Ok. You convinced me.
Another Life Saved!™
Actually, I exaggerated. My real sugars are in the zone considered dangerous, 150-250. I need to get to a doctor, I suspect.
WHEW!
I am really relieved that my leg was being pulled. I am really scared out of my mind of 400+ levels of blood sugar, and if anybody else says that they have that, I’m scared for them too. I will never forget how that felt.
But yeah, that range is dangerous. Slow, steady damage, and none of the long term effects of it are good.
I have found much success with metformin and glimepride generics. I don’t have insurance, bc screw obama, so I have to pay for that stuff out of pocket, and it’s no problem. No side effects that I know of yet...
It’s hard for me to change my diet as I should, I’m from New Orleans, I can’t help myself, I like to eat!
Ok, ok, I’m going to the doctor.
Yep.
That’s what brought me there in an ambulance at the edge of death.
It’s absolute misery.
I’m Type 2 and in my late 60s. I was diagnosed 12 years ago. I’m addicted. If you have the will power, it’s never too early or too late. I love your humor.
Be well.
I agree with you. My dad who got diagnosed with Type 2 in his late thirties has been keeping his glucose levels in check ,most times with diet and occasionally with pills since the past 4 decades.
What I noticed him do ever since his diagnosis are curb his appetite ( hear no starving yourself) step by step and making a lot of low carb yet protein rich delicious choices for his frequent and small meals/snacks .(Nope! no steamed broccoli and green beans either.) Its all about finding a lot of replacements to your diet and acknowledging that you must rely on medication occasionally if not frequently.
Oh, forgot to mention that my mom’s very boring 3 course only menu/365 days a year helped him curb his appetite too :))
thanx
