Am on peritoneal dialysis. Basically I get to dyalysis at him & no needles involved!! Yes I have to do it 4x a day everyday, but that’s ok. Am waiting to get trained on some machine, that’ll do the dialysis at night while I’m sleeping 😁

Wow! I am stage 4, trying to avoid dialysis. What pill did the damage? What kind of dialysis are you on?

Yes quite a few do not go on insulin. But on same token, it really depends on the person! Also not everyone get the complications!!! But, for me, I’m glad I went on insulin!!! It did what pills weren’t doing, and pills did as much damage as they were helping me - long story short I am now in kidney failure & on dialysis

Some T2s never need to use Insulin ... my mom was diabetic for 40 years and never needed to go onto or use Insulin or any diabetic medication, and she never had any diabetic complications.
