Diabetes has finally come for me.

Given my family's history I knew this day would come but all things considering, getting at age 33 isn't so bad (I think.) Earlier this month I felt as though something wasn't right with my body, I felt sick but not sick like a cold. Today I was confirmed by the doctor that I do in fact have T2 dia

I was able to put diabetes in remission.

The key was the understanding that:

  1. carbohydrates in all forms (sugar, oatmeal, rice, sweet fruits) raise blood sugar.

The simple answer is if you are a type 2 and you moderate your carb intake you will moderate your sugar numbers downwards.

  1. exercise also moderates blood sugar downwards

  2. higher insulin resistance leads to higher more sustained blood sugar spikes, and if you can aggressively tackle insulin resistance for 3 - 6 months, it can be life changing!

I would have a fasting blood sugar level of over 409 mgdl. My hba1c is now fine. So this knowledge does make a difference...

I'm genetically susceptible to T2 (gene test). Diet and exercise had minimal impact on my BG levels but Metformin has a massive impact. Sometimes, there's only so much you can do and you just have to take the pills and pray.
