I know it looks like type 1 but it is not yet known.
Anyway apart from metformin I get slow.And after the famous 16 of 16, when I went to endo, which had passed just under two months, another glyc and Di 7.5 made me.Taking into account that glyce is 3 months and had not passed 2, getting out of 16 to 7.5 is a very good sign.Apart as I have commented, the freestyle with measures of the last 84 days calculates a 5.2 glyc.
All this tells me to be the guy, the slow treatment with metformin, my current diet, and the exercise I do, I am great, with what I am now super calm.
I am aware that diabetes evolves and perhaps in the future I will need other treatments, but today, I have greatly improved.
Thanks for worrying.

This is excellent that you comment.The medicine + food + exercises is working well!congratulations!.By the way, what exercises are you doing and why time and frequency?

That is true in countries like Mexico, in Spain there is 850 or 1000 mg, apart from mixtures with other medications, none of sustained release.
The tablets can leave for their slot, perhaps there is a difference between the 2 halves but is insignificant.
The idea is that after taking metformin it will increase the entry of glucose into the cells while staying active, then it is eliminated by the urine.It is better to take it when food is ingested so that the action is "fresh" but I do not see incorrect accumulate at breakfast and dinner.
@isabelbota I bet for type 1, in addition to this diabetes it is better to increase control even more uncomfortable, use oral antidiabetics for several years with high glycosylated is to buy ballots for the raffle of complications.

I am not sure that the metformin discarded the glucose through the urine, I tell you this because I have taken metformin for several years and in the ego studies (general urine exam) I did not come out of sugar in my urine.On February 22 the doctor declared me official DB2 and adjusted the treatment.The metformin rose a little and sent me another medication (Dapagliflozina) and said: With this when you urinate sugar in the urine, you will take it for 2 months and then we see if I go down the dose.And indeed, I have been studied for a month and in the origin I have 1000 mg/dl .... with metformin there was nothing, or there was little (50mg/dl)

Sustained release do you mean immediate release?or prolonged?Here in Mexico there are 750, 850 and 1000 prolonged release.of 500 there is immediate and prolonged release.There is discrepancy in the doctors in terms of when metformin mustThe doctor says, I take at night and another at breakfast.

Sustained = delayed = prolonged.Pharmaceutical and Atlantic things;)

You ask me about what I do and tell you.
Eating, as almost everything but rice, that one day I tried it and went up to 250 at one time.
As legumes, pasta, fish, even potatoes ... but all previously cooled, because I read that the starch that transforms into sugar, if you cooled to at least 4 degrees, breaks its structure and transforms into a resistant starch, difficult to digestand that it passes glucose to the blood.I read it and I firmly believe it after all the things I have tried.In fact, the only time I tried the rice was recently done, I have to try it cooled before.
You notice that if I like a lasagna (cooled before) the peak I give is 140, less than with the fruit, for example.

Of course, not as sweets, cookies, bread only at breakfast and little ..

Then I walk an hour every day and I am also walking to all the things that I was going by car (buy, etc).
If one day I arrive high at dinner time (130 or more) before I take another fast walk of 20/30 minutes and already low to 80/90.And then Ceno.
My hobby is golf and play on weekends.Now that I measured what is with an app, every time I play 14 km ..
But there are days during the week that between my one -hour walk and then the things I have done on the street I have walked 15 km ...

That is, for me the secret is to cool the food (put it in the fridge or freeze it and eat it another day, never just made) and walk.

Anyway, this gives me clues to think that although it seems otherwise I will be type 2. Leaving the sweets and doing only this I am very good.Type 1 is not so easy to control.

On the other hand I am now stopped and I have a lot of time to walk.I don't know when I work how I will organize, but I will have to get time to walk because it is going wonderfully.
You are type2, right?How are you doing?

I take rice very rarely today (2-3 times a month, very small and integral portions), but whenever I take it I do it after it cools and feel a lot better ...

@isabelbota just seeing what has lowered the HBA1C, of ​​course it is to be "happy."You may be lada, mody or type 2 ... In the end each person is a world.

I am also going everywhere, every day at least 45/60 minutes (before the pandemic a little more), but it kills me all the rest of the day sitting in front of a computer ... I also haveA job with strong stress peaks, which surely does not help anything ...

I have been funny about golf, I've been thinking about trying it, that I have a field next to the house hehe

@anif
The sitting ...
This appeared to me when I was studying oppositions.The famous hour went out to walk because the rest of the day was sitting.And then when debuting, because I thought about continuing to do it, of course.
Following the fast glucose drop I have been a month and a half seeing blurry (normal, going down from an average of almost 500 to one of one hundred and peak in a week to the lens it cost time to get used to it) and therefore, without studying.And so far I have been linked with an issue that had me moving all day.But in a week I have to study again, we will see how the body takes it ...
Regarding golf I recommend it without hesitation.I know that he has a pijo, elitist sports image, etc., etc.
Not at all, at least in normal environments.It also hooks a lot, you know people and walk in nature.Having a club next if you can, to see if there is any group and try it.
I started to fill a hole (two friends of mine wanted to try a course and it was for minimum 3 people) thinking that that was not with me.Well, they left him at the end of the course and I, 13 years later I'm still hooked ...
You never know.

@isabelota that curious what you say about hot and cold rice.There is a doctor in Tik Toks who explains that hot rice rises more glucose than cold rice and many make fun of it.I begin to believe that you are right.

So have you not defined your type of diabetes yet?

Thank you for asking, I'm going well, I'm with my medicine, feeding better and exercising daily.I started walking 15 minutes a day, then I went up to 30, now I do 45 to 1 hour walking daily, at first I walked 1km, then 2 now path 3 to 4km and I am even jogging.In addition, now I take a lot of water (2 to 3 liters daily) and I like it.that is, there are 3 changes that I consider positive (water + exercises + food).The 22 I have an appointment with my doctor with studies to see how progress.I hope well, I'll tell you.

Good morning.
You don't have to eat cold food, it is to cool it previously.That is, I make pasta today, I leave it in the frigo and the as tomorrow.Or freeze it and the other day.Before eating it heated in the micro.
Apparently the starch when lowering 4 degrees breaks the structure and becomes resistant.You can warm it whenever you do not pass 180 degrees and it is still resistant.That is, we must not eat cold food, only that it is not just made, but at least the previous day, which has already gone through the cooling process.
I'm glad you do well.And that you consider the positive changes.
I also consider the positive life changes.I have a healthier life than before that story and it is best to keep the good.
Well, you will tell us when you are going to review and that I am at the end of the month I will discover what kind of DM I am.
Greetings.

Thank you.I have read that hot rice is not "good" ... look: " rice starch once cold is digested much less and more slowly, which tells us about the presence ofResistant starch that satisfies more, has a lower glycemic index, can favor intestinal transit and be key when losing weight, since we can even get less calories than with its consumption "

That's right, you have to be positive and consider the changes we make are good, for our good.

I make the changes for my health and because I want to live many years healthy for my family in general, especially wife and children, who are boys.

Good afternoon.
I have diabetes of diabetes Lada three years ago, I take three metformines of 850 a day.For a long time that I have a kind of vomit episode all day and discomfort, which added to my fibromyalgia puts me in a lousy state.They tell me that it could be for metformin, does anyone else happen?

I psaba myself about the nausea that disappeared, I still have diarrhea, it is a lot of metformin you are close to the maximum, do not combine it with another medication?

I don't but nausea and digestive disorders a lot.It may be of metformin but you must consult with your doctor and if you are a lad type it may be advisable to go to insulin

If you have doubt with the secondary effects of metformin stop taking it a couple of days, you will see if you show ... if you are afraid of glycemia those two days take care of the diet a lot and make aercice

Metformin does not give me vomit but side effects such as diarrhea.3 Metformines of 850 a day may be taking effect on your body.I know people who can't stand even 500. Tell your doctor, since there are other medications, not just metformin.For example I am temporarily using a mixture of metformin with another (which makes the excess glucose go to urine).

In addition, he had already commented that there is "normal" metformin and there is prolonged release that is gradually released and apparently the effect is not so drastic.But only the doctor can adjust the dose or the type of metformin.

I have already taken the slow insulin and have prescribed metformin, in a half principle at breakfast and dinner and in 15 days go to one and one.

Tonight I got wrong, with diarrhea and then a very strong belly pain.A lot that this did not happen to me, the symptoms pass?There is no other medicine?It is horrible, it also happens to me that I do not want to eat, I do not know if it will influence that I am eating little or that, tonight I have only eaten mango because I did not feel like anything else and I do not know if that will have influenced the pains,But during pregnancy I have ever drew fruit because I didn't feel like anything and nothing has happened to me

They are the typical side effects of metformin, it is assumed that over time they are paan, I was the same at the beginning and ended up disappearing

Let's hope why I had many gastrointestinal problems and since it seemed that it had happened to me and I have been a lot of great months in that sense, now again.Life is very conditioned

Hello.Ask your doctor if instead of taking "normal" metformin you can take prolonged release.That falls better in the stomach and in fact the effect is more durable, since it is gradually released

They withdrew it because I not tolerated her.In fact, what I take does not even carry it despite being the first treatment option for type II
