The whole thing about 'alternative treatments' is a crock of bullsh%t.
- when it works, it workspascii
- but then, i think it must be different in the rest of teh world than herepascii
- when it works, it's probably from an 'actual' treatment instead and purely coincidence. Because it's BS.monospaced
- Of course, stay with pharma companies' endorsed treatments, ridicule scientists who offer other treatmentsraf

My dad has had diabetes for about 18 years so far. Lately he's been managing it (well, better than he normally does). He still needs to lose a lot of weight though. He's not obese or even close to obese but losing weight will definitely help him out significantly.
Just make sure you change your health around, make it your priority in life. Seriously. These computer jobs sitting at a desk makes you forget that when you were younger you had gym class everyday.
It gets pretty bad for him sometimes with the shaking and all. It runs in my family too but I haven't gotten it yet. I can't imagine having to inject myself with insulin all of the time.
Good luck.
- "He still needs to lose a lot of weight though." That probably means he's obese. Sorry.monospaced
- Nah. Not obese at all. He's about 6'4" and 260 lbs. Not 'that' big.fyoucher1

- you don't have to be big to be obese. If you have little muscle it doesn't take much to be in the danger zone.Amicus

Did he mention diabetes? Or did he just say "Come in to discuss the results?"
That could be anything from "You need to lower your cholesteral" to "you have diabetes" to "your stillborn twin is feeding off your liver." Kind of a range.My dr. told me to come in to discuss. I was convinced I had dick cancer or something. Turned out I had Epstein Bar. So, you never know. Just relax, mang.

At 36 I really doubt you'll have type 1, which is good because you would be in it for the long haul. Type 2 you can keep at bay with exercise and eating right so if you have to have it type 2 would be the lesser of two evils.
If you do get diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or 2), get serious about your health. Diabetes can wreak havoc on your blood vessels and other things causing some serious health issues later in life.

- That chart probably doesn't factor in muscle and bone density which is a much heavier mass.fyoucher1
- well, its not an exact chart. Youd need to see a doctor. But there are 3 separate, widely accepted formulas on display here.baseline_shift
- the fact of the matter is that most people are average. In bone density and muscle mass, so this is fairly accurate.baseline_shift
- I would look skeletal if I weighted 155... and i"m 5 foot 10.... I did weigh this much after a bike accident once, couln't eat without pukingvaxorcist
- well what do you weigh?baseline_shift
- I am 15-20 kg overweight thenraf

I'm Type II, coming up on six years - exercise, serious diet maintenance and listening to what your body is telling you (I didn't and nearly bought it) and it is very, very manageable - I'm 53 years old and never healthier. Good luck!

I'm 22 and i've had type 1 Diabetes since the age of 5, can get annoying from time to time but when you've lived with it from an early age you don't know any different. Live my life like anybody else, get to eat what i want, as long as i compensate with insulin shots, and do what i want, as long as i keep my sugar tablets on me. Hasn't ever stopped me doing anything!

Diabetes is no joke. My mother in law was diagnosed with prediabetes so I did a lot of research looking for info to try and help her. I was totally clueless about glucose and the body and I surprised to learn that foods made with predominantly white flour were as bad as sugar. You might really have to mod your diet if that is your diagnosis. I try to eat foods that are lower on the glycemic index. I think it is a healthier way to eat anyway.

I'm a type 1 diabetic. I've had it since I was 12 so I really don't remember much of life without it. It's kind of a pain in the ass, but like alex102, I haven't let it stop me from doing anything I wanted to do. From threesomes to climbing a 14k foot peak covered in ice. I recently got on an insulin pump, which is great, I highly recommend it.
Unless you're feeling the symptoms you might be a little premature in your self diagnosis.. I think a lot of doctors want to talk about results in person just so they can pop one more invoice in the mail, but seeing as you have family members who have it, you're probably well aware of the symptoms.
I'm guessing that your family has type 2 diabetes? Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.
