How do you personally treat your diabetes? or how does someone you know treat it?

Question

... with regard to medication, surgery, diet, exercise

Answer 1

I am eating what is on my list of things to eat, trying to lose weight , and am really trying to stay off insulin. I have a partial Kidney left because I've had Kidney cancer surgery, and have a Kidney function of around 40. I have been on Blood pressure meds for years, and am taking 3 Blood pressure meds .and Lasix. My Doctor wanted to put me on Insulin and I told him to give me 3 Months that was Mid May. So By Aug. my time will be up. and I will have a 3 Month test to see how I've been doing. I have succeeded in bringing my blood pressure down, and lost almost 15 lbs. As far a exercise, I do my house work, some work in the yard but do not do exercise as there is a very large area where muscles were cut to remove my kidney for surgery and this section tends to cramp, and swell, and cause a lot of pain when I do things like mow the lawn , rake, sweep, vacuuming. I consider those chores more important then exercise for myself., I need to be able to be a functioning, contributing member of my family, or I do not need to be here, I'm 60. not a young person, and do not intend to be a burden on my family.

Answer 4

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 5

Since I am one of those Type 1.5, I treat mine by isulin only. I have been on the insulin pump for 2 years and love it! When I was first diagnosed, my GP insisted that I was T2 and treated me as such with diet and orals to no avail. He thought that just because I was 40 years old I HAD to be T2. Finally after a year of soaring numbers and a 5 day trip to ICU due to DKA, he referred me to an endo who then gave me the proper diagnosis of T1 and needing agressive insulin therapy. I count carbs now in order to bolus the correct amount of insulin and try to keep my carb intake to a minimun (more just to save on my insulin supply).
