Do You Hate Being Called "Diabetic"?
Every 5 years the leading experts in the treatment of Type 2 get together at this big conference and make changes, based on new information, to the "consensus guidelines" that are used by the EU, UK and most of the Commonwealth and the United States, that become the national medical guidelines

How Is Diabetes Defined In The Medical Community?
All of us here have either been diagnosed with Diabetes or have someone close to us that have been given the news
So what is the "criteria" that separates us from Joe or Jane SugerEater?
Currently it is simply having an A1C, above 6.5% (47.5 mmol's in the IFCC scale) "twice in a row" measured 90 days apart

Maybe I am just not finding the answers "I want" versus the the plain truth. I have a suspicion that the lower gi tract can cause issues if you are type 1. At least I found a small bit of correlation that it could be related to type1 just through different blogs and posts. These bouts will last about 4 to 5 days and then gone like… read more

Do You Worry About The Wrong Thing?
Over the past couple of weeks I have read a number of posts where people are hesitant to take a diabetes medication that was prescribed because they read of the potential side effects and are somewhere between uncomfortable or outright afraid
Your concerns are valid and you should discuss them with your doctor but you should also know that the Doc didn't "just decide because" when they wrote the script and it was in response to your blood work that showed you "need" the meds to manage your… read more
