I'm T2 and at my worst HbA1c was 13 ...now controlled with slow realease metformin, ozempic andDapagliflozin and my latest HbA1c is 4.9.. you are so correct in what you say. I think she thinks she can just take meds and still eat what she wants.
@JamesBrightman6 ай бұрын
Yeah, and I think a lot of people are under the impression that you can just take a drug and that's it - all cured! Well done on your HbA1c! I think mine was 5.5 on my last test a month ago. How are you finding Ozempic? My mum was on it for a while and it really helped her with her diabetes.
@sezh43156 ай бұрын
@@JamesBrightman I was on max metformin, Dapagliflozin and max glicazide before ozempic, and it was still high.Started ozempic 2 years ago (before it was a "thing") and it really worked. Still on it but off the glicazide now, eveen though it is a pain trying to get it in the UK...cannot get the 0.5 dose so they have reduced me to the 0.25 whilst the shortages are ongoing. This has resulted in my HbAiC going up from 37 to 40 mmol n the last 3 months.

I hope you continue to react to her, since you have the same condition she has and can speak from experience. Plus some of the other gorls, like maybe Amber. I love finding new reactors. I come at my reacts from both personal experience, and from a medical provider perspective as I was a paramedic for years. It's a good way to get good info out to people.

The denial on her face is infuriating, how can you honestly sit there seeing that number and wonder how or why especially when she isn't taking her medication. Blows my mind the stupidity but when she's got people in her chat telling her the wipes she uses to clean her desk are spiking her sugar up, I'm not surprised. I'm amazed she's even able to keep her head up with that number.

Trying to justify drinking juice because it's 'natural sugar'. That doesn't matter and a lot of ppl don't get that. It's still sugar, it's still turned into the same substance in your body. And most people eat to much of it via actual sugar stuff, or carbs (and all the processed food is the worst, but even 'healthy ones' need to be limited depending on your health and lifestyle). She will jump through any hoop possible to try to make it seem ok for her to eat whatever she wants, as much as she wants. And don't feel bad for her. People have been telling her for a long time how serious all this is. She doesn't care. She takes for granted she was born in a perfectly able body, and she's skirted death more times than most people do. Do you know that she's even had pulmonary embolisms (yes, more than one)? Just all these things, and nothing ever makes her change. She is just greedy and above all else LAZY and entitled. She really thinks this will pass and she'll take a med or two and be just fine to go back to laying at home 23 hours a day and mukbanging family-sized meals of junk for a few more years before she 'really' has to worry about it. She's going to learn a VERY hard lesson and sooner rather than later.

Fruit juice seems like a bad idea as it has sugar of fruit but no fibre to slow its release. She seemed confident about her health due to recent weight loss, but isn't weight loss also a symptom of diabetes?
@JamesBrightman6 ай бұрын
That's right, if your diabetes is uncontrolled you will get unintentional weight loss. This is because there is so much sugar in your blood that the body will try to expel it through your kidneys and use fat and muscle as energy sources instead, thus leading to weight loss. This is also why Foodie gets urinary infections; glucose expelled by urine will give a source of sustenance to the bacteria down there.

My grandma died due to a lifetime of complications due to metabolic dysfunction and SD2 aged 65. She only got morbidly obese after 2000, because here in Russia there was not much food to eat throughout 80s and 90s, but her decaying before our eyes even eating somewhat healthy foods but never measuring sugar or portions, having projectile diarrhea and parchment dry skin and rashes in skin folds, had been haunting me for a while after recalling my childhood as an adult. This also motivated me to lean down when I tipped scales at 107 kilos eventually due to stress-fueled mindless grazing and lack of exercise. How this person is yet alive despite abusing her body for two decades is unbelievable to me as I saw my grandma going to meet Jesus without fast food on plate every day with a condition like this in just years of eating whatever without restraint

My grandfather was from Ukraine and was very much the same way. He fled from famine in the 30s and when he eventually arrived to the UK, he partook in all the culinary delights.

@@JamesBrightman early life malnourishment suffered by people across Soviet Union geography and throughout the seven decades of its existence due to mismanagement and abuse wrought havoc on generations, biologists figured that such events are capable of swapping gene expression and lead to neuroticism and higher propensity to obesity and slow starvation-mode metabolism, and then the generational trauma of war kids was inflicted upon us in more prosperous times and ruined our perception of food. Grandma was not a nice person when in bad mood, and me choking on soup texture or plain poultry stock or fatty meat pieces in borsch earned me her screaming ire and hours of torture at the table. I was not allowed to feed however much or whatever I would choose, only treats I was allowed to pick from, and this really messed up as I matured and got to buy whatever I wanted. I only wanted treats and booze I wouldn’t have at home. To think about it, she died almost 20 years ago, but everything messed up about the nature of things in the family ends up at my table to work through and make peace with as I shed their secondhand coping strategies and our logical revolt to what made sense for them but not for us, and figure my own life. Great that your family got out! I think I caught on that you’re 22-23 stones, which is approximately 150 kilos or 320-something lbs I suppose? Sir, if you were 500 lbs, that’s more than me at my heaviest that you already lost. Keep on keeping on, you’re doing amazing job, not many people who spent big portion of their life severely overweight and also have metabolic issues like yours find physical strength and willpower to fight
