Some people are able to control Type 2 diabetes with losing and maintaining healthy weight, lowering carb intake and regular exercise. Some are not, and need medication. It is impossible to answer your question because every diabetic is different and it would depend on how high your numbers were to begin with and what you ate and did. Serious consequences (complications) from diabetes don't occur in 24 hours, they occur over time spent at high numbers.
I didn't get results she showed me on the computer it was a herpes simplex select it said positive for type 1 but equivocal for type 2 twice !! I blisters every 3 months which turn to ulcers that's why I fort it was genital herpes in the mouth for how aggressive it was the first time it came up as I was sick had flu and nodes under chin were swollen .
I remember hearing that years ago. I have heard every single example of genetics with diabetes of both types from the skipped generation to "nobody in my family" to parents, to siblings, etc. I think genetics and diabetes is complex. I absolutely would not be confident that the children won't get diabetes. Type 2 diabetes which previously affected only middle aged people has become much more common in overweight youth.
Although there's no cure for type 2 diabetes, studies show it's possible for some people to reverse it. Through diet changes and weight loss, you may be able to reach and hold normal blood sugar levels without medication.
This doesn't mean you're completely cured. Type 2 diabetes is an ongoing disease.
I know I am insulin dependent because I cannot take my pump off except for the rare few minutes or so without my sugar sky rocketing. Now would u still call this Type 2 Diabetes or Type 1? Hearing the words Juvenile Diabetes associated with Type 1 throws me off obviously because I was not diagnosed as a juvenile. But also the words Insulin Dependent are associated with the Type 1. So I DO fit into that category.
I had type 2 diabetes before I got pregnant. I'm 8 weeks and I inject insulin twice a day. They said if I don't control my levels my baby will be too overweight . any suggestions besides eating right and exercising? Is anyone else experiencing this?
CLBear,
You might enjoy a diabetes discussion board that's got topics for Type 2s and Type 1s and for the stuff we share.
