Beginning of diabetes?

 

Not exactly. This one has been in pieces for a few years so I bought a burner gasket and put it together and replaced the one that was giving me problems. Ran for an hour without any problems.

 

Yeah. I've known about it for awhile. Previous doc retired so I had to go to someone new. He wasn't as lenient.

 

Wasn’t sure if you meant diabetes stuck or prostrate stuck.

 

you can buy carbide fast-mount studs now that can be removed.

 

You can drive legally with type2 diabetes if controlled by oral meds only.
I did for years and taking a pill or 2 before going into the restaurant or sitting down to eat is an easy way to protect your CDL.
If you lay off starches/sugars for a day before your exam you can fool the test a bit but why bother, the pills are cheap and control now will stop you from more damage to your body later. Things like losing eyesight, kidney damage, loss of a leg due to poor circulation and heart problems are just some.

 

Insurance wouldn't cover the meds that didn't make me sick as a dog so I ended up just not taking them, can't drive if I'm camping in the John every other hour, I figured when I had to go in a cup that it was about to bite me in the ###. I was ready for it but I want ready to be told I wasn't going to pass. They refunded my money and said go get meds and come back and we will do it again.

 

If you are willing to change your diet, you can reverse type 2 diabetes.

 

I'm not saying my ambition has left the building......but......it's lacking....lol

 

First: Stay away from any sugar free/low sugar candies, gum or cookies or anything sweetened with malitol or any of the modified sucrose products. Those have laxative properties to some degree and some more than others.
Second: Ask about metformin and of glyburide, they are older treatments for type2 that usually have the least effects like you have had.
If you have it under control you will most likely get a 6 month or 1 year med card until you test your A1C in the normal range twice in a row when the doc can then give you a 2 year card.
The A1C is a chemical average of your blood sugars over the last 90 days so remember that one day of high sugars will not effect your A1C much but a regular bump in your sugars will. Also all beer, wine and alcohol is a modified sugar and will cause a temporary jump in blood sugars.
Weight loss and exercise will help drop your A1C.
