Agreed. But please don't dump Type 1, or as I call it "Real", diabetics in with the cattle. Thanks. ?
Edit: I realized many here probably suffer from Type 2 diabetes, and it's a bitch. Realize that it's almost completely up to you how manage it. A blessing, in a way, compared to T1.
Also realize because of this actual pandemic of Type 2, endocrinologists are some of the most overworked, manipulated by their administration doctors, out there. Bar none. Chances are, they're going to offer you very little in the way of actual, productive help. Probably push a bunch of drugs on you. But just like high blood pressure medication is used to mask, and profit from, the epidemic of obesity, in most cases the real cure is simple. Diet and exercise. Learn about the glycemic index of food, basic nutrition in relation to carbohydrates, and how diet and exercise not only control weight and insulin resistance and requirements, but the efficiency in which your body processes carbohydrates and sugars. In fact a T2 diabetic owes it to themselves to understand the biology of a T1 diabetic, and apply it to themselves. You have a way out, take it.
