I took my for his diabetic check up It Sucks!

[MAJOR25]

I took my dad for his first check up. His sugar was like 300, he lost weight bad, he gets real tire after work. He did not want to go but I made him go. I know this is nothing to talk about but I just have let it out of my chest. It sucks knowing that someone in your family is ill and can't do nothing about it.

[USfighterFC]

Is 300 bad? I dont know that much about diabetes and all you insulin users will laugh at me for asking that lol.

I can't understand your post at all.

my bad. My dad had some symthoms of diabetis. he didn't want to go to the doc but told him that we needed to find out if he was diabetic. After we got the results they told us that he was diabetic. He looked depress for a while but I talk to him and he kindda got over it. Is just that it sucks when someone that you are close to is sick there is no cure for it. Now he has to control it.

diabetes is a more cripiling disease than people think, make sure he takes care of himself and monitors his blood sugar, is he type 1 or type 2? juvenile onset or adult onset?

bro I don't know but I'll make sure and call to find out about it. what are the differences between type 1 or 2? I guess he's adult onset. what else can you tell about it.

[Doc.Sust]

type 2 can be comtrolled and isnt as diblitating if you takecare of yourself, with a proper diet and exercise , a bit of weight loss, you can alleviate almost alll the syptoms 90% of the time. type 1,juvenile, you dad would have had it when he was a kid, he would be taking insulin injections his whole life, type 2 adult happens later in life and usualy the patient doesnt take insulin

well they didn't tell him to take insulin injections, so I'm guessing he is a type 2. The doc told him to be on a diet, exercise. but still it Sucks. thanks bro for all the info.

Now I just hope I don't get diabetis untill I'm way older. I'm 24 now. thanks again.

[Doc.Sust]

if you did get it now it would be type 2 not type 1, and if you keep yourself in check, exercise regularly and diet and eat good you will have NO worries

[SwoleCat]

Good luck to him and it's great he has you to care for/about him.

What amazes me about diabetes is that often people that can control it just go back to the same habits they had that caused them to be diabetic.

it sucks more when you know that you might get it because one of your parents has it.

Blood sugar problems run in my family as well. You just have to control it. If people don't, then it can get really really bad.

Hey major,guess what? i'm diabetic just like your dad.i'm 32yrs old and have had it for 3yrs.my whole damn family has diabetes.Oh by the i'm 279 right now at about 10%Bf....not tooting my horn bro.Just letting you know everything will be ok bro.Its all about taling care of it.Make sure he checks his blood with the gloucemeter and his diet is the most important.300 isnt great but not the end of the world.his sugar should be under 200 and he will be ok.At first its scary but again it will be ok.Like swole cat said he's lucky to have you.You need any advise just ask bro.

[Lavinco]

I'm a type 2 diabetic as well. 27 years old and just found out last year.

Finding out that I have diabetes has been the best thing for me. Why? Because I found out whay I was getting so sick all the time and it motivates me to eat right and workout.

If your sugar level is over 200, 2 hours after a meal then you are in an unhealthy range.

Last year I would be close to 300 at times.

With a proper workout routine, keeping a healthy diet and using the right supplements, I am now in a normal range of anywhere between 90-130, 2 hours after meals.

As a matter of fact, after some recent bloodwork, my doctor said it is almost as if I don't even have diabetes anymore and to keep doing what I am doing.

Your dad needs to educate himself about what he has. Go to www.diabetes.org to get some very useful info.

I suggest that you get your father to start taking vitamins everyday. Additionally get a supplement called "Alpha Lipoic Acid" or (ALA). Take the ALA with another supplement called biotin before every meal. Combined, these 2 supplements alone will help control your dads sugar amazingly.

But don't expect miracle results from just pills though. He has got to eat right and excercise regularly.

He doesn't have to be a bodybuilder to be healthy but he should atleast do some cardio a few times a week like walking on a treadmill or going jogging 45min. or more each time.

He should also talk to a dietition now that he knows he is a diebetic.

Mine suggested to cut out as much sugar in my meals as I could. No more than 15g of sugar each meal.

No drinking, no candy, cake and shit like that either.

Good luck and you, yourself should also watch out because diabetes DOES run in family's.

Bigmax: 32yrs!!! That's young bro!! sorry to hear that but I might be going the same way like you. I will make sure to keep my dad active (exercise)

Can you still shoot gear even with diabetes?

The last time I checked my self was about a year ago (every thing was fine). I'm about 15-18%BF

Yes but only if your in the absolute best shape of your life before you do and you know what you are doing and what you are taking.

Don't fvck with any insulin as some do.

If you are not a diabetic now, you will know what it feels like when you are on gear.

Don't expect high energy levels from gear. You will feel pooped. So pooped that it will be hard to workout.

Your dad will be o.k. (if he decides to be). It won't be easy for him, changing all his habits I'm sure. I was diagnosed with type I when I was 18 and I am now 32. It has allowed me to live a much healthier life, than I probally would have. It is a disease with no cure but it can be managed better than any other disease I know about. If you have any specifc questions shoot me a PM. I'd be happy to help out.

welcome to the board and just wanted to say good luck Major. Take care of your father and everything will be okay. Tell him the importance it is for him and you to make sure he controls the sugar levels.

Can you still shoot gear even with diabetes?

The last time I checked my self was about a year ago (every thing was fine). I'm about 15-18%BF

Can I shoot gear ....LOL...At 277lbs and 10%bf not only yeah but HELL yeah..it wont affect your blood sugar...diabetics cant use GH or IGF be cause it makes you sensitve to the insulin.

[THE_DOME]

some chick at my work has diabet she was out all last week becuase her dumbass doesnt know how to manager her insulin and she was at 600.

On a side note adam morrison has diabeties and tares that ass up on the bball court

[Bigmax]

That chick was in danger of going into a coma..i think its called Deketoacydosis....when the sugar goes out of control,affects the kidneys and eyesight.
