‘The idea of giving birth from my genitals gives me so much dysphoria & I’m worried about being misgendered in the delivery room, should I have a c-section?’

@Medical_Nemesis@KarlTMD1@DoctorTro Teaching patients to make better choices by providing information on nutrition labels goes a long way. Their own diet can be cleaned up by reducing hidden sugars.
@marecl63@DoctorTro I recommend the same thing to everyone regardless of diabetes. Regular exercise (weight lifting and aerobics or HIIT), and Mediterranean diet with plenty of protein which usually ends up low in carbs.
@KarlTMD1@DoctorTro Jardiance is now being used for heart failure. Any idea why? Because the side effect that almost killed me, helps anemia in heart patients.
@KarlTMD1@DoctorTro SGLT2s almost killed me. Thickened my blood, emaciated me. Misdiagnosed as polycethemia vera. 16 months of treatment. Bedridden. A1c in the 10s.
@KarlTMD1@DoctorTro I lost 65 lbs as soon as I was diagnosed. Low carb, hi protein. A1c went from 18.6 down to 6.1 in 6 months. Metformin and diet. Strong family history of t2 and t1.
