Aparantly the surgery causes the body elsewhere to stop the uptake of glucose through some sort of mechanism . basically it causes your body to burn glucose off via the intestines through some strange enzymeOn medication that can lower blood sugar, such as metformin, under 4 isn't considered a safe zone, it hypoglycaemic.
Why on earth would you be considering a pancreas transplant if the only medication youre taking is metformin so you patently are producing your own insulin. Putting a transplanted pancreas into you won't make you not be insulin resistant. It will mean undergoing a surgery with a 2% mortality risk and 8% risk of serious complications as well as immunosuppressants that significantly increase your risk of kidney damage and skin cancer.
Can you please share a link to wher you have seen bariatric surgery putting blood sugar to 1 or 3? Those are dangerously hypoglycaemic readings, not readings to be aspired to.
Like I said these options are my goto if I hit complications it costs 8k for stomach reduction and 5 for the band. I am not going to let a disease kill me slowly when a money can provide a better outcome. In the case of pancreas they don't remove the originals just tie them through two different paths.On medication that can lower blood sugar, such as metformin, under 4 isn't considered a safe zone, it hypoglycaemic.

As a type1 you get intensive support and carb guidance to be started on insulin injections. Type2s don't. They get given the info they are now diabetic and left mainly to their own devices. Type2s need tools to bring down their serioysly high bgs. This forum fills that time gap of sometimes years before a type2 gets decent support.
Don't begrudge them that support. A decent start like you got automatically!
Yeah that's the on just can't spell itAre you confusing it with bariatric surgery hun? @sheepie123
Ultimately I don't wanna go blind so getting this into a normal range with an overhead is my goalIt does worry me ,the constant panic about apparently high BG readings when sometimes they are NO different than a non diabetic.I ran an experiment for a week with two non diabetics to test the reaction of certain foods,they sometimes had higher readings than me.Yes some people are more insulin resistant than others agreed and have total need to keep the carbs low BUT can it be taken too far crossing the line into unnecessary illness.I read an artical about low carbing to far can cause the pancreas to slow down production of insulin.Yes I'm aware of complications no doubt,I'm not saying don't take it serious but don't think it's necessary to be so obsessive.

How can one the if there insulin resistant or ate low producers
I think you should give diet and exercise a reasonable chance for several months as it takes a while, before you start considering the risky and rather drastic options of surgery. A gastrict band would reduce your appetite and help reduce weight but you would still have to watch what you ate and how it impacted on BG levels.Like I said these options are my goto if I hit complications it costs 8k for stomach reduction and 5 for the band.

Obsessive is never mentally healthy. Ambitious is something else.It does worry me ,the constant panic about apparently high BG readings when sometimes they are NO different than a non diabetic.I ran an experiment for a week with two non diabetics to test the reaction of certain foods,they sometimes had higher readings than me.Yes some people are more insulin resistant than others agreed and have total need to keep the carbs low BUT can it be taken too far crossing the line into unnecessary illness.I read an artical about low carbing to far can cause the pancreas to slow down production of insulin.Yes I'm aware of complications no doubt,I'm not saying don't take it serious but don't think it's necessary to be so obsessive.
If your not pushed into bariatric surgery early on by a consultant. Do it when your ready! @sheepie123 . Its not easy to do. People think you just have op and da dar! Your thin. Nope! Its hard work.I think you should give diet and exercise and reasonable chance for several months as it takes a while, before you start considering the risky and rather drastic options of surgery. A gastrict band would reduce your appetite and help reduce weight but you would still have to watch what you ate and how it impacted on BG levels.
There are scores of contibutors to this forum who have had great success reducing weight and BG through diet and exercise and many who have been classified as 'in remission' as a result of their self management of the condition. Don't assume you'll develop complictions. Think positive and act to reduce the chances of them arising.
My spikes are generally 7.8 around 1hr after dinner then back to around 6.5 2-3 hours later slowly dropping to 5.8I think alot of T2D have lower spikes than a T1D .To low is seriously dangerous and obsessive.
Although I have to have mine in 4s or 5s to lose weight, strange isn't it? I don't get hypo symptoms in 4s when I'm ranging well.I think alot of T2D have lower spikes than a T1D .To low is seriously dangerous and obsessive.
OK so you are 18 stone and eating about 100g of carbs per day? Is that right?My spikes are generally 7.8 around 1hr after dinner then back to around 6.5 2-3 hours later slowly dropping to 5.8
