Type 1 and Type 2 are so different the way its handled at you providers office.
But I do know this,
Get a good endocrinologist and nutritionist if your insurance covers.
And good luck. It isn’t a death sentence.
Just a lifestyle change will make a big big difference.
10 years Type 2 here, diagnosed in my 40s. My diabetes was likely accelerated by an undiagnosed pituitary tumour that left me with no energy to do anything. Coupled with a family history of T2D and obesity I was very likely going to end up with it at some point.
Started on Metformin, Jardiance was added when my A1C started going up, and added Ozempic about 18 months ago. I lost weight with each medication along with treating the pituitary tumour, I’m now down about 55lbs from my peak and another 8-9 lbs would take me out of overweight and into normal with an A1C of 5.5 which my doctor is very pleased with.
I would say it doesn’t affect me day-to-day. My blood sugar sits between 4.5-9 mmol/L (80-160 in USAian units).
