Ok, this is noted. Thank you for this advice!

I am newly diagnosed and encouragement like this is really good. I am feeling frustrated because I feel I lack support from my GP alone and there are a lot of information I have to take in which weren't discussed with me. This forum is really helpful because I could read and learn a lot from...

I honestly did not understand any of the information but I will read on it. I'm thinking of what you said that the doctor will base my type on the response of my treatment. I really lack information based on everyone's response, I'm kinda feeling frustrated now.

Thanks for this. Maybe I wasn't tested for this because my BMI is above normal and I wasn't also tested for ketones (does that show in the urine test? I guess my result was negative). I was only tested with hgba1c, urinalysis and RBS.

Thank you for this. I absolutely appreciate everyone's advice. I'm having a hard time because my doctor didn't discuss this with me. We wouldn't be meeting till next week because my doctor is based in my hometown. Yes I was diagnosed and given meds, was told to control my diet assuming I have to...

Thank you for this Admin, I will read on it. I just have difficulty with keeping track on my food because in our place, most of our meals do not have nutritional content measurement. I base it mostly on portions when logging my food diary.

Thanks for the website and advice, I'll read on it. I started noting my food diary but I haven't monitored my BG after meals, would it be immediately post meal or at least a few minutes or hours after eating?

Hey! Umm no, I wasn't tested for GAD and C-peptide. I was diagnosed by my hgba1c, urinalysis and random blood sugar. Is it possible that I'd be a type1 despite my body size?

Thanks for this Keesha. I cut rice from my diet and so far not that successful because there are times where I'd eat at least half a cup haha. Is it ok though to eat like a lot of protein with vegetables?

Ok, I'll do that. I still have to read about the carbo balance with insulin though. Thanks again Sunny..

Alright, I will go thru the threads. Some terms are confusing and I have to research about it hehe. I am on the insulin regimen and I was also advised to take 1g Metformin twice a day along with it. I was also advised to take my BG every 3 days. And I don't really test my BG after eating...

Thank you for this Sunny. I'm going thru several threads and questions are building up such as how much carbs=insulin dose. This weren't discussed by my doctor and I'll be seeing her after two weeks because I work far from my hometown where I had my check up with her. I think I'll be noting my...

Hello... I am used to eating rice and I also love sweets. Honestly, I avoided sweets immediately the day I was diagnosed (including juices because my doctor told me to take water most of the time instead) but I couldn't avoid rice. I tried to limit it at least one cup a day as compared to 3-4...

There's more to life than sweets alone. ;)

I knew I had to go for a check up when I continued to experience several signs and symptoms such as tingling and numbness of fingers that could go on for a day, blurring of vision at random times, and even wounds that would take up a longer healing time as compared before. And last Friday, it...
