Dont Know If My Diabetes Wants To Leave :(



Recommended Posts

Well I've been type two diabetic for about five years and Im about one month out from surgery and the doctor who released me from the hospital said to drop my 5mg glyboride(1time a day) and my 1000mg metformin(2 times a day) and just take my Lantus 25 units a day. Leaving the hospital my readings were 190. Well my readings were 190 so I continued with the glyboride and metformin on my own. Even with the small amount I eat do I ever see it under 100. My 30day average is 148. Before surgery it was about 210 average with a1c of 10. I got this surgery primarilly for the diabetes and Im a little depressed that I may be in that percentage that it does not go into remission. Any one else out there in the same boat? Does it take longer to take affect? Ive heard so many great stories about people dropping all there meds when they left the hospital. Oh please diabetes GO AWAY!

Hey I heard of a few like your case of it, but I came across an article on coconut oil and its effect on diabeties and several other ailments, like fatty liver etc...You might go online and read a little about what this coconut oil does. It has some kind of powerful ester effect, there is also a video article on the 700 club web site.

I was sleeved Dec 12, 2011 I also had type 2 diabetes before VSG. I was in the 140's for the first few weeks until I started using www.myfitnesspal.com

and I could see how much sugar I was taking in. I try to keep my intake around 35 gm a day and my numbers are now in the 70's but not higher than 120. I have 1 more A1C check before the doctor will remove it (Diabetic) from my file, can't wait for that day.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
