Menopause And Blood Glucose Levels (Type 2 Diabetes Diagnosed)
Jan 12, 2016
I am wondering if anyone else going through menopause has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes that only began with the onset of menopause? I have never had an issue with BGL's until the start of menopause, now they are out of whack and Dr has diagnosed me with Type 2 diabetes. I don't agree with this diagnosis as my gut feeling is that it is all related to the menopause and hormone regulation through the liver. My question is if anyone has had this experience and did BGL's return to normal after menopause. I am not on any medication, trying the diet and exercise thing first (mostly because I am in denial about the whole thing)

I have never had any alcohol before (I am a minor). But I am wondering, how exactly does alcohol affect blood glucose? Alcohol itself, not just sugary alcoholic beverages.

My Doctor gave me a call last week after having my bloods done because of feeling tired and she said my thyroid was borderline and need to go back in 6 weeks.
I've had a call today again from the GP surgery that my glucose blood fasting test was inconclusive and I will need to fast again in 6 weeks and have that done. What does it mean?

I have a 13 year son and he was diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes September 2010 and it has been a struggle every since. As a mother, I get so scared because I seem to cant control his sugar. Lately he has been waking up to high readings, over 300, and I'm not sure why it gets that high. We have had problems in the past when he would sneak and eat chips and candy, the stuff that he knows he shouldn't be eating but he promises that he doesn't eat after dinner and is positive that he doesn't know why his sugar is high in the mornings.

So I am a type 1 diabetic where I take insulin injectables for my insulin needs. I have taken shots for as long as I remember, well now I am 15 years old and my mom is diabetic. I see that she takes pills for her diabetes. She says she is type 2 diabetic. I want to know why she can take pills and I have to take shots? She is on Metformin so I would like to forego the shots and take the pills.
I would like the effects of the Metformin so I know how it would help me with my diabetes. I want to start on it as soon as I can. I would be able to go places without having to take a shot all the time. I need to go to somewhere private and leave my friends when I do my shot.
With the medication I don't have to do that. Does anyone know about Metformin and can tell me about the side effects and stuff?

I'm finally going to have a 5 hour glucose tolerance test done. I've always told doctors that I am not willing to take the test. I just didn't want to go through the week or two of suffering that will follow. Does anyone know if insulin can be checked through the duration of the test? Is it common to have insulin levels checked during a GTT?

My biggest fear in life has just been confirmed... Something I have been trying to protect myself my whole life.. I just feel so disgusting and worthless. My boyfriend of 6 months is not handling the news well... He just went in yesterday to get blood tests done because he himself has never had any symptoms. But I did hear it's easier for men to pass along to women because we have more soft tissue/more sensitive genital area from men..
I'm so worried that I will somehow have this and my boyfriend won't.. I'm so worried he's going to dump me over this because he can't handle any intense news well... I feel like I will never be able to live my life normally again.. How can I go a day without thinking about this? How will I ever have sex again?
I feel kind of lucky because it's just on the pubic hair region.. But I'm wondering if it can spread to the actual vagina? I'm so upset and I feel like I'll never be able to have children.. I don't know if anyone will reply to this but it just feels good to rant

I am so upset. I was tested early at 15 weeks because both of my parents have diabetes. I know I didn't have diabetes because I had my annual physical with my general doc weeks before I got pregnant and no sugar issues. I failed 3 out of 4 of the tests. So I'll have to prick my finger 4 times a day and restrict the carbs in my diet. What should I expect? Is it a good thing that it if it was going to happen it was earlier than later? I just really need to hear from anyone who went through this or know of other women who dealt with GD

I just wondered if someone could give me some information on taking metformin with type 1 diabetes? I’m currently using lantus and everything seems fine with my bloods and I’ve got good control, but one of my friends is also type 1 and just started using metformin as well as her insulin. I’m just a bit confused cos I thought that was for type 2’s and wondered why she was taking it? Also, if she’s taking it, should I be? Or is it just specific people. If it means I’ve got less chance of getting other problems with my diabetes I’d take it, it’s just that no-one’s ever mentioned it me.

Any solution that can possibly reverse the diabetes. How can I prove this, I also suffered from diabetes for over 15 years with blood sugar that sometimes rose to 400,then in 2015,I discovered a natural herbal supplement which I had to mix with lime. In less than 2 months of usage I began to see significant positive changes which ultimately led to me being diabetes free.

I have found out that if I lose all my weight, excess weight, that I carry around that I can rid of type 2 diabetes. It would reverse the diabetes so that I don't have it anymore! This would be great so that when I get down to 125 i don't have to watch what I eat anymore I hope to start up a web page of my journey so that other diabetics can also stop being diabetic and live again!

I was wondering... can a non-type 2 get a hypo? My sister says she can't get a hypo. She was just diagnosed with type 1 not too long ago. She seems to think that sense she is insulin dependent that she won't have hypos since her blood sugars are always high. I think she may still have hypos at some point.
