I came to know about my high sugar levels only when my brother took me to a doctor for consultations. At that time my age was 52. May be, I had this problem even earlier but that didn't come to my notice before I was 52.

Thanks Bijal, It is often the way that people have suffered for months or years before discovering the reasons for their symptoms. At least now you are in a position to fight it.

I came to know about my diabetic problem at the age of 58 when during a routine Lipid Profile,the results were high. Based on these observation my doctor suggested Blood Test while fasting and after meal. That's when high sugar level was detected. However, with medication, and change in food/drink habits, and regular morning walks (of about 8km), my sugar level is well in control and within the prescribed limits. I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO ALL TO PLEASE CHANGE YOUR LIFE STYLE, EATING HABBITS, STOP ALCOHAL INTAKES AND SMOKING AND DO REGULAR EXCERSIS LIKE MORNING WALKS, TREAD MILL ETC. AND STRICT FOLLOW UP OF MEDICATION WILL DEFINATELY HAVE POSITIVE RESULTS AND THE SUGAR LEVEL WILL BE UNDER CONTROL. ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE

It was in the year 2007 when I was at the age of 56, my family doctor advised me to check the blood sugar level. Only then I came to know my blood sugar level was at 345(fasting)

Now it is being checked on a regular basis. But suddenly in Nov 2012 it was at 206(fasting), and 380(PP).Since then I am under the treatment of a diabetician. Earlier(before Nov 2012) I was taking only a Dianil tablet daily with some neem leaf in empty stomach.

I hope I can manage the sugar level as per doctor's medicine. Having controlled the level(type 2) I will go for homeopathic treatment. At the same time I practice YOGA to keep my health fit. During these period I have experienced that since it is heriditiary I cant avoid it.

If anybody can extend their valuable advice, it will be helpful for all of us.

Hi! I am sorry to hear this.Please dont worry,this is life long part of her life now. You have to help her understand that instead of medicine she has to take injections and live happily.Please let her eat everything in moderation.Once she knows she can lead a normal life nothing is prohibited her acceptance would be easy.Just go for walk or some physical activity is amust, focus only on making her life happy and independent.that is what my mom did for me.She trusted me so I had faith on myself.You can speak to her if u want. regards.

kcherry, Am sorry for your daughter. I was also diagnosed at the age of 7 in 1996. Now am 23 year old, working for a PSU and I am on Insulin Pump since 2009. Remember kcherry she can eat anything ( i mean even sugar) only when she cover with a insulin shot. she can have a normal life like others. The first thing i learned at the age of 7 was never to hide that you are a diabetic. I am not ashamed of it. Teach her to face the world. Be her strength.
