I was able to to keep things under control by diet. I was diagnosed
when i was 19 and in Nursing school. 8 years ago my husband passed away,and i had 3 children in College. So my drug of choice was food. Stress and food added 90 lbs. Which started Diabectic 2. Last May i hurt my foot ending up in the hospital for 6 weeks,it really scared me.I lost 90 lbs. bettter than foot it was hard.How long were you on the meds before the made you sick?? Avandia droppped my sugar so low,i got sick and swollen feet. After other tries,the 1 that makes alot of people sick Metformin worked,but the diet is so important. Do you have a Diabectic Center in your Hospital if so i feel they can give you more time. We all are so different,i'm so sorry you are having a hard time. I have polyneuropathys so my problem was exercise,so i do streching in the morning,in the afternoon i dance with my walker ok stop lauging and yoga..I wish i could be more help but at neurotalk,there always seems to be a answer that comes along. You are not alone. Sue |

Hi Dianna, first I have a few questions for you:
Are you following a low-carb diet? Are you eating small amounts of food every 2-3 hrs? When do you test? Before meals? 1-2 hrs after meal? Are you eating fruit? What are you drinking? diet sodas? Consuming anything with aspartame or other artificial sweeteners? Are you walking? Getting any other exercise? Do you eat as soon as you get up? Have a snack before bed? Did doc put you on meds right off or suggest diet/exercise control first? I'll try to help you but I need to know your eating/testing habits for more info. I've been living with type 2 for about 10 years now. I tried Metforim, didn't work for me cause the pills made my legs hurt. I control with diet & have some tips for you after I hear back OK? Later,Buttons |

thank you buttons
I was on diet at the start but the control was really bad so that is when they started me on the metforman and of course that made me so sick, then they have tryed all the other meds as well but with no results, l am on diamicron mr that does nothing for me, l was on 4 of them but with no result, now the last try was the levimir insulin and 2 diamicron mr, the levemir made me so nausea's, now she has another tablet advandiamet tryed that caused gastro ,she now wants me to try protophane, I will go and pick that up tomorrow but I am at my wits end, I am so sick of trying all these different things with no results,and allways feeling sick, I test before and 1-2 after meals, also l follow a low carb diet and also have fruit and veg very strick diet also exercise, my son has been a diabetic type 1 for 20 years but that doesn't help me, I drink diet cordial and water mostly,now and then I have zero coke, I have breakfast when I get up and also I have supper at night, I also walk everyday.I don't really have much artificial sweetner if I do it is splena. |
