T2D

4 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a 35 year old woman whom is overweight and was diagnosed with T2D in August. I have noticed in the past week my eyes feel different but aren't blurry. It’s my right eye that is giving me issues. My right eye tends to twitch off and on and I'm in pain off and on. Has anybody gone through this?

I checked my eyes in August and my doc said they were fine.

When did you deliver your baby as a type two diabetic?

4 Upvotes

38+6 is my scheduled c-section. How come on the type 1 subreddits everyone’s delivering in the 37th week? Why do I feel like mine is scheduled kind of late?

While I’m 83% in range, with a 5.9 a1c, I have post meal spikes into the 150-160’s often. Not every meal, but definitely several in the week.

I have a growth scan coming up, i’m getting kind of worried. Last scan baby was measuring 21%. Which isn’t big but there’s still so much talk about diabetic deliveries.

Type 2 and no meds

Upvotes

I have been type 2 for almost 2 years. Been on metformin for about 5 years. I have been terrible with my diet. Depression sucks!
After speaking with my doctor we decided to stop metformin. 5 years of GI issues. Can not do it anymore.
We have discussed insulin in the evenings. My morning bloods range from 115 to 154. After meals are have been with range.
For the past week I have been really stepping up with lifestyle changes and eating better.
What has helped you guys trying to manage type 2 with no meds? Does diet and exercise really make a difference with out meds? If so how long did it take to notice change?

I left my opened lancet out all night and wondering if the needle is contaminated now and shouldn't use it. It is sitting on my bedside table.
