Business man1 If you provide further details on your consultation with your doctor it would help narrow down what you need to do next. Under normal circumstances doctors do not "mentioned like i am having diabetes." unless he/she has test results to back up their statement. Please answer the following questions in detail: 1.) Did you or did you not undertake a glucose [blood sugar] tolerance test? 1b.) A fasting glucose test? 1c.) An A1c test?

3178662 tn?1346489696 Currently there is no cure for diabetes. In its early stages some people have been found to reverse their diabetes back to normal levels. This takes lifestyle changes one must follow and adhere to for the rest of their life. Doing so one will be able to control and manage their blood sugar levels appropriately.
Avatar n tn Has anyone been diagnosed with MODY 2 diabetes? My son has this and it is very rare so I am trying to find others who may have this so that we can learn from each other. Thanks.
Avatar m tn , to me the vast majority of doctors, even in the USA, know so little about this horrible malady called Diabetes 2. What they studied at school was 30-50 years old infos about diabetes 2.That is the main reason why treatment to diabetes 2 is not so succesful, not so effective, sadly. Is this common : Doctors prescribe diabetes medication but almost always to forget tell their diabetes 2 patients to be careful to what foods they eat? and to what drinks...
Avatar n tn Can celiac disease can cause type 1 diabetes in some people? Particularly children under the age of 12. Should diabetic children be screened regularly for this?? thanks.

Avatar n tn Here in Philippines bitter melon is a popular folk treatment for diabetes. However, it doesn't cure and if your diabetes is already bad it won't help much. It also doesn't replace the need for diet, exercise, and regular meds.... but then anything that helps stabilise blood sugar would be helpful. Yes you're right, ti doesnt work if you take sugar or junk foods.

225237 tn?1333138999 Don't smoke, well done on your diet. If you get down to your ideal body weight your diabetes may "go away". Most new cases of Diabetes in the USA are related to our sedentary lifestyle and epidemic of obesity.
Avatar m tn Is your doctor in NZ? If so, ask him/her. In the USA diabetes medication has to be prescribed not sold over the counter.
194838 tn?1303428544 "It may sound stupid but I am a little scared to take Galvus after what happened before." Nope, not stupid at all. Pretty sane to me and I can't blame you for asking. I would. Hopefully someone outside the USA will come along and provide you with some feedback. But don't keep your hopes up to long as Galvus is relatively a new player in Europe.
Avatar n tn t know anything about obtaining financial help with test strips in countries other than the USA, but here in the USA the company that makes the FreeStyle strips has a program that provides FreeStyle strips and lancets (and a meter) free of charge if a person meets all of the income requirements. Maybe if you contact them they can let you know if any help is available in your country.
Avatar m tn Hey everyone, So I've had issues with my eyes since I was about 14 (I'm now 18, 19 in December). Around 3 months ago I had a check up with my optician after 1 year, she prescribed me some new lenses and everything was ok for about a week or so. After that week I started getting blurred vision in my right eye again and pain as if someone is pushing on my eye. I'm deeply worried as my family has a history of glaucoma and diabetes (I believe both can cause the loss of vision?).
Avatar n tn I have diabetes, but i have no clue what are the range levels. What numbers are high,normal and low can you please help me with this.
Avatar n tn Its me again..doing much better in terms of coping with the D, although my a1c has gone up(8.1) just glad it wasn't worse. Resolved to work harder on my diabetes this next year( funny how that is always a resolution of mine, come Jan.1!) Will complete Cozmo training next week- really looking forward to it!
Avatar n tn I hope this will help you, we all have over charging doctors in the USA and I am fixing to fire my own.
Avatar f tn I think it may have something to do with fibrosis and/or diabetes. I'm just giving you a quick glance guess and an article to read. You can Google it or go to pubmed, I'm sure someone will chime in later with a better answer. God Bless "Diabetic mastopathy," or sclerosing lymphocytic lobulitis, is strongly associated with type 1 diabetes. Kudva YC, Reynolds C, O'Brien T, Powell C, Oberg AL, Crotty TB.
Avatar m tn What it means is that insulin and thyroglobulin tend to elevate each other and someone who has both thyroid issues and diabetes has a hard job on their hands of regulating and maintaining levels. If BSL are up, then so too will thyroglobulin levels be elevated too. Hope that answers your question.
