* do you feel still hungry after a good meal ? 

or

* do you feel thirsty even if you drink "enough" water ?

or

* do you feel the need to pee frequently

or

or do you  feel not energetic or not enough power  mostly even if you sleep and eat enough ?

or do you have excess weight ?



if any of the questions have the answer yes

I can guarantee that you have insuline disorder less or more..

so please have those tests done asap

blood sugar levels, insuline levels and hemoglobin a1c

you can live many years with this disorder if its not in an advanced state but will eat you day by day..

and worse than that will damage your eyes, kidneys , liver and heart..

In the UK, as we're a society of fat bastards, we get hammered with this info regularly anyway

I have diagnosed my father with insuline defficiency after an urgent call as he lives far from here..

as he eats very little portions and he is slim, no one expected he has this problem and also sugar level tests showed nothing until
we applied intranevous serum .. interestingly the blood sugar level was crazy even the next day

and to add that he refused to go any doctor and hospital .. 

so we had to call some medical people and do some thing at home

plus he refuses to eat now

Older grandmother died of diabetes, the other one has it, my father has it too..., yes I have most of those symptoms and I gain weight too (15kg ) after I quit smoking 5 months ago after 17 years, so now I only have one choice - should I start smoking again and die of lung cancer or should I wait for diabetes to get me?
At least it's some choice...

I'm a newly diagnosed diabetic type 2 and am starting to come to terms with it and the effects it's going to have on my life and family 

I'm a non smoker and non drinker, however my problem seems to be I eat the wrong things 

Guess I need to sort myself out asap 

[RobG]

Just be thankful you`re not an IDD Type 1

I eat shite. I smoked 30-40 a day for 35 years. At my peak, I was putting away huge amounts of beer and spirits.....most days. At 60 years old I would say I'm fitter than most.
Lucky.....or family history?

Are you sure?

At your darkest depths you mean.


Oh, and both.

I have had type 2 diabetes for the last 7 years, thankfully I have a very good GP who knows his stuff, yes I have had to make  changes in my diet but all in all it is not bad. The advice I got was be good 80% of the time & the other 20 % have what  ever you want!I have blood tests etc every six months & everything so far has been perfect.So if any of you are diagnosed with it don't worry too much, thankfully I have never smoked & don't drink  on a regular basis.

I discovered that I had a slightly raised insulin resistance some time ago. My GP stressed that I did not have have diabetes (though my brother has Type 2), but suggested some slight dietary changes, which I have since implemented.

Following a little research on my part, I have, for the last six months, been taking an Alpha Lipoic Acid tablet daily. I had my most recent fasting blood test a couple of months ago. I haven't heard anything from my GP practice and have been too busy to visit them to check the results ( ), but they have not called me and I feel fine.

I am NOT a medical practitioner. Nevertheless, it is suggested that Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-Form), does indeed help combat insulin resistance.

I post this merely for interest and NOT as advice. Consult your GP. 

Caution:  Those suffering from diabetes should consult a doctor prior to taking alpha-lipoic acid as it may enhance insulin activity.

I have to say I answered yes to all of the above questions. Diabetes does run in my fathers side of the family. He was on tablets for years and has now gone on to injections in the tummy area. What annoys me is he has never been overweight in the slightest.
But after starting the injections he has started to get a flabby tummy.

Myself I am overweight around the middle, I refuse to take any tablets. I have occasionaly used his machine for a blood test and I come out normal.

pancreas is a weird organ you can never estimate how it will behave.. but when you start injections it makes your tummy bigger
