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...
Meow,
My fasting @ 7am today was 109.
After I ate my 15mg of Prednisone w/Breakfast it rose to 241, but that can't be helped right now. Hoping to reduce the drug soon.
At least I'm under 250. I put off insulin as long as I could, but now (hindsight) I wish I'd started it sooner. I also hope to lose one of the shots in the near future. I take 2, Novolog-6 & Levemir-12..
I'm gonna remember that 109 reading every time I inject from now on.
The good thing of being a diabetic for me, is I don't overstuff my stomach. My meals are healthier and I feel nourished on less. Also, I'm more organized.
Has anyone else seen anything good from being a diabetic???

I'm sorry I had to get so sick in order to get better....lol.
To boot....I quit smoking 2 years ago on April 15th :)
I've abused my body for decades.....it's a wonder my body held out for so long. I'm finally on track and happy about it.
I live one day at a time and some what healthier than others.
