Wanna eat healthy, start from 20s. Don't wait till 40s liao all the health problem come out then start, by then alr too late.

It is not too late

 

[Coffeelix]

There is nothing wrong not to start medication. I hesitated for years. I guess we all have different reasons not to. Wonder what’s yours?

He is taking the diabetes

 

[1982-1994]

You dare or not? Go ask doc to prescribed you insulin pen, not the cheapest but good for emergency use, to quickly lower your finger prick reading.

But I must warn you, if you manage your insulin injection like you reject the 6 daily finger prick is no no, your body will react badly when you jab too much. Got iron teeth patient say if jab too much, just eat a candy bar and get instant sugar rush.

Oh
Then I don't dare because scared I get too relied on it

It is not too late

It is. Cos organs alr sustained irreversible damage.

 

[rawtuna]

In that case.... How does TS not know?

He is more concern about his diabetes than his haemogoblin. Cos the former can be manage with dietary control which he scores badly and nothing he can do for latter.

Is better to be late than never…

Oh no…
U shouldn’t just stop on your own …

Stopped since yesterday

My late dad in law suffered strokes n strokes cos his doctor son stopped his diabetic .
We learnt it too late and he died

Since I realised my past diet is very cham from the start of this thread upon listing out the food list,I will start to jiak mussels/Quail eggs to ramp up my iron from now ,instead of relying on med because I am aware that I am lacking of iron seeing my blood report

Anyway 8mg of iron daily intake is easy to hit
Even one capsule of Brands iron is 10mg

And I know I am going to receive more bashings from this post just because I don't want to take med

You must get confirmation from your doc if you have thalassemia or anemia. This is important as thalassemia patient cannot take iron supplement as overload will caused organ damage.

I started the med on 13th March ,was feeling fine (no lightheadedness) till I took it, I am certain it made me lightheaded because it was the first time I consumed it on time, twice a day unlike last time on and off

Ok then I just eat food with high iron content
I mean since I know what's the problem after looking at the haematology results, lacking of iron that is

Maybe due to other reasons? Did he have high cholesterol? How was his diet?

 

[Monstruo^]

You think no need multiple blood sugar readings is okay, then so be it. I don't need to waste my time with you.

Goodbye and good luck.

Mai lah, mai lah...

Very difficult for me to advise him when he thinks the 6 daily blood sugar readings are useless.

Nevermind, let him find out resistence against his own pancreas produced insulin the hard way.

I agree and find it important to taking the blood sugar readings a few times a day And not suka suka suddenly remember then go and take the readings, or suddenly take 12 hours later. Also, it doesn’t matter only take during work days or resting days. I don’t understand this logic.

I remember there was a video he watched in this thread which was posted by coffeelix that specifically taught how to do the readings before and after meals and how many hours apart and explains what’s the purpose for doing so. But duno why he refuse to do it even though he said he got watched and finds it useful. Learn things liao must apply mah. Not just read and watch and listen and forget.
Also, there is no fast result.

Anyway it’s always up to oneself to manage their own health lor Mybfd. I’m here to learn more about diet and diabetes from various people

You cannot stop your diabetes med on your own, only the doc can make the decision.

 

[ctan84]

About 80 years ago, a doctor treated people with T2DM with only white rice, fruit juice and table sugar, and found that their fasting blood sugar levels dropped, despite a reduction in the insulin they were taking. To much surprise, two thirds of them experienced a reversal of their diabetic retinopathy.

80 YEARS ago people were largely working in labour intensive jobs which easily burned all those carbs away while improving insulin sensitivity thru all those physical activities. CONTEXT matters ALOT.

@1982-1994 I hv that thalassaemia whatever trait too .. but it hasn’t affected my life until this few years all of sudden ..

I checked w doc he said this s genetic trait .. eating iron rich things is not gg to help change e genes .. just eat n live healthily as usual

My side effect possibly related to this thalassamia thg is possibly u d feel more tired easily n faster than other humans who don’t hv this

and skin specialist thinks that my finger tips skin renews less speedy than usual .. it could be reason of why my finger tips r v thin and break n bleed very easily
