He is supposed to control his diet but he still eating the same old crap and is also a big meal skipper. Rather than knowing he is predisposed to diabetes because of his familiy history and being african american, he assumes its just something he can’t prevent.

Maria Therese asked:


After completeing a glucose tolerance test with the results finding hypoglycemia, how can a doctor call it type two diabetes? How would glimiperide or glipizide help this condition? I guess I don’t understand how these two medications work. Can anyone explain it? Thanks..

I’ve always had lots of sugar, and don’t seem to have symptoms of diabetes. How can I know if I have it?
Also, how do you know if you have bad blood? I ask because I’ve always ate unhealthy food, for like 10 years.
