In my immediate family I got 4 persons who are suffering from diabetes and all four take I think two insulin injections per day just to control their blood sugar.
I know how much of a burden diabetes can be...
If it's type 1, insulin supplementation would be necessary for life, if it's type 2, then it means they've not always been on insulin... Like I said in the post, diet and exercise is a strong factor when it comes to regulating blood sugar.
I agree, it can appear very random when we do not understand what affects our blood sugar and how...
Things like sleep, coffee, exercise can affect blood sugar in ways that you may not understand... That's why continuous blood glucose monitors are an absolute game changer with management of diabetes.
Not everyone with type 2 diabetes will take medications for life. Like I said in the post, the experience varies for different folks... Genetics plays a very strong role, much of which is not fully understood.
But I have met people who went off medications with diabetes... And I see a lot of diabetics in my line of work.
I can confirm this. I have type 2 diabetes and while I try my best to control the blood sugar, it can be very random.
