Sorry to hear that... Hopefully you're gonna be fine.

I think the toughest part is gonna be the first month of diet change lol

But I'd much rather do that then getting shots

you got this!

Eh, you'll be fine, my averages around 250-400, you just need a bit of resilience built up, some water and a shot~ X3

noooo shots lmao

I started the med yesterday, and it dropped me to 158 which was great. It shot back up tho, because I currently don't have anything in the house that would be deemed good to eat for diabetics xD
I'm sure I'll be able to keep it down once I get some shopping done.

No it happens every hospital visit your blood sugar plummets because they over reacted then your body over reacts dumps a load of its reserve sugar into your system and shoots back up, its a roller coaster i do my damnedest to avoid, its like clock work you could bet a billion dollars on it every time and never lose~

Hope the shopping goes well~

I'm sorry to hear that but thankfully it's fairly manageable! I feel kind of bad now for sending you that hard candy. Heh.

I can still eat it! (I have been) I just can't eat a ton of it at once or like, all the time lol

They're good candies bront.

Bront?

Brontosaurudramon. *sticks out necky*

Dang sorry to hear that :(

Yeah, it sucks, but I'll get through it I'm sure :0

At least it's manageable. ^_^ Best of luck adjusting to the new diet, and hopefully you feel good as new asap.

Maybe I'll actually stop being tired all the time! (I'm actually hoping for this)

It really should help that. I know my family (loooots of diabetics in my family) has issues when their sugar goes wonky. My grandma can fall RIGHT asleep while eating when her's goes.

cheeee o_o

Well I hope I don't do that lol

lmao, my roomie's dog has it too xD

Sorry to hear that but I know how you feel I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic a few years ago and my black cat is also a diabetic.

never seen a diabetic cat, im sorry about that >.o

yeah you don't see them very often but they are dificult to care for as i'm finding out as of late.

I’ve been able to control mine via diet.

It’s not easy at first, but it can be done. ^^

That first month is gonna be killer lol

My first piece of advice, is watch the carbohydrates.

Those affect blood sugar the most.

aye, yeah, once I make an apt for the social worker, I'm sure they'll tell me my carb limit which will make things easier

Indeed, and certain kinds of carbs also have different affects.

Carbs usually found in fruits, dairy, and wheat will raise your sugar, but not too high.

Carbs found in potatoes, white bread... will spike them real high.

Aww I'm sorry to hear that. *offers hugs*

*hug hug*

*all the Sugar free hugs*

I have it too. I didn't start taking care of it until my sugars were in the 400s & was told i had a severe case of ketoasodosis.

You'll be fine, but sorry to hear. Its a depressing disease.

Aye, it is, but I'll get through it

Keep on top of it and stick to the diet. It's not hard to keep your numbers down once you get them headed the right way.

I’m type 1, but still in the honeymoon phase so no shots yet.
Please take care of yourself! Diabetes is rough if you don’t watch it.

I'd much rather change my diet than have to get shots, so it's a no brainer for me XD

Just shoot it with a shotgun like Wilfred Brimley does...

....what?

You know. Wilfred Brimley. The tough son of a bitch who doesn't let anything slow him down, not even "diabeetus."

I'm at risk for genetic diabetes which sucks. But watch what you eat and watch your sugar and caffeine intake.

My mom was gestational diabetic with me, which is most likely why i'm dealing with it now

Mhm, I have it running on both sides of the family which ultra sucks. But I do tend to avoid sweets and don't really like drinking soda all that often.

Damn that sucks. Wishing you the best!

Damn, Sorry to hear that.
But as everyone else is saying, it''l just take you a while to get used to the new diet.

I will eat all the sugar in my dreams~

We love you Felis! You can do this <3

Oh man im sorry to hear that
I hope things Will go well tho for you uwu

I'll be okay, i'm sure!

OAO good god! Well at least you're ok now right? And I don't blame you I hate needles too.

needles are the spawn of satan

They are. My mom was a phlebotomist when I was young. She used to draw blood.

It isn't easy to live with but you can do it! Take care of yourself.

I've had type 2 for years. One stupid pill once or twice a day is nothing. Just be sure to take a copy of your prescription along when you travel, just in case, especially if you go by air. The big pain is taking your blood sugar. It gets to be routine, but pricking your finger for a drop of blood always stings a little.
Don't worry, you'll be okay.

yeah, i have to get my roommate to do it, I physically/mentally cannot prick myself @.@

The pill is definitely not bad

One day you'll have to. You'll be at a con or something or your roommate will be away. It will take courage the first few times. When you realize that it only hurts a little bit and only for a moment, it will start to get routine. That's how it was for me anyway. Ask your doctor or social worker about drawing blood somewhere other than a fingertip; fingers are sensitive, wrists and elbows not so much. Be sure the doodad is set to puncture as little as will still give you a decent drop of blood, that also makes it hurt less.

i use the side of my finger and not the pad. It came with a forearm pokey thing too, but im fine with finger

So do I. I had a meter once that came with a forearm cap, but I never figured out just how to use it., it's a little more complicated and the instructions weren't too clear. I use a Bayer Contour Next One now and the lancet doodad that came with it. It's okay.

I hope you find a way to keep it under control. I'm glad to hear that it isn't too serious. I wouldn't be able to do the shots myself. O.o

same lmao

I plan to keep it in check to the best of my ability so i dont have to do shots

No more late night bags of sugar or cotton candy ah well

xD

It'll be change, but it's manageable, and not impossible.
I believe in you <3

Well dang. Glad it's manageable and you're not keeling over though! Glad you can avoid the shots, too!

Oh goodness, I'm sorry to hear that! It is good that you don't need needles, though. Also, with all this diagnosed, hopefully you will feel better than you have been! < : D

I found out I have a fatty liver last year, it makes it difficult for me to regulate my blood sugar. I don't have diabetes, but I'm at risk for it.

snippity snap dude that sucks.. also i agree needles suck a big fat one

*scoops up into COLOSSAL snuggle hugs* you got this hon, we are here to help however we can

Sorry to hear it - I've been dealing with the same for years.

If you get that insurance - SEE AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST. General Practitioner and Nurses are good - not good enough. When I finally saw the specialist, he practically cringed at the drugs the GP had put me on... that I'd been on for several years. They were EFFECTIVE, but they'd done more damage to my body than necessary.

Don't try and bring your sugars down TOO fast... that way likes headaches and nausea. A week or two is sufficient time to get it to normal ranges. You CAN have a blood sugar crash at 150... if your body is used to 2 and 3 times that. (first day on meds)

I'll deff keep that in mind. I gotta see about the insurance before anything tho. I already know this first bill is gonna be a doozy

Eep.
:(

Kudos on actually getting yourself examined before matters escalated.

Wishing you all the best! My sister was diagnosed last year.

I am really sorry to hear that :( everyone in my family has it except for me but I have been told I can still get it at any moment at any time so its kind of a shadow that follows me and haunts my haunts at times

*thoughts* misspelled there

I belieb in you purple thing. You can do the stuff.

Better to know than to not and keep living life without a limit.
