I've type 2 diabetes and at the moment I don't care for jabbing myself or take the meds that I've been given so it's the case if I die I die.
Hi
@Mikeylad5368
Welcome to club no one wants to join.
@VashtiB &
@MrsA2 make good points
As do many others .
As to your opening post ...mmhh
Sadly it's not like a heart attack .
We die slowly, bit by bit
Yet easy enough to do something about it before that happens.
Meter, if you can stand pricking a finger, and it's not forever.
OR
Simply try moderating your diet and wait 3 months for your HBA1c results
They should show a drop, and You could guess
What helped most and carry on doing that.
OR
Just ignore it and do nothing ?
I do however think you looked online for something to help, or You wouldn't have found this forum .
So I'd say...
Read up, make the leap to testing..(it is results on the day of what worked/didn't work)
Helps you work out a diet that works for you.
If the testing IS too much, then adjust diet and trust your instincts
Pretty sure any loss of feeling, digits or limbs or malfunctioning organs , bears heavy on us if that ever happens.
And to think there was something we could have done, but didn't..would be the bitterest of tastes, imho
Stick around, read up.
Then make your mind up
As l'Oreal say
"Your worth it".
Good luck .
