DeeJ :

i have been a diabetic for 29 years. is there anyway you can put this in terms a 6th grader can understand. i am sorry i understand 1 out of 4 words.

Connie Taylor❌️ :

I have never understood why they give type 2 diabetics insulin instead of teaching them what to eat in order to keep their blood sugar down. my doctor tried to put me on insulin that my A1C is only 6.6. i educated him on why I should not be on insulin. And instead, why he should be teaching me what to eat? And then I had to teach him what I should be eating and how it affects my body.

Words2Kanvas :

how about poor sleep?

elenamorrison35 :

Infection and malnutrition deficiency.

kattluvs3 :

Don't forget women, I hit perimenopause and my hormones went crazy. Insulin is a hormone They said my A1C was 6.9 wanted to put me on metformin. I said retest me in 3 months. I got on HRT and watched my food I take and it dropped to 5.2

Annette4life❌ :

This is awesome information

☣️Anarchy&Malarkey☣️ :

Joosh :

When I was diagnosed with Type 2, my fasting blood glucose was 400 after a week of being too weak to eat, I was in keto acidosis longer than that. If I had left it one more day, I might have dropped into a coma. I'm fairly certain I'm really type 2 diabetic. I changed my diet while I was still in the ICU, stuck with it, tapered off Lispro within the next month, tapered off of Lantus by the 3rd month, tapered off of Metformin after 10 months. I lost over 100lbs.

pedyrn :

A lot of people are insulin resistant

LiSaNov73 :

Locked and loaded :

MelinddasWorld2 :

im glad you spelled things out for me. I understand most of it but it was so fast.....what happens when you throw in bipolar disorder? Drs do not understand the highs that come with the highs....not from food.😳

Tammy sunshine walker :

Doc says I’m diabetic type 2, gave me mounjaro and metformin , I don’t take the metformin, I wear a sensor and my glucose is always low 55-75 is my average, mainly low when I’m at rest or sleeping. So am I really diabetic?

Wauneta :

how about measure an insulin level which is not recommended by the ADA..

Nanas' & Papas' Place :

It's their plan🤪

SueK :

I was misdiagnosed type 2 and I refused the meds and worked on fixing with diet and lifestyle. I did well for 5 years until I found out I'm type 1 LADA, after antibodies testing. I lost 15 pounds in 8 days when my honeymoon phase was over. I'm now insulin dependent.
