Diabetics [View all]

I am a diabetic, type two, and have been for over twenty years. I am not a doctor, so these are my own personal thoughts. With being a diabetic there is no one size fits all and each person, with the advice of their doctor, must find what works best for them. There is no real cure, just control. There are many medications, but most will say with proper DIET and EXERCISE you MAY lower your A1C. What you do is up to you. A glucose meter and frequent testing will tell if you are controlling your blood sugar levels or not. Have a primary care doctor administer A1C tests on a regular schedule. High sugar levels can, and in time, will damage your body beyond repair. One last thought, if you have family history of diabetes, have your doctor check for prediabetes. If you get the jump on this condition early it will pay off in the long run. I did not and now I regret it.
