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...
I think there are a few on the Board that can offer you some advice.
Exercise and very little carbs reduced all my numbers.Not medication that my doctor kept insisting on.
Sadly again "worldly problems got my diet off track and my numbers are higher.
For blood sugar control low glycemic foods and portion control works. But it is important to have them and not starve yourself. Cuz if you dont eat, the insulin would not work.
Take it from me.. I'm 40 and just had a heart attack a week ago. If you experience panic attacks or high levels of anxiety you need to talk to your doctor about it. There are medications you can take if needed.
Don't exercise if you're not feeling right and your chest hurts. I know this was posted earlier this month but for anyone reading this.. No matter your age.. If you're a woman you need to know our heart attack symptoms can be totally different.
I hope you're feeling better now, hope you've seen your doctor and hope you've gotten your numbers down.
