Hello @mariepaschali
I just read your post about inflammation and diabetes. I was concerned as was, Sue (@sueinmn), at your comments about diabetes vs inflammation. I'm taking an online course now on diabetes and a poor diabetic diet is described as poisoning your body. Uncontrolled diabetes causes muscle wasting, heart/kidney problems, and blood vessel problems, just to name a few.
If you would like to learn more about diabetes, here is the link, https://www.coursera.org/learn/diabetes
I hope that your inflammation the diabetes problems resolve themselves. I hope to hear from you again. Will you post an update?
I understand the pain of hyper-inflammatory response in the body. I have had lots of days when even clothing hurts!
But your comment, "...Diabetes is not as serious as inflammation , for me..." really worries me because you are very unlikely to die of inflammation, but uncontrolled diabetes is a killer. So yes, pursue a needle-free monitoring protocol, but please, don't go untested.
If you have poorly controlled diabetes, either Type 1 or 2, low blood sugars can be as devastating as high ones, leading to unconsciousness and even death. What if that happened while you were driving and it endangered other people?
And chronically high blood sugars can lead to infection & amputation, strokes, or multiple organ damage & failure - sometimes over a short period of time. My daughter, as a high school nurse, has at least one or two kids every year hospitalized, sometimes in the ICY, for poor diabetes control, so it can happen at any age.
Please let me know that you are checking your blood sugars daily...just knowing your A1C every 3 months is just not enough.
