"Type 2 here, diagnosed in June last year. Made lifestyle changes and have lost weight and brought my Hb1ac back to pre-diabetic levels. Still work in progress! My aim is to not go on medication, ever if I can help it! It hasn’t affected my sex life but I think it is different for women. " It is more likely to cause problems for men. Persistently raised blood glucose levels will cause erectile dysfunction. | |||

"It was our bad lifestyle that’s done it (type 2)" if it was just the lifestyle (I guess you mean bad diet), most of the population would be diabetic. You still need "help" from your genetics. | |||

"I was pre diabetic until I went in for blood test then went over "the line" I wish my doctor had informed me more ." I guess they don't want to "overwhelm" us with information. My diabetic nurse, when I asked to be referred to Desmond, she acted all "yes, no problem, will do" only to send me the message, via NHS app, that she'd refer me after my annual review that was due in December (that appointment was in September, a month after diagnosis). That was not good enough for me as I needed that information, and help, asap, not 4 months after the diagnosis. I did the self referral, also joined Diabetes UK website, and managed to take my blood sugar down to 40. So do a lot of research yourself, refer yourself to Desmond (it's training for people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes) and learn your body's signs for issues with blood sugars. Losing weight helps, too, if your BMI is high. | |||

"I’m type 2 always been very active and fit never overweight etc so complete shock to me . Like people say eat fresh prepared food etc easy to say with cost of living too .

We walk and love it, however it's very time consuming. | |||

"About 5 years ago, I was diagnosed as being close to "pre-diabetic". I told the nurse about the "pre-pre-diabetic" term I'd heard on TV, and the whole surgery has been using it ever since! Anyway, as you can see on the photos and videos, I'm a big ol' bird, and always have been - aside from being hit by a bus a few years ago, I've always been healthy. I was advised to eat less sweets (obviously, but I have switched to 'sugar free' ones), cut back on chocolate and watch for 'hidden' sugars in ready-meals, which I do anyway. I also threw myself into eating fruit every day, which has really reawakened my interest in it. To cut to the chase: I am no longer pre-pre diabetic, and feel a lot better for it. Still built for comfort, but feeling healthier. My brother was diagnosed with type-2 Diabetes about 4 years ago, but was able to almost miraculously reverse the condition and rid himself of it through a total change in diet/lifestyle." Be careful with fruit as not all is good for your blood sugar. And be mindful of portion control, too. | |||

"Be careful with fruit as not all is good for your blood sugar. And be mindful of portion control, too. " Thanks! I've become a master (or is it mistress?) of fruit through sheer necessity, and have even come to like the previously-dreaded blueberries! | |||

"3 days a go i was told I was prediabetic not sure what I can eat or not eat seams like everything I was eating was wrong " There's lot's of advice available. I'd recommend trying the Diabetes UK website for advice. Also look up Low Gi diet. But in a nutshell to really simplify things. Carbs bad. Protein good. Stop drinking fizzy (if you do), booze, bread,potatoes, chocolate.... Hidden sugar is what really gets you, do some research on how many equivalent to cubes of sugar in a slice of white bread. How much is in a tropicana orange juice  .

"3 days a go i was told I was prediabetic not sure what I can eat or not eat seams like everything I was eating was wrong " 1) look at what you eat in the morning; if it's cereal, have a look if there is any added sugar plus check your portion. Bulk it up with fruit (berries work best; avoid ripe bananas) 2) make sure you eat all your meals, try not to snack in between. 3) divide your plate: 1/4 carbs, 1/4 protein (lean preferably), 1/2 vegetable 4) learn to read food labels- and I'd say avoid "low fat" anything as that's where fat is being replaced by sugars. Eat complex carbs, avoid white bread. Definitely do go to Diabetes UK website, it has tons of information there. Plus up your exercise, if you can. Now the stress is more on strength building exercises than cardio (at least that's what my diabetes nurse told me). | |||

"We don’t have it ourselves, but know people that do, have also lost a close friend from type 2. Someone at work is on a trial drug for it atm, apparently it works amazingly, he tested it by having a (controlled) food blowout, then tested his blood a while later, the levels had barely changed! I hope this is the breakthrough needed!" That sounds fascinating. Was it for type 1 or 2?  | |||

"I’m type 1. Annual hospital check up tomorrow. Expecting my hba1c to be to high.. "Have you tried a low GL/GI diet? Not low carb because too low and you will go hypoglycemic instead of hyperglycemic. both are bad for Type 1 or 2. | |||

"Just a follow up from my previous comment. Ozempic is the drug they are using to treat diabetes. The person I know using it, has 1 injection a week and his bloods have been so much better on that than anything else he’s tried" That is helping them lose weight and ultimately helps their sugar levels. I need to lose weight. | |||

"Unfortunately drugs don't address the root cause of Diabetes which is essentially metabolic disease. Taking the drugs will help with weight loss but also lower bone density and muscle mass. They should only be taken in extreme cases yet they're becoming a trendy fad to allow for continuation of poor modern diet standards. The diet advice given by the NHS and Diabetes UK is poor and anyone can control type 2 Diabetes with a simple combination of lower carb intake, zero sugar, no processed foods, only drink water/black coffee/tea no milk, walk 3-5 miles per day in one consistent effort topped up with being less sedentary as a whole. Whilst I'm sure all the above sound pretty crap the drugs don't treat root cause, arteries are still clogging up slowly, tiny arteries are dying which ultimately can lead to circulation and nerve damage as well as early onset dementia (or type 3 diabetes as they call it in many parts of the world). If you are anywhere near pre-diabetic or full type 2 then take it as an early warning system and get it fixed properly. I'm not ranting here or calling out any advice as bad, I'm just well read on the subject and reversed type 2 along with losing 3st in 3 months. It's easy and I got my life back as well as my full erection capabilities. If anyone wants any advice then feel free to DM me and I'll happily expand on the above." Lots of good advice for those with type 2. Unfortunately those with type 1 have greater challenges. | |||
