[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1821722, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I'm trying this out as a simplified explanation (Feedback welcome): Type two diabetes is a metabolic dysfunction. Metabolic dysfunctions can be aided with medication, which can help with the symptoms, but the only way to fix metabolism malfunctions is by changing your metabolism. And that is by food (and drink), and to some extent (and to what extent differs between individuals) - physical activity. [USER=479578]@M6CEB[/USER], as you are an Asperger - would you not find tracking your HBA1c and daily blood glucose readings with food and drink satisfying/gratifying? Drawing up graphs etc? I say this as someone with an obsessive personality :) with many Asperger/neuro-diverse friends. I understand that it can be exceedingly hard for neuro-diverse folk to change routines, but the what-food-you-eat routine is one that, with type two diabetes, badly needs changing if you are going to live the healthiest and longest life possible. I agree with posters above who say your life will change along with eating-and-metering, when you see how the food you have been eating is contributing to your current metabolic malfunction.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
