its worthwhile investment of course. I am lucky because my medical benefits cover test strip for gluco meter so I can test frequently every time I consume foods. Found out that I can actually eat durian without having effects on my blood glucose compare to eating grapes.

The pros of having diabetes is that once an insurance agent hears that you have diabetes, he won't push anymore health insurance to you.

Carbonated drink is a definitely a NO la. Do you have a gluco meter to check your blood?

need to monitor your bg level after food to see if the insulin increase is too much.

always in moderation right.

still will increase you blood sugar if eat a basket of durian.

I am going to eat the most expensive durian I can get.

I know that feeling of not feeling anything after 10 years sticking needle for insulin and blood check.

thank Allah, I already passed that phase. not needing any needles and frequent Blood sugar check.

I was wrongly diagnosed as T1 back then because they saw me as a juvenile IDDM. Probably for the good since I was on insulin day one.

In Malaysia, once you have diabetes, you are not eligible for any health insurance.

Since I'm T2, honeymoon period don't apply to me hehe.

stress do increase bg

nice finding.

Stimix case is the same with me.

Diagnose with Diabetes on 2003, Doctor can decide what type but since I'm young, they decided that I'm a type 1 so they prescribe me insulin. been living with insulin up till dec 2012.

In july 2012, after change of doctor, new doctor prescribe Victoza, cancel Novomix and Novorapid since both promotes appetite and maintain Levemir. My blood glucose was in control after 3 month of this new medicine regime couple with following diabetic diet. I only starts to exercise on October 2012.

by december 2012, doctor stops the Levemir since I'm having hypos.

by march 2013, stop on victoza and by april stop on metformin.

right now I don't take any medication for diabetes and my GTT shows that I'm no longer diabetic.

Preprandial 5.3
Postprandial 5.6

this is eat normal la

why do i need to eat like malaysia do. pagi2 makan nasi lemak tengahari 1000 kalori malam some more 1000 kalori. doesn't made sense.

i prefer to live longer healthy than have my fingers/toes/kaki/tangan amputated or worst be like my late mom have to go for dialysis every 3 times in a week.

my not normal eating last time was plate ful of rice, chicken egg less vege and another protein fish or meat. drink sweet stuff like plain water four times daily and no exercise at all.

itu confirm la dpt diabetes.

ehem i did the glucose tolerance test which is what normal people drink and diabetic people would shot the Blood sugar to double digit figure. my BLOOD SUGAR remain at 5.6.

beside my vastly experience endocrinologist confirms that technically i'm no longer diabetic.

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

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