These conditions should be considered as a warning of diabetes, later, if not earlier.

Strangely, I’d say glucose and insulin levels are your best indicators, but these maladies certainly work, too.

I had undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea for many years and these conditions may have been brought on by failure to get adequate oxygenated sleep.

At the time I was still trying to get exercise regularly but eventually heart irregularity, lung infections, and obesity did lead to type 2 diabetes.

Now with the sleep apnea diagnosed and treated, I am still experiencing all the other conditions but feeling better with a ventilator and o2 at night.

Just a note because the sleep problems are not always the first thing the MDs look for, and it could well be a contributor to Diabetes too.

I’ve been reading as of late that COVID can possibly bring on diabetes. Not sure about the vax.

Fasting insulin is the key. “Normal” is 2 to 20 (better to be on the low end). It will rise about ten years earlier than fasting glucose. Cut carbs and snacks.

Type 2 is reversible; however, the ‘white coats’ tell you it’s chronic/progressive, give either no dietary advice or the absolute wrong advice, slap you on metformin, then as your T2D progresses, higher and higher doses of insulin, which causes you to gain even more weight among other negative consequences and eventually, all hell breaks loose with serious, life-threatening issues such as cardiovascular issues, renal failure, potential amputations, etc.

This is a small, retrospective observational study and cannot prove causation.

That should be the headline.

I have type 2 and I had none of the mentioned maladies. I DID have a severe case of forkinmouth syndrome...

I am under the impression that every "disease" associated with Type 2 diabetes can be defeated by a 24-36 hour fast once a week.

Apparently, the fast completely resets your blood sugar level for up to one week.

If my impression is incorrect, please feel free to re-educate me.
