Type 2 Diabetics that would like to take a shot at remission now have access to a Program - Doctor run and paid by provincial medicare if you live in B.C., Alberta or Ontario

(it was piloted in B.C. for the past couple of years, Alberta must have recently jumped on board and Ontario just started advertising it "today")

Much of the program is online (live/interactive video), but you are also paired with a local doctor who can facilitate the labs etc

Might be worth a look if you are interested

Don't want to live with diabetez 2 for the rest of my life.

The other day I was watching some show, characters were all excited when one said “Slow Down – you need to manage your expectations”.

The day we get our Diagnosis our Life changes Forever.

I see many who seem to think their next 10, 20 or 30 years have gone down the drain now that they are “Diabetic”.

Whether we choose to ignore it, jump right in with both feet or settle somewhere in the middle Diabetes will be with us for the rest of our days… read more

I'm DT1. I'm in hyperglycemia a lot when it's very hot and humid... Do you also experience this? How do you deal with it?

Over the past couple of weeks I have read a number of posts where people are hesitant to take a diabetes medication that was prescribed because they read of the potential side effects and are somewhere between uncomfortable or outright afraid

Your concerns are valid and you should discuss them with your doctor but you should also know that the Doc didn't "just decide because" when they wrote the script and it was in response to your blood work that showed you "need" the meds to manage your… read more

Apart from anything else it’s too vague and woolly a statement to have any meaning.

I got Cervical Myelopathy in 2002 and was told by the neurologist that I’d “be in a wheelchair in two years”. Now if I wasn’t so resilient I might have given up at that moment and resigned myself to my fate. Instead I lost 3 stone (42lbs) to bring me back to the normal weight category. I also walk a lot and go to the gym where the back extension machine keeps my spine in good shape.

It’s not that I’m saying… read more

Has anyone had problems with their throat and mouth while taking Janumet . I would get this ball of phlegm in my throat, and my teeth would ache and now sometimes my mouth will become very very dry and I would get a tin taste or a burning feeling in my mouth.

While both have ultimately the same effect/symptoms:

Memory Loss

Difficulty with problem-solving

Confusion/thinking problems; and,

Problems with language usage

The causes of each are quite different

Alzheimer’s is mostly due to aging and changes in brain chemistry – there is little we can do about getting old

Diabetics are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s (38% more likely then Joe/Jane average) however, it is Diabetes Dementia that is more likely to set in
