Don't drink at all,
No more coffee/tea/cola/beer etc etc. Haven't drink sweet drinks more than a year

Veggies are always part of menu.
Most likely the grapes I've been binging on + carbs/pasta/noodles/breads

whats your blood sugar level?

usual advice... cut out completely rice and sugar, and you can still eat everything else (add vege to replace the bulk of rice) pretty much for the time being.

fruits should be fine if you keep the same portion and don't go load up on high sugar fruits.

Get this if u need sweet drinks. Have been using this for years already if I need to sweeten my coffee and tea. Can't remember when was the last time I bought sugar.

Beware, u need only a very very small amount to sweet it. Don't like me when first time use, accidentally put too much and almost puke out due to tooooooo sweet.

start prolonged fast now before its too late.
eliminate all those viseral fat come first.
you will get sugar spike in the morning with fasting , but it was meant to be as those fat converted glucose will be transfer to the bloodstream first before it got burned by the body cells

Go find kelab diabetes in fb. There 100% you can control ur bg.

Not all fruit can take,look for berries family.
No potato's or underground plant.
Most tropical fruits can spike ur bg.
Cut carbo if u can, limit it.
No bread no metter grain or non grain bread.
Option for flour use coconut flour or almond flour.
Ketchup, souces can spike ur sugar too.

If ur renal is good, protien is ur fren.
Don't eat after 7pm let your body rest
Iitimetent fasting good too, but no such food I mention above.

No need to stress, stress can bring your bg high also. It won't kill you in 1 or 2 yera, if you control you can life longer like other healthy person. Just don't late take action. If you late all ur organ also will rosak slowly due to uncontrolled bs.

11 is random. Or hba1c? If hba1c work hard to get it to normal range.

Find cheap one, the strip cheap also can. Sinnocare also good. The strip cheap look at shopee no need high end. All reading won't same if u check, but that what your range. Hba1c check accurate.

If you want control I suggest u record what you eat, then after 2 hour check your glucose. If high that food is no no.and monitor how much or portion suitable. You need find this yourself.

Yes it's ok. Many thst club use that. All also not accurate. But the given number not cheat one la. Some watch give random number also BP checker. Sinnocare still ok. The stirp cheap. You need many strip to monitor. If you can afford buy CGM, not cheap, good for type 1.

Ts, also don't drink vitamin c soluble. I used.to drink 2 cups a day & it contribute to sugar level & Doctor confirmed. Dumb I know but thought that sugar level was very low & was actually more concerned about sodium level contents.

I did check ingredients but really couldn't find on sugar level so assumed it would be very low. I seldom drink soft drinks so I immediately suspected that vitamin c was the culprit when got my test results

Also try drinking misai kucing tea. I am currently taking gbt brand & it really helped in reducing my hpa1c level.

I drank 1 cup a day for about 3 weeks and took a non fasting test at health Lane. Dropped from 6.7 to 6.0 & now I am taking 2 cups a day which is the max u can drink per day.

U can also try taking biogrow oat bg22. It's more for reducing cholesterol but also does reduce blood glucose.

ts one thing need to mentioned that exercise are not sufficient to manage your sugar and fat loss. most of the glucose were used by the normal function of your body(breathing, heat regulation, heart pumping, brain function, immunity system etc) in order to keep your alive.

so die2 you need to do calories deficit. whether you like or not. eating much lesser will be a good start.

all good until your cells refused to store more glucose.
you should be aware that fat cells are destroyed over time. when fat cells gone, more and more cells will be insulin resistant. hence more glucose stay in the bloodstream.

thats the reality of life, when you get older, you should eat lesser. thats is why many old people said you should enjoy eating while you still young.

Oh yeah, sorry ts forgot to mention that biogrow bg22 oats is in powder form per sachet. It's not quacker oats type of cereal.

Take one sachet mix with half cup of water right before each meal.

First few times, best to take it on your off days just in case cause purging until use to it.

Not end of the world, unker diagnosed for Type 2, 20 years ago. Just change of lifestyle. No over drinking of beer, liquor to plotek kidneys. Gradually cut down on sugary drinks and food, you know-la...no need to tell you which ones. Get some exercise, start light and then more as you progressed, unker started short marathons on top of weight training at gym, dancing for cardio to lose inches. Cut down rice, prob 1-2 times a day until can totally cut-off, do it for 3 months and go for urine test not blood as it's more accurate. I started with 9.0 glucose level to 3.3 now but will go back up if I stop my discipline. Less jogging now as knees not strong but still doing 1 hour cardio 5x a week and weights.

Fact is, not onli potong kaki, you will go blind suddenly from glaucoma as the nerves in your eyes will be weakened by the excess glucose and lack of insulin produced by your body. Your whole nervous system will go haywire, especially yr legs as you will feel numb there and sometimes itchy which you can't scratch it off especially under your soles. Your dick will be affected as well, so no more 3x sex a day, more like 3 months one time if you can maintain an erection. Blue pills need to be doubled but need to check BP first as heart will not be strong due to diabetic medication eg metformin. When you first start taking it, you shit watery or soft stool, plus lots of gas in your bowels. So, to lessen the impact, need to start from today, eat less, exercise more and sleep more as well.

diabetes only.

1. no sugar.
2. no/low carb. whole grain/ whole wheat bread is ok.
3. vege, vege, no sugar sauce, mayo.
4. blood test when feel ill/pain.

Certain teas contain compounds that may help optimize diabetic control. Plus, drinking tea can help you stay hydrated, which is essential for healthy blood sugar regulation.

welcome to the club.

diabetes is the main evil that will also introduce additional illness like high blood pressure etc, if you do not manage it well.

did doctor request you to go for insulin injection? if not your case is nothing like real diabetes.

diabetes not necessarily can get from sweet food and drinks.. if u eat too much carbs and you're sedentary, can get also.. anyway type 2 can be reversed just need to be committed.. completely avoid carbs from bread/pasta/rice and just stick to green veggies as they should already contain carbs that your body needs.. avoid sweet fruits.. eat protein more to help you satiated.. but consult with your doctor first before incorporating this diet change.. you'll be fine ts

Fat cells increase insulin resistance. Its SCIENCE

Now you know one of your major risk factor.

Cut your fat percentage.

Increase your muscle mass.

All this will increase insulin sensitivity.

Sleep early and manage your stress too.

Even this pipu with high cortisol (stress hormone) will have increase blood sugar because during stres, your body needs a lot of energy hence cortisol, a catabolic steroid will breakdown glycogen, fat, muscle to sugar causing hyperglycaemia.

Forget supplement and do basic essential lifestyle changes first.

you got it wrong, more fat cells improve insulin resistance. its when the fat cells become too big(in cell size, not quantity), it become a problem.
fat cells main function is to store glucose, the others cells are pretty much rejecting to store glucose with the exception of liver.

do you want to do biopsy to find out?
if their a1c is high, likely the cell is big, more cell or not is different matter. if someone can hit 500lbs (pure body full of fats),then pretty much they have tons of fat cells. a slight reduction of their weight can make the diabetes go away.

Ya i mean gemuk as in larger fat cells. Fat cells dont add in number when gemuk iinm. You get what i mean. Im correcting the notion that gemuk doesnt affect sugar uptake.

then most likely your family genetic dont make much fat cells. you are not only alone, mine too. if i increase my weight to around 100kg pretty much fasting glucose reading will mess up and the tolerance get worse over time.

general consensus said people get their lemak increase when they increase weight. maybe for kids or young adult, it is true. but for middle age, eldely age people, not so much, you probably have fat cells destroyed due to aging instead.

the study dont include normal looking people with fat hyperplasia la. its always those morbidly obese wan. blush.gif blush.gif
but anyway, body dont find the need to produce cells in large number if it doesn't require it to begin with. of course this doesnt account to genetic information.

Yours is type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 can be reversed through low carb / keto diet.
Cut carbs and sugar.

I never had diabetes but I am on low carb diet for 5 years already.
Lost 25kgs and I am now lighter and fitter than when I was younger.
I also do cardio and strength training 2 times every 3 days.

I don't eat bread, rice, noodles, pasta, pizza, basically anything that is high carb.
I also avoid ultra processed foods.
I eat fruits but avoid fruits like grapes, durian that is high in sugar content.
Guava and avocado is low in sugar content.

Exactly as your doctor said: lifestyle change and some meds to help.

I hope you don't buy into healthy food to eat for diabetic thing and then went to eat more healthy food. You don't get healthy by stuffing your face with healthy food.

Ask the doctor for dietician consult. And most importantly lifestyle change.

You havent update you reading on scientific literature.aybe because its not your job or passion. Go read what david Sinclair or Valter Longo said both are authority in longevity field. Btw Valter longo advocates fasting mimicking diet.

Fyi im in keto/low carb field of expertise since 15 years already. I dont do hype kind of keto.

Nope its quite common nowadays than what many pipu think. Its just that i checked regularly because i have easy access to health screening and i have family history of diabetes.. A lot of undiagnose prediabetic actually. Most come at late stage irreversible damage.

Prediabetic is the easiest stage to reverse hyperglycaemia. In4 better low sugar low carb since childhood but yeah. I agree on that. Prevention is better than cure.

Check your serum insulin guys. Its better early than late diagnosis by your doctor.

Actually I keep up to date. Body uses ketone more efficiently than glucose. That's why my diet is a modified Mediterranean style keto. Lots of Indonesian avocados, high quality extra virgin olive oil, and macadamia nuts. Only carbs I take are cold sweet potatoes.

So you do know the impact of ketosis on the microbial diversity and the hormones? Yes you need to modify because increasing LDL due to high fat diet although some say large fluffy LDL is good, its not as good as it sound.

I agree LCHF is good but not really high fat. Its best keep to enough protein, moderate healthy fats.

My concern is deep ketosis. Not really LCHF. You cant really do ketosis and high intensity workout at the same time as efficient as glucose albeit "unclean" energy. Believe me. Ive done ketosis for many years since 15 years back when even many doctors against my practice. Its not even a thing in the west, malaysian still on high carb low fat diet that time.

It helps the microbial as far as I know. Heck if you feed both soluble and insoluble fibres to the microbes they will thank you by producing short chain fatty acid which is very beneficial to you. It reduces inflammation.

I don't think I am in deep ketosis. But I know fasting and exercise is the only way to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistance. Cause you want to get rid your visceral fat (inflammatory fat in your body).

I do OMAD and on and off 48H fast with the diet as mentioned above. My diet got lots of veges, minimum fruits.

Nope. More studies indicate ketogenic diet reduce microbial diversity albeit some mixed result.

I dont disagree with fasting and exercise. Its just they way people do KD without monitoring and understanding the effect of the diet to the body, mainly gut issue and hormonal affects.

Heck people dont even know what is keto flu and how did it happened ..thats outrageous. Keto diet without knowledge is as dangerous as following mainstream diet haha.

No im not referring to you. I think its okay to go with that diet as long as you know what you are doing. I use to demonise high fructose laden fruits but now im more leanient. I take various fruits but not much. Not as much like what KKM/FDA suggest.

can try taking Magnesium Glycinate ( 410 ~420 mg for adult male) supplement daily for sleep & relaxation, it can help with blood sugar regulation too.

Exercise as in weight resistance training, build up muscle mass to help body absorb glucose more effectively which can improve blood sugar level after eating

strength training can help reverse insulin resistance.

u can try up the dosage cause 400mg just a daily recommended dosage, if u got chronic stress, it will trigger blood sugar and blood sugar will lower ur Mg that manage ur sugar level.

higher blood sugar also cause ur potassium lower. and also cause potassium and sodium pump not working properly.

just watch ur diet, eat more green, vegetable, less carb, ultra process food, cut sugar... and watch out for maltodextrin, watch out on food Glycemic index (GI), maltodextrin far worst then sugar where u can easily find in ultra process food.

exercise strength training a must..

it take time to recover

Hello TS, may I know 11 is hbA1c or Blood Glucose? Dr prescribed oral is metformin only or combination?

11 is quite high but I doubt Dr will give single medication only, as usual start from control with medication + lifestyle modifications. If you're affordable can get Abbott arm patch glucose meter, now got buy 1 free 1. You can check your glucose from time to time, pre or post meal. Then you will know which type of food triggers your blood glucose.

So long you not yet insulin resistance, its still reversible. Ask your Dr what's the target goal for your blood glucose / hbA1c after 3 months.

Fat cells increase insulin resistance. Its SCIENCE

Now  you know one of your major risk factor.

Cut your fat percentage.

Increase your muscle mass.

All this will increase insulin sensitivity.

Sleep early and manage your stress too.

Even this pipu with high cortisol (stress hormone) will have increase blood sugar because during stres, your body needs a lot of energy hence cortisol, a catabolic steroid will breakdown glycogen, fat, muscle to sugar causing hyperglycaemia.

Forget supplement and do basic essential lifestyle changes first.

you got it wrong, more fat cells improve insulin resistance. its when the fat cells become too big(in cell size, not quantity), it become a problem.
fat cells main function is to store glucose, the others cells are pretty much rejecting to store glucose with the exception of liver.

Hahaha. Thats jus bs propaganda by the mainstream. I even take in thousands mg of vitamin C daily but my kidney is healthier than thousands in the hospital because of taking drugs.

Do check on hospital statistics main cause of kidney/liver failure. I can assure you 100% each and every, not most. EVERY SINGLE hospital.. top main cause is drugs ..iatrogenic.

Definitely not keto diet, not supplements or herbs in the top list.

Can ask or investigate if you dont believe. You will get many excuses and justification from the mainstream. It is called CAPITALISM.

If you are still healthy with 15 years keto diet, I dont think you are doing the standard keto diet. Most would be dead by now.

Yes..natural fats like lard, tallow, cheese and fatty mill whixh is demonise by the mainstream western diet is not broken until the capitalism make business out of the so call new finding. They even created synthetic industrial trans fat that they- WHO themselves admit killing 500,000 people annually - go read the statement by WHO.

Meanwhile they ask us to eat high inflammatory Omega-6 oil like soybean, sunflower oil and take high carb food. Food pyranid is one of the most bebal kind of diet one could ever follow. You eat all the junk cornflakes cereals stuff because Nutritional Society of Malaysia (NSM) tells u its good breakfast, heck they are sponsored by industrial capitalist BIG FOOD prozionist they never care about humanity nor our health.

Our health became worsen because of their advice and the blame are only on us, not them.

Do u not use brain, they suap our baby with Milo poison since our mother in labour room, they give cakes, susu pekat in oncology ward for cancer patients kununnya to prevent cachexia.. but it accelerate the cancer growth. The health authority either crazy ignorant or simply dumb following orders from western health authority without own brain. Anything we refer from our neighbouring HSA before taking action. Well, yiu want to follow dumb diet, up to ya.

Thats why you need to get out from reading scientific literature only. Go read comments, reviews, testimonies. You know plant base diet is full of capitalist agenda.

I think im still ahead of you. Prescribing the diet is my practice so i get direct feedback.

Anyways im not arguing which is better i think both have pro and cons. Im not a diet cult totok.

Hello TS, may I know 11 is hbA1c or Blood Glucose? Dr prescribed oral is metformin only or combination?

11 is quite high but I doubt Dr will give single medication only, as usual start from control with medication + lifestyle modifications. If you're affordable can get Abbott arm patch glucose meter, now got buy 1 free 1. You can check your glucose from time to time, pre or post meal. Then you will know which type of food triggers your blood glucose.

So long you not yet insulin resistance, its still reversible. Ask your Dr what's the target goal for your blood glucose / hbA1c after 3 months.

For certain Diabetic patient, dr will ask them to control on fasting sugar. Because get stable insulin release will have good glucose control.

Are you getting normal metformin or metformin XR?

Need to have some patience. Taking metformin isn't a bad thing. No need too worry about it. If the current metformin not so expensive, can direct ditch it get meformin XR.

So long your body still can produce insulin, still got hope.

If you know what food trigger your glucose, try to reduce the portion or number of intake.

Many do not understand the excessive glucose can do in the body.

The glucose will caused every cell to rot.

Every single organ in the body will eventually rot.

The eyes will rot, and go blind. The kidneys will rot, and need dialysis. The heart will rot, and get heart attacks and heart failure. The brain will rot, and get Alzheimer’s disease. The liver will rot, and get fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. The legs will rot, and get diabetic foot ulcers. The nerves will rot, and get diabetic neuropathy. No part of the body will be spared.

The solution is to get rid of the sugar.

How?

1. Put less sugar in.
2. Burn off remaining sugar.

Denial is one of many defense mechanisms. It entails ignoring or refusing to believe an unpleasant reality.

Defense mechanisms protect one's psychological well-being in traumatic situations, or in any situation that produces anxiety or conflict.

Denial can involve many different cognitive strategies including avoiding thinking about something, contradicting it, or focusing on alternative explanations.

Denial is an initial response that is used to fend off anxiety when encountering a life-altering event or threatening situation.

However, prolonged denial can cause strong, negative pathological connotations and hinder a successful adaptation.

Many do not understand the excessive glucose can do in the body.

The glucose will caused every cell to rot.

Every single organ in the body will eventually rot.

The eyes will rot, and go blind. The kidneys will rot, and need dialysis. The heart will rot, and get heart attacks and heart failure. The brain will rot, and get Alzheimer’s disease. The liver will rot, and get fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. The legs will rot, and get diabetic foot ulcers. The nerves will rot, and get diabetic neuropathy. No part of the body will be spared.

The solution is to get rid of the sugar.

How?

1. Put less sugar in.
2. Burn off remaining sugar.
*
No sugar, then will die even faster than have sugar bro.

Not get rid of sugar, but to regulate sugar to a normal point..
Masuk hospital take drip also got glucose inside

My dear, what happens in the body if we do not remove the excess glucose?

First, the body keeps increasing the amount of insulin it produces to try to force more glucose into the cells. But this only creates more insulin resistance, in what then becomes a vicious cycle.

When the insulin levels can no longer keep pace with rising resistance, blood glucose spikes.

That’s when the doctor is likely to diagnose type 2 diabetes.

The doctor may prescribe a medication such as insulin injections, or perhaps a drug called metformin, to lower blood glucose, but these drugs do not rid the body of excess glucose.

Instead, they simply continue to take the glucose out of the blood and ram it back into the body. It then gets shipped out to other organs, such as the kidneys, the nerves, the eyes, and the heart, where it can eventually create other problems.

The underlying problem, of course, is unchanged.

The more glucose you force your body to accept, the more insulin your body needs to overcome the resistance to it. But this insulin only creates more resistance as the cells become more and more distended.

Once you’ve exceeded what your body can produce naturally, medications can take over.

At first, you need only a single medication, but eventually it becomes two and then three, and the doses become larger.

And here’s the thing: if you are taking more and more medications to keep your blood glucose at the same level, your diabetes is actually getting worse, my dear.

agree on that, my family has diabetes history, I always find time to exercise on weekends and the only carb i eat is rice and bread in the morning. Sometimes I hv low blood sugar til I have cold sweat so I have to eat a little sweet stuff like half stick of dark chocolate kitkat. When I see TS wrote he eats cake, walao that thing I didnt touch for ages carb + lot of sugar, how is it not trigger his blood spike, which natural sugar and carb doesnt trigger glucose spike, I think his doctor either orang gila run away from tanjung rambutan pretend to be doctor or he is just apprentice doctor say stupid things to patient

I didn't mention this but cake = old 50 cent size
A literal silver

Pasta was not a full load, just enough to fill sauce dish - 2 spoonfuls

Sugar = teriyaki sauce - I just list it as sugar


Unless you're saying rice not carbs?

Testing =either bread or rice, types of rice, types of cooking of rice
Rinse repeat
Fruits = types of fruits, dried vs fresh etc etc

Again notes for my ownself but you guys judge everything within several post

Anything below 4.5 makes me light headed, so at the same time searching for a balance.

Nahhh I have a seperate spreadsheet which includes quantity, not accurate to the gram but close enough.

Not necessarily just GI, but other factors as well are included.
Since fruits not really carbs, like can't really take in apple by the looks of it
(other associated food intake, water intake, distance/steps walked, excercises)

Heck includes my sleep schedule

I believe no one is judging you.

Everyone is using this forum as a platform to post and discuss their thoughts, ideas, and solutions on the topic you had raised up.

DR. VERNER WHEELOCK said, "If I had a flood in my house . . .I would not spend day after day, week after week, & year after year buying buckets, mops and towels. I would not be inventing different types of buckets and more expensive mops or drainage systems to ensure the water drained away quickly. I would find the source of the water and turn it off!"

Yes bro, to date ady I've lost 2.5kg in 2. 5 weeks
Generally walk 8k per day, now doing 15-20k perday
Swim whenever I can

The test are done so I know whether fructose, lactose, maltose, galactose are bumping up the issue. Unfortunately had to kill off gut bacteria biome when I took antibiotic for H. Pylori.

Maybe it's linked maybe it's not. So best to look into it properly so I can plan the diet.

Can't go all the way for proteins as gout/kidney stones are something the family had. Poop issues are well documented

Not pushing just plant proteins as well. F soylent

I need to know how to balance and create a variety of acceptable meals.

Best to eat normally if you want it to be a lifestyle change, avoid breakfast, sweet drinks and all heavily process food.

If you skip your childhood food like white rice etc, you will build more stress, and this stress is worst than carbs you eaten.

Also not all carbs are equally bad, so many other countries eat rice but have low obesity and diabetic.

Stress will make your body to react differently and start eating more and storing more fat as result.

Learn to do 16-8 intermittent fasting. Easiest way is to skip breakfast and to eat lunch/tea/dinner within an 8 hour window. This is assuming you don't have gastric.

Then target minimum 6k steps a day as a baseline. Then start working your way up higher and include jogging and hiking in your routine.

Food continue as per normal, just don't take added sugar for a start (i.e. zero beverages except black tea or coffee). And perhaps reduce rice/carbs protion while increasing veggies/protein on plate, by small amounts (10% to 25%)

Practice this for a couple of months. Then take more drastic measures if needed.

1. Watch your diet – cut sugar and carbs - probably the hardest to do.
2. Watch your weight – if you do #1 right, #2 will follow automatically - no need for 5k weekly or become gym rats. Leisure evening walk suffice.
3. Do intermittent fasting if you can (optional, but it greatly boosts your health and gut).

The MOST IMPORTANT thing is to watch what goes into your stomach first.
If that fails, whatever else you do will fail too.

Exercise a lot

Since exercise use carbs for energy, it will force all the sugar to convert to carbs, and deplete the carbs for energy.

Regardless, uncontrolled diabetic may lead to kidney failure, stroke and dementia.

Based on my experience monitoring my granduncle sugar level, banana is the culprit for his case. Easily spike for real! He just loveeee fruits ie. apples, oranges etc. in the name of vitamin C. And until today he can't control his eating habits.

It may surprise you to know that most doctors have no clue how to take care of health. Their job is sick care, not health care. That's why you see so many fat doctors these days. If a doctor is fat, don't take health advice from them.

QUOTE(ry8128 @ Jan 10 2025, 01:10 PM)
Rrk74 kena diabetes? What what now? Just cut down on all sugary drinks and foods la. Eat more vegetables. Fruits a bit as those have sugar too. Carbs also cut down, eat more lean meat.
*

I would say completely eliminate carbs. The amount of dietary carbs and fiber the human body need is exactly zero.

Eat more fatty meat, not lean meat. Contrary to popular belief, saturated fat is not bad for you. Polyunsaturated fats, aka seed oils, on the other hand, are. They're pro-inflammatory, and consist largely of phytosterols, which is poor building material for your cells.

Yes, fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. It helps with digestion, weight management, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
How fiber helps with digestion
Bowel movements: Fiber supports regular bowel movements and reduces constipation.
Healthy colon: Fiber provides energy for the intestinal microbiome, which promotes a healthy colon.
How fiber helps with weight management
Feeling full: Fiber can help you feel full, which can help you avoid excessive food intake and aid in weight loss.
How fiber helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases
Heart disease: Fiber can reduce the risk of heart disease.
Type 2 diabetes: Fiber can help manage blood sugar levels, which is important if you have diabetes.
Some cancers: Fiber can reduce the risk of colon cancer and some other cancers.
The recommended amount of fiber for most adults is between 22 and 34 grams (g) per day, depending on age and sex.


where do you get the idea that you dont need fiber?

Stage 3b. It's due to diabetic nephropathy. After control the eGFR fluctuates within that stage. I am waiting for a kidney scan later this year but yet to get an appointment from the GH. I'm not showing any stark symptoms of CKD stage 3B thus the doctor referred me to the nephro specialist to check the actual condition of the kidneys.

Doctor also prescribed folic acid, Vit B complex & iron due to anemia, which is also a symptom of CKD.

It's diagnosed from the creatinine level in a blood test which includes the renal profile. From that the eGFR may be calculated. You may also have high proteinuria & albuminuria levels.

This is good to properly observe your glucose level throughout the day and what triggers your spike/drop. My mother use this and the data is shared so it can be seen by every family members.

However, there is a discrepency between glucose patch and finger prick reading. At least from the one my mother is using.

Which brand are you using by the way? It is rather pricey.

I buy the cheapest which is Ottai.
There another brand that do calibration but at about rm150.

Ottai is about rm100.

Libre almost rm200.

I think Linx can do calibration.

Finger prick reading also discrepency between brand and also if buying so call cheaper test strip from othe countries as well.

I tested malaysia test strip and korean test strip.

I have Contour plus and One touch.....definitely different reading.

What like about 24hour monitoring is to observe the trend of our glucose so that what we consume.

I drink beer....at least 15mol...beeping madly.
I eat like satay....bakar stuff......beep beep towards 18mol.


I notice when we have a good sleep.....the glucose will magically go as low as 6mol...
But once we wake up.....somehow it will slowly go to 10mol without taking anything.

Fasting seem the best way....
Even Aaron Kwok eat one meal a day......

Eat to live NOT Love to Eat.

Good medication will improve and slowing down the process, some early intensification can slow down by 10-15 years.. as we all know diabetes is a progressive diseases..

Need to consult Endocrinologist, they will tell you, if you have the budget.

You know la appointment to see specialist is quite slow to get in govt hospital. Anyway the KK doctor has prescribed folic acid, vit B complex & iron tablets, on top of Amlopidine which I'm already taking.

There are many FB treatment & supplement sellers who claim can heal CKD but I always thought it cannot be reversed.

Don't eat too much when buka puasa, otherwise you'll gain weight instead of losing it.

I don't know if you've asked yourself this, but why would any doctor need to prescribe insulin? Are you having T1 diabetes? Are you pancreas not able to produce insulin?

You know la appointment to see specialist is quite slow to get in govt hospital. Anyway the KK doctor has prescribed folic acid, vit B complex & iron tablets, on top of Amlopidine which I'm already taking.

There are many FB treatment & supplement sellers who claim can heal CKD but I always thought it cannot be reversed.
*
Why do you need to take supplements? Are you not getting enough from your diet? Have you questioned the bioavailability of the supplements you're taking?

I don't know if YOUR CKD is reversable, but a body is in its parasympathetic state it wants to heal, no matter whatever that injury is, even cancer. Whether or not it is able to heal depends on how much damage it has taken, and whether it has the sufficient materials to fix the damage. If you're constantly putting your body in a sympathetic state, or insulting, it will not be optimized for healing.

When we are sleeping, blood glucose will dropped. That's how nocturnal hypoglycemia kicks in to certain patients.

That is what happening to me mostly when monitoring glucose level.
After 12 midnite, It will start to drop until 7mol once wake up...
once I wake up, it will start climbing back even I didn't even have breakfast..
Seem fasting is the best way...

Skip breakfast or have a non sugary drink....
The glucose in my case will start only dropping to 5mol usually near noon or by 2pm latest.

So if I binge lunch.... The reading will double up and will fall that if I control my lunch.... If not.... All the way to 6pm before I harakiri insulin...

That's called the "Dawn phenomenon".

Your body kicks up cortisol to raise your blood sugar (amongst other things) so you can wake up. Nothing to worry about.

Skipping breakfast is healthier than most people think. Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT the most important meal of the day. It's a scam by Kelloggs to get people to eat their cereal.

Diabetes occurs when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels by allowing glucose to enter cells for energy. When this process is disrupted, blood sugar levels rise, leading to diabetes.

There are two main types of diabetes:
1. Type 1 Diabetes – This is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to little or no insulin production. The exact cause is unknown, but genetic and environmental factors (like viral infections) may play a role.
2. Type 2 Diabetes – This occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough to maintain normal blood sugar levels. It is often linked to genetics, obesity, physical inactivity, and poor diet.

Other forms include gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy, and prediabetes, where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis.

Need to take the test to determined.

Mine is Type-1
Was on Metformin and Tranaligpin for years and because my diet were bad, so glucose level over the roof

Symptoms:
Hunger all the time
Weight loss of 20kg
Urinate frequently
Thirsty all the time
Wound not healing properly
Foot pain all the time
Feeling fatigue all the time

2 weeks ago, it was 21.5 mmol/g when did a health check.
Doctor prescribed insulin to me, 15ml x3 at the moment
Monitor 3x a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
Before take insulin and after take insulin + meal

Night -> morning - glucose level lowest at 7.5 mmol/g

Have to report to doctor every time, on the chat lol, show her what I ate and then been scolded all the time

Right now:
All symptoms is gone

Feeling better.

If you're having Type 1 diabetes, why are you prescribed metformin? Metformin is for type 2 diabetes. If you have type 1 diabetes and your blood glucose was through the roof, you should be given insulin shots, not metformin. I'm not a doctor but anyone with a basic understanding of the human body will know this. And you'd know this early in life because Type 1 is childhood diabetes.

UNLESS You're actually a type 1.5 diabetes, i.e. you have type 2 diabetes which then either through glycation destroyed your pancreas' beta cells (or they're simply exhausted) ability to produce insulin.

Naturally, the obvious solution here is to consume zero carbs. No doctor will recommend this because you won't need to go back for insulin, and right now you're a cash cow for them.

I’ve no idea, I had been prescribed with metformin and tranaligpin for years. Been to few different hospital, all these doctor gave me the same prescription. There are also one hospital doctor kinda gave me wrong diagnosis causing me more pain for few months.. that’s another story

It was working until it was not (because I didn’t control my diet -> roti canai, teh Tarik, sweet drink (chagee) Starbucks, latte.
And I don’t work out and exercise at all, too lazy and busy

Since I have 2 kids now, recent body fatigue motivate me to re do health check at one of most expensive hospital in vietnam (I emigrate here, as my wife is Vietnamese)

This new doctor when first visit and look at my leg ( wound that healed but dark) and medical report, was angry that I’m young and already had all this condition, she loook genuine.

So she said dont take metformin anymore:
1. No carb (rice, noodles, bread, fried thing)
2. Exercise
3. Take insulin and report to her every single time on what food I ate, the glucose level.

She will then advise me on the dose of insulin to take as well. She prescribed 1 month of insulin for me.

The health system here in vietnam:
Doctor prescribed meds, and these meds you get yourself either in hospital or outside at the pharmacy.

Sounds like the msian doctor just prescribed you meds without knowing whatever for. They're just following algorithms that they've been given either by the medical "guidelines" or by pharma. There are A LOT of kooky msian doctors, and I've seen only a handful for good ones. That's the thing about msians though, they'd take meds for YEARS and their condition don't improve and they won't ask questions... really facepalm.

It's a good thing you've met a more sensible doctor in Vietnam. At least she knows the key is to stop carb intake. Once you get to a good metabolic state, and you know what's a good diet, you won't even need to take the insulin shots anymore, and stop being a cash cow for the medical industrial complex.

Small input. Red meat is not harmful and is very nutritious, and animal organs are also nutrient rich and if consumed proportionally. Dietary cholesterol is not a health concern. The highest risk of any heart disease is metabolic syndrome, not cholesterol. In fact, you need cholesterol to heal your cells.

You can easily tell what type of diabetes by looking at blood glucose and body weight. T1D folks don't get fat, and probably has ketoacidosis. C-peptide is measure to see how much insulin you're producing, it's helpful to see if you're insulin resistant, or your pancrease's beta cells are exhausted.

I would phrase it as insulin signals the cells to open the doors for glucose to enter the cells. Even without insulin the cells can produce energy via fatty acid metabolism. Both glucose and fatty acids are metabolized through the citric acid cycle (a.k.a Krebs cycle). When you get chronic elevated insulin levels (from consuming a high carb diet), your cells become insulin resistant, and eventually you get diabetes.

So even without insulin, your body will be fine as long as you have enough fatty acids for energy.

Yeah.... that's not how the body works. The body "burns" whatever energy it needs. That's why people feel satiated if you eat a nutritious meal, that's your body telling "hey I have enough materials". It doesn't burn too much energy. Only problem is, the human body is not meant to use carbs as the primary fuel source, and people have been told for 60 years to eat a "balanced diet" of 40-50% carbs, and people feel hungry shortly after because how devoid of nutrient a high carb diet is.

I am only responding to his message saying that he had slimed down.

Sliming down quickly after getting diabetics is not a good sign. Means his body can't utilize the glucose.

Thats all.

Why need to bring in insulin, fatty acids etc?

I don't know if you've asked yourself this, but why would any doctor need to prescribe insulin? Are you having T1 diabetes? Are you pancreas not able to produce insulin?
*
I'm T2. Reduction or stopping of Metformin is recommend at higher stages of CKD. Thus insulin is prescribed.

QUOTE(MAGAMan-X @ Mar 8 2025, 04:13 PM)
Why do you need to take supplements? Are you not getting enough from your diet? Have you questioned the bioavailability of the supplements you're taking?

I don't know if YOUR CKD is reversable, but a body is in its parasympathetic state it wants to heal, no matter whatever that injury is, even cancer. Whether or not it is able to heal depends on how much damage it has taken, and whether it has the sufficient materials to fix the damage. If you're constantly putting your body in a sympathetic state, or insulting, it will not be optimized for healing.

Anemia diagnosed from the blood test. And I'm having longterm IBS-C thus digestion of nutrients is always an issue. The injured nephrons in the kidneys cannot be healed. Not by known current treatments anyway.

Diabetes is because your body cannot absorb the glucose and all drained at your urine, right?

And you will get slimer and slimer, and feel very thirsty

Diabetes is because your pancreases already lost it function or deteriorate overtime.
causing your pancreases insulin not sensitive (insulin resistance)(prediabetic)... and this make your body glucose cannot absorb by your body cells.
this loop overtime making your body fat, both insulin and glucose are poison making your others organ to inflammation and other type of disease such as kidney deteriorate as well...and if you still do not take care your pancreases
then your pancreases eventually malfunction and lead to diabetes because pancreases cannot produce any insulin anymore.

Again I am only referring to TS post saying that he is losing weight.

But losing weight quickly is not a good sign, besides feeling thirsty. Because his body failed to convert the glucose into energy.

No need to drill down to glucose and or pancreases.

Chapter 18 Bone & Joint Infection will be related to your diabetes. I hope you will recover from the infection.

Meanwhile, Dr Paul in his book The Gift Nobody Wants may provide you an uplifting recovery.

That’s the reason why I lost 20kg

No matter how much I ate keep losing weight.. because since I don’t have enough insulin, it burn 🔥 too much energy.
*
Your body is burning its muscle due to the inability to utilize glucose for energy. The rapid weight loss is due to muscle being denser than fat. In reality you're at a critical stage & need to correct the situation asap.

Hardly any sweet stuff. My palate is spicy stuff. Daily 500ml coke, if not coke 1liter soy milk. Eat late every day nasi goreng, lack of sleep, lack of exercise as i was an multimedia guy. Bad lifestyle. When young it feels like no problem, later change lifestyle, but later may be too late.

You already know bad lifestyle yet you are posting this at 2:47 am instead of sleeping.

You are eating too much carbs. That is leading to insulin resistance. Cut carbs and replace it with vegetables, protein and some fruits.

Cut processed foods and eat unprocessed foods.

sorry to say bro, sole reason you got diabetes is the daily 500ml coke. do you even research how much sugar is inside that 500ml coke?

baffles me when you say hardly any sweet stuff and next to it is 500ml coke. lol

If his body "can't utilize glucose", the only reasonable explanation is because of the Randle cycle. Otherwise glucose metabolism is part of the citric acid cycle, which every cell is capable of. Losing weight does not at all mean the body is unable to utilize glucose.

Actually, that's absolutely applicable too. You pee vitamin because your body doesn't want it. You pee the water because you body doesn't want it (or rather, don't want the stuff in the water), same for protein and you should hope you're not peeing carbs, because that means you're diabetic.

Ok, since you want to insist fiber is necessary, tell me how it is digested by humans.

what increase blood sugar level is food. ideal bmi is to make sure ur organ can work flawlessly. u dont need to wait until slim, to off medication. u can off medication asap as long as u can avoid food that can increase your blood sugar level. u need to have that deep knowledge. many diabetic people dont have that deep knowledge. and even if they have the knowledge. does they willing to sacrifice or not their appetite?.

dont eat outside. cook at home. less sugar, less salt. then u can reverse any disease. problem with most people is they always want to eat outside.

Its the lifelong discipline that most diabetics don't have. The urge to overindulge in sugar is strong and changes required in life that makes it difficult to start and maintain for life.

second thing after exercise is no more palm oil

comparative study of consuming palm oil and not, shows the effects of palm oil consumption.

dont just look at studies that analyzes the compound without the complexity of how the human body metabolizes it.

third, is no fructose syrup

I can take meds to control if I chooses but as long as it is still below 7.0, I will not take it. Exercise, eat less rice more vege, oats every morning and take less sweet stuff, that is okie for me.

this law , among others, chills medical studies of palm oil effects in malaysia

but it is not stopping independent scientist outside, from conducting their tests

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefo...=liver+palm+oil

that's why liver disease is so prevalent in msia (fatty liver etc...) . Even among people whom you don't expect to get. (Slim, physically active people, young adults...)

and liver damages can cause diabetes

i dont see any MPOB publication refuting this, compared to how they are always on the pounce when it relates to heart health

Fasting blood sugar for last 1 month with weekly finger prick ranges around 5.6-6.4. last HbA1c reading is 6.0 I think late last year.

This is considered pre-diabetic, considering that I have siblings with diabetes? How to improve situation without medication?

Currently doing 16hrs IF on weekdays only which helps in controlling weight. Still recovering from plantar fasciitis since last Oct, hence very little to no exercise.

Problem with food is eating out. Hard to control card intake.

Diabetes very easy spike inflamation.. hence plantar fascitis is one of it. Inflammation jam down there..

Maybe start statin lowering cholesterol to reduce inflammation first

Cook at home bro

Or just learn to control?

I got no issues not eating carbs - rice/noodles/bread etc etc although I love them, just think how much problems my family has to go through caring me is enough

For exercise, since foot related maybe swimming or upper body (weights)

I just need to move, no need to do all those crazy things

Don't think it's diabetes related as I think I was at pre-diabetes level for donkey years as far as I can remember. This foot condition only triggers as I was doing some exercises without much warming up.

The only thing that surprises me is how long this condition is taking to recover. GP was saying it could take up to 1 year to fully recover. I didn't take any injection. Just some foot stretches and ice packs but even that forgot to do it quite often.

Pls take care, I lost 4 toes recently. Spent almost 100k trying save it, but still lost it. I have been struggling for 4 months, still not over. Still on Antibiotics to save the remaining big toe. Dont let the toes lose the sensitivity, thats the start of something very bad.

Also to other diabetics, if you do see any inflammation or pus on your toes, please dont see ortho specialist, wrong type of Dr. Immediately see a good Infectious disease Dr, the know how to save your toes. I lost mine because the first Dr I saw was a Govt trained Ortho in private. Bad Choice.

Trust me, the bacteria today are very, very strong and resistant. It can take 6 weeks of CORRECT IV antibiotics to try settle (Can recur anytime even after treatment) a bone infection (Which happened to me within a week of first symptoms)

To all diabetics and pre, take care. The bacteria easily get into your system and its very, very hard to get rid off.

Congratz to u, but would like to tell u that too drastic reduction like this is not good at all. U wont be able to sustain it. 5kg/month is way too fast.

Now that u have started taking carbs, make sure u control it. The real challenge is not the first 5 months of reduction, but is the subsequent 6 and 12 months of maintaining it. I have seen so many examples in my real life that a drastic reduction will end up the original size again 1 year down the road.

Pls take care, I lost 4 toes recently. Spent almost 100k trying save it, but still lost it. I have been struggling for 4 months, still not over. Still on Antibiotics to save the remaining big toe. Dont let the toes lose the sensitivity, thats the start of something very bad.

Also to other diabetics, if you do see any inflammation or pus on your toes, please dont see ortho specialist, wrong type of Dr. Immediately see a good Infectious disease Dr, the know how to save your toes. I lost mine because the first Dr I saw was a Govt trained Ortho in private. Bad Choice.

Trust me, the bacteria today are very, very strong and resistant. It can take 6 weeks of CORRECT IV antibiotics to try settle (Can recur anytime even after treatment) a bone infection (Which happened to me within a week of first symptoms)

To all diabetics and pre, take care. The bacteria easily get into your system and its very, very hard to get rid off.

I got ya, but what currently doing is quite sustainable
From the start I never really take more than 2 meals per day

Prior was literally carbs + less than 2k/d

Now 20k/day + protein/veggie/fruits

Just very very basic

No carbs, sugar (basically not much process food)
2x meals/d

The portion wise, take your normal portion of chap fan and remove the rice. Essentially will become calorie deficit.

Lmao you take meds to lower the diabetes, you would regret very soon. Do you not know how many guy has fallen into this myths. Med only cure the symptoms not cure the root, the root cause is your weight and hypertension, not your mental stress, but the stress of your emotional eating that stress your body to digest them. But as usual who doesn’t want easy and cheap fix like taking some med and call it a day, the hard way out is not take med.

Under 5 months I've lost 24kg

24kg x 7700kcal = 184800kcal

184800kcal / 5 x 30days = 1232 kcal per day

Too bad, 1232kcal/day is three times more than 500kcal/day, you are practicing some very unusual weight loss ever, I do not know what do you expect, but it is something no sane person would emulate.

Few cardinal sins you have commited into
1. Take meds instead of doing the hardwork
2. Listen and believe to the bs the doctor has to say, think the doctor is god and religious belief that can trust.
3. Loss ton of weight at abnormal rate, can cheat us but you can’t cheat yourselves.
4. Got fool again by thinking you can cure the diabetes, it has no cure, it can reverse, reversal the symptoms is not cure, you are doing the losing endeavour.
5. Give more and more excuses to justify you are doing fine, nothing could goes wrong by listening to the expert that you trust like he is a religious leader.
6. Also the blood report didn’t promise anything but has a disclaimer note that telling you it is just for research purpose, if you believe on it like a religion you are on your own.
7. Keep doing exactly what is the step by step guide like everyone else. Because those step are easy to follow compare to hardwork, yeah, just do everything easy why even try hard.
8. More and more excuses and data to fool more and more people, wasting more and more time to do more and more feel good feedback but still not going to do the hardwork.
9. Need to say more? More mental gymnastics would not lead to nowhere, but wasting all your time for doing the only right thing you need do, but still it is easy to not do hardwork, so just cling on every shortcut and easy fix as much as possible which also make you happy and not suffering.
10. Do need to say more? 100 more to say? 1000 more to say? 10,000 more to say? Good luck.

Why cant do both, take meds and lifestyle change? Then review medication over time.

If dont listen to docs, listen to who? Can always question and probe ask when given advice by doc, no need listen and follow blindly?

They do have a needle, it's a continuous monitoring system
But each module last only 2 weeks generally

So you'll be paying that amount every 2 weeks

Good lord, gratz man! Ive got the beetus for years now. It might be in check but it never occurred to me to immediately start dieting and fight back as soon as you got diagnosed.

What kind of expensive diets did you do? Cut off rice immediately? To be cured in just 5 months after diagnosis, thats freaking awesome man!

No carbs. Be it rice, noodles, bread etc etc
Occasionally potatoes. Once a month cheat meal - Nasi kandar/beef noodle soup/ subway etc etc

No processed foods.
Not really expensive tho, actually saved monies cos no more buy bread/snacks/soft drinks

Now since nearing good weight ady integrating carbs again and the occasional cookies/bread

Exercise wise - around 10km walk

Such drastic weight loss means you have stretch mark and excess skin now?

The previous non-diabetic reading was how much? I need to monitor mine too.
Looks like it is safer to check every 6 months, if not 3 months.

Good Job. While you did not comment on original weight, but whatever it is, you have definitely put in tremendous effort in losing this 30kg++

i'm sure you feel better about yourself physically and mentally. keep up the good work. remember road to a better, stronger, healthier version of you is a marathon not a sprint.

as long as you maintain a calorie deficit you will be able to continue to lose "fat". and if you watch what you do, it will become a habit and automation, you will be able to maintain your weight and not "bounce back"

Wish you all the best and continue sharing your journey to inspire others.

Oh it is not about that. I strongly believe it helps you feel like you can do it if you set your mind to it.

It is something I watched on a fitness content creator. Feel good because 你已经很厉害了
