Does anyone here have diabetes type2?

I was 38 years old when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in October 2014. I weighed 101.8kgs and 5ft 10in.

I had put on a lot of weight but that was due to an under active thyroid brought on by an autoimmune condition called Hashimotos Disease NOT the diabetes.

I am slowly losing weight and when I last weighed myself back

In May I weighed 83kgs.

I just cut out sugar, eat smaller meals and go walking for exercise!! If I can do it anyone can :)

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/Zwl1J

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes:

Increased thirst

Increased urination

Weight loss in spite of increased appetite

Fatigue

Nausea

Vomiting

Patients with type 1 diabetes usually develop symptoms over a short period of time, and the condition is often diagnosed in an emergency setting.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes:

Increased thirst

Increased urination

Increased appetite

Fatigue

Blurred vision

Slow-healing infections

Impotence in men

If you think you have diabetes i think you should have a checkup and speak with your doctor just in case.

RE:

Does anyone here have diabetes type2?

At what age did you get it and how much did you weigh when you were diagnosed with it? Just wondering

I was 54 (female) when diagnosed, 170lbs, 5'5" started metformin medication and stuck to healthy eating and exercise and lost 28lbs, at the same time I was also diagosed with underactive thyroid which is common in type 2 diabetics

Age----even at younger age may be at 25...most predominant chances after 35,.

so age has no role to play in it.

weight--yes body weight and central obesity has certain roles but there is nothing like you will be in a particular weight range while get diagnosed with type 2 DM.

Lean metabolites are also susceptible to DM.

Hence type 2 DM or NIDDM Is like an uninvited guest..will come at any time

ofcourse it depended upon certian factors like

Genetic predisposition

Life style.......junk foods

social habits---smoking,alcohol

Central obesity

autoimmune diseases

excessive or unwanted use of certain medicines(eg steroids)

Most important....STRESS.....

AGE 50 AND 110 POUNDS AT 5;4"!! I have gained about 30 pounds since starting insulin! I hate the weight gain insulin has given me! And yes, it IS type 2 and I am insulin dependent!! I follow a very strict low carb food plan and exercise 2 hours every day!! This is to keep the insulin to a minimum amount!

"What causes high blood sugar and T2DM in lean people?

Not surprisingly, the causes of T2DM in lean people are similar to the causes of T2DM in the obese. They can be loosely grouped into the following categories:

Genetics

Fatty liver

Inflammation

Autoimmunity

Stress"

Not all fat people get diabetes, and not all diabetics are fat:

My husband is

He weighed about 240 at the time.

40+ yrs old.

Higher BMI = higher chance of being DM-2.

BMI = weight / (height * height)

unit in kilogram and metre, respectively.
