with me being recently diagnosed with t2, I’ve been doing so much research.
Sometimes when I’m looking at articles and forums I can get negative thoughts it my head, last night was one of them!
Now I can’t remember the website I was on, I think it was like a forum but can’t find it....it was saying that eventually after so many year our pancreas will wear out and we’d have to go on insulin or other medication.
On one part it says if our blood goes over 7.8mmol the odd time it will destroy our beta cells, so it scared me as 2 nights ago I had a little dessert with my friends and it went up to a 9 (first time in weeks), but in the second hour it was a 6.5.
I’m only 23 does this mean by the time I’m 40 my pancreas won’t work at all?, does this make me worser off compared to someone diagnosed at 40 or 50?
If I stick to weight-loss and get to a healthy weight (I have 7 stone to lose) and a healthy diet does this mean I have the chance of being revered for the majority of my life?
