New survey - most of us have diabetes and dont know it

tell me about it. I found out I was diabetic when I went to the doctor for an earache and he asked me if I knew I was a diabetic. the test had been on my chart for over a year and the doctor I had just had before this doctor had never even mentioned it at all. I was dumbfounded. This was a clinic where the doctors kept being rotated from the Univerisity of Irvine. So then the doctor put me on glyburide and a strict diet. I dieted like crazy and exercised every day and got my blood sugar down to normal so was taken off the glyburide and was just on a good eating plan and exercise.take God for the new doctor who knew what he was doing.

There are many forms of the disease with differing severity. While part of it is more people have unhealthy lifestyles, a good part of the increase in diabetes and many other diseases over the pas couple of decades has to do with better testing methods and more awareness people should get tested.
