Jagero, thanks for the conversation. I was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago at the age of 27. Honestly, it is a struggle. Management looks easy on the books, but the implementation part is an uphill task. I hope one day I may get a platform such as yours to share the challenges.
Thanks for sharing your story. I can only imagine how tough it's been battling diabetes for 10 years. You're absolutely right, managing it can be a real challenge. But you're doing a great job by keeping at it. If you ever feel like sharing your experiences, even if it's not on a huge platform, I'd love to hear them and maybe even collaborate on a video someday. In the meantime, keep inspiring others.
So my biology teacher D.G kariuki somehow did not explain here well? He advised us that insulin could not be administered in tablet or oral form because it is a hormone and hormones being protein in nature will end up being digested in the digestive tract. Well,
Your biology teacher is absolutely right. Currently, insulin can't be taken as a pill because stomach acids and digestive enzymes would break it down before it enters the bloodstream. However, that's an exciting area of research. Scientists are working on ways to deliver insulin orally, perhaps through special capsules that protect it during digestion. So, while pills aren't an option yet, there might be new ways to take insulin in the future
Ask doctor what about waking up to peeing like 4 times at night yet no thirst no water intake late in the evening. Could it be signs of any medical issues?
There are a few reasons why this might be happening, like hormonal changes or even certain medications. A chat with your doctor, if you feel concerned, could help find out the specifics.
Type 2 diabetes isn't exactly reversible, but you can definitely manage it to a point where you don't need medication and your blood sugar levels are healthy. This is called remission. There are a few ways to achieve remission, and the most common is through weight loss and healthy lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.
Always waiting to listen to him.
Thanks for watching.
