Yup saw it very late. I am quite worried. Not sure what to do.

I had visited a clinic today as i have been having severe panic attack. Had chest pain, so I had to undergo echo 2d again. Are here any health workers who have experience with how risky it is to be in hospitals during this time. I was in the hospital for 2 hours. I took shower as soon as i...

I have been doing exercises and very active but it does not seem to be helping. I went from fit young adult to really sick person after the hospital stay. Not sure what was the medicine given and what effect it has caused. I have been to several doctors(GP and kideny specialist) since then and...

I am sorry but its not funny. I have had swelling since 2015 after hospital stay. I am not sure what is happening, will start doing investigations on this again.

I have had ecg, few doctors says its normal few say its not. It shows high heart rate and arrhythmia. I didn't take it for long, took it for just three days but it was three times a day. It was enough for me to cause swelling in my legs. I am clueless, i have never felt short of breath but i am...

My EF is 60% and do have swelling in legs. But my doctor says it is fine. Should consult another doctor.? I have swelling since i took lots of antibiotics with a malaria course when i was admitted in hospital since 2015. I sometimes worry that it was same malaria course that it is in news...

I feel Diet is most important, then exercise then supplements. If want to try ayurveda try bitter gourds, fenugreek seeds. There is not medicine in this world to alone help in diabetes and control its complications.

Was really going good for sometime but my anxiety is back again. Since last week pains and pressure in neck is back again. I am again going towards the sleepless night and can't stop thinking about the stupid decision i took to get admitted in hospital and let doctors douse me with IV...

What your age ? And if underweight were tou tested for antibodies for other type of diabetes?

I did, my a1c was 6.0% in feb 2018 which was pre diabetic, and my fasting glucose after that were in 100's as in 103, 108. With bread i used to spike to 156 to 165 with in one hour. I am seeing an improvement in that not sure how long it will last.

I have been vegetarian for two months now and i would like to share my experience though i have included fenugreek seeds which i think are major reason for my normal blood glucose. I ate 3 bread slices and 1.5 hours later my blood sugars are 98. I again ate lentils pancake made from two cups of...

I am in same situation. Not type 2 but gaining weight is a problem and can't afford to loose any further weight.

I am also terrified of everything. I am having symptoms as well. A stay in hospital for 3 days and antibiotics medicines changed everything for me at 29. My body is very sick.

Not surprised with your experience of low carb. BG's will be flat after such meals and you are just in very early stage of prediabetic. No carbs no sugar spike. I am proponent of experiments az i did for myself and happy for you that low carb is making you feel good and you feeling great. Just...

8 Sorry I don't have any book to suggest. I understand you are already plants based and OMAD. But you said you are overweight. Is it possible for you cut oil or reduce it and reduce the portion size of your meal? Also do you eat refined products? When you loose weight you improve insulin...

I was not clear with my words. By high carb I did not mean flour products and high glycemic foods like potatoes and rice. Lentils and beans are also high carb for as i was on very low carb diet. So i refer them too as high carb. I would still say that high carb may help same as low carb. Though...

Yes. So last month when i ate two bowls of lentils i was 136 after two hours, 108 after 4 hours. A week before i ate some regular noodle, lentils pan cake and one bowl of kidney beans. I was 106 at 1.5 hours. I am taking fenugreek seeds also since going vegetarian which seems to be helping. I...

I understand many people here have experience with low carb, even I have had blood sugar and other markers improved. I don't deny it neither I am saying that high carb would work for everyone. But my experience with low carb/high fat/high protien wasn't that great either. I dropped so much...

You can look at mastering diabetes and research studies on plant based diet for hba1c reduction and I have first hand experience on high fat low carb diet as well. Its pros and cons and I am absolutely aware of what I am writing here. High fat doesn't help with insulin resistance, it just mask it.

Don't take extreme measures just on one glucose reading of 102. I can say it because i was in same situation my blood sugar was 103. Also if you are overweight now, no harm in achieving healthy weight. Don't go high fat or very low carb. I think just by cutting refined carbs, high fat meat and...
