OK,talked me into this,I have to try it.

You are the perfect example of somebody with a need for seeing the Dr and not taking up time better spent elsewhere.... and should see Dr in my opinion.Your symptoms are certainly worth addressing and having your healthcare team evaluate,you wont be wasting their time IMO.And if nothing is amiss...

We would rather see you and not find anything than not see you and you have a problem. If you have any concerns,address them.Thats the smart move.Especially...Im dizzy,I have a lump,skin looks different,I feel palpitations,feel numb,short of breath,swelling....those kind of things that could...

The attitude is how do we treat you when we have no idea what meds you are self administering?Example,you are DKA in intensive care and your friends are smuggling in McDonalds? Or you are on a medical floor receiving pain meds or other powerful drugs and self administering...you will have a...

Dunno.Im getting tested in September,let you know of any med changes.

Thats interesting.In the USA you do not self administer meds while in the hospital.

Agree.They are finally doing something.FINALLY something on the diagnosis front.You are a challenging case.It looks like finally they have some ideas.Heres hoping they get this nailed down and that you start feeling better. I wouldnt be in a hurry to leave,but I get why you want to.In USA its...

There is no confusion.You can get lousy advice from the mainstream healthcare industry that believes diabetes is a chronic progressive fatal disease based on poor science from 50 years ago,or you can get dietary advice from real diabetics living with it and putting it in its place. I got my...

FANTASTIC!! :) Those are tremendous !!!

In my case many months.Maybe a year or 2,hard to say because symptoms were so minor as it started.Foot first started getting cool,then colder,then a smidgen numb,then it started to get tingly and noticeably numb.Slow and steady.Mine was never severe but for sure it made itself known. It was...

Thats when its time to hit the net and look up keto and low carb foods.There is plenty of variety.Mrs found a Keto waffle recipe thats actually good,made strawberry jam with Erythritol.Reheat that in the microwave (you do have that hopefully?),add your butter and jam and you would be stylin'! :woot:

LOL,I thought the same thing reading that. In my learning as a type2 I found out in much simpler terms about GLUT4 and how that exercise opened receptors on muscles to grab the glucose,hence why the walking works on sugars as the leg muscles are your biggest muscles and they just grab that...

Congratulations,what a super job youve done!That is really taking charge!! :) So,what diet/lifestyle choice is next after the weight loss? Do you know yet?

I would get back to Dr.

Only time I had something similar was when I injured my back.My foot tingling related to diabetes was a slow onset thing.FWIW. You are on the right track seeing your Dr,think you are spot on . Good luck.

You are already learning fast.If indeed type 2 the low carb/high fat really works wonders for very many people.Its not so much high fat... as you are no longer eating high carb,so you need to increase fat to replace it with. Are you aware that we now know eating dietary fat has very little...

I think most of us have felt that too. One new thing I found workable was Mrs makes a Keto waffle and made strawberry jam with Erythritol and a little of that,with butter....new and awesome!!

Coffee or strong tea is my go to.Since Ive retired I often take a 1-2 hour nap around 5-6 PM and 4-5 hours at night,works for me.Folks used to go to bed after dinner and couple hours after sundown,then get up later and do whatever,then sleep again before sunrise.Supposedly we are wired that way.

You are winner in my book,well done!!!!!!!! :)

Friend was a researcher at a large university training hospital.They did a study on autopsy of soldiers killed in VietNam who were from southern California,very smoggy at the time.The found lung damage equal to smoking 2 packs a day,Gov wasnt happy.Media wasnt happy.So they did a follow up...
