Diabetes, especially type 2 (which you may see from time to time as Diabetes mellitus, it's clinical name) is all about maintenance and self-restraint. Which is ironic, because it was the very lack of those two things which led me to contract it in the first place. I've had the very good fortune of having superb physicians over the past two years who are very knowledgeable about the disease (it's very nearly an epidemic here in DC, so that's not really surprising).
The diagnosis was scary, and it meant having to think about food in a completely new way. The upside of that is that I've been exposed to an enormous variety of foods that I'd never considered before.
But maintenance, your own ability to cope with it, is the only defining factor.
And Stovokor... I'm truly sorry, dude. I hope that you take the chances you get to let people know about what this beast is, and that you've got good people around you. It makes all the difference in the world.
Stovokor's right... if your doc says "borderline," you need to start altering the way you eat right now. If anyone is interested, I can post a list of resources I've relied on over the past two years and still use to this day.

Moonbase2 wrote:Wow, guys, that is very unfortunate. I can't imagine having a chronic condition that interferes with my life. Worse thing I've ever had was severe preeclampsia, which landed me in the ICU. Being hospitalized is a horrid experience, and I feel bad for any of you that have to endure it. Also, the needles and eating changes you have to make. Must be tough. Can I ask, Sto vo kor, what makes younger people get Type 2? I've always wondered if it's something that just kinda happens to you as a kid, as opposed to life choices you make that leads you to diabetes.

I've been dealing with it most of my life and I'm usually good if I eat every couple hours but every once in a while my blood sugar just drops out of nowhere. I hate insulin shock!

How do you know if you are hypoglycemic? My uncle claims he is and has to eat often. I've had issues for the last six years where sometimes I simply pass out, usually around a time I eat. I did it one time Christmas shopping and I was pregnant. I was standing in line for pizza with a $20 bill in my hand. I woke up sitting against the wall, with the money left on the counter. I got back up and got my pizza. It's happened like six times. I get physically nauseous if I skip any meals.

Definatley not an "ugly mug"!!!Your very cute...but yeah it sounds like your under water when it hits or like you have a pillow over your head and the light and color is fading out from the corner's of your eyes!!!!!It sounds like hypoglycemia to me!!!!!!!!!!!Moonbase2 wrote:Hee hee, I was wondering what you thought I was. I posted some pics of me on the "all yer ugly mugs" thread, about three pages from the last one or so.
It happened one time when I was pregnant, and about five times when I wasn't. I feel sick to my stomach sometimes, then it sounds like everything is underwater. Next thing I know I wake up on the ground. So I don't allow myself to ever skip meals, especially since it usually happens in public.
Still not nearly as bad as your condition.
That is me.

Moonbase2 wrote:One cool thing about hanging out with my Grammy is she also gets sick if she doesn't eat really often, so I never go hungry around her. Do you get really grumpy if you don't eat? Like extremely irritated? I keep myself and my kids on a pretty strict eating schedule. A lot of times people want to eat hours after lunchtime or before my scheduled dinner time and I have to turn them down flat. I don't need the headaches and the nausea.

So, you're not allowed to eat sugar, right? I think I could handle the shots over that. It would be so hard. At least they have a decent selection of foods with artificial sugars nowadays.
