Hi and a question :)

Hi

I have been dianosed last wednesday. i am 21 and i have type 2 diabetes. i dont need any tablets or injections just need to lose weight.

I asked my doctor questions but he didnt answer them directly which was annoying

Can my blood sugar go to 0.0? will i take a hypo? what happens if it does go below 2.0?

thanks if you answer.

Hi Dan it shows on your profile that you have put T1 yet you say your T2 ? Big difference 🙂 I have a good friend who was T2 , done lots of hard work to get to loose weight & now off tablets. Stopped eating rubbish. Good luck 🙂

Hi Dan, welcome to the forum 🙂 How did you come to be diagnosed? If you are not on any medication then it is extremely unlikely that you will have hypo. Your blood sugar would never go to 0.0, and again, since you are not on any medication you would not go below 2.0. It's far more likely that your blood sugar levels will be high. Have you tested your blood? Do you know what it was when the doctor diagnosed you?

Thanks for the answers and the warm welcoming! 🙂

I am type 2 lol, must of not been thinking. my dad is Type 1. It was a my local GP that said I was type 2.

That's a relief that I wont hypo or anything. My blood sugar was 21.9 when i first check using my dads blood sugar reader. I phoned my GP next morning. I have looked after my dad for number of years. I guess know a little bit of type 1 E.G. Symptoms, signs of hypo and dealing with it when he was in one.

Does anything really change apart from my diet? Making my blood sugar stays around 5-8?

That's the aim 🙂 I'd keep an eye on things though - if your Dad has Type 1 then it's possible you might be in the early stages of Type1 also. Do you have any symptoms?

My doctor said it was based on my weight, after my few days of my diet my symptoms disappearing. I couldnt tell you apart from i was tired after i ate some food. I hope its not, if it is can i stop it now?

Thanks
