Possible type 2 diabetic?

Hello everyone,

I introduce myself, my name is Paco and well, I summarize them.

A few days ago I decided to recognize me since I had not done any in years and with 50 Q I had.

On the 9th I went to the doctor to see the results and a disaster.The glucose theme threw 109 (on an empty stomach) and the gyted 6.5, so the doctor directly told me that these data are of clear diabetes patient and that should put me medication, since next to this TB comes the high cholesterol and for more inri, I have a history of father and brother with DT2.

Even with all this, he decided to do another analytical in 4 months and put me treatment for cholesterol (I don't remember the data) and see the glucose theme in the next analytics after giving me instructions regarding food.

I do not know what to wait for the truth now, I am very clueless on this issue and by background and age I see very clear that I am/I will be diabetic, and for that reason to enter this forum.

How do you see it from your experience?

Thank you!!

@Hammer33, welcome to the forum.
I don't know much of type2, but it may be low in hydrates and getting weight, the controls improve and you can free some time of medication.Lossing one kilos, the pancreas can work better.
It returns within four months to see results and if another treatment is needed.
Exercise is also important, at least walking one or two hours a day.
That you better, it's not so difficult.

You have stuck it, the doctor's instruction were those "control of hydrates and sugar".If it is true that my habits until the day of the consultation were not the best with my 3 daily coffees with their sugar, my bread bar, chocolates with milk tb daily and eating as if there was no tomorrow ... what yes,It is that Pornsuerte with the weight I am not very past, maybe I have 5 or 6 kilos.This is why so many doubts come to me ... the pain is that the day of the consultation, when everything comes from surprise you do not assault all the issues of blow and you are seeing with the days ... I suppose I have no choice but to waitAs of September and there, bombarding the doctor according to what comes out.Thanks Regina

@Hammer33 Welcome.
Type 2 diabetes is not only related to obesity (example: I have and 50 kg weight).It is true that it causes insulin resistance, but type 2 can also be diabetic with normal, without resistance, due to excessive feeding that makes the pancreas a lot and damages it.
Your 6.5 glyce is diabetes, but we are asked to have it between 6 and 7, so that to be diabetic it is not very bad.
Try to lose those kilos that have plenty of and control the food and exercise.Surely you go down.
And to see what they tell you.And ask your doubts here, surely we can help you.

@isabelbota thanks for the welcome.Well, notice that I did not relate diabetes to be weight, if I related it to the cholesterol theme (in my case the "good" to the limit, the "bad" past and the total total also), and
It turns out that investigating these days I have seen somewhere that uric acid (which tb I have a little high without drinking alcohol or being all day eating seafood hahaha) is or can be an indicator of the start of diabetes.Do you know any of this?
The food theme I am controlling it quite a lot getting many things at the root, and with the exercise, I will have to see how to get more time to dedicate, because moving I already move a lot but it is obvious that I must do it more.
In another order of things, brutal this forum, I am soaking and the truth is that it helps a lot to understand many things

... and now I ask:
It would be possible that in my next analytics give a "normal" glyc?What would that mean?
I mean, it is possible that in an analytics I can be diagnosed as a diabetic and the next no longer?Because I am clear now is that that that diabetic is forever.

The issue is that if you give a normal glycan based on making a non-normal life your rdos are good but your diabetes is there, you have not cured it.
I explain: a non -diabetic if an excess is one day the body responds with insulin and does not go up.No diabetic, so the way of having good results is not doing excesses.Therefore, diabetes in principle is forever.Of course, it can be under control, but putting means (diet, exercise, medication ...)

Hello, if you say that you are left over 4 or 5 kg they may be of belly that would be visceral fat.
Even if you are not fat on the outside you can be fat inside, if you have a lot of fat and little muscle.
Statins (for cholesterol) are diabetogenic medications, that is, they produce insulin resistance.
The best thing you can do is eat differently, reducing hydrates and not refined (pasta, bread, rice, all lonque this echo with flour .....) and exercise, but not just cardio, not just go out to walk.
Train strength to improve your muscle mass that is the one who eats glucose and eliminate lipototixicity (fat infiltrated in the muscle) and will also lower visceral fat and as a cardio complement, walk, run, bike ......
Do not make a diet with start and end, make a change forever, exercise and stay active and according to fences you will improve the pills that put you.

I can say that I started much worse than your 12% yn2 years later I do not do not medical, 5.2% I have changed my habits and my way of eating, and for example Mother's Day for breakfast a piece of cake, at 2Hours (postpandrial) had 100 sugar.
The first year was very restrictive, the second was relaxing.
I no longer do the follies before taking 1l of Coca Cola, or eat a donut package while I make the purchase, and the truth is that I do not miss it.
In 2 years I have removed 10 years (or so people tell me)
Get a season seriously, think that you have been doing all the vine making it lonque you want that for 6 months or a restrictive year you will not die, then it is maintenance

IFrom the mother breakfast a piece of cake, at 2 hours (postpondrial) I had 100 sugar.

It is very rare because diabetes 2 can control it but it is there..... If you eat well and exercise very clearly that you control it, but if you eat a complete cake, you will not have 100 glucose

@isabelbota @otabol @matrix thanks to all for your comment, I am in total learning mode and any contribution is appreciated, and much !!!It is clear that I must make changes in my habits and that I am, it is not difficult for me, I am attentive to the hydrates reducing them enough, no sugar ... in short, healthy healthy.As for the exercise, I move a lot but what I said in a previous message, I will have to get time to do something else.It will seem nonsense but only in a week I have noticed loss of volume just by controlling food.
Regarding the medicals for cholesterol, fuck, I had no idea that you tell me @otabol, I trust what the doctor prescribed me because she is knowledgeable of my analysis and my "problem" with sugar, I will still throwA look at the prospect.
The goal is clear, the next analytics !!!It is clear that leading the life that I am taking something must be noted, and if I can take it controlled even for a few years I cannot ask for more.
It is clear that excesses are paid and now it's time to change habits and way of life.

Statins, more is the benefit than the risk, but there is, it is best to take care and stop needing them.
It is clear that at the beginning you will need medications, if you settle for then you will continue with them, if you put from you then you will reduce or remove.
That of controlling it a few years ....... there are people who will tell you that this has no solution, if you are looking for Google you will see that there is the remission, doing things well and with "maintenance" you will not have problems.
But you know that what you have echoed until today has brought you here, if you do well, you say it is and you return to the same because you already know where you will end up anothervery.

I can't eat a whole cake, not, years ago I would have done it.
As well and I go to the Gym 2 or 3 times a week, an hour maximum and I am more active.
What I say, now maintenance but to get to this was a year of work.
I get up on an empty stomach in 90 hours after eating Coma Lonque coma never more than 120, I yansion in the remission, especially with little diagnosis time, so I put it here to give a push to the newly diagnosed

Well, those are good news, if you get up with 90 and after eating you have 120 glucose, it is excellent.Surely the next glycosilada will come out with good value.But do not abandon, keep exercising, controlling food, lower carbos, eat well and don't abandon.Also from time to time it goes here to share the good news that is always liking everyone
