Medications

I present myself:
I am 61 years old, 4 bypass and I have a diabetes of 120 average approx., My problems, as a lot, and also a lot of bread.Milk with calcium.I'm quite quickly (1 hour, 6 km approx.).
What kind of diabetes do I have?Can I download it less?What medication should you take?For how long?It is compatible with the others that I take (Adiro, Ezetron, Cardyl 10, Masdil Retard, Omeprazole and Diafusor 10.
My doctor is not a friend that I take more medications, but on the other hand, despite eating very healthy, it does not lower me from 116/126.
Please advise me, thank you very much.

Hi Pepelu

First, no idea if you have diabetes.In case of having it, it would be type 2. Technically, the glycemia that you put (Masmenos 120) are indicators of a "prediabetes", although in my opinion it is already a diabetes.
The fact is that, the first "traditional" measures taken are: diet, exercise and reduce the weight.

Regarding the diet, which elevates glycemia are carbohydrates ... but at the same time they are necessary for daily functioning, it is recommended that 40 or 50% of the diet be based on carbohydrates (pasta, flours, milk, fruits ... basically, everything that is born from the earth are carbohydrates).
It is advisable to consume the slow absorption hydrates and with a good fiber base that further slows down. In this link you have a lot of information:

As for the exercise, I believe that in your case a daily continuity is recommended more than a high intensity ... better to walk every day at 70% than 4 days to 90% effort.

The medication must be prescribed by the doctor, mandatory, with 120 figures (I understand that they are always fasting figures, glycosylated hemoglobin should better look at: Link ) It is not mandatory to guide medication ifWith diet and exercise it is controlled.

Adiro is "aspirin", the Ezetron I do not know it, the cardyl is for cholesterol and the rest are related to your coronary heart disease ... I understand that an oral antidiabetic would not interfere in any of these medications, but it is better that this value itThe doctor.

Hi Owash:

Thank you very much for answering so well and as soon.
I give you my latest shots, always fasting, recently raised:

Indeed, it must be prediabetes, but for my arterial problems I must be very careful, right?
Diet (I make healthy meals, low in fat and salt, and practically without sugar, although I ingest about 5 pieces of daily fruits -kiwi on an empty stomach; orange and a half after eating; apple after dinner; and a 0-0 a half a yogurt to averagelate).In the main half -day and dinner meals, as a lot of quantity, varied and with appetite.I drink approx.1.5 l.of water a day -mainly a glass with each pill.
Exercise: Normally, 5 days a week, I am quickly 1 hour;approx.The 5 kms calculate.The other 2 days, I go to the heated pool, swim an hour (at a moderate rhythm);and in coming and going 20 minutes on each journey.In the afternoon, an average of 5 days, I am another 15+15 minutes to moderate rhythm.
Weight = I have the right weight 67 kg for 170 cms.high, very little for what.
Ezetron 10 mg, is also for cholesterol.
In principle, I plan to continue informing myself of glycosylated hemoglobin;Slow absorption carbohydrates: Continue taking glucose and if I continue at these levels, request an appointment with the endocrine or educator.
Do you think all this do you?.
I repeat, thank you very much.

What you do is fine, and your figures are good (very good I would say those of blood pressure).

As for blood glucose, you have only 1 moment of the day: before breakfast.
To see how the pancreas works and have more complete and accurate information, 1 full profile is recommended.
A profile is to measure glycemia 1 time every day but at different times:

Monday.Before breakfast
Tuesday.2-3 hour after breakfast.
Wednesday.before meals
Thursday.2-3 hours after food
Friday.before dinner
Saturday.2-3 hours later dinner
Sunday.Between 2 and 4 in the morning (this is optional, perhaps in your case it would not be necessary)

Before meals you should be between 80 and 120 ... and after meals below 140-160.

I agree with you that you should visit an endocrine to analyze all the variables very well (glycemia, hypertension, cholesterol etc ..) and that paute or not medication.
After that he asks for an appointment with the educator nurse and that they explain the topic of food well.

• Type 1 diabetes (destruction of β cells of the pancreas with absolute insulin deficit).
• Type 2 diabetes (progressive loss of insulin secretion generally accompanied by insulin resistance).
• Gestational diabetes mellitus (DMG) Diabetes that is diagnosed in the second or third trimester of pregnancy.
• Diabetes for other causes (for example: mody, cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, medication induced diabetes).

• Fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dl (not having caloric intake in the last 8 hours).
• Plasma glucose at 2 hours ≥ 200 mg/dl during an oral glucose tolerance test.The test must be performed with a load of 75 grams of glucose dissolved in water.
• Glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C) ≥ 6.5%.This test must be carried out in certified laboratories according to the A1C standards of the DCCT.
• Patient with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis with random glucose ≥ 200 mg/dl.

As you have already answered that decision about making antidiabetics you have to take a doctor.No doctor is a friend of having hypermedicated patients but when they tell me that I have to eliminate some I answer that I tell me which one and they are already back.I am 67 years old I was diagnosed by type 2 with 30 and I started with the oral antidiabetics at 35 and insulin at 50. I take all the medications you name and some more because there are several pathologies since I had suffered a stroke, of which I have a small sequel that I notice only me, even mener syndrome, passing through cholesterol, hypertension, etc.And I have no problems with any medication.

In my personal experience (eye each body is a different world and the one that best knows it is yourself) the levels that indicate would be lowered just by decreasing bread intake, in the end you get used to it, and it would happen to the half -nacked milk.It would also increase the intake of water and more with the time in which we enter.

Good luck and first of all that you know that with diabetes you live if you give the attention you need.
