Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
Hi all. I have been sick for the last 3 weeks. I've been tested for strep throat and the flu both of which came back negative. The doctor says it's a virus that just has to run it's course. I've never been sick this long. Does having diabetes mean things like this last longer? I know that things like cuts on fingers and toes and such take longer to heal, so the same goes with any type of malady? I'm sick of being sick!!! lol
I have kids on East and West Coast Guess what they had it when we did and it last about four weeks.
And that is people without Diabetes too. Just a virus like your doctor said. And it is miserable. I guess the world is getting smaller. People flying everywhere and carring this stuff with us and giving it to everyone.
b33charmer, yes, it's going around where I work too. Just didn't realize what a life this thing had!
mzizgayle, yes, my numbers have been higher than they should be these last weeks, but only with the fasting bs. Once I've had my Byetta in the am and then a proper breakfast, my bs returns to the level it should be at and stays that way for the day. But my first test every morning has been coming back over 130. This morning it was 145 and yesterday was 152. Grrr!
