  • Do type 2 diabetics take insulin shots?

    Yes, type 2 diabetes over the years if do not take corrective changes to their lifestyle can eventually lead to burning out of their pancreas' ability to make insulin which is known as "burned out" pancreas and that can need insulin shots. Secondly, when blood sugars are high consistently in range of 200mg/dl that can lead to faster destruction of the beta cells that make insulin in body and that person would also need to start on insulin shots to get the sugars in control and prevent from further damage to the beta cells. Starting on insulin early on in that situation would help preserve beta cells and simultaneously working on lifestyle modification would have a better chance to get sugars controlled and come off insulin sooner with that.

  • Which diabetes uses insulin shots?

    Type 1 diabetes, in which a person is not making any insulin, obviously needs lifelong insulin therapy. Type 1.5, or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood, which typically occurs in the 2nd to 4th decade of life and many times is falsely diagnosed as type 2, also requires insulin therapy. The issue is that insulin production is very minimal, so not enough to control blood sugars without insulin, but enough to prevent from going into diabetic keto-acidosis. Thirdly, type 2 diabetes where there is insulin resistance and if blood sugars not controlled can lead to burning out of pancreas sooner and need insulin therapy. READ MORE

  • Is a glucose meter bought from a chemist accurate? Will intermittent fasting help bring down my HbA1C level?

    Hello, hemoglobin A1c of 5.2% is well in the normal range but it only gives one part of the information regarding their insulin functioning. One can get more information about the status of their insulin functioning by getting a 12 hour fasting morning lab draw for insulin and glucose level at the same time. Goal insulin level (fasting) should be under 5 and concurrent glucose below 90mg/dl to have an optimal level. As the number on the insulin and the glucose check fasting starts tracking higher, suggests that one is slowly becoming insulin resistant which can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes. Yes, 12 -14 hours of intermittent fasting overnight on a daily basis is one of the effective strategy to prevent developing insulin resistance and diabetes. READ MORE
