I'm still young mah (At heart too  ) just mid 40. so my target is getting below 7 most of the time..so if result showing >7.. really frustrated lor    Yesterday result was good & so do this Morning. No more going below 5 for the past few days. Yesterday on brown rice dinner + 1 pear & apple for dessert. Got 6.4 after 2 hrs and this Morning -6  ..During weekend abit yoyo (6.9 to 10.8) bcos, took hokkien mee for dinner & lotsa junk 

You can manage ur diabetes with proper nutrition. Insulin injection wil usually control it to a certain period of time n then it gets worse n u hv to inject more n more n more till its uncontrollable. then ur organs starts to fail one after another. beware!

why do ppl with workin pancreas who can produce insulin but somehow the body is not sensitive to insulin yet stil hv to take more insulin?

People with diabetes are thin or fat? Have you ever met someone who is diabetic but is very very thin? Why if yes you have?

initially they can be fat. fat do reduce the sensitivity to insulin, thus may result in diabetes mellitus type 2.

as the disease progress, with poor control of the disease by medication or in the absence of medication, the body uses more and more energy from non-glucose source, from fats primarily, resulting in weight loss. if the weight loss is severe enough, the patient becomes thin.

swollen legs have many reasons, may or may not have relation with diabetes.
common reasons of swollen legs could be pregnancy, heart failure, varicose disease, lymph stasis....

darm good better than normal ppl without diebetes of below 6.1%. My latest HBa1C = 7.2%.. Well, at this rate I'm already satisfied because when I started on Insulin, my reading was ~9.7% and ~2 yrs ago it was >11% 

change your doctor

Huh, diabetes where can cure want..

OK-lah. if you mean type 2 control via strict diet    because you sounded like a cure earlier  Anyway, it's good to conduct another GTT although I doubt so bcos if your insulin factory already weak & with lack of insulin, if you drink that glucose scrup during GTT, I think the result after 1st, 2nd & 3rd hours will be on diebetic side too. Not because of your strict diet but more like not enough insulin to control the sudden surge in the glucose scrup during GTT 

hmm....I didn't know diabetes can be cured  . Prolly the correct term to be used is is under control with proper diet and lifestyle.

I think your insulin produced is just enough to act on the minimal glucose taken by you through your current diet. The GTT test would be beneficial to see if this is true.

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.

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

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.

Same bro I tried alot of health product too like yours with have so many brands and name bitter gourds i heard it really help but sorry I can't take it + Super strict diet might be killing me.
