RE: Silver Bloggers Community is on My List

in Silver Bloggers • 6 months ago

Thank you...I almost revealed it back to you than but I wasn't ready at that time, hehe. You had a real serious threat. I'm glad your here today and I have someone that can relate to my condition.

I watch my levels closely and have gotten use to poking me finger to check it. I have to watch my weight because my doctor will take me off the medication if I lose too much weight. I don't want to inject insulin on a daily basis. This medication is just one shot a week. Plus it's pretty affordable with my insurance, $40 for a month supply. Insulin is expensive and I hope I don't have to find out how much that would cost.

It's great to be here in this community and I hope I can post more frequently here. Thank you for your detailed and caring message. Have a great day ahead 😊

        I can also understand that you were not ready to tell. At first, I had my phase of stupor and denial, and I would ask myself questions like, how is it possible if I have never been overweight, or I don't eat so badly that I am diabetic and things like that. But once we assume the condition, I think we take the first step to fight the battle.

        I lost weight with the first medication I took, dapagliflozin. I am a lot thinner but at some point, I have stayed at the same weight.

        I hope neither of us gets to the point of needing insulin. And you know we're here for you. We'll keep in touch here.

        Happy afternoon!

              Me too just a a little over a year prior to my diagnosis I was running 5-6 miles a day and on much of a healthy lifestyle. I got away from it and put on a few pounds but nothing that required me to buy a new wardrobe. Now my mother's side has three generations of diabetes so I'm content with it being in my genetics.

              Oh yes no insulin, I hate needles.
