Answer 4

Type 2 diabetes is ravishing the country because we are seeing more and more overweight people today versus 50 years ago. If your sister is overweight I suggest she diet and exercise to lose weight. She should continue to take the metformin unless her doctor gives her the "okay" to stop.

Metformin is not insulin. It is given to people with type 2 diabetes to help their bodies better use the insulin their pancreas produces. It is not a cure for diabetes.

Please tell your sister to take her medication exactly as it is prescribed and to check her blood sugar at least 4 times per day: when she gets up (fasting), and 1-2 hours after each meal. Record these on a sheet of paper (it would also help if she would write down everything that she eats each day) and take this information with her to the doctor the next time she has a visit. This will help the doctor help her.

Hi there,

FIRST THING STOP WORRYING!!!!

Yes if she is taking metformin hydrochloride, she is likely to be type 2 diabetic, however.. it is not curable at present, but it is managed very easily as long as she follows her doctors advice..

Main points to watch for :

1, Weight - is she heavy? If so, her Dr will want that to change.
2, Food - She will need to eat healthy, low cholesterol diet etc
3, Feet - Believe it or not be VERY carefull with feet as a diabetic, Diabetes can damage the nerves in the feet causing numbness, not a big problem in itself but can lead to infections from cuts not noticed.. in severe cases this can lead to amputation.. DONT TAKE CHANCES!
4, Eyes - your Dr will want her to go to a retinopathy clinic once a year for a painless test, its literally a digital pic of the retina, as this can be affected by Diabetes, but again is treatable if found early..
5, Heart - She will get her blood pressure checked more often as this can also be affected - again easily controlled if found early enough. Also her cholesterol will be monitored closely.

At the end of the day, if your sister listens to her Doctor, she will lead a very healty life with little or no problems at all..

Her Doctor will look after her! Dont worry..
Please E-mail if i can help any further.. (Can be done via profile)

Answer 8

Yes, it is type two... I have had it just over three years now and am also taking two 500 mg Metformin tabs per day. I'm doing fine. If by "CURABLE", you mean not having to take medication, absolutely possible. Easy? Not for most folks. People are doing it all the time, however. What they're not doing, though, is returning to the diet and sedentary lifestyle that got them there in the first place. They're eating healthier and exercising regularly. Many type twos enjoy a nearly normal life simply by eating a healthy vegetable based diet, with a few whole grains, some fish and chicken, and some fruits, combined with moderate daily exercise. We do have to avoid sugar, too many carbs, and excessive drinking. In fact, if you are on Metformin, you shouldn't drink any alcohol... it can be quite toxic.

Please don't worry. I always advise worry-warts to stop worrying and do something about it. Here's what you do... read my diabetes info page, tell sis about it, and relax... type two diabetes is not that big of a deal once you learn the ropes: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html

Oh, btw... you might be a candidate for type two also. If you take good care of yourself now, as I suggest here, you should not have to worry.

Answer 9

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 10

type 1 diabetes requires insulin injections several times a day. type 2 diabetes can be controlled by pills called hypoglycemics such as metformin and diet, weight loss and exercise. it must be controlled or terrible complications will occur. some people can even control type2 with just diet and exercise. Is there a cure for type 1 or type 2, no.
good luck to you and your sister

Answer 11

From the information you've provided, yes, your sister has type 2 diabetes. As to your question "is it curable?', I'm afraid the answer is No. Diabetes, whether type 1 or type 2, is not curable, only treatable. It is possible that she can control her type 2 diabetes with proper diet and exercise, at least for awhile. But, this is control and treatment, not a cure. The disease will not just "gop away". In addition to seeing a physician, she should consider seeing a registered dietitian, who could assist her in formlating a meal plan that would greatly help her in controlling her condition. Hope this helps!
