My mom was Type II diabetic, and she took a pill to manage, but this was more than 30 years ago, and I was too young and focused on myself to understand the details. I don’t remember her talking about a future with restored insulin function.
Recently, my BiL was diagnosed pre-diabetic, so he shifted his diet and activity level and avoided diabetes.
Suffice to say, I don’t understand how Type II diabetes works. Is there an exit? Or, is this insulin functioning as the new normal?
As for kidney disease, I’m in it. After all the tests, my nephrologist thinks some trauma in my 20’s has finally caught up. When I was 22, I was thrown from a motorcycle traveling 70+ mph, and he didn’t give a definitive, but said it’s likely. The exit strategy is to putter along with whatever function I have, minimizing phosphates, sodium, potassium, and avoiding NSAIDs.
