Diagnosed with type 2 a month

[sharonatim]

hello friends, i was recently diagnosed with type 2 about a month ago. I was in shock and just broke down. I could not believe it. I was torn and shuttered but thankfully am managing with my family here. I was put on Metformin 500mg 1*3 and Glubenclamide 5mg 1*2.The problem am facing now is buying the drugs which are very expensive. I sometimes have had to skip a dose simply because am unable to buy drugs. Am unemployed and so are my parents. I try to do small exercise like go for 20 minute walks. I would like to make friends so that we can always encourage each other. I also pray to get a job so that i can look after myself. God bless you all.

I'm so sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. My husband reversed his Type II Diabetes in one month. We cut out all processed foods, particularly the store bought breads, cereals, chips, cookies, etc. I cooked kind of from scratch... bought just the basics, a little meat, lots of fruits & veggies and a little dairy, like milk and cheese. I do a lot of crock-pot cooking and make my own breads and such from grain that I grind. Diet wasn't the only thing that reversed it though. He had to exercise daily, like walk for 25 minutes. AND drink lots of water, not coffee, not tea, but water.

What has your lifestyle been? Just curious.

I made a facebook page that has lots of stories of people reversing their type 2 diabetes and improving their type 1 diabetes by eating a low-fat plant-based diet--thus, no drugs necessary. There are articles, books, video links etc there. You can find it at facebook com/healingdiabetes. All the best to you!

At least with type 2 you can maybe with a little bit of luck control it with diet control and working out. Whats your 1AC for the past 90 days? That gives you an average to work from.

Hi everybody this is Betty...Even though i don't have diabetes ma hubby has and he takes insulin everyday . He was diagnosed diabetes last year on the world diabetes day thanks to the initiatives taken by International Diabetes Federation which we came through website HOLIDAY BUZZ.i think whole community with diabetes are grateful to Frederick Banting who gave insulin to the world.....

My husband was just pronounced cured of his type 2 after loosing 90 lbs while on Metformin--My A1C was 6.8-6.9--not on any meds for it. I started taking 1700 of cinnamon bark twice a day--my last A1C was 5.9. I did nothing else as far as diet or other meds or supplements.(though I do also take Alpha Lipoic Acid)I am quite overweight due to many health issues which render me unable to exercise. My husband was taken off the Met and promptly gained 15 lbs, he was put back on it, but taking less.

Hello,

I've been diagnosed with Type 2 as well but its not so severe that I need medication. I've been told by my primary care provider that by controlling my weight and limited the processed foods and sugars, I can get my type 2 under control. Best of luck - i'll keep you in my prayers.

I am sorry for you to here this news! this is really imported it could be life changing! Maybe this can help you with type 2 diabetes. I would suggest you can at least try it. I know raw food people who have reversed type2 diabtes with a dieet based on raw food, healthy food, seeds, dades etc etc anything not including processed food and white sugar, only natural fruit sugars, vitamines, minerals, cereals ( whole) en certain other foods to avoid who are not healthy for you in the first place. Some famous raw food people on you tube, mimi kirk ( wich is 70 years old and eating healthy has saved her from many things that come with age) and look great by eating healthy. Also this person: bibi zambrano on youtube her story about food and reversing diabetes.
please take the time to have a look at this and try this as a healing apportunity!!! You can at least try it!!! god blessings hope you will heal soon !!

Well Silver, I'd forgotten about this thread truthfully!

The wife and I are on the Medifast diet; so far, God has allowed me to lose 12 pounds, and I have taken no Metformin, Glipaside, Insulin, or Lantus in the past 12 days. If I continue to lose weight, and stick right to the diet I should be good to go after losing another 65 pounds.

I thank you however for the "heads up"
