Hi I'm Angel and I'm a Diabetic. Two months ago my life changed abruptly my suspicions were confirmed, I have type 2 diabetes mellitus. A couple weeks before the diagnosis on a whim I had my friend test my glucose. Her monitor flashed 407. I felt fine other than the extreme thirst and fuzziness in my head. The fuzziness that I've felt for months.
I automatically gave up eating all sugar and all starchy foods. The next thing I did was purchase a meter because I needed to monitor my progress. I was still consistently having high glucose readings even though I had eliminated Alot from my diet. I was scared and I still am.
I sought help because I can't do this without a Dr. On 4/25 I swallowed my first dose of the anti-diabetic medicine Metaforim. It took medicine and eliminating carbs along with sugar and starchy foods. I've lost weight and I'm 9 # from the ideal weight for my height.
My friend on the other hand who had the Type 2 diagnosis, yes I said HAD. Continued to eat carbs and gained weight, her diabetes medication is being eliminated. The Dr don't think she has diabetes. I know elevated cholesterol will cause the glucose to raise but what the fuck?
She was advised to stay sugarfree for weightloss. I just don't get it! I barely eat anything in the no no group of food, take my medicine and I'm losing weight but my glucose remains above normal?
I still follow my Drs advice because I know my diagnosis isn't changing anytime soon. It's not fair.
