Diabetic since Long : 3 Life-Changing Tips

So your doctor just told you it's time to increase your meds or start insulin?

I get it - that sinking feeling in your stomach, the worry about what this means for your future.

Take a deep breath. Before automatically accepting more medication, consider these three crucial factors

1. Test Your Natural Insulin Production
Get a C-peptide test done - both fasting and post-meal (PP).

This simple blood test reveals how much insulin your body is actually producing:
Fasting C-peptide should be above 1
Post-meal C-peptide should be around 3.5

If your levels are adequate, the real issue might be insulin resistance, not insulin deficiency.

Focus on addressing the resistance rather than just adding more medication.

2. Master Your Daily Numbers
Make it a non-negotiable habit - Keep fasting sugars below 140 for at least 25 days per month

Maintain HbA1c below 7

Why? After 10 years of diabetes, we consistently see complications affecting eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart.

Prevention is always better than treatment.

3. Believe in Transformation
Here's the most important fact - Reversal is possible.

Even with 10+ years of diabetes, thousands have achieved freedom from this condition. You deserve that same opportunity.

Don't let fear drive your decisions. Let knowledge and confidence guide your journey toward better health.

Your body has incredible healing potential. Sometimes it just needs the right approach.

P.S. What’s one thing you wish doctors told you earlier?
