Survey: Diabetic Tsikoteers

[LadyRider]

With the number of diabetics growing here in the Philippines, I would just like to know how many of the Tsikoteers are Diabetic?

Maganda rin naman malaman natin. Maybe we can ask the administrators if we can have a special event meant for us in the future kase I for one, am a Diabetic.

At least magkaroon tayo ng awareness lalu na pag di kayo sure of the symptoms. Kase merong mga tao hindi nila alam na Diabetic sila pag di nila pina check fasting blood sugar nila! Ako kase I learned I had Diabetes the hard way...

If there are Tsikoteer Doctors who are Indocrinologists or Diabetologists in the house, please do help us and enlighten us regarding Diabetes.

Take care of your health my dear friends always and God bless!

my father and grandfather (RIP both) was diabetic.

since diabetes is hereditary, i try to look out for my blood sugar level whenever there's a chance (free blood sugars, annual check ups, etc.) the past three years, my blood sugar is barely normal. konti (3 pts) na lang hypoglycemic na ko. my last test using the a digital device, 52 lang blood sugar ko. nagbreakfast pa ko ng konting choco cake nun. ndi naman ako nahilo hehehe.

cholesterol. yan ang problem ko hehehe

my parents are both in their 70's and diabetics!
i know this is hereditary and in my last checkup my blood sugar is in the borderline! so i'm taking care of what i eat and lots of regular cardio exercise!

any advice?

AFAIK, wala sa genealogy namin ang pagiging diabetic....

Pero, sa dami ng kaso ng acquired diabetes,- kailangang mag-ingat. Kaya ako ay modulation lang sa softdrinks at sa mga pagkain na maraming asukal....

juntzo: every other generation daw(?) ang mana ng diabetic. Pero ingat ka pa rin.... Better safe than sorry...

What's metformin for? ako kasi I have daily dose of solosa..

metformin is generic Glucophage

blocks glucose production by the liver

decreases intestinal absorption of glucose

increases insulin sensitivity
