    Type 2 How can I convince myself this is serious?

    I have been diagnosed with type 2 and am on medication, it seems to work well. My a1c is good. But, I don’t eat like I should. I never say I am diabetic. I have seen and heard of people with terrible complications and it does not phase me. I have lost some weight, which is great, but even...

    Type 2 How does anemia affect A1C results?

    Thank you. I misunderstood her. Yes, she mentioned about the dawn phenomenon, didn’t explain it as well as you. Random readings during the day are better than my fasting but I rarely test except in the morning. I have never had a low blood sugar result. You think the home glucose readings...

    Type 2 How does anemia affect A1C results?

    my fasting glucose does not correlate well with A1C. My endocrinologist said there could be a number of reasons. One was anemia so she ordered a CBC along with my last lab order. I have the results but I don’t see her for awhile. I only converted glucose from US units. Let me know if I need...

    Januvia (sigaliptin)having leg cramps

    i just started Januvia. My dr said joint pain and muscle soreness are side effects. I have terrible cramps in both calves tonight. I took some ibuprofen and have my legs under a blanket which helps some. I will talk to my dr in the am. Is there something else I should do?
