type 2

Good Morning I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2013. I will admit I have been going through so many other things; menopause, depression and anxiety that after at first being in total denial, I then went on to be a rebel. I confess I am a sugar addict and food is my comfort. To be told I...

Hi, Received a call from my GP surgery a few days ago to advice me I am diabetic. I had not had any symptoms so bit of a surprise! Had been send for blood tests as I am on steroid inhalers for asthma and apparently these can cause diabetes (had never been told this before).. Anyway, my HbAc1...

My dad has been type 2 for many years and my daughter is type 1 so I know plenty about type 1 but not too much about metaformin. My dad has prostate cancer and is doing ok with the treatment but he is getting old and doesn't eat as much and has never eaten any desserts or sugary things since...

My c peptide was 3.1 ng/ml standard range is 0.8 - 3.5 ng/mL. My blood glucose at the time was 126mg/dl. I was taking 20mg of glipizide a day and told I am type 2. This isn't making sense to me.....(BTW I'm in the USA.)

I'm not bashing Subway. I've always enjoyed a sub. But yesterday the office ordered in. I had a 6" cold cut with lettuce and tomato. Before the meal i was at 5.1 after the meal i was 10.3. I though it was wrong so I tested on the other hand. It was 9.8. So i guess Subway is off the list. I...
