I was diagnosed with diabetes type to last Thursday (10/21) and everything you went through is exactly what I'm feeling. I've been watching UA-cam since Thursday like a mini-series. They literally gave me a prescription, a list of foods to avoid, told me to exercise and be back in 3 months. They literally told me to Google. I could go on and on but your video speaks my perspective 💯. Although I'm a man. I am mentally determined to not let this rule me. Thank you for sharing and I pray you're still making it work! ✊🏾
I went into a deep depression… I was scared. Still am and had terrible anxiety. I think I cried for a month. I literally felt like I have an old person illness and I was gonna die. I know it’s sounds dramatic but I can relate when you said it’s super stigmatized. I felt like people would look at me and feel sorry for me. I still get bad anxiety. Thank u for this video. It’s hard for me to still talk about it and not feel ashamed.
I'm so glad I found your video and I hope you are doing well..I just recently last week was diagnosed with Type 2 as well...I was also waking up every 1 1/2 to use the bathroom, very thristy, went to work one day and felt light headed and dizzy so I rushed to the E.R myself but made it safe and my blood sugar was 546 and a1c was a 13, I am now on insulin and taking metformin, I'm not going to claim this forever...I will revesr this..I'm not on a low carb diet (keto) and will be exercising a lot.
Here’s my judgement on you...sweet, direct, beautiful, and clear desire to learn and pass on knowledge to others. I’m sensitive to t2d because my mom chose to go untreated for 8-10 years to stay skinny and eat whatever she wanted. It took her leg and then her life. I will stay a follower if you are honestly trying to turn the t2d around. I just can’t watch another person go through that again. I wish you all the best and am saying a prayer to God for healing in your body. God bless you ♥️♥️♥️
Ella Swick truly this made me tear up. I have so many goals, but the biggest one is a complication-free life and to be healthy enough to get pregnant. My family is so important to me, and I want to do everything I can to be healthy for myself and for them. Your comment means the world to me, and I’m so glad you watched ♥️.
Mila Buckley are you following the keto way of eating? There are so many wonderful doctors that post videos on keto and carnivore ways of eating. I’m so happy you are being conscious of your health. ♥️♥️♥️
Yes! I love keto and intermittent fasting and it has done wonders for my blood sugar! I'm really glad I found it, and there's so much information about doing it the right way!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was diagnosed a week ago (found out while I was in hospital) with type 2 diabetes as well as congestive heart failure. This has been eye opening and very scary. I'm happy to see this story on youtube as it shows I'm not alone. God bless you and anyone else dealing with this.
Thank you so much for commenting Lisa, and I can't imagine what you're feeling right now. I hope you know you're not alone and I'm here for you if you need anything.
This is a lifesaver for me. Thank you for openly sharing all the things I am feeling. I was just diagnosed a week ago and it was terrifying. There are not enough resources and you really don’t get enough guidance out of the gate. And the stigma is real. Keep doing things like this. You are making an impact! ❤
Mila, this video is so wonderful. I work as a diabetes pharmacist and came to youtube with my patients in mind to see what type of support is available out there. And you are exactly right, there is such a lack of representation for people living with Type II diabetes. Thank you so much for being brave to talk about this aspect of your life to help erase the stigma.
This makes me so happy to hear! I'm hoping to share more videos next year. I actually ended up finding out I was misdiagnosed and have LADA, so there's an interesting one about that coming! I appreciate you so much as an HCP looking for more ways to support your patients.
You make such good points here. I've always thought that the real reason why people like to chip in on type 2 is because they finally have a way to start talking about the person's weight and eating habits. I think thats fine if it's from someone who truly loves you and they are genuinely worried. However, people sometimes don't have enough brain cells to understand that everyone has different body types and metabolisms. I'm overweight and at risk for type 2 diabetes because of PCOS. All my adult life, I have spent it watching what I eat but yesterday, oh my god to my horror, I discovered that if I had that extra piece of fruit, my blood sugars rise quickly ... Fruit man. My point here is, I know people who are much thinner than I am but eat 3 times more than I do and all of it is junk yet they are slim. This just goes to show how sometimes, people don't bring type 2 onto themselves like thinner people like to believe we do. Anyway, I'm not diabetic yet, I'm pre-diabetic and I stick to such a strict way of eating. I hate it because in order to stay in this pre-diabetic state, I have to do things like not have an extra piece of fruit after just eating lean chicken, mostly salad and 3 little pieces of potato. Yay. Urgh, sorry for the rant, your video is brilliant 👍
I almost thought I had written this. Sounds a lot like my story. I'm pre-diebetic. Do you also struggle with fatigue, noodle like body (muscles) and brain fog? I do hope your condition gets better and find a good balance of fruits. Low glycemic fruits like kiwi and berries seem to have the least amount of sugar. Get well!
A little late, but I'd leave a comment anyway. I was recently diagnosed with prediabetes. There's a lot of information now out there and it's wonderful. I am scared of what could happen. All I can do is take it one day at a time. I've changed my eating habits and exercise more. I've lost about 10 pounds since my diagnoses. To me that's a huge win!
Thank you for this video, I was diagnosed yesterday and have been crying ever since. You video has really helped me so far as you’ve been on repeat. Thank you for confirmation that this too shall pass and this lifestyle is stigmatized but manageable!❤❤❤❤
Was diagnosed with Type 2 a month ago with HBA1C of 7.4. At first i was also devastated but my doctor advised that this is reversible and refrain from eating sugary things and repeat test after one month. Came back did some research, totally stopped taking 4 things Sugar, Rice, White Flour and Potatoes. Started doing exercise daily for half an hour. Got my results on 30.9.2022 and my HBA1c has dropped to 6.5 from 7.4 without the use of any medication and my goal is to bring it down to 5.4. So now worries you just have to change your eating habits and will see results.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Three months ago, I went through the same thing as well with my primary care provider. I was told I wasn't diabetic...and that was that. No warning of how dangerously close I was to being diabetic. I was told to see a nutritionist to work on my eating, and to be more active, and to check back in three months. This month marks the third month, but there was a schedule change with my provider. So I got to see a different provider who was available, and she was really sweet and empathetic when she shared the news with me. Hearing the words, "...you have type 2 diabetes", felt like a death sentence because I'm so set in my ways. But now I really need to change my life around, because my life depends on it.
They did the same thing to.me .I left the hospital not knowing anything about type 2 diabetes. How to deal with it..finally realized I could go to a diabetes specialist..I got blessed by getting a dr..who believes in whole food and work me off the medication..but your totally right..they don't give you any information..it's was scary
I was diagnosed last week. Before that, I was finding myself very thirsty, especially wanting soda. I was also getting up multiple times a night to go to the bathroom.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I have just recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, no idea I had it until I woke up in the hospital from DKA. My BS was 1800 so thankful for my mom and husband taking me to the hospital. Because I could have died. Anyways I will be following you for some helpful tips and kind words. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh my goodness, I can’t imagine how bad you must’ve felt with bs that high, but I’m also so glad you had your family there for you in such a scary moment. I am so glad you’re getting better and happy to help. I found out I was misdiagnosed with type 2 a couple of years after making this video (I have another type of diabetes called LADA), but it’s treated similarly to type 2, so I have lots of tips to share! Take care of yourself and I’m here for you if you need it 💕💕
This spoke to me. When I found out I had T2D (as well as my then-14 y/o child), I wept then got angry. I, too, jumped online and found Dr. Sarah Hallberg’s 2015 TEDTalk. I, too, overhauled my life (but I utterly changed everything I was taught growing up regarding food security/food storage) but it freed me. I often say that if I hadn’t received that diagnosis in 2016, I would not have had the tools to survive Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis in 2017. It’s July 2022 now and I’m NED but through dietary change, I’ve changed my life. I’ve lost over 80# through dietary change alone. Now? I’m Ketovore/Carnivore and loving life.
I was just diagnosed today at 34 years. I am very familiar with diabetes and living with it as several people in my extended family have had it since I was a child. Since diabetes is already prevalent in my family and I’ve been feeling a lot of symptoms I wasn’t completely shocked by the news but it is still a lot to take in. I am excited to talk about this diagnosis and my journey moving forward on my own channel soon
This was such a great story. I am here because I was diagnosed with Pre Diabetes and I was looking for inspiration, motivation, information and I found you! Thank you:)
Hmmm , I was diagnosed with diabetes 4 days ago when I noticed I was peeing excessively at night and craving cold water . I was just planning my life trying to get into a healthy relationship . Then bang, I was told I have type diabetes . All i heard in my ears was weeeeeeeeeee..... i couldn't hear anything else that the doctor said after that, all i was thinking was how do i get married now, how do i have healthy kids, what i have done to my life, i was eating healthy in 2015 with juice diet then i had gallstone, i prayed for almost 2 years, i refused to do the surgery eventually the gallstone left in 2018, then in 2020 i got caught up with covid 19 and couldn't breath on my own for 8 days and i was admitted. 8 nurses was assigned to me and eventually the doctor said they've tried everything and said i don't want to see myself on the ventilation. On the 9th day, i started breathing on my own and i was discharged immidiately, all glory to God . Fast foward 2022 now, am diagnosed with type 2 diabeties now , i cried , because all my life i always feel like i was running away from something, now am alone, confused and tired and I have no idea what to eat. So i checked on youtube for the excessive urine symptoms some say i need to eat 2 eggs a day to stop the urine , but when i investigated the disadvantage of eating eggs , it was no good. But with the same God that took me out of covid, healed my Gallstone with no more gallstone attacks will also be the same God that will heal this type 2 diabetes in Jesus mighty name i pray.
hearing your story and then reading your update we have similar stories at 23 years ago at age 29 i went to go get a nerve conduction test after complaining about numbness and pain in both my hands and feet. I remember the doctor who was going to do test started to become really concerned that I had diabetes so she gave me a form to get blood work after she did the nerve conductipn test and yes my bloodwork was horrible and yes i had neuropathy. i remember my A1C was 18.2 or something horrible like that... but because of my age the endocrinoligist refused to put me on insulin and insisted i was type 2 not type 1 despite my acttive lifestyle and healthy diet. my morning numbers were crazy high like in the 200s. even though i was doing my best to eat well and small portions watch my carbs etc.. but this doctor would accuse me of lying.. I put up wih him for over 10 years until i woke up one morning and couldnt see everything was murky. at that point i had developed proliferative retinopathy my 2nd diabetes complication and had lost quite a bit of vision. the endo still refused to put me on instulin for i finally fired him and went to a different doctor and clinic. I was type 1 all along and the doctors were appalled at this others behavior its been about 10 years sincee i been on insulin and I been doing so much better. there is so much stgma with this desease. more so with type 2 but even the type 1s get judged. I also come from a culture GReek decent that once any of the older generation hears im diabetic from such a young age. They gasp and assume im not taking care of myself. i find myself theying to explain the difference to thembut now i cant be bothered.. truth is whichever type of diabetes you have its not our fault we didnt bring this ourseelves. We just eiher dont have functioning pancreas or our bodies treat insulin like its a foreein entity that needs to be destroyed. we didnt get this from eating a bad diet or too much sugar if that were the case more and more people would hsve. It makes my blood boil when i hear someone say you got this because you ate too much sugar. No i got this because my pancrease stopped working or my immune systeem thinks iinsulin is the enemy. I know its lenghty but i totally feel where your coming from annd wish we all just got along and not judge
GOD BLESS You my name is Ervin Thomas and I want to tell you are not alone almost all have this condition like us in our country also we find better ways to commute with each other with companionship my love God Bless for speaking out for billions of us that have this condition Love you from NJ
This is the exact type of video I was looking for! My best friend was just diagnosed and I wanted to find videos of people talking about their diagnosis and adjustment to their diagnosis so I can try to understand this time for him. Thank you for this!!
Thank you for this video. I was diagnosed today. I know absolutely nothing about the details of diabetes. My doctor called me today and called in metformin. I think I’m gonna wait til after tomorrow to start taking it (Thanksgiving) in case the meds make me sick. What scares me is all the side effects of the pill I already have and I’m afraid it will make it worse. Best of luck to you and again, many thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video! You are so informative. I have type 2 also. I had to go to the hospital and found out there. It was really high. They started me on insulin right away. Thank you again for your story.❤
Thank you for making this video. I haven't been feeling well for many months now. I've been sweating profusely as if I just got out off the shower with my clothes on, everyday. I got a blood test last week and recieved a call from my Dr. They ordered me a glucose meter because my A1C was high. I didn't understand just how high it was. I finally got it approved by my insurance and just picked it up yesterday. My first blood sugar reading was 359. The Dr had told me she wanted it under 120. I tested myself every couple of hours just to see what it was doing. I was averaging in the 350ish range all evening. This morning when I got up it was the lowest at 236. I proceeded to test my self every couple hours and my lunchtime today it was at 415. I called the dr office to let them know and they immediately told me I needed to take a oral pill in the morning as well as insulin injections. I also have been searching for a UA-cam person that can help me understand. It seems like this is so unexpected. This is how I found your channel and I just wanted to say thank you again for making this video.
😭Im so sorry sister im getting tested tomorrow wish me luck sis, though i think i have it. also your life is worth more than your job so please take care
Thank you so much for sharing! I am trying to soak up information because doctors don’t tell you anything. I am researching and trying to reverse this disease. That is my goal. Thank you!
Sounds like what they did to my mom. She knew that she had diabetes but at Easter 2013 she got double pneumonia and it was waring with her diabetes. Her blood sugars went all the way up to 44 deadly high as I'm in Canada and anything over 10 is high. She was in a diabetic coma for a while and when she woke up the doctors said she had to start taking insulin. They showed her how to inject on an orange but not how to do it on an actual person. They didn't show me or my sister how to do it either. We were very upset after picking up her insulin and realizig that we couldn't do it until we could get help. Then my aunt realized the pastor from church was diabetic and on insulin. He came right over and showed her how to prepare it and then gave himself an injection to show her. Then he watched her prep the needle and that. He asked if she wanted him to inject it first. She is terrified of needles by the way. She said no that she had to get used to it. She got it ready and injected it all by herself with him watching. We were lucky to have him there to show her and us how to properly give herself the injections. Now I'm on insulin myself. I used to take 6 plus injections a day. Almost 5 years ago now I got my first insulin pump which lasts for four years. I've had my second insulin pump for almost a year now! Its a lot of work and I get grief sometimes even from type 1 diabetics some of them telling me that I shouldn't use an insulin pump that just diet and excercise would make it go away an dlosing a bunch of weight. My doctors said that for me I'll always be on insulin as my body is only type 2 because it makes less then a percent of insulin. So because type 1 body makes no insulin and mine makes a tiny tiny bit I'm considered type 2. Sorry this is so very long
I just want to thank you for your video on using the one touch app! Because of your video I got one and it has made a huge difference! I had a hard time logging on my own and this has made it easy! Thank you for caring enough to share your story!
Just got my diagnosis yesterday. I have to do a complete haul of what I do and eat. Every symptom you described, I have it: thirsty, shaky, etc. My doctor asked if I had questions, offered pills and an diabetic educator… I still shocked and scared…
I have had a long time. My mother and her Mother and her Mother had it. I never had shame. Lately I lost my Mom to heart disease and I have not been taking good care of myself. I am literally in the bathroom every 30 minutes. Bottom line you have to give up alcohol, sugar, and limit your carbs and exercise. Definitely helps you to live a healthier lifr
You are a beautiful woman! How did you get over the carb addiction? I also can eat so much and not feel full. I will update everyone after my dr appointment tomorrow. Remember to care for people the way you would like to be cared for. 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I just love you!! It’s so much like what I’ve just gone through and I’m having such a difficult time with all of this. So thankful I found you on here❤️
I'm so sorry that you've been going through this, and I wanted to let you know you're not alone. There are so many of us out here, and I think more and more people are telling their stories. I'm glad you stumbled across this video. We all understand you how you feel! Reach out anytime if I can help.
I found out in the hospital I had type 2 diabetes last week, idk I feel scared just been thinking alot. Symptoms I had was dry mouth, thirsty, weak and going to the bathroom alot.
I'm newly diagnosed with type 2, I kn a good bit about it I see no shame in it so many ppl have type 2 , that's for sharing I kn it's been a few yrs since you made this
You've got this! This road with diabetes SUCKS, but day by day you learn how to live with it, and how to thrive with it. If you ever need help, I offer free diabetes coaching, and a support community on my app called Glucose Guide.
Be strong. I don't know how am I doing it but I'm injecting myself and I feel like the worst part is pricking my fingers every day 3 or 4 times a day. One day at a time, people will not understand and don't expect anything from them, take care of yourself and now is the time to be a little greedy with your time.
I'm in medical field. I saw my blood work and symptoms increasing and still bypassed it. Now on Metformin and a statin. On top on 4 others. Feeling rough about it because I knew but let it get to point where I'm too exhausted to motivate myself.
I know it's hard. Hang in there! Just curious also - you were diagnosed young, were you ever given the antibody tests? I recently found out I was misdiagnosed.I was never given the antibody test to confirm.
You can do this. Get some activity in each day and watch your carbs. You'll see a difference in no time. You are young, you have so much time ahead of you. You've got this.
I was diagnosed with type 2, 2 months ago and I understand you 100%. Take it easy, I know it's hard, you will never get used to it because I'll be lying if I say that you will, but you're going to learn how to live with it, my advice is: try your best to eat healthy, include nuts and fruits onyour diet, make sure to have healthy snacks like apple and peanut butter. Sadly my friend no more pizza, no pasta and 0 burritos 😭 Check your sugars before every big meal like breakfast, lunch and dinner and no more because it can drive you crazy, unless you need it. This is my schedule 6am-9:30am breakfast, 10am-11am snack, 11:30am-12:30 lunch, 1pm-3p snack, 4:30pm-6:00 dinner, 7pm-7:30pm snack and sometimes I eat a healthy cereal with no sugar, fruits and unsweetened coconut milk around 8-9pm. I hope this helps, the hardest part is pricking our fingers and injecting but you will see that injections are easier. I'm talking from my experience. If you need help or if you need to talk to someone I'm here. I'm with you and I know all of this could be overwhelming and hard to process but like I said you’re going to learn how to live with it, I promise.
People with type 1 diabetes must use insulin because their pancreas isn't producing it, but people with type 2 (as you know), are also users of both long acting and short acting insulins. I also didn't know that people with T2D used insulin.
I'm honestly so scared rn, I have more than 60% Of the symptoms and I've cried more than I ever have finding out more ab it, and I'm getting tested in a day. I don't know how to cope with all of this and I'm really hoping its something else (though its unlikely)
Yeah, I been prediabetic before and got it down to the point I was normal. Unfortunately, I think I been slacking on my nutrition this year. Even though I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, my weight has increased in 3 years. It started to go up when I stopped taking hypertension meds. But I still tried to stay on a low carb diet. However, I have had some days which were complete failures. My anxiety and fear of knowing if I have it or not, kept from seeing the doctors. I also have a phobia of doing bloodwork. Finally cave in and went to the doctor the other day. Did my bloodwork. Now waiting on results. Best case scenario: All good. I'll even accept: You're prediabetic. Worst case: You have T2D. I'm so anxious and scared. I remember years ago when I was told that I was prediabetic, that I promised myself that I would stay on a strict low carb/sugar diet. I would do portion control. I take supplements that's suppose to help with blood sugar, but I hear supplements are useless. But now mad at myself for the times I slacked off. So far, I haven't any major symptoms. But I know overweight people who have received diabetic diagnosis, who had no symptoms at all. Best of luck with your results. I'm praying (and I'm not religious) for a positive diagnosis.
@@TheHangryWoman I'm also having a lot of highs and lows even tho I follow the Dr orders so I'm going to ask him about the 1.5 my next visit. I'm currently on 4 meds.
It's hard for me too i take invega trinza mental health injection once every 3months dat made me gain alot of weight and now im type 2 diabetic now i have to deal with being schizoaffective disorder bipolar type now t2d it's alot to deal with
@@TheHangryWoman 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you for the reassurance I'm having weight loss surgery next month I've been pre-diabetic for more than 12years but now this. My A1C was 6.7 and my Glucose is 110. I'm panicking but I've been researching to learn how to eat.
Unfortunately, never enough meds with the desired side effects such as weight loss. But, Drs. have no problem prescribing anti-diabetic meds that cause weight gain, while Insurance companies are more reluctant to cover weight loss meds. ironically, with the obesity epidemic, further exacerbating diabetes, it’s Sad! Better off going with all the natural remedies, whenever possible. Big Pharma continuously profiting off the most vulnerable suffering with chronic diseases, while there is proven science that there is a cure for diabetes in the works. Stop wasting your money on synthetic drugs that have unpleasant side effects that keep you in the diabetes trap for life. No one should have to live a life sentence. Diabetes, like cancer been around for a century. It’s about time they find a cure rather than managing a devastating life long disease and throwing away your money. Furthermore, no one should have to plead to be healthy
I was diagnosed but got no information so I’ve been living on UA-cam hahah I’m also Anemic and so I can’t take metforman but I haven’t been able to find anyone on here who can tell me how to manage both properly since I can’t take metforman and the anemia spiked my ac1 🤷🏾♀️ ughhhh
Thank you I just got diagnosed with type 2 and the same my doctor did not tell me anything, just take the medicine Jardiance it's making me sick the side effects. ❤😊 God bless you.
Hi I looked at your video today my name is Shameka hiI’m going through all the same symptoms but I don’t know what to do so if you can can you inbox me with some information
It's really important to go to your doctor and be screened for diabetes. They should check fasting blood sugar, A1C, and also labs like cholesterol, kidney and liver function and blood pressure. It's good to get all of that done annually, but sooner than later if you're having symptoms.
Let me start off by saying that I am so happy you reach back out to me I’ve been struggling with this crying just aggravated because if I drink just a little bit of water I have to go to the bathroom I’ll wake up at night going to the bathroom and cannot sleep trying to figure out what’s going on my mother is A sugar diabetic I try to access some of her symptoms but I just feel she doesn’t understand I’m so happy you I helping me with some of the questions that I can’t ask other people because they don’t understand but I’m noticing a change she said I was pre-diabetic when I went to the doctor I have a daughter and when she was like three or four they say that I was prediabetic so I’m not sure if I am failing to send them now than thenBecause when I went to get my blood work done she checked my sugar I told her I was having tingly in the hands and feet and I kept going back-and-forth to the bathroom it seem like she didn’t even want to do her job so now I am all over the place with this and I am struggling with it
Please see my updated video in the description. I was misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes a couple of years after I made this. I currently do eat a low carb diet to manage diabetes, but I will have to take insulin for the rest of my life since my beta cells are being attacked by my body. There is no cure or reversing type 1, unfortunately. While people can manage diabetes with a low carb diet, sometimes other things can be at play. I’m very glad that was a lifesaving change for you.
I was diagnosed with diabetes type to last Thursday (10/21) and everything you went through is exactly what I'm feeling. I've been watching UA-cam since Thursday like a mini-series. They literally gave me a prescription, a list of foods to avoid, told me to exercise and be back in 3 months. They literally told me to Google. I could go on and on but your video speaks my perspective 💯. Although I'm a man. I am mentally determined to not let this rule me. Thank you for sharing and I pray you're still making it work! ✊🏾
You can manage type two diabetes without meds.
Diet and exercise…. Lower your carbs in every way and obviously sugar. U wont need meds.
I went into a deep depression… I was scared. Still am and had terrible anxiety. I think I cried for a month. I literally felt like I have an old person illness and I was gonna die. I know it’s sounds dramatic but I can relate when you said it’s super stigmatized. I felt like people would look at me and feel sorry for me. I still get bad anxiety. Thank u for this video. It’s hard for me to still talk about it and not feel ashamed.
Same
How about now. Still alive

I'm so glad I found your video and I hope you are doing well..I just recently last week was diagnosed with Type 2 as well...I was also waking up every 1 1/2 to use the bathroom, very thristy, went to work one day and felt light headed and dizzy so I rushed to the E.R myself but made it safe and my blood sugar was 546 and a1c was a 13, I am now on insulin and taking metformin, I'm not going to claim this forever...I will revesr this..I'm not on a low carb diet (keto) and will be exercising a lot.
good for you sis,
what were your signs you had it
Here’s my judgement on you...sweet, direct, beautiful, and clear desire to learn and pass on knowledge to others.
I’m sensitive to t2d because my mom chose to go untreated for 8-10 years to stay skinny and eat whatever she wanted. It took her leg and then her life.
I will stay a follower if you are honestly trying to turn the t2d around. I just can’t watch another person go through that again.
I wish you all the best and am saying a prayer to God for healing in your body. God bless you ♥️♥️♥️
Ella Swick truly this made me tear up. I have so many goals, but the biggest one is a complication-free life and to be healthy enough to get pregnant. My family is so important to me, and I want to do everything I can to be healthy for myself and for them.
Your comment means the world to me, and I’m so glad you watched ♥️.
Mila Buckley are you following the keto way of eating? There are so many wonderful doctors that post videos on keto and carnivore ways of eating. I’m so happy you are being conscious of your health. ♥️♥️♥️
Yes! I love keto and intermittent fasting and it has done wonders for my blood sugar! I'm really glad I found it, and there's so much information about doing it the right way!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was diagnosed a week ago (found out while I was in hospital) with type 2 diabetes as well as congestive heart failure. This has been eye opening and very scary. I'm happy to see this story on youtube as it shows I'm not alone. God bless you and anyone else dealing with this.
Thank you so much for commenting Lisa, and I can't imagine what you're feeling right now. I hope you know you're not alone and I'm here for you if you need anything.
This is a lifesaver for me. Thank you for openly sharing all the things I am feeling. I was just diagnosed a week ago and it was terrifying. There are not enough resources and you really don’t get enough guidance out of the gate. And the stigma is real. Keep doing things like this. You are making an impact! ❤
Mila, this video is so wonderful. I work as a diabetes pharmacist and came to youtube with my patients in mind to see what type of support is available out there. And you are exactly right, there is such a lack of representation for people living with Type II diabetes. Thank you so much for being brave to talk about this aspect of your life to help erase the stigma.
This makes me so happy to hear! I'm hoping to share more videos next year. I actually ended up finding out I was misdiagnosed and have LADA, so there's an interesting one about that coming!
I appreciate you so much as an HCP looking for more ways to support your patients.
Been a diabetic since 2013. I found a ton of information after my diagnosis. Support groups are of abundance. The information has always been there.
Glad you found the support you needed. The path isn’t always the same for everyone.
You make such good points here. I've always thought that the real reason why people like to chip in on type 2 is because they finally have a way to start talking about the person's weight and eating habits. I think thats fine if it's from someone who truly loves you and they are genuinely worried. However, people sometimes don't have enough brain cells to understand that everyone has different body types and metabolisms. I'm overweight and at risk for type 2 diabetes because of PCOS. All my adult life, I have spent it watching what I eat but yesterday, oh my god to my horror, I discovered that if I had that extra piece of fruit, my blood sugars rise quickly ... Fruit man. My point here is, I know people who are much thinner than I am but eat 3 times more than I do and all of it is junk yet they are slim. This just goes to show how sometimes, people don't bring type 2 onto themselves like thinner people like to believe we do. Anyway, I'm not diabetic yet, I'm pre-diabetic and I stick to such a strict way of eating. I hate it because in order to stay in this pre-diabetic state, I have to do things like not have an extra piece of fruit after just eating lean chicken, mostly salad and 3 little pieces of potato. Yay. Urgh, sorry for the rant, your video is brilliant 👍
I almost thought I had written this. Sounds a lot like my story. I'm pre-diebetic. Do you also struggle with fatigue, noodle like body (muscles) and brain fog? I do hope your condition gets better and find a good balance of fruits. Low glycemic fruits like kiwi and berries seem to have the least amount of sugar. Get well!
A little late, but I'd leave a comment anyway. I was recently diagnosed with prediabetes. There's a lot of information now out there and it's wonderful. I am scared of what could happen. All I can do is take it one day at a time. I've changed my eating habits and exercise more. I've lost about 10 pounds since my diagnoses. To me that's a huge win!
Thank you for this video, I was diagnosed yesterday and have been crying ever since. You video has really helped me so far as you’ve been on repeat. Thank you for confirmation that this too shall pass and this lifestyle is stigmatized but manageable!❤❤❤❤
Was diagnosed with Type 2 a month ago with HBA1C of 7.4. At first i was also devastated but my doctor advised that this is reversible and refrain from eating sugary things and repeat test after one month. Came back did some research, totally stopped taking 4 things Sugar, Rice, White Flour and Potatoes. Started doing exercise daily for half an hour. Got my results on 30.9.2022 and my HBA1c has dropped to 6.5 from 7.4 without the use of any medication and my goal is to bring it down to 5.4. So now worries you just have to change your eating habits and will see results.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Three months ago, I went through the same thing as well with my primary care provider. I was told I wasn't diabetic...and that was that. No warning of how dangerously close I was to being diabetic. I was told to see a nutritionist to work on my eating, and to be more active, and to check back in three months. This month marks the third month, but there was a schedule change with my provider. So I got to see a different provider who was available, and she was really sweet and empathetic when she shared the news with me. Hearing the words, "...you have type 2 diabetes", felt like a death sentence because I'm so set in my ways. But now I really need to change my life around, because my life depends on it.
They did the same thing to.me .I left the hospital not knowing anything about type 2 diabetes. How to deal with it..finally realized I could go to a diabetes specialist..I got blessed by getting a dr..who believes in whole food and work me off the medication..but your totally right..they don't give you any information..it's was scary
I was diagnosed last week. Before that, I was finding myself very thirsty, especially wanting soda. I was also getting up multiple times a night to go to the bathroom.
Yes! The extreme thirst was crazy to me. I always felt SO thirsty.
is that the same as dry mouth?
@@catchwreck928 I’m not sure.
Same symptoms for me Holly
Thank you for sharing your journey. I have just recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, no idea I had it until I woke up in the hospital from DKA. My BS was 1800 so thankful for my mom and husband taking me to the hospital. Because I could have died. Anyways I will be following you for some helpful tips and kind words. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh my goodness, I can’t imagine how bad you must’ve felt with bs that high, but I’m also so glad you had your family there for you in such a scary moment. I am so glad you’re getting better and happy to help. I found out I was misdiagnosed with type 2 a couple of years after making this video (I have another type of diabetes called LADA), but it’s treated similarly to type 2, so I have lots of tips to share!
Take care of yourself and I’m here for you if you need it 💕💕
This spoke to me. When I found out I had T2D (as well as my then-14 y/o child), I wept then got angry. I, too, jumped online and found Dr. Sarah Hallberg’s 2015 TEDTalk. I, too, overhauled my life (but I utterly changed everything I was taught growing up regarding food security/food storage) but it freed me. I often say that if I hadn’t received that diagnosis in 2016, I would not have had the tools to survive Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis in 2017. It’s July 2022 now and I’m NED but through dietary change, I’ve changed my life. I’ve lost over 80# through dietary change alone. Now? I’m Ketovore/Carnivore and loving life.
I was just diagnosed today at 34 years. I am very familiar with diabetes and living with it as several people in my extended family have had it since I was a child. Since diabetes is already prevalent in my family and I’ve been feeling a lot of symptoms I wasn’t completely shocked by the news but it is still a lot to take in. I am excited to talk about this diagnosis and my journey moving forward on my own channel soon
This was such a great story. I am here because I was diagnosed with Pre Diabetes and I was looking for inspiration, motivation, information and I found you! Thank you:)
Hmmm , I was diagnosed with diabetes 4 days ago when I noticed I was peeing excessively at night and craving cold water . I was just planning my life trying to get into a healthy relationship . Then bang, I was told I have type diabetes . All i heard in my ears was weeeeeeeeeee..... i couldn't hear anything else that the doctor said after that, all i was thinking was how do i get married now, how do i have healthy kids, what i have done to my life, i was eating healthy in 2015 with juice diet then i had gallstone, i prayed for almost 2 years, i refused to do the surgery eventually the gallstone left in 2018, then in 2020 i got caught up with covid 19 and couldn't breath on my own for 8 days and i was admitted. 8 nurses was assigned to me and eventually the doctor said they've tried everything and said i don't want to see myself on the ventilation. On the 9th day, i started breathing on my own and i was discharged immidiately, all glory to God . Fast foward 2022 now, am diagnosed with type 2 diabeties now , i cried , because all my life i always feel like i was running away from something, now am alone, confused and tired and I have no idea what to eat. So i checked on youtube for the excessive urine symptoms some say i need to eat 2 eggs a day to stop the urine , but when i investigated the disadvantage of eating eggs , it was no good. But with the same God that took me out of covid, healed my Gallstone with no more gallstone attacks will also be the same God that will heal this type 2 diabetes in Jesus mighty name i pray.
Thank you for making this video. This is so important to try to break the stigma regarding #t2d
hearing your story and then reading your update we have similar stories at 23 years ago at age 29 i went to go get a nerve conduction test after complaining about numbness and pain in both my hands and feet. I remember the doctor who was going to do test started to become really concerned that I had diabetes so she gave me a form to get blood work after she did the nerve conductipn test and yes my bloodwork was horrible and yes i had neuropathy. i remember my A1C was 18.2 or something horrible like that... but because of my age the endocrinoligist refused to put me on insulin and insisted i was type 2 not type 1 despite my acttive lifestyle and healthy diet. my morning numbers were crazy high like in the 200s. even though i was doing my best to eat well and small portions watch my carbs etc.. but this doctor would accuse me of lying.. I put up wih him for over 10 years until i woke up one morning and couldnt see everything was murky. at that point i had developed proliferative retinopathy my 2nd diabetes complication and had lost quite a bit of vision. the endo still refused to put me on instulin for i finally fired him and went to a different doctor and clinic. I was type 1 all along and the doctors were appalled at this others behavior its been about 10 years sincee i been on insulin and I been doing so much better. there is so much stgma with this desease. more so with type 2 but even the type 1s get judged. I also come from a culture GReek decent that once any of the older generation hears im diabetic from such a young age. They gasp and assume im not taking care of myself. i find myself theying to explain the difference to thembut now i cant be bothered.. truth is whichever type of diabetes you have its not our fault we didnt bring this ourseelves. We just eiher dont have functioning pancreas or our bodies treat insulin like its a foreein entity that needs to be destroyed. we didnt get this from eating a bad diet or too much sugar if that were the case more and more people would hsve. It makes my blood boil when i hear someone say you got this because you ate too much sugar. No i got this because my pancrease stopped working or my immune systeem thinks iinsulin is the enemy. I know its lenghty but i totally feel where your coming from annd wish we all just got along and not judge
GOD BLESS You my name is Ervin Thomas and I want to tell you are not alone almost all have this condition like us in our country also we find better ways to commute with each other with companionship my love God Bless for speaking out for billions of us that have this condition Love you from NJ
This is the exact type of video I was looking for! My best friend was just diagnosed and I wanted to find videos of people talking about their diagnosis and adjustment to their diagnosis so I can try to understand this time for him. Thank you for this!!
You are such a encouragement and joy! Thank you so much! The stigma is so real that’s what scared me is feeling like I deserved this.
Thank you for this video. I was diagnosed today. I know absolutely nothing about the details of diabetes. My doctor called me today and called in metformin. I think I’m gonna wait til after tomorrow to start taking it (Thanksgiving) in case the meds make me sick. What scares me is all the side effects of the pill I already have and I’m afraid it will make it worse. Best of luck to you and again, many thanks!
My wife just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I'm helping her as much as I can. I'm a long time nurse Xellenial. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for making this video! You are so informative. I have type 2 also. I had to go to the hospital and found out there. It was really high. They started me on insulin right away. Thank you again for your story.❤
Thank you for making this video. I haven't been feeling well for many months now. I've been sweating profusely as if I just got out off the shower with my clothes on, everyday. I got a blood test last week and recieved a call from my Dr. They ordered me a glucose meter because my A1C was high. I didn't understand just how high it was. I finally got it approved by my insurance and just picked it up yesterday. My first blood sugar reading was 359. The Dr had told me she wanted it under 120. I tested myself every couple of hours just to see what it was doing. I was averaging in the 350ish range all evening. This morning when I got up it was the lowest at 236. I proceeded to test my self every couple hours and my lunchtime today it was at 415. I called the dr office to let them know and they immediately told me I needed to take a oral pill in the morning as well as insulin injections. I also have been searching for a UA-cam person that can help me understand. It seems like this is so unexpected. This is how I found your channel and I just wanted to say thank you again for making this video.
Watch the UA-cam channel "Beat Diabetes" It will really help you just as it does me!
ye s recently got diagnosed . trying to make huge life changes in my life , my symtoms was only eye pressure thats it
I’m so sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but glad to hear you’re paying attention to your health. Thank you for commenting!
😭Im so sorry sister im getting tested tomorrow wish me luck sis, though i think i have it.
also your life is worth more than your job so please take care
how did it go ?
Thank you so much for sharing! I am trying to soak up information because doctors don’t tell you anything. I am researching and trying to reverse this disease. That is my goal. Thank you!
Sounds like what they did to my mom. She knew that she had diabetes but at Easter 2013 she got double pneumonia and it was waring with her diabetes. Her blood sugars went all the way up to 44 deadly high as I'm in Canada and anything over 10 is high. She was in a diabetic coma for a while and when she woke up the doctors said she had to start taking insulin. They showed her how to inject on an orange but not how to do it on an actual person. They didn't show me or my sister how to do it either. We were very upset after picking up her insulin and realizig that we couldn't do it until we could get help. Then my aunt realized the pastor from church was diabetic and on insulin. He came right over and showed her how to prepare it and then gave himself an injection to show her. Then he watched her prep the needle and that. He asked if she wanted him to inject it first. She is terrified of needles by the way. She said no that she had to get used to it. She got it ready and injected it all by herself with him watching. We were lucky to have him there to show her and us how to properly give herself the injections. Now I'm on insulin myself. I used to take 6 plus injections a day. Almost 5 years ago now I got my first insulin pump which lasts for four years. I've had my second insulin pump for almost a year now! Its a lot of work and I get grief sometimes even from type 1 diabetics some of them telling me that I shouldn't use an insulin pump that just diet and excercise would make it go away an dlosing a bunch of weight. My doctors said that for me I'll always be on insulin as my body is only type 2 because it makes less then a percent of insulin. So because type 1 body makes no insulin and mine makes a tiny tiny bit I'm considered type 2. Sorry this is so very long
I just want to thank you for your video on using the one touch app! Because of your video I got one and it has made a huge difference! I had a hard time logging on my own and this has made it easy! Thank you for caring enough to share your story!
Thank you for watching it, and I'm really glad it helped. I always hope I can share whatever makes life a little easier.
Just got my diagnosis yesterday. I have to do a complete haul of what I do and eat. Every symptom you described, I have it: thirsty, shaky, etc. My doctor asked if I had questions, offered pills and an diabetic educator… I still shocked and scared…
I was just diagnosed and need so much support right now. I would love to connect with you
I have had a long time. My mother and her Mother and her Mother had it. I never had shame. Lately I lost my Mom to heart disease and I have not been taking good care of myself. I am literally in the bathroom every 30 minutes. Bottom line you have to give up alcohol, sugar, and limit your carbs and exercise. Definitely helps you to live a healthier lifr
You are a beautiful woman! How did you get over the carb addiction? I also can eat so much and not feel full. I will update everyone after my dr appointment tomorrow. Remember to care for people the way you would like to be cared for. 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I just love you!! It’s so much like what I’ve just gone through and I’m having such a difficult time with all of this. So thankful I found you on here❤️
I'm so sorry that you've been going through this, and I wanted to let you know you're not alone. There are so many of us out here, and I think more and more people are telling their stories. I'm glad you stumbled across this video. We all understand you how you feel! Reach out anytime if I can help.
I found out in the hospital I had type 2 diabetes last week, idk I feel scared just been thinking alot. Symptoms I had was dry mouth, thirsty, weak and going to the bathroom alot.
GOD DAMMIT IT I HAVE DRY MOUTH AND I FEEL WEAK FCK I KNOW I HAVE IT.
Diagnosed yesterday with T2 A1C is 6.7 I'm panicked.
I'm newly diagnosed with type 2, I kn a good bit about it I see no shame in it so many ppl have type 2 , that's for sharing I kn it's been a few yrs since you made this
Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. I had a similar experience.
I get so hungry ,my tummy starts hurting ,I literally feel it spasm from hunger ,it happens especially after I eat ,rice ,pasta or banana
Thank you for sharing your story. I just recently received my diagnosis over the phone.
Thanks a million for your encouraging words. I was just diagnosed a week ago. I'm terrified and I feel like I don't know what's going on.
You've got this! This road with diabetes SUCKS, but day by day you learn how to live with it, and how to thrive with it. If you ever need help, I offer free diabetes coaching, and a support community on my app called Glucose Guide.
Glad I found you. New to this. I love your sincerity. God bless you.
I'm type 2 again. I reversed it the first time I looked everything about Diabetes on Google and youtube
I admire you courage! God bless you! I know I couldn’t live with this.
Great video! Really glad I found your channel.
Thank you for sharing this! I appreciate the representation.
Thank you for watching! It's always helpful to know someone is going through the same thing.
Thank you! I am really struggling right now with type 2. I have an appointment coming up and i feel like the dr will end up putting me on insulin.
Honestly, don't be afraid of insulin. It can keep you healthy for a long time! I know it's so scary to have to use needles each day.
Be strong. I don't know how am I doing it but I'm injecting myself and I feel like the worst part is pricking my fingers every day 3 or 4 times a day. One day at a time, people will not understand and don't expect anything from them, take care of yourself and now is the time to be a little greedy with your time.
@@yoyito2020 beautifully said.
I'm in medical field. I saw my blood work and symptoms increasing and still bypassed it. Now on Metformin and a statin. On top on 4 others. Feeling rough about it because I knew but let it get to point where I'm too exhausted to motivate myself.
Thank you for this video it’s been a rough journey I been diagnosed since I was 16
I know it's hard. Hang in there! Just curious also - you were diagnosed young, were you ever given the antibody tests?
I recently found out I was misdiagnosed.I was never given the antibody test to confirm.
I'm also a fitness trainer and a Life Coach about Diabetes
I’m 18 and I just got diagnosed with type 2 .. I’m scared
Plus I’m a black African American girl
You can do this. Get some activity in each day and watch your carbs. You'll see a difference in no time. You are young, you have so much time ahead of you. You've got this.
I was diagnosed with type 2, 2 months ago and I understand you 100%. Take it easy, I know it's hard, you will never get used to it because I'll be lying if I say that you will, but you're going to learn how to live with it, my advice is: try your best to eat healthy, include nuts and fruits onyour diet, make sure to have healthy snacks like apple and peanut butter. Sadly my friend no more pizza, no pasta and 0 burritos 😭 Check your sugars before every big meal like breakfast, lunch and dinner and no more because it can drive you crazy, unless you need it. This is my schedule 6am-9:30am breakfast, 10am-11am snack, 11:30am-12:30 lunch, 1pm-3p snack, 4:30pm-6:00 dinner, 7pm-7:30pm snack and sometimes I eat a healthy cereal with no sugar, fruits and unsweetened coconut milk around 8-9pm. I hope this helps, the hardest part is pricking our fingers and injecting but you will see that injections are easier. I'm talking from my experience. If you need help or if you need to talk to someone I'm here. I'm with you and I know all of this could be overwhelming and hard to process but like I said you’re going to learn how to live with it, I promise.
Thank you 🙏🏼 hope you are doing well
I'm type 2 too. I have to use insulin. Originally only type 1 uses it
People with type 1 diabetes must use insulin because their pancreas isn't producing it, but people with type 2 (as you know), are also users of both long acting and short acting insulins. I also didn't know that people with T2D used insulin.
I'm honestly so scared rn, I have more than 60% Of the symptoms and I've cried more than I ever have finding out more ab it, and I'm getting tested in a day. I don't know how to cope with all of this and I'm really hoping its something else (though its unlikely)
Yeah, I been prediabetic before and got it down to the point I was normal. Unfortunately, I think I been slacking on my nutrition this year. Even though I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, my weight has increased in 3 years. It started to go up when I stopped taking hypertension meds. But I still tried to stay on a low carb diet. However, I have had some days which were complete failures. My anxiety and fear of knowing if I have it or not, kept from seeing the doctors. I also have a phobia of doing bloodwork. Finally cave in and went to the doctor the other day. Did my bloodwork. Now waiting on results.
Best case scenario: All good. I'll even accept: You're prediabetic. Worst case: You have T2D.
I'm so anxious and scared. I remember years ago when I was told that I was prediabetic, that I promised myself that I would stay on a strict low carb/sugar diet. I would do portion control. I take supplements that's suppose to help with blood sugar, but I hear supplements are useless. But now mad at myself for the times I slacked off. So far, I haven't any major symptoms. But I know overweight people who have received diabetic diagnosis, who had no symptoms at all.
Best of luck with your results. I'm praying (and I'm not religious) for a positive diagnosis.
Soo incredibly helpful! I was just diagnosed and everything you said was spot on!!
30 years with type 2 diabeties and not alot of teaching from medical team. Told myself to you tube how to take my shots.
I believe it. I also learned to do my injections from a UA-cam video. It's sad that it's our reality, and I'm so sorry.
@@TheHangryWoman I'm also having a lot of highs and lows even tho I follow the Dr orders so I'm going to ask him about the 1.5 my next visit. I'm currently on 4 meds.
I feel you, got the diagnosis and was sent away with pills and paperwork. I am trying to get it together.
Thanks for your video. I am diabetic too
It's hard for me too i take invega trinza mental health injection once every 3months dat made me gain alot of weight and now im type 2 diabetic now i have to deal with being schizoaffective disorder bipolar type now t2d it's alot to deal with
I just found out I’m diabetic
I'm so sorry, I know that it can be overwhelming. Let me know if you need anything. Always happy to help.
What was your A1C when you were diagnosed?
I was diagnosed at 12%. I’m now at 6.7%. I promise you can manage this. It takes work, but it can be done.
@@TheHangryWoman 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you for the reassurance I'm having weight loss surgery next month I've been pre-diabetic for more than 12years but now this. My A1C was 6.7 and my Glucose is 110. I'm panicking but I've been researching to learn how to eat.
Did it affect your vision at all?
Please share a few links for support thank you 🙏🏼
I'm on Metformin and Glimipride and Simvistan I'm not on insulin
Your Dutch a good person❤❤
That means a lot to me, thank you!
any good medication to lose weight also ?
Unfortunately, never enough meds with the desired side effects such as
weight loss. But, Drs. have no problem prescribing anti-diabetic meds that cause weight gain, while Insurance companies are more reluctant to cover weight loss meds. ironically, with the obesity epidemic, further exacerbating diabetes, it’s Sad!
Better off going with all the natural remedies, whenever possible. Big Pharma continuously profiting off the most vulnerable suffering with chronic diseases, while there is proven science that there is a cure for diabetes in the works. Stop wasting your money on synthetic drugs that have unpleasant side effects that keep you in the diabetes trap for life. No one should have to live a life sentence. Diabetes, like cancer been around for a century. It’s about time they find a cure rather than managing a devastating life long disease and throwing away your money. Furthermore, no one should have to plead to be healthy
I was diagnosed but got no information so I’ve been living on UA-cam hahah I’m also Anemic and so I can’t take metforman but I haven’t been able to find anyone on here who can tell me how to manage both properly since I can’t take metforman and the anemia spiked my ac1 🤷🏾♀️ ughhhh
Thank you I just got diagnosed with type 2 and the same my doctor did not tell me anything, just take the medicine Jardiance it's making me sick the side effects. ❤😊 God bless you.
I'm so sorry you were treated that way. Hopefully my channel can be a good resource for you.
@TheHangryWoman yes it is thank you.
Hi I looked at your video today my name is Shameka hiI’m going through all the same symptoms but I don’t know what to do so if you can can you inbox me with some information
It's really important to go to your doctor and be screened for diabetes. They should check fasting blood sugar, A1C, and also labs like cholesterol, kidney and liver function and blood pressure. It's good to get all of that done annually, but sooner than later if you're having symptoms.
Let me start off by saying that I am so happy you reach back out to me I’ve been struggling with this crying just aggravated because if I drink just a little bit of water I have to go to the bathroom I’ll wake up at night going to the bathroom and cannot sleep trying to figure out what’s going on my mother is A sugar diabetic I try to access some of her symptoms but I just feel she doesn’t understand I’m so happy you I helping me with some of the questions that I can’t ask other people because they don’t understand but I’m noticing a change she said I was pre-diabetic when I went to the doctor I have a daughter and when she was like three or four they say that I was prediabetic so I’m not sure if I am failing to send them now than thenBecause when I went to get my blood work done she checked my sugar I told her I was having tingly in the hands and feet and I kept going back-and-forth to the bathroom it seem like she didn’t even want to do her job so now I am all over the place with this and I am struggling with it
I hope to hear from you soon I just never do it I will never have any answers😪
@@paulawest5456 paula can we chat for a bit i have questions
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was able to reverse my diabetes with diet and exercise. Sacrifice is a big thing. Research low carb diet. It’s do able and life changing
Please see my updated video in the description. I was misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes a couple of years after I made this. I currently do eat a low carb diet to manage diabetes, but I will have to take insulin for the rest of my life since my beta cells are being attacked by my body. There is no cure or reversing type 1, unfortunately.
While people can manage diabetes with a low carb diet, sometimes other things can be at play. I’m very glad that was a lifesaving change for you.
@@TheHangryWoman what other things can be at play? Please respond I was just diagnosed yesterday and I'm freaking out.
you
are
beautiful
Thank you for this. I was just diagnosed less than a month ago. 🙏🏾✊🏾🤎
