Question 1

had pre-diabetes. is it possible i had diabetes type 2 in past but blood sugar went down to pre-diabetes? can 1 go from havin diabetes back to normal?

Accepted Answer

All a spectrum: It's all one continuous pathway from Insulin resistance to prediabetes to overt diabetes. The dividing lines are totally arbitrary. You need to be dieting, exercising, losing weight, getting educated, and possible taking medication. Don't wait until your number crosses some arbitrary line, then it's already too late.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

High blood sugar: There are many reasons why you might have high blood sugar, usually related to the therapy you are using to control your diabetes.
You must see your primary doctor as soon as possible.
If your blood sugar level is above 200 you really should go to the nearest Emergency facility right now!

Question 3

i just got diabetes type 2,i  am on  2 blood sugar pills jardiance 25mgx1 and janamet50/1000. i have afib so cardiologist said i should be on  eliquis 2x. is eliquis safe and better than  aspirin 81 thank you?

Accepted Answer

A fib: In my opinion aspirin is not enough protection for the development of clots in the atria during atrial fibrillation and most clinicians would recommend anticoagulant therapy with warfarin or eliquis class of anticoagulants in view of your age and presence of diabetes. There is more chance of bleeding events while on anticoagulants than aspirin,but I would listen to your cardiologist for guidance

Question 4

is too much sugar directly responsible for diabetes type 2?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: High sugar is by definition diabetes so high sugar level (if meet criteria) will directly give you the diagnosis of diabetes but eating/consuming sugar will not cause diabetes in the short term.  Overtime, eating a lot of sugar will cause obesity, Insulin resistance which will lead to type 2 diabetes.

Question 5

diabetes type 2- why do we get it if are not using much sugar?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Genetics, environmental, obesity.  Diabetes is caused by many things.  Eating too much sugar does not cause diabetes unless it caused you to gain weight beyond normal, then it can lead to diabetes.

Question 6

what is the normal range of sugar diabetes type 2 tow hours after meal?

Accepted Answer

&lt; 180: In a person without type 2 diabetes a 2 hour postprandial of &lt; 140 is normal. For diabetics we recommend pre-prandial (before meal) 70-130 and 2hour postprandial &lt; 180. Hope this helps.

Question 7

what drink is taken after vomiting ( like sevenup but with no sugar(for diabetes type 2)

Accepted Answer

Seltzer?: Seltzer, flavored or otherwise, may provide the carbonation that you seek without the calories.  Drinking too much seltzer, especially the flavored ones with artificial sweeteners, may not be the healthiest thing to do in the long term, but for a few days in this context it may benefit you.

Question 8

my dad has diabetes type 2 and is fat and has high blood pressure but takes all his medication. i worry. can he still live a full life?

Accepted Answer

Long life possible: Your father has conditions which poses serious risks to his life but modern medicine has much to offer and he can do a lot to help himself. Losing weight and controlling both diabetes and hypertension are at least in part within his own control.

Question 9

my dad has diabetes type 2 sugar level 350 mg/dl and had stents placed in his heart and he sometimes has pain in his heart so what is the treatment?

Accepted Answer

See doc.: If he has stents he is at risk for having coronary events and his chest pain should be taken seriously unless we have already been able to attribute this to something else.  Secondarily he needs his diabetes, lipids and blood pressure treated to goal. Bg should be substantially less than the 350 mentioned.

Question 10

what birth control pill is better for me if i have high blood pressure and diabetes type 2 also one that will not make me gain weight?

Accepted Answer

Several options: Depending on other risk factors you could be a candidate for low dose (20 mcg estrogen) birth control pills.  You could also use a Progesterone only birth control pill, or consider the use of an iud.  Those options mostly don't cause weight gain - though some women are very sensitive to hormones and can gain weight easily with them.
