So it seems that it's just luck of the draw. Try or don't try. You get complications or you dont. Whether you try or don't try.
One of my aunts died of diabetes type 2.
I wasn't close to this aunt so idk what complications got her but cause of death was listed as type 2 diabetes. To my knowledge she didn't try.
But the dying friend has been doing everything recommended.
But is still dying from a serious life threatening complication from type 2 diabetes.
So either way it doesn't matter.

I recently did a post asking why type 2 is routinely listed as a cause of death when it's really other things.
I lost a relative to brain tumour. They also had blood cancer, heart failure and high blood pressure. All serious and life threatening, yet the second cause was listed as T2 which they'd only had a couple of years and with not too bad bg numbers.
Reading the responses my conclusion is T2 is listed if we've ever been diagnosed, irrespective whether it was an actual cause of the death.

What "complications" does your friend have?

Is T2 really fatal???

Readers of my other posts will know that a close relative died at Christmas I have today received their death certificate which shows 1 brain tumour 2 Type 2 and hypothyroidism I know the person had at least 3 other serious conditions, blood cancer (for over 30 years) , very high blood...

I had to give in and eat. It wasn't going to get to a 5.
I only wanted something to help control my numbers. Meds don't help. I've tried many. Food choices don't help as I haven't any choices.
I just needed something that would help. I don't want to lose my feet.
Of all the options I know of I'm left with just 1 now. That I haven't tried. If I try it I will post it. If not and in the meantime I guess I go back to what I was doing before. Ignoring it all.

Hi - Just wanted to say I am poorly controlled (T2) and have decided I need to take control. I have just tried the free trial of Libre 2 sensor. My thinking behind this is that if I can see the real time BG levels it might stop me from eating poorly and, wow, it has done just that. So I'm sort of doing what you are - eating to my numbers, but not a specific number, just if the BG is in the 'normal' range and its a meal time I will eat. Yesterday my levels were in the normal range all day whereas when I started they were all above it. Seeing the levels go down is quite a buzz and give you the impetus to not eat that cake or biscuit! You say you dont have any food choices - is that because you area fussy eater? I am so fussy its unbelievable, so I'm just eating things I like but trying to keep down the carbs. I'm wondering if a Libre 2 or similar monitoring system would be helpful to you too?

I have alot of food intolerances.
So it limits my choices plus no teeth. Plus a low income.

Your idea sounds good.
A range rather than a number.

I have a Libre 2 and regular metre-- freestyle lite.
 
No more sweet potatoes.
15 with a going up arrow.
Idc how healthy they are or how cheap I can get them.
Plus I have an awful stomach ache.
I can take some insulin to lower that number but I dont need the side effects. It's very painful to get the feet cramps and I can't get them undone very well.
