Yeah most newly diagnosed diabetics were like that initially  smile.gif  I was diagnosed in late 80s' smile.gif 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?
*
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)

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.

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  hmm.gif

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 blush.gif + 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  hmm.gif  biggrin.gif

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

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.

Hi there, just want to ask all the gurus here, my late grandpa and my father get diabetes at the later stage of their life , like after 60 yrs old, so will i get it later?? at the moment don't feel anything yet, but i'm afraid will get it later in my life, is it inherited or something....
*
usually female is the carrier of the genetic disease,which side grandpa is that,but if ur father u will carry it possibly ur kids/grandchildren will get it..but there`s a percentage u can get it too if u dont take precaution measures to prevent it..my ex biology teacher told me about genetic diseases inheritance,n i kinda think its a bit accurate,since i got both of diseases from my late grandma(my late mother side)there`s few more she told me,1st child/2nd child usually didnt get it,especially female becoz their genetic is dominant unlike male..

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?

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 biggrin.gif
