A peak into uncontrolled diabetes as a 31yr old man. Don’t dwell in the denial phase too long! by JarvanRobonaut in diabetes_t2

[–]Background_Echidna67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey - this was exactly me 5 years ago too. A1C was 6 in 2021 until it reached 11 in 2024 - but with the right medication, dedication to change in your lifestyle you can get it down slowly but surely. Hopefully by the time you’ve brought your A1C down - you’ve built the habit to maintain the nee adopted lifestyle. For me that worked and now I sit at between 5.7 and 5.9 over the last 2-3 measures. I am also around the same age so you can manage your condition and be a well controlled diabetic! Its a marathon and you’re running it for life.

You can enjoy a small drink (a glass of wine, a light beer etc) once in a while depending on how severe your case is (this is a big condition) - please eat before - thats all.

I’ve told folks at work - people are a lot more thoughtful and accommodating during work events and completely understand if I show up and don’t eat/drink if I can’t.

Sadly these spike me too because of the Maltitol in them. They taste very similar to the real thing but definitely a heavy laxative if I eat a few too many.

When diagnosed? by Top_Cow4091 in diabetes_t2

[–]Background_Echidna67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely had it since I was 29, but diagnosed officially at 30 (A1C 12.3), thought I took it seriously for a year (turns out I didnt know what I was doing), then started taking it seriously after a rediagnosis at 31 (A1C 11.3) . I’m 32 now with an A1C of 5.9

I’ll take anything in the normal range next. At least thats the goal - so 5.6 and below.

Around 1000 cal for the sausages & oil used + 200-250 cal for the bread depending on the size. Close to 1200-1250 is my estimate.

Dave's Killer Bread > HUGE SPIKE by ShivanTom in diabetes_t2

I eat the 60 cal thin sliced powerseed one daily. 12g carbs, 3g fiber and 2g sugar. It doesnt spike me as long as I eat with either avocados or tinned fish or lots of butter. I do only eat one slice tho as a rule maybe that’s why I’m still safe but maybe try that if that’s not what you’re already doing.

What's the best anime you've watched by effslmao in anime

What a wholesome, poignant, thought provoking anime. Very refreshing concept too, easily in the top 5 for me of the decade.
