I L B C N U asked:


I’m curious. I’ve read quite a few Q&As on type 2 diabetes in this section. It seems there are a couple of regular women answerers here who have let their disease progress to where they have to take insulin, while there are a couple of guys who have worked there way off of all medications with diet and exercise. All four of them are top contributors in the category. My question is this: When asking for advice in this section, who are you going to believe? The two guys who have found their way off the medication through natural means, or the two ladies who clearly don’t have a clue and continuously cite rhetoric from old, antiquated doctors’ and nutritionists’ advice?

s a asked:


How to identify whether it is the first or the second type and which is more dangerous?

Please advice the best ways to control the diabetes if the patient is unable to move by self
A thumbs up for all the answerers for taking pain to answer my question. Thanks you all for the information.

Wow, somebody is gonna get at least 11 points.
My best wishes (specially to Steph, Absin and Gumbo) for sharing their experience. Will pray for your longer life.

Both my husband and sister in law have type 1 diabetes. My husband develop type 1 diabetes when he was 5 years old, but his identical twin did not. His younger sister developed type 1 diabetes when she was 12 years old.

I was writing my application essay for college and I am going to do it on a life changing experience.

 

I have had type 1 diabetes since February 2008 and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on how it has changed your life.
