    Cbd Oil Vs Metformin

    I went from 1 tablet to 3 different kinds and that was at the insistence of the doctor. The only benefit I got was cancelled out by the increased side effects and that's what prompted me to try this way instead. My diet has cut most dairy and high carbs out and I eat non processed food as much...

    Cbd Oil Vs Metformin

    Incidentally, I am NOT advocating that people stop taking their meds. Everyone has different reactions to different things. I'm just interested in getting opinions from people who are doing or have done the same thing and what results they've had.

    Cbd Oil Vs Metformin

    I've decided to try a different tac with my type 2. I've been on metformin since being diagnosed back in 2015 and suffered from constant diarrhoea, total lack of energy and stomach problems. For the first 3 years I was on 500mg twice a day and thought I was doing okay. The sugar levels were...

    Yes I never had any symptoms either until that one weekend where it all came to head at once. So I knew immediately. Having a a friend's husband allow me to take a reading confirmed it. I never actually upped my physical exercise though so I've no doubt you'll get those levels down, especially...

    No, they've never said anything to me about it. But if I'm on normal blood sugar levels then my pancreas must be producing AND operating more efficiently. I haven't had to take any injections. Keep going and best of luck to you.

    Ok, well I went for my annual check at the hospital yesterday. I thought it was coming in September but no, 4th July. For some reason they couldn't do the hba1c bloods so were relying on the results from last March. Those March levels were down to 49 (down from the initial reading of 107 when...

    Well done sir! I'm also trying for the same goal. It's early days yet but the signs are good so far.

    Yes, thankfully I've managed to keep the stress levels down. I'm not someone who gets stressed all that much and when I do I try and focus on the positives so the stress goes away. Stress isn't really a factor with me. Bad diet and years of having a sweet tooth plus lack of exercise is what got...

    Yep, I'm under no illusions about it. If I start eating the junk food again or that sweet tooth comes back, so will the high glucose levels. But for now I'm quite happy to have taken control of it and the task now is to keep things as they are. Very happy to be off the meds too. :)

    I was diagnosed with Type 2 in March last year at the age of 47. I suspect however that I've actually been diabetic for possibly 3-5 years due to the number of sweet things I was eating, a liking for unhealthy foods, too many sugary lattes etc. My weight was also creeping up due to little or no...

    I can't remember the brand, but it's the UHT semi skimmed milk from Lidl. I think it originates in Spain. I checked it and it has over 14% sugar.

    Yeah, it's a big adjustment but already I'm finding out that my main weakness was sugar in tea & coffee. Getting used to the taste wihtout any sweetening of the drink is my problem. A cuppa tae just doesn't taste the same anymore ;-) On the plus side, my BG went into singles figures last night...

    Greetings

    Thank ye sir! I'm feeling quite good about myself as it happens. Confirming T2 answered a lot of questions that were piling up the past year or so. Probably the biggest one was the fear that my eyesight was deteriorating permanently. Now I know what was causing it, I haven't got that fear anymore.

    Yep, I was told I could work myself into a tizzy if I read everything on food labels. So rather than practically camping out in supermarket aisles, I'll take my nurses advice and just concentrate on moderation/moderation/moderation However, seeing as you mentioned it I better check my beetroot...

    Yes, I've removed all the temptations from the apartment. One thing that surprised me upon inspection yesterday, was the lactose-free milk I had switched to a few weeks back has 4 times the sugar content of ordinary milk. Like they say, the road to hell... :facepalm:

    Nothing long term just yet. My big problem is cutting out the sugar so tea and coffee are the initial ones to change. And my compulsion for bags of sweets was quickly overcome. It's just a case of getting the high levels down to a more manageable level first and then thinking a bit further...
