Anti age discussion, interesting.

So many things to absorbe! Books, advices, different diets proposed, videos. Here a long interesting video, I ended up buying books from both. Even if I learn one thing that helps, a few bucks, and reading on my dwindle or iPad is worth.

Symptoms, some I had

Different symptoms that a diabetes 2 can have, many before the diagnosis.
Did not have ALL these symptoms, but many of them. And was not aware it means Diabetes 2.

How can I read so much, plus write two different blogs posts every day?

Did not vomit.

How could my doctors diagnose it as the UK at least my GP cabinet let me tell only ONE problem at a time?

Lunch: Sardines in tomato sauce, boiled eggs, no more Coke

Rye bred, Sardines, blueberry and my pill - I begun to experiment. My weight begin. s to go down, slowly.

Portions small, but tasty. Usually, food I like. I did not digest well this last meal: egg was boiled 3 days before, was that the problem ?

I liked, used to like Coke and Sweeps but suddenly the coke seems too sweet so what remains, will offer to be taken away. Instead, got yesterday big bottles of tonic water

How to take your glucose level?

I did buy a glucose level meter and learned the first part. When used well, picking my finger and getting a drop of blood does not feel almost at all. Then what?

I suppose I do not understood yet where to put that blood drop, or how to put the test strip with the drop in the meter. Or to put it before I add the drop or after. It is written 11.2 when I click, and before,  instead a réponse of 5 seconds, the meter displays a drop and noise, as if waiting and waiting.

 I will have to go and let someone show me how to. Pharmacy, nurse. I took today, after ten hours fast and two hours after small breakfast and no chinage. So I that must have come from once a week ago, when it did work.

NIH on diabetes

I worked in the National Institute of Health, 1977 - 1980, as after PHD researcher, Visiting Scientist. Now, it is my grandson studying pre-med in Maine, who send me the links. So many important pages! Here are some of them.

.

go and study, they are open to anyone, many many pages direct, from Bethesda, near DC. My daughter, still lives near it.

Reading about Diabetes 2

Used to read on my Kindle and find books on Amazon, I looked at many and finally chosen to read, first, these three. 

Diabetes for Dummies, a short version, written by a doctor treating patients. I do not recommend, after finishing the 70 pages. Perhaps the big, more expensive book, may be better.
The other two books I begun and love both of them. Not only great information, well written books, but both authors have humor. Humor, I need now. Will also try here. 

I begun with the Can I eat that? Its writer recommended the Type 2 Diabetes book author. Now, I read them alternately as each have different content. Both useful. They are, in my opinion, to be consumed slowly. 

Also went last week, to a longer workshop organised by Diabetes UK, they gave me a folder with two short manuals, just opened it yesterday. So much to read and understand!
