Got diagnosed with type two diabetes brehs

[The ADD]

Contrary to popular belief, fats are good for you
Carbs is what fukks you up.


Type 1 is not reversible, it's genetic and cannot be changed unless you alter your genome. Which is currently impossible.

Let’s be reality. Over consumption of carbs relative use is the primary problem. Not carbs as a stand-alone.

Gotta stop demonizing foods

Not a death sentence so diet, exercise,take your meds and live your best life! Do that shyt man!

 

[ORDER_66]

How you doing OP how's your diet going???

 

[TripleAgent]

Never understood why it's so hard for people to not eat sweets and not drink soda and sugary juices

Sugar is the most addictive substance on Earth. It's also intentionally put into most if not all processed foods in some form to keep you hooked. You'd be surprised.

You can beat that shyt. Hopefully you bumping this thread with your diagnosis encourages a member here to change diet and lifestyle BEFORE he gets the same diagnosis.
Not a lot of things in life we have complete control of, but how we take care of our bodies is one of them.

Definitely go for follow up or second opinion checkup, but I don't think diagnosis is a scam. The scam is the prescriptions they may put your on for the rest of your life.

If you have a desk job, and a sedentary lifestyle, you can make minor changes that will have positive effect on health..like taking stairs to go to work and lunch.....and carving out one hour each week to go for a continuous walk.

good luck whatever the follow up test says.

Yeah I hit up the gym and lift weights and do cardio at least 3 times a week. My weight gain has been occurring in the last year and a half of having a desk job but I do hit up the gym. Yeah hard part is the mental part. I don't mind eating healthier but I have to cut down the bad stuff and not just eliminate and revamp my whole diet. Can't go from eating meat to salads and veggies only all of a sudden. Body don't work that way.

Never understood why it's so hard for people to not eat sweets and not drink soda and sugary juices

I rarely drink soda or sugary juices. I would say that 90% of what I drink is water and then coffee in the morning but 1 cup. But its not just sugar, carbs are just as bad. Bread, chips, rice, starches, etc. I ate that new impossible whopper last night, had to get two cuz i was starving, and I ate it without the bread. Thats how much bread affects sugar.

I legit get this every now and then for no reason. Not a bruise or tight muscle. Just like a random kind of pain that sits on the outside of my right leg. I do eat a lot of ducking bread and drank pop a lot till acouple years ago.

Got me scared. My dad just got diagnosed as pre diabetic. But it really doesn’t run in my family at all.

Your Vitamin D might be low. But even still, start eating healthier now so you can avoid any more complications. Cut back slowly and make some changes.

Yeah I need to start taking my vitamins again. I go through stages. I’ve always been active. Need to start doing cardio since I stopped kickboxing a couple months ago though. I think I’m going to do keto for a month or so and see how I feel.

I'm trying not to become diabetic. What was yo symptoms?

I'm trying not to become diabetic. What was yo symptoms?

Who me? Not a damn one other than hereditary.

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes due to high blood sugar may include:

• Increased thirst
• Increased hunger(especially after eating)
• Dry mouth
• Frequent urination
• Unexplained weight loss (even though you are eating and feel hungry)
• Fatigue (weak, tired feeling)
• Blurred vision
• Headaches
• Loss of consciousness (rare)

I even gained weight instead of lost it. Who knows how long I even had this shyt cuz I felt as a guy there was no need to go see a damn doctor if i felt fine. I bet theres others out there that have it and don't know it. This pain in my leg having been ignored would've kept it going without me ever finding out.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

I need to slow down on the sugar. I eat too much sugar specifically candy, ice cream and constant ice tea/Tropicana orange juice and soda.

I still drink a lot of juice but I’m trying to substitute that sugar with fruits and drink only water and drink sweet drinks when I go out to eat.

My dad is 78 and has no diabetes (but has cancer) so hopefully I don’t get diabetes early.

 

[ultraflexed]

That's it, I'm going keto

[Sad Bunny]

Wow. Are

Been one for 23 years now...

Gift and curse but, ultimately, you now know and can take care of yourself.

Good luck, breh. It's not that bad.

Are you OK now?

my cousin got diagnosed and is freaking out.

It’s been over 3 years, how have you adjusted?

Sometimes you can do everything right but still get fukked over by bum genetics

I'm not diabetic, but I got diagnosed with high blood pressure when I was in my late 20s and I've always been on the thin side, I'm like 5'9 160ish.
