I have a question friends. My 66 yo dad was diagnosed with diabetes and im curious if its curable. I dont trust medical.
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
Some diabetes medications seem to do more harm than good. He is otherwise healthy. He did get 2 jabs and lost some weight after he stopped driking liquor. Os there anything he can do besides entering the medical world to treat/cure and getting on those scary meds? Thanks agead of time. I know this isnt the place but i yrust yall more than anywhere else. Thats crazy in and of itself 🤣
No. Diabetes is not curable at this time. You can reverse the effects to a point, but it will always be there. It is a progressive disease, and it will continue to progress no matter what you do. However, by diet and exercise (and in some cases medication) you can slow the progression down enough to live a long and hopefully happy life.
NOT treating type 2 diabetes can lead to Type 1 diabetes and a lifelong dependency on insulin.
I have been dealing with type 2 diabetes for over twenty years now.
One thing I would like to ask is what method did they use to determine he was diabetic?
Not treating type 2 diabetes doesn't cause type 1, it just gets treated like type 1.
I didn't say cause. I said it can lead to type one. Once the beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed, the body can no longer produce insulin, which is basically what type 1 diabetes is.
The islet cells in the pancreas are rendered useless by an autoimmune cause in type 1. Type 2 diabetics still produce insulin but the body develops an inability to utilize the insulin. Type 1 diabetics can actually acquire insulin resistance like type 2, but I have never heard of a type 2 diabetic becoming type 1 unless they were misdiagnosed.
