Check your sugars when fatigue happens. That can be a sign of high sugars. It will also let you know that what you ate was to high in carbs
Recently I caught a head cold and it also came with coughing
(chest congestion). I realized I had nothing for my cold 🥺
I went to Amazon and found Diabetic Tussin (never tried it)
I got Buckley's a medicine that I swear it actually scares you cold away.
I used it on the children ( they are now all adults) when they were younger; tasted it once 🥺.
I was raised on Father Johns medicine, my mother had us six children lined up to take medicine. If one of her children got a cold we all needed to… read more
Thanks so much I was able to get some Mucinex from the pharmacy and I have some Buckley's and Buckley's lozenges. So I now have some updated medicine for them just in case time. I will go to Walgreens… read more
I recently had a hysterectomy operation and the wound got a whole and the journey with being diabetic and healing is tough .. and alone
I have been told that after having this surgery I would no longer have to treat my diabetes. However I am wondering if I would be trading one set of problems for another. Since I have a weight problem being approved is not a problem, but I prefer to do things as naturally as possible. Some insight would be helpful and appreciated.

There seems to be a great misconception out there that the "treatment used" is how the Type of Diabetes is determined
Insulin is a treatment for Diabetics, ALL Diabetics IF they NEED it
Type 1 Diabetics have an auto-immune disease that "within days" destroys their own ability to produce insulin - without insulin they will die within a week or two
They (Type 1's) need insulin from minute one of diagnosis and currently there is not other treatment to help keep them alive

@A DiabetesTeam Member. geeez. So sorry
All of us here have either been diagnosed with Diabetes or have someone close to us that have been given the news
So what is the "criteria" that separates us from Joe or Jane SugerEater?
Currently it is simply having an A1C, above 6.5% (47.5 mmol's in the IFCC scale) "twice in a row" measured 90 days apart
That's it, that's all - that "test" is all that is required for the Doc to determine "You have Diabetes"
No matter what you do after that, no matter how you control your blood sugar - no… read more
