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...

Two weeks ago I went for my diabetic eye exam then had to schedule for a regular eye exam that I was supposed to go to today well the dr told me then if my blood sugar was high to call and cancel my appt well 8am this morning when I woke up I checked my blood sugar it was 156 which in the mornings lately its been ranging from 140-160 which is my fasting....  Then i took my meds and decided to lay back down for awhile since i still adequate time b4 I had to get ready...  Well I got up at 10 ate my cereal drank a cup of coffee then got ready for the day went down to my fiancee's apt got some things of his to take with me cause hes in the hospital for pneumonia after I got his things together I took his dog out for her walk then brought her back in then I realized I had to come back up to my apt because I 4got a few things up here so I decided to check my blood sugars again cause my vision was a bit blurry but wasnt sure if it was because I was outside without my sunglasses or cause my sugar was up well here of course my sugar was up to 279 so I had to cancel my appt :(  so I had called my fiancee to let him know what was going on Im going to do what I know will bring down my numbers b4 I decide to venture out to the hospital to see him cause I dont need to be driving and have an accident.. Sorry but I needed to vent guess thatll teach me to eat my cereal earlier than what I did today....  but at least the eye drs office were understanding

http://managingdiabetes.freeforums.net. sometimes it does happen, sorry the doctors would not see you, but when numbers high they will affect the eyes. Come join me at Managing Diabetes, new group starting up since this has become hard to follow

Stress will cause those pesky numbers to go up, way up. You had too much on your plate with your fiance being sick. I am still pretty new at this but have learned that stress does play havoc with those numbers.

u know atpeacemary come to think of it not only have i been under stress with him being in the hospital but where we live at is in an apt bldg for the disabled & elderly was on the elevator with this lady who supposed to be the coordinator for us and shes really rude & obnoxious she was on the elevator with me racking my nerves which i usually dont let ppl do that to me anymore but she just gets under my nerves and maybe that was a factor for stress as well but i never thought of it that way about the stress too thx for mentioning that

I'm stressed just thinking about eye exams. I get them faithfully, but I sure dread them.

I'm hoping everyone doesn't leave DS to go to other groups. The new format is different, but they are improving things. It would really be bizarre to not have a Type 2 support group here on DS.

Sorry to hear that happened, it would definitely freak me out. I hope things are better now at least!

If interested, give a below 4 steps a try. You loose nothing by trying but it may change your life. Don’t change your life style and the food you eat but simply follow the eating habit.

1. eat when you are hungry
2. don’t drink liquid 30 mins before and after and during the meal
3. chew the food 25 times or more.
4. stop eating the food after 1st Burp

Assessment: Measure your glucose one day and then follow the above 4 steps till next day and measure your glucose. You would see significant reduction in your glucose without any change in food. If you follow them for a month or two, it will keep improve your diabetic levels and most probably could able to cure type II diabetics gradually.

I encourage you to create your own list of likes/hobbies/or things you'd like to try. Here's a few of my things:Going to the beachTrying new restaurantsMaking lists/planning for the future Road...

    People who were alive during 9/11/2001 have a story of how the attacks on the USA impacted their lives. Feel free to share.....I graduated from law school on Sat, Sep 15, 2001 at age 24.  Many families did not attend the graduation ceremony because the airplanes were grounded.  I was a law clerk for a certain government agency for two years while in law school and was looking forward to a great...
