Thank you for sharing this weatlh of information. I have been worried if I have diabetes, I don't know how to check if I do. I guess just a simple trip to the doctos will do. However, like you said, there are rarely any signs until it's too late. Read More

Lets Work Together. Share Experiences. Learn From Each Other.
I hope to harness the power of many to learn more on how the disease affects us. There are many people out there who are not aware that they have the disease. By the time they find out, sometimes it is too late. It is very important that people get tested. It is a very simple blood test that detects the presence of the disease. In many cases, lifestyle changes and diet can delay or reverse the disease. For some it does not work, and they have to take prescription medications. Others take over the counter supplements, including cinnamon, omega 3, magnesium and many others. There is no one single approach to managing the disease. Each regimen is tailored to the needs of the individual.
Every individual is different. Diabetes in general and specifically Type 2 impacts individuals in many ways. Individuals experience different reactions to some of the medications. For example, many individuals react negatively to Metormin, one of the more commonly prescribed medicine. Personally, I do not suffer from any side-effects, but I am aware of others who do. The newer medications, such as the family of liptin products are effective for many, but some cannot tolerate it. The bottom line is to work with your physician to identify steps to manage your diabetes.
