BOLSTER 808 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Type 2 Diabetes normally comes on late 30s & up wards , its caused through not looking after your diet through life , basically your pancreas has been working over time producing insulin all the time because of the bad diet , to much sugar/bad Carbs, Alcohol , bit like a engine getting rallied all over the place blows up eventually . certain organs need to rest now & then . iv been type 1 since a child & gone through all types of insulin over the years, got it all sorted now though .

BOLSTER 808 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Porridge releases the Carbs slowly same as mushy peas , not like bread pasta & all the other shite like Sugar blah blah, you need some more units of insulin then mate , how long you had Diabetes ?

Gaj1612 99 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Ah right. Gonna have to get some porridge in then haha Yeah just had some now haha Umm about 18 years but if you were to look at my sugars you'd swear I've just been diagnosed. They're all over the place How about you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BOLSTER 808 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Your levels will still go up with porridge but slower , anything that has Carbs or sugar needs insulin with it to stop the sugars rising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaj1612 99 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah mate I'm on insulin. Try to look after my self do go off the rails every once in a while but not massively. Just seems that whatever I do it's still all over the place. Haven't long changed doctors so hopefully they'll suggest something different to try Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 3,086 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 You should drop your levels at a steady pace as dropping them to quick can affect your eye sight Like you derby lad I lost a lot of weight when first disgonse , and that's what's caused my eye sight problems ......

johnny boy68 11,725 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 When I found out I had it it used to really get me down, started on metformin but now I control it with diet, when you get that balance right its quite easy to manage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My dads had it for 25 yrs & he has just started on metformin , prior to that he controlled it with diet & exercise , so far he hasnt had any of the allied conditions diabetes seems to go hand in hand with ,nice to hear you manage yours with your diet Johnny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Suppose we're all different.. My nan lived the last 25-30 years of her life with t2 and while she did make certain sacrifices like switching to artificial sweetners in her tea, switiching to diet pop and having a banana on her morning toast instead of marmalade, she could never resist something like a nice bit of cake and used to eat far too much of what was supposed to be bad for her. Used to get told to 'piss off' or have the v's flicked at me when I used to tell her off! :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
