If I offended you in any way I'm sorry. I was just further explaining my situation. I'm in my 20's (discovered it at it's early stages) and diabetes does not run in my family so I'm very hopeful that I can win this battle.
You haven't told us any of your numbers, Mel, but your doc is pulling out some pretty big guns for this battle, and my guess is she is being aggressive about
CONTROLLING it, because there
IS no cure. It isn't going to disappear, but with proper eating habits & meds, you can send it into hiding & eliminate a lot of the risks associated with it. I just wouldn't want you expecting that you can go back to high-octane colas, Krispy Kremes or whatever your particular favorites might be. You have a metabolic disorder - your body doesn't process carbs like it should, and as it turns out, it's a permanent malfunction.
Regardless of your doc's opinion, it would be good if you got a meter & began to get involved in this. You're on some hot new meds & if I were you, I'd want to know what effect they're having on my body. Some of them are capable of causing
LOW blood sugar, and if you began showing signs of
THAT, you'd sure as heck want a meter handy so you could test & treat it if it were too low. Just sayin' . . .
