Hello,
As a good impatient I was already around the forum looking for answers without having presented myself so proceed.
I have been diagnosed with DM2 about two weeks ago although I already suspected that I was in prediabetes since when I am going to see my mother (DM1) I take the opportunity to do some tests with reactive strips and glucometer.From that moment I decided to use and go out to give good postprandial walks with good results.The issue is that as I did not stop doing the coffee with the food because it re -incided in high blood glucose values.
Years ago I had a lot of sports and ate quite a bit since I did not fat but for some years I left that sports routine, although I did not sufficiently reduce food routine.I am currently 54 and to be sincere I had thrown the towel in my health.The last 20 years have been a roller coaster of night parties, hangover and dissolutive life.Yes, very fun, but it doesn't go on account.Having a restaurant was not one of the best decisions of my life, not because I have not enjoyed in the kitchen, I have enjoyed cooking, I am passionate about the kitchen.But oh!The nights that come after cooking services.And oh!The bad way to feed myself.You will have heard that in the house of blacksmith stick knife.Anyway, I will not go into details.But that lifestyle has clearly not helped.
Some time ago I made the decision to cut with alcohol, tobacco and everything else, which has been a great advance.This has caused that in certain situations I have supported me in the food looking for that feeling that dopamine gives.But from a time here I am taking it something more seriously and paying attention to the important, although I have not clearly struggled what is necessary to avoid the point where I find myself.I tell you all this so that you have an idea of my lifestyle, because I firmly believe that apart from the cases that are given by pathologies, congenital issues, etc. (I speak from the most absolute ignorance) this disease is given in manyLifestyle cases, for a bad one specifically.At least in my case, my bad habits of life, food, exercise, dream have marked the path to this point.
After my latest analysis with 7.5%HBA1C values, in addition to other borders (slight hypertension, out of range transaminase, hdl cholesterol idem of idem, etc.) The doctor prescribed me metformin 850 mg and told me to take half a pillLunch and middle dinner by increasing entire pills.It also took Eutirox 75 for hypothyroidism (for 10 years) as well as Simvastatin 20 mg for a little less than a year.Type 2 obesity with a BMI of 38.
From the same day of the diagnosis I increased the walks in time and distance trying to maintain a good rhythm.And in fact, and this is frustrating, I increased the force exercises with the bad leg that I have revived an ancient sports injury in the spiny supra of the left shoulder, a real headache especially to sleep.
As I suppose that it will have also happened to you, from the moment of diagnosis I have tried to be up to date looking for information and thus I have reached the forum.I am motivated and optimistic but to see how the disease evolves.
I do not know if I must continue taking metformin at the main meals, since the doctor told me to do so for side effects.Which I suffered the first week but today I don't feel.I wonder if it will be possible to take both pills in the morning and so forget or if it will be better to take one in the morning and another at night or continue as the doctor told me.I await your opinion about it if you have been able to read so far.
And nothing more, we will get to know.I usually be active in the forums and I really like to help if you are inMy hand.Thank you for being there, since when there are changes in life it is good not to feel alone.
Greetings ;)
