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 Everyone,
Well, I let my husband talk me into at least going in and talking to the doctor. So I took myself off all medication on October 7th and brought my numbers down by alot. We discussed all of my "Why, I did it's."
Then agreed to try Byetta. Mainly because of the timing of when my numbers were going up and when they were coming down. LOL! My body isnt the average type2. At the same time.. I'm not a type1.
I'm an oddball! :P At least we agreed that with the work that I am doing with diet and exercise that I could come off Byetta probably in 6 months or less. I might be able to totally control on my own from there.
He said that eating lean meats and counting carbs/watching calories is really the way to go.
Thankyou all for your hugs and prayers. Your encouragement and care has sent me out to "try again."
