Dear members,

We have recently asked you to answer our poll on "How is your diabetes controlled at the moment"? Which you did, and here are the results emoticon wink

Apparently, the majority of the patients control their diabetes with medication (almost 40% of the respondents). About 32% rely solely on diet, and 27% use both medication and diet to manage their diabetes. About 2% of the respondents do not treat their diabetes at all.

What do you think of these results?

Has the way you control your diabetes changed over years? In what way?

Flip flopping weight control has led to a massive variation on the medicines I take. When I began with diabetes the using metformin and then progressed to various tablets added on. I noted at times diet reduced the need for the medicines. Pre-cancer I had moved onto injections but lost 6 stone due to treatment. Therefore I moved onto diet control only but after a number of years since I put some weight on and back on Metformin. I had a threat quite recently of losing control of my blood sugars so I lost weight and am now back in control.
