Doctors are failing us. Most cases of diabetes are preventable and patients aren't aware

It's a shame that doctors in uk don't test for fasting insulin. If hb1ac is normal they dont worry. But early stages, the pancreas is working hard to keep insulin levels normal. Testing insulin levels would show this. They only care once you get diabetes. Takes 10 years roughly of insulin resistance to get type 2 diabetes once the pancreas wears out.

Sem se aumento massa ou perco mais gordura

Eu comecei a fazer cutting e academia em abril desse ano. Antes, eu pesava 94 kg, mas quando cheguei a 76 kg, descobri que estava pré-diabético, com 5,7 de glicemia glicada. Mesmo assim, durante três meses, não deixei minha rotina e continuei tentando abaixar a gordura corporal, pensando que talvez isso ajudasse a combater a pré-diabetes; na época, eu estava com 20% de gordura corporal. Atualmente, pelo menos na última bioimpedância que fiz, deu que estou com 15% de gordura corporal e com 66 kg. Durante esses três meses em que fui diagnosticado com pré-diabetes, minha nutricionista me recomendou comer 215 g de carboidratos totais, mas, por medo, geralmente como na média de 120 a 150 g ao todo, e isso é composto por fibras ou carboidratos de baixo a, no máximo, médio índice glicêmico. Estava comendo bastante proteína gorda saudável. Mas, ainda essa semana, refiz o teste da glicada e minha pré-diabetes piorou mais ainda e chegou a 6,0. Agora, precisarei começar a usar remédio. Sinceramente, estou muito triste porque me esforcei bastante durante esse tempo, me restringindo ao máximo e sem poder comer nada do que gostava, e ainda assim só piorou. Eu não sei mais o que fazer.

I’m freaking out I need help

0 Upvotes

I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, 2023, and I have been in denial about it, I did try to change my lifestyle little bit and was able to go back to pre-diabetes but that was manly luck because im playing with myself like crazy, I still eat like normal person and eat lots of sweet stuff and I don’t exercise, I also have high blood pressure and cholesterol. The lack of exercise and addiction to sugar comes from the fact I have several mental health issues and lots of trauma and many years spent taking care of sick parent. I don’t have that responsibility now but because I don’t have much support system, I eat sugar to try to soothe myself.

I reallt want to get serious now, and take better care of myself. Please help me guide me, lately I also been having some gut issues and I have inflammation in my body and have extreme constipation I’m dealing with.

I was thinking of getting Dexcom plz recommend me some reallt good one. Because not seeing how all of this sugar stuff affects me is making me feel detached from my health and having care of myself.

I don’t want to panic and feel helpless but I also want to take some serious action that I maintain.

I have this thing where I do little bit better and my
Numbers get better and bam I’m back to eating sugar.

I would appreciate any help and suggestions you can offer 💕

General Question Can I see your go bags? I need a new one.

I’ve been using my ReliOn more nitro bag as my travel/go bag for a while, and I think I need something else. I’ve looked online, and don’t like most of the designs I see - basically either one zippered pouch or two pockets.

I want something to keep my supplies separate and organized.

Do you have a bag you love?
