Well probably by now the western trained doctors now have to agree that diabetes can be cured...hmnnnn

Type 2 can be cured (reversed - by diet + excersize) , as I know there is no cure for Type 1 yet (properly diagnosed Type 1 at least)

samurai, how high was your mmo//l on diagnosis?

the meter at the clinic display error for too high blood sugar and hospital was around 25 - 30 mmol if i can remember correctly.

Similar to my case - meter just read "HI" , blood measured at 38 mmol/l

I was obese and taking carbonated water and kopi susu like plain water

My weight was fine (185cm, 75kg around) but damn thirsty + peeing a lot, so was drinking quite a few fruit juices / soft drinks also ... not knowing I was diabetic of course , if I had that many carbs now god knows how high my BG would go

Looks like my first CGMS sensor has given up it's ghost - guaranteed for 7 days but some users reported getting up to 21 days out of one.

Got 10 days out of it and since around 10PM no readings, looks like a new one needs to go in tomorrow morning

yeah same with me

i feel lethargic and drinking sweet drink makes me feel better. never thought it was diabetes symptom.

shit....by looking at your post...I'm worry now...

Within half a year I have gain about 5-10kg, I drink a lot of sweet drink and carbohydrate to make me feel better this half year...

just go to a clinic. make a quick blood glucose test. if you take lunch at 1 pm go to a clinic 2 hour after that.

Random glucose test accurate?

Any suggestion to prevent it to happen? Stop all sugar drink? I'm scare now

random glucose will be accurate to know whether you have high sugar now.

reduce sugar intake if you can but still you have to check with doctor.

don't procrastinate since any glucose level above 33 mmol can result in diabetic coma

Sweet drink didn't make me feel better , just didn't know I was diabetic so was drinking all sorts including many sweet drinks to keep hydrated.

I kind of diagnosed myself online and thought I might be diabetic, the doctor thought I was wrong and didn't want to test for it until I suggested.

She thought I'd been on drugs as my pupils weren't reacting to change of light (ie large pupils even when shining torch)

probably old school GP who doesn't listen to patient suggestion.

well to diagnose it is easier these days.
do a 10 -12 hours fasting sugar test, and the range should be 4-5.6mmol/L
and do another one 2 hours right after your usual meal and that should not be more than 8.8mmol/L

other than that, u could probably do a HbA1C test every 3-6 months to get the average blood sugar for the past 90 days.

Been nearly 3 weeks using CGMS so far - really think it helps me -, although my overnight patterns still seem to be a bit dodgy - think I need to try some days of eating exactly the same thing / routine to get things into check.

Sometimes the high BG alert can be annoying an hour or so after a meal as that's expected , but waking me up at night when sugar is low/dropping has definitely come in useful!

So overall happy, but at RM300 a week just for the sensors, it's expensive

i was reading 1 article back in 2010,they said western doctor`s are working on artificial panchreas for diabetic patient type 1,as they said normally type 1 patients problem is jez their pancreas stop working,thats why they`re using insulin pen to control the sugar within the body..

and btw,back in 2008.i get the symptom,frequently pee,until 2009,i peed every 30 minutes,very hard to go long distance places,n i get perfect ending by diabetic comma n admitted in hospital while i was in kuching in disember 2009
