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.
Diabetes is caused by your bloods cells a/b
There is no cure by losing weight
Cant be done
What food is safe to eat that won't effect me and what food is not good to eat

how do I keep my reading below 10. the day that I dont eat much my reading comes close to 10. I am exercising and doing parkruns. I am taking metfomin 1000mg now 3 times a day.
I'm having such a hard time too, my morning readings are in the 100's but my after meal readings are horrific, trying a nutritionist soon
I have been enjoying life meaning eating everything mostly on weekends. i just started after a month taking my blood sugar level and t was about 225. that put me in a watch mode.

Or my sugar was too high and it takes time for it to level off.
An just to add - Don't wait to get to the doctor and get on some meds. I went undiagnosed for years until I went to the doctor for tingling/burning in my feet. I now struggle with neuropathy… read more
Witch hazel wipes. Pharmacy section. I use them for grumpy hemorrhoids and any lady irritations.

I took the Actrapid and got very sick last week. I can't just go to the hospital if I have no appointment date. I went to the pharmacy to ask about it, and the lady were reluctant to help and said I should go back to the hospital. I still have Actraphane that I continue taking, but it will run out soon. Nor sure what to do 😏
Thank you all for the hugs, I feel loved.☺️
