Treatments and Diabetes
Posted on May 04, 2018
Diabetes treatment options can seem overwhelming at first. There are many ways to reduce your blood sugar and improve your A1C numbers.
On DiabetesTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with type 2 diabetes, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Treatment is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.
Here are some conversations about treatment:
- Went with my husband to treatment planning session.
- I recently changed my treatments and my blood is looking good.
- Which device do you think is most important to start first, an insulin pump or a CGM?
Here are some question and answer threads about treatments:
- Has anyone had problems with weight gain on insulin?
- Is anyone insulin resistant? What to do?
- How do you assess your level of treatment?
Can you relate?
