I believe I have diabetic retinopathy. I had my eyes checked the other day and the doctor also believes this to be the case. I'm at a point where I'm afraid to eat anything because I know it will damage my eyesight for the remainder of the day. Any type of carb is dangerous and I have to avoid...

After I sleep, it goes back to normal, but if I eat a heavy carb meal, I'm screwed for hours. I'm trying to figure out what I can and can't eat but it keeps happening. I've been cooking most of my meals, but it seems any kind of flour-based bread is too much for me. I've also increased my insult...

Maybe this is american-only problem but diabetics can drink milk? Whenever I drink anything that's not water or a sugar free soda, my blood sugar spikes to 250. Everything we have has added sugar and I'm worn out trying to find foods that aren't actively out to hospitalize me. I should also...

I've been injecting it into my gut, but I've found that there are many nerves in very specific regions around my belly button that are painful. I don't know if I should be aiming for those or avoiding them. Does it matter? Should I see blood when I remove the needle? I lack the education on all...

Is this something I should be worried about? I brought this up with my GP and he blew me off, saying vitamin B12 levels can't be affected by Metformin. Is he wrong? Is it in my best interest to buy an at-home b12 monitoring kit? Is that even a thing I can buy for myself?

Car has been broken for months now but I'm fine without one except for when I need to get my insulin. I want to avoid having to go into anywhere unless I need to, which is only when I need a refill for insulin. Is Amazon safe to order needles from? Trying to keep the cost low + not get something...

He recommended me going on metformin and another drug, but I mentioned that I struggled to swallow the whole metformin pill, so he prescribed me insulin. I don't know what the other pill is called. I've been cutting my metformin in half to get them down easier but I still have a feeling like...

I've already, rather reluctantly, cut all but bread out. I switched over to whole grain bread years ago but I guess it was a mistake. Metformin's been keeping something under control, but I don't know exactly what. I have a blood glucose monitor that I check with about every 4 hrs. Before...

I don't know what it is but I can't wake up if I go too long without eating. My blood sugar levels will not drop below 180 mg/dl. If I eat anything, they spike to 280-350 depending on what I consume. Even with metformin, they won't go lower than 180. I don't understand what's wrong with my diet...
