People with decreased insulin sensitivity become glucose intolerant and there is a test for that.

Dear all We must be grateful to the OP for recounting his story and giving us his views on diabetes management. A number of members have given their views on the topic and there has been some animosity, including a deleted comment. We also appear to have had some technical issues. I think the...

My guess would be that you will have to watch your insulin use very carefully as those medications, when used together, should cause a strong lowering of your BS. There should be a consequent weight loss if they are used with an appropriate diet. A decrease in BP is likely with the weight loss...

Hello Mayu If English is a problem for you you might want to try http://www.diabetes-forum.de Keep well

I have no issues with metformin after 18 plus years. I am also pleased that current research on metformin is pointing to beneficial effects in cardiac health and cancer prevention. Here is a link about diabetic medications. The "glitazone" drugs improve the action of insulin like metformin but...

The aim of the form is to support and make clear not to offend and confuse.

I am not sure how you work that out. You can only go into remission from something you have not from something you might get. People with cancer can go into remission but people without cancer cannot. Simple definition of remission: a period of time during a serious illness when the patient's...

It is good that you have found a diet that works for you to manage your diabetes. Other people have had excellent results from carbohydrate restriction (such as the Newcastle Diet) and other methods of diabetes management. I hope that you remain as a member of the Forum to hear about the...

Hopefully someone will be along soon to answer your post. Doug

Hi and welcome to the Forum Have you been told why your pancreas is not producing the enzymes it should? It can be for a number of reasons and knowing that would help me to direct you to appropriate advice and support. Regards Doug

Hi there. I think that you may have type 2 diabetes. The fasting reading you took, if duplicated on a second test, is diagnostic of type 2 diabetes. That might explain how you have developed early neuropathy. Fortunately you have taken action and your diabetes is controlled. Well done...

@TooManyCrisps you really just need to concentrate on your management. When you see others lower readings then take out of that "I can do that too" rather than "I'm a failure". There is a forum full of people rooting for you and ready to support you on your journey. Take care Doug

I will update the thread if she replies to my PM. Doug

Your post was moved to a new thread as it strayed from the topic - fasting blood sugars. People are not limited to just a number but cannot go off and talk about other readings. You now have a thread where you and any other members can post weekly average BS results if you find that helpful...

I have sent her a PM. Doug
