How do you feel right now?

[dr. d]

Oh I just had that last November, normal naman But there was a time I was prediabetic.

"once a pre-diabetic, always a pre-diabetic."
the next step to pre-diabetic, is true diabetic.
the medical field has definitions for these, po.

watch your diet for carbos and sugars.. save your insulin.. onset of diabetes is delayed...

Even if my hba1c and sugar are normal na? I am still prediabetic?

I feel awful I wish I could just stay in bed the whole day.

I am also embarrassed to drive my Gen 10 because it's so dirty. I have not cleaned my car in 2 weeks and it's coated in dust and butiki poop Maybe that is why all the cars are giving way to me because of my dirty car.

your issues are easy, just increase your insulin sensitivity....look up dr robert lustig and dr jason fung online...educate yourself.

Could that be the reason why bilis ko tumaba? Because even my Mom is nagtataka how I gained so much weight e I don't eat that much naman.

i-isa lang po ang rason kung bakit tumataba...
at hindi po dahil nagugutom kayo.

you are sensitive to insulin nga kaya ka tumataba

when you're insulin resistant na your cells don't respond much to insulin so sugar stays in your blood and don't go into your cells (kaya mataas ang blood sugar)

you blood sugar goes back to normal naman so di ka diabetic or even pre-diabetic

the job of insulin is to drive sugar into your cells

when you eat carbs and/or anything with sugar, your pancreas releases insulin para maipasok yung sugar sa cell to use as energy

pag sugar na di nagagamit it is stored as fat

get it

kaya ka tumataba kasi mahilig ka sa sweets

wanna find out if you have impaired glucose tolerance?

before a meal, take a blood sugar reading (baseline)

then eat (may rice dapat ha)

then after 2 hours take another blood sugar reading

if it's high (like 140 or 160) then your body has problems dealing with glucose

kasi dapat after 2 hours your blood sugar should fall back to near baseline

so if I quit carbs or sugar ma reverse pa kaya yung insulin sensitivity?

Kahapon nga wala ako halos kinain. Just M&Ms the whole day and then I realized I finished almost 1/2 medium pack (but I spit out the almond) Napa google tuloy ako kasi baka ma diabetic coma ako. Apparently mga Americans nakakaubos pa 1 pack hehe

the formal name of the test is "oral glucose tolerance test" or OGTT.
it's available in most laboratories, po.
it will determine where you are, in the natural evolution of glucose tolerance problems of your body.
normal... gestational... impaired.. true diabetic.
daming tusok! ouch... ouch... ouch...
