Am I diabetic
Are there any statistics on the likelihood of a 65 yo male with a BMI of 40 having type 2 diabetes? That describes me but my docs are certain (using only HbA1c) that I don't have diabetes. I have a lot of symptoms which tend to suggest I do but they are just dismissing me as a worrier. My HbA1c reading

Introducing Myself
Hi, a good friend recommended this site to me as I’m struggling with my weight, type 2 diabetes and more recently dangerously high blood sugar despite medication. Up to the start of the pandemic I had just about reversed the diabetes, had started to lose weight via a low GI/GL diet and intermittent fasting

L-Tryptophan supplements to aid sleep issues
My husband DX'd in 2017, had been taking 10 mg of melatonin, mainly to help with startling outbursts while sleeping (mostly yelling, strong jerking motions). He hit me on the head once thinking he was playing volleyball. It got so bad, we bought a king sized bed and I started putting a long body pillow

I’m new here amd confused!
I was diagnosed type2 diabetes last September and advised to reduce carbs. I’ve bought an Apple Watch and try to use my fitness pal to help. I’ve steadily increased my walking to 10000 steps daily and my calorie intake to around 12,00 , I am 4’11.5 inches . The low carb diets seems to be high fat and

Mentally Stressed
How does one deal with the mental stress that comes with diabetes? I am stressed about it 24x7 which is again not good for blood sugar levels.

Question on Diabetes/Non-Diabetes Hyperglycemia
Hi. I have a quick question for the community... What's the difference between non-Diabetic Hyperglycemia and pre-Diabetes? I think the last blood test that tells your levels over the last three months was 46 (sorry, can't remember measurement maybe mmol) but the one that is on the cusp of being in

Lungs, Lycra and Me
Had covid last year, Left my lungs in tatters and from there it was far too easy leap into a huge weight gain, type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver. Decided to try C25k cos I could not stand myself any more. I started 2 months ago after research and finding slow running. Even that was rough, I had to pause

Morning glucose reading
Good morning I have type 2 diabetes can someone tell me what my readings should be in the morning? My GP said under 11 then another doctor told me about 8. Most days I am under 10 on waking up, I go to bed with readings of 6 and wake to 8-9 why do they raise at night? I use a glucomem metre

Diabetes Type 2, PD and Berberine
Diabetes is a common disease that affects many Americans and 90 to 95% of diabetics have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). I will be discussing T2DM and one option to help deal with it effectively based on multiple studies. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is significantly less common so I will focus this discussion

Blood test came back negative stool sample positive
Hi everyone So I had so tests done to see what was going on with stomach and bowel issues. My bloods all came back fine but my stool said Coeliac disease was present. I have to wait 4 weeks and do another test before they will refer me to gastroenterology. My brother has Coeliac and has had it since

Is there a link between low HDL cholesterol and low vitamin D?
Hello everyone, I recently had some blood test done (quite a few!) and the most of the results were fine but my HDL and 25-hyroxyl vitamin D were low. I've been supplementing with Vitamin D3&K2 for almost a year, and after initially rising from 8 to around 40, it hasn't improved. I still have fatigue
