will have to wait for the accurate result from hospital

thru my own gluco metre

Fasting blood = 5.4
30 minutes after consuming that sickly sweet drink = 8.6

Yeah most newly diagnosed diabetics were like that initially I was diagnosed in late 80s' That was >24 yrs ago. Your glucose level is almost similar to mine nowadays after going thru insulin treatment since Mar this year. I believe you're also on insulin right now.. What is the type of insulin & dosage you are taking right now?

Hi,
Having diagnosed with diabetes type 1 is really not because of you having binge drinking sweet drinks but rather due to the fact that your immune system is being manipulated. Your pancreas would not produce enough insulin to counteract the exogenous glucose from your dietary intake. Therefore, you might sometimes experience the symptoms of hyperglycaemia. Yes, what your doctor said its true, diabetes type 1 is brought about by the mutation in your gene. By now, I guess you have already adapted to it. To answer your question about the protein powder, I guess you can take any protein powder that does not have any glucose in it? (Not sure whether all of the protein powder contains glucose ingredient or not, sorry). As long as the protein powder does not have any glucose in it to fluctuate your blood glucose level in your body, then probably it's alright to be consumed. (Correct me if I'm wrong anybody).
P.s, stay strong and fit buddy. I'm sure you will cope up with this.

yea,im already on insulin,im using novorapid flexipen(doctor put 8 for this 1,but since i eat rice more than half plate so my injection varies to my food portion,sometimes i inject 10) for short term insulin and glargine for long term(night,20 unit injection)

ahaha yea,but most malaysian including myself doesnt really have knowledge about diabetes,when i was hospitalized my doctor said my pancreas already stop producing insulin..yea i will try my best to avoid from getting amputated n other complication as kidney disease n etc..

Hmnnn u probably with private Hospital because I was told earlier in this thread, govt Hospital only giving the older gen Novo- Insulatard (long acting), mixtard (Mid-acting) and short acting - Actrapid

I was prescribed 8 units each of Insulateard (B4 sleep daily) and 8 unit of actrapid 1/2 hr b4 meals (3 times daily), Just like you, I alo eat >1/2 plate of rice i.e ~ 3/4 plate + fruits (apple / Gauva/ pear)..That's why my result also so-so only. I actually increased my actrapid to 9ut per meal instead of 8...I'm going to visit my Doctor again, dunno whether they agreed if I suggest them to increase me to 10ut for each meal

Good News at least for me

My Glucose Tolerance Test results

Fasting blood sugar : 5.3

2 hours after intake of Glucose Solutions : 5.6

Wah.. you almost cure???? Most probably you are on borderine previously with your obese sized and now with the weigh reduction & stringent diet + exercise.. you got it controlled.

when i was diagnosed in 2003, i was 125kg and it wasn't borderline, it was 30+ mmol. possibility of diabetic coma since the meter itself display error because of too high of sugar. immediately admit to ward and hospitalized for 1 week to stabilize the sugar. I was 23 years old.

was put with insulin regime since then.

no la,im not that rich kid to follow up in private hospital,all my follow up appointment now in selayang hospital,before this i used humulin R n actrapid but both of it doest suit me well,i ended up around 9-11 glucose reading until doctor prescribe me with novorapid,only glargine never changed,ahh i see,i only eat fruit once per week,same goes to vitamin C supplement,btw have u ever experience 1 weird situation where ur glucose reading kinda go haywire?there`s a situation happened to me,once every 3 months,where my glucose reading goes crazy,like 15,14 sometimes 20,i didnt changed my diet or my insulin injection,not to mention there`s also a time im easily turn hypo,1.8-3.4 kinda weird i never changed my insulin intake unit or my meal,too bad for since im categorized not that serious diabetes patient anymore i seldom meet with head doctor during my appointment only "kid" doctor so they cant give me reasonable explanation..im turning 26 years old this august by the way


ahaha,high 5 mate,there`s a time i get HI and LO reading too xD

Hey guys i am also diagnose with diabetic 5 years ago at age 21 heard from doctor it is a genetic since i am getting it in young ages not mistaken reaching 8 above but i did not take any medication because heard lots of people saying that medication will slowly damage our kidney and end up heard attack....etc so i am just cutting down on sweet like drinks, choc, ice cream but not rice...... until last 3 month I got sick and i just reach 12.9 after that I am taking Noni (not sure anyone heard before) Been diagnose last month without medication also but my sugar level came down to 10.9. I have not went for checkup for this month yet so not sure about my sugar level now.

Heard that this noni helps regenerates back your cells. Stlll under testing if anyone interested to give it a try can look for me. Will update once I went for check up for sugar level again.

untreated diabetes mellitus cause problem.

a lot of people are stupid. thus most hearsay is full of bs. most probably you have type 1 diabetes mellitus. the drug you need is insulin. and it is normally produced by the human body. if used properly, insulin is very safe, in fact, diabetic people who are pregnant will switch to insulin instead of other diabetic medication.

and this noni sounds like snake oil to me. don't be cheated.

Yeah I got what u mentioned above. There was time when its gone kuku. but that because I tokk starchy food.. for eg, once I took cantonese fried ying yong (big portion) and the reading gone up 18 There were time my reading touching 12 to 14 too bcos I took bananas, pinneapples or even papaya.. all these with high sugar content

I was diagnosed when I was 18. Just like youm I went on diet without medication until I got married and that was the time my result getting from bad to worse. Thereafter on medication for the past 15 yrs and out of control again in recent years b4 switching to insulin.

I have tried all kinds of alternative medications, noni, spirulina, OMX, all kind of algaes, and even into negative Ion therapy. Most of it is a joke. well except few alternatives like bitter gourds seeds that have good result.
Play safe..go for insulin or exercise + super strict diet like samuraikachang... His control is something unbelievable

go for insulin if you are young. really. it works for me. ask your doctor about victoza if you are type 2. yeah victoza comes with side effects but the good its bring at least for me is worth more than the side effect which by the way i haven't experience any since i started using and stopped using it last march.

also discuss with your doctor type of insulin that don't promote appetite. Levemir would be a good choice for weight control.

A Type 1 diabetic of 5 (I can't remember the date now) years or so here, an expensive hobby being a diabetic

Using Levemir + Novorapid here

Most important is to get the basal insulin dosage correct - if you're taking too much and always going low, having to snack to top-up will for sure make you increase weight

Yes. Always discuss with doctor any incident of lows and his. so he can adjust your insulin. But for veteran diabetic, they should be able to figure out which food to be avoided so the sugar don't goes up suddenly.

Yup, but no matter how - sometimes highs / lows are unavoidable unless you stick to the same routine day in day out (with regards to food, sleep, excersize)

I'm going to be investing in a CGMS (constant glucose monitor) soon to help me improve control, especially overnight levels which are the trickiest ones for me.
