Do the glucose levels go up with people who don't have diabetes? When they eat something sugary or carbs ? Do they go up , just not as far as with us? ( diabetics) I'm fairly new to this, I take Avandamet 2x a day, no insulin. Supposed to be checking levels but I don't anymore unless I eat something I haven't had since this started. Doc isn't a great help. He tells me to eat what I want, live my life

O.k.thanks everyone info is greatly appreciated. And yes, I want to go to an endo but I want to pay off this doc before I get another bill going. I've had monsterous health for the past three years and owe a surgeon, two hematologists, the hospital, the GP and the anesthtist < the guy who knocks you out for surgery> so adding another bill right now isn't a good idea. And there's only one endo in town :rolleyes: But I do have a good idea of what and when to eat so I'm keeping it under control. I do plan on taking a diabetes class. The thing is, the doc told me if I lost weight this would go away, so I lost the weight. Now he says I have to stay on the Avandamet because my pancreas wants it. So I was thinking all this time it was a temporary situation and put off the classes.
