How many of you are diabetic

In addition to many other illnesses, I am also diabetic, I regularly monitor my blood sugar levels and current medication seem to keep these levels under the control.

I don’t have diabetes as far as I know, but abilify raised my blood sugar and I had to be treated as if I had ‘natural’ diabetes. So I’m on metformin.

I have blood tests every 3 months anyway, so I’ll find out next time if my metformin dose needs to be adjusted.

I have an medical appointment in 09/2016 to do some checkup exams.
To see if I have diabetes, to see cholesterol levels etc

I go between pre-diabetic off meds to diabetic on meds

I don’t have it, but I have one of the effects that develops on the body with diabetes. It’s called acanthosis nigracans and it has appeared on the back of my back and on my underarms. Luckily I haven’t been diagnosed with diabetes yet but I fear that I could become that way if I let myself get any worse. :cold_sweat:

I am diabetic, but I control it through diet and exercise.

I’m definitely not diabetic.
