Hi, How does a doctor decide if a person with TYPE 2 diabetes requires insulin tablets or just a healthy regime (exercise/ diet) to control it? Thanks

j o asked:


I mean, the type of diabetes that you can get from your diet; i think its type two diabetes. not the one that passes down from family members.

what i mean is, what contributes to it? what kind of diet? people say its just “if you’re overweight” but some people are not overweight but unhealthy anyway. im actually underweight, but i eat alot of sugery stuff and alot of meat etc.

so what particular excessive intake causes diabetes? is it too much suger? too much fat? am i likely to get it if im underweight? are some people naturally more susceptable to it than others?

I just found out that I’m a diabetic type 2. Am taking metformin once a day. I have gallstones and what to know if I can do a liver flush to try and remove them. I’d rather keep my gallbladder if I can. Appreciate any information……

Simple Simon asked:


Also, is it a misconception that eating too much sugary foods would cause a person to develop diabetes? Are there any relations, direct or indirect, between too much glucose and developing diabetes? Help greatly appreciated

R0BOT1KK asked:


I am a 16 year old male, the oldest kid in my family. My sister who is 11 was diagnosed with type 1 about a year ago, and my 1st cousin who is 4 years old was diagnosed about a month ago. Obviously this means that the rest of us are at risk for also developing the disease. I was wondering what the chances of me getting it are? also what age does the risk start to decline?

thank you!
