Diabeetus

Besides losing weight, exercising, and cutting out sugar & carbs, I STRONGLY SUGGEST a cinnamon pill, and an apple cider vinegar pill after every meal. I saw INSTANT results in my blood sugar levels when I started taking these all natural supplements.

I decided to not wait to be diagnosed with it, so I started exercising and cut back on sugars almost a year ago. I feel better and have lost around 15 lbs so far. I wasn't really fat, just had some excess to get rid of. I've always eaten pretty well, but have been eating better. I plan to get down to around 160 (just over 170 now) and to continue exercising, hopefully adding more to the mix over time. Most of my family don't have the big D, but they've also had very active lifestyles, where mine has always been pretty sedentary. Hoping if I keep this up I avoid the D and am healthier overall

Thanks for the tip, I've never heard of this. I discovered I was pre-diabetic 18 months ago and have been controlling it with exercise and diet. But if a couple of pills a day could get me back to an occasional bowl of ice cream, I'm in. Went straight to Amazon and ordered some.

Type 2 since Jan 2000 ... A1C's between 12.3 and current 7.8

Tried all the regular meds - Metformin - Actos - Byetta - Novolog - Levemir - Januvia - Invokana - Trulicity - Humulin R500 - Jardiance ...

Only ones still working : Humulin R500 (~600 units/day) - Metformin - Jardiance

One of the differences between Type 1 & Type 2 -- is if the Pancreas can still produce Insulin ... and how much - when it wears out you WILL be on Insulin

One of my Endocrinologist told me that if people lived long enough for the Pancreas to Fail -- we would ALL be Diabetic (prob why half my Diabetic Education classmates were over 70 )


FYI ... the Needles for the Insulin hurt LESS than the Fingersticks for testing

Most of the time I don't feel them. When they draw blood hurts more than the finger stick.

Welp looks like all the avoiding diabetes things gave the beetus. I've got a consult in with the endocrinologist and a bottle of glipizide.

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear that.

I am too. Lol I did all the suggestions but I guess my rapid weight loss was too much.

So I have to wait for the endocrinologist to see if it will go back to pre-beetus or If I'm gonna be stuck with it.

That's different than any other topic on the internet how?
