scionmd Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 i take glucovance... its a combo of both Glibenclamide & Metformin i think... my doc was just going to prescribe one or the other but considered that they shot me up w/ insulin when i was confined so she decided to give me something of both... maybe its because its hard to control your blood sugar thats why your doc give you a combination drug to furthe incease the stimulating power to your pancreas to produce insulin.... eventually if your body have a positive reaction to this and your bld sugar can be controlled na maybe your doc will bring you back to a single drug ...

ligtasan Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi!How and where do you test for diabetes type 2? I undergo annual physical in our company and my blood sugar has always been normal. I just tested positive for glaucoma and i read that it's a symptom of diabetes- When you go for a physical ask your MD to give you a glycohemoglobin test. The results will either confirm that you're either a diabetic or you just need corrective eye surgery. It's not that bad as long as you don't have a nearsighted intern who doesn't know how to properly draw blood. The last time I went in I ended up handing her the vials after drawing my own blood. It hurt less when I found my own vein (7 sec) :thumbsupsmiley: . She kept twisting the needle inside my arm trying to find the vein (40 sec to 1 min) :thumbsdownsmiley: . Quote Link to comment
xwhiteshadowz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hmmmm for the past few years...Diabetes is classified in type 1 and type 2...i was informed by my friend form aust that soon the diabetes types will be obsolete...havent read much though... As for the diabetics...blood sugar control is of great importance...this will be one of the basis of your prognosis..especially in the future..you may be taking drugs at this moment but it would be better if you also have the guts to undergo diet modifications..sadly..uncontrolled blood sugar amidst proper medical treatment will eventually lead to daily insulin administration..in 10 yrs or less.. high sugar levels cause a lot of damages to the body..initially targeting sensitive and thin blood vessels and nerves..this may manifest as eye problems e.g diabetic retinopathy , sensation impairment or vessel problems e.g DVT...its is wise to discuss your treatment options to your doctors including secondary consultations which may include eye doctors,endocrinologists, neurologists or cardio....Commonly filipinos tend to disregard dieting as for they are already taking medications and just depend on the drugs itself but diet is one of the most important aspects in controlling elevated blood sugar...some test are useful in diagnosin and knowing the prognosis of your diabtes.. glycosylated hemoglobin shows the sugar level in the past three months..if it is properly controlled..there are available handy sugar blood level monitoring machines in the market for home use..it is useful in monitoring sugar levels at home without visiting the lab frequently..ask your MD about it.. any comments or reactions to my post are acknowledged Quote Link to comment

rcko21 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 This site looks more of diet control. Well in reality what the site recommends here is no difference to what any doctor would recommend. A healthy diet with lots of fiber, low fat, high HDL... nothing new. This is not a cure. Quote Link to comment

id6230 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 With all the synthetic foods produced nowadays, it is a challenge not to get diabetic. It always good to watch what we eat, exercise and be happy. Quote Link to comment
pilyo168 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 buti nalang madaming sugarfree na ngayon. Quote Link to comment
xwhiteshadowz Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 buti nalang madaming sugarfree na ngayon. yung mga coke/pepsi? hehe not actually sugar free imho..theyre just using different kinds of sugar that are easily utilized by the body for breakdown unlike the complex sugars used prior to the modification of the product..its a misconception i think to flaunt na no sugar talaga.. any comments or reactions to my post are acknowledged Quote Link to comment
