Its April and Its Time Again to Do My Diabetes Adocate Job

Tweet

Lol I am unpaid so I do this purely to help make people aware that there are thousands of us Americans who have type two diabetes and are not even aware of it. Im suggesting, imploring that when we go for checkups to always ad for a diabetes check up its painless and it lets you know if you do or d o not have diabetes. Pre diabetes people can often do a few things that move them from diabetes for life or at least for a few years. One thing we can all do and I wish I had known at the time, is to not ignore the middle age spread but lose it.Those extra pounds put fat cells in the path of insulin, stopping insulin from putting sugar into our muscle cells where it is needed for energy and just dumping it into our blood stream.That sugar in time will hurt our many organs. So if we can prevent any of you from becoming diabetic we will have helped some in the fight against diabetes. Now its no longer a death sentence if you find you have type two diabetes.We have many new meds and also one very good older med wlth few side effects Metformin. Many prediabetcs have been helped back to normal life by losing weight and eating properly and being on metformin for a while. Others have still become diabetics in later life but they like myself have learned you can be a diabetic and lead a happy f ll life. I was diagnosed at age 53 and now am 89 and in f ll control of my blood sugar. I lead a happy life by being in full control alw ys of my blood sugar.
