I said your comment in a thread yesterday and I suspect it's the same anon that was asking about this a while back. If it's not the same anon, I apologize and feel free to skip the rest of this.

What bothers me is that you're still asking the same questions even though people answered you the first, second and perhaps third time. I was one of them. What's up, anon? For example, you asked again if type 2 diabetes was reversible, because you heard (from... somwhere?) it wasn't. As I told you months and months ago, if your type 2 diabetes was brought on by weight gain, it can go away in the sense that if you get your weight down low enough and maintain a sensible diet, you won't necessarily have to take metformin for the rest of your life. You won't be able to go crazy and binge on carbs and ice cream with no consequences, but you CAN manage this if you put the work in. It has to be a lifestyle change.

My aunt did this, and she was actually on insulin. A gastric bypass and 75+ lbs later, she's off it. I'm currently on metformin and have dropped 35 lbs. over the past couple years. My doc said that if I keep going, I can stop the meds. It doesn't give me gastric issues (after an initial adjustment period) though, so it's not as big of a deal to me.

So diet sensibly, control your portions and exercise regularly. Not overindulging on carbs/sugar will also help lessen the nasty side effects of metformin, IME. Google results you need to look at:

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=type+2+diabetes+reversible

Come on, just read one. The first one is fine.

I appreciate that sometimes people want firsthand info from people who've experienced it, but you've already had several rounds of that and for some reason you don't want to listen to the feedback you asked for. I urged you to read up on your condition because it will help you feel less confused and frustrated about what's going on as well as less depressed about your future. The information is readily available a few clicks away. It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness, anon.

...so you went on this whole rant on the chance that one anon had asked the same question twice?

not even today?

I know, it was a bit extreme. :( If it was the same anon, it's frustrating that they kept coming back with the same questions and the same irrational fears, but not listening to any of the responses they solicited. Plenty of people tried to reassure them and it was weird that they'd rather just see their situation as some sort of worst case scenario instead of, well, reality.

I didn't really read those threads but were they recently diagnosed? If so, I'd lay off. I'd be pretty upset to get a diagnosis like that, and people deal with shit like that in different ways.

I also largely made that comment because I found it weird that you were apparently thinking about this and being invested in it after the fact tbh.

Not your point, but gastric bypass is awful. I've known two people who died after the surgery because they starved to death, another who was fine for the first five years after and is now in kidney failure that his doctors are attributing partly to the surgery, and another who developed chronic kidney stones because of it. Good luck to your Aunt, tbh.

It's been 5-6 years and she's fine, thanks.

I'm the anon from last night, not the anon from before, but thanks for making me feel like shit anyway. It doesn't matter that your rant only assumed it should he directed at me, the utter derision it entails is enough.

And yeah. I'll drop dead before I ever put myself through gastric bypass.

It's a bit odd that you would take something so personally when it has nothing to do with you, but... okay? Good luck with the metformin.

I wasn't advocating gastric bypass.

Holy fuck are you lashing out at people for no reason. Do you feel better now?

Yep. :)

I had a reason: the reason was that I suspected someone who keeps coming here asking questions has no intention of listening to the responses and is not interested in researching their own serious medical condition, which is a foolish thing to do. You may not like or agree with that reason and that's fine! You don't have to. I hope you don't expect me to behave only in ways that meet with your approval though, because you're going to be really, really disappointed.

wow you are being such an asshole. You aren't the emotional police of every anon who comments here and you also clearly made the anon from yesterday feel really bad (don't give me shit about how it wasn't personal, you even titled your comment "Type 2 Diabetes Anon" and then gave them a bunch of crap).

Please stop.

OK
1. You're being an asshole.

2. If OP can't go back to life as it was, then diabetes is not REVERSIBLE, it's MANAGEABLE.

3. Because we all know what a trove of true, easily understood information one can find from google.

1. Okay, thanks.

2. I said as much in my comment already.

3. Just because there are some dubious results on Google does not mean that nobody should ever attempt to research on anything. Part of learning is figuring out what sources are credible and which are less so. I don't really understand your reasoning here.
