Evillady My question is where is the best place to get information about cooking for a person with type 2 diabetes? Cause I have type 2 diabetes but I am not a very good cook so I need help.
Avatar m tn m not using the word Cure, there certinly is help in the way of herbs, diet and exercise. Each person is different and how they react to different remedies may be different so what helps or works for one person may not bring the same results in another. A lot would depend on whether you are borderline or more in the range that requires Insulin ( higher numbers ). Do your research and read whatever is available to make an informed decision yourself.

798555 tn?1292787551 It's tough to use herbs when you have diabetes anyway -- especially Type !. Because you have to monitor your blood sugar, using herbs that lower blood sugar require a lot of monitoring, and if people don't do it they can go too low. As for you, Gym is right, diet is by far the most important factor. It and exercise will determine if you go diabetic or not, not the thyroid. Personally, because you have the Hashimotos, I'd consult a naturopath and a physician who is open to herbs.
Avatar f tn I would add the herbs "Milk Thistle" and "Dandelion" to the diet, these can be purchased in either capsule form or liquid. I like the liquid (tincture) as it gets in the system faster and is easier to assimilate. These herbs are known for their ability to help strengthen the liver and combat hepatitis.
Avatar n tn A year later, he has lost 15 pounds and really is watching his diet. He is not on any oral agent, or insulin. His A1C now was 6.4 with his average 137. He checks his sugars randomly during the day, and they are always below 120. Could he be running high at night for his average to be up? I also know that at times he does check his sugar before bedtime and it's in the 60's. Is there anything he can do to avoid going on oral agents and insulin?
Avatar n tn Here in Philippines bitter melon is a popular folk treatment for diabetes. However, it doesn't cure and if your diabetes is already bad it won't help much. It also doesn't replace the need for diet, exercise, and regular meds.... but then anything that helps stabilise blood sugar would be helpful. Yes you're right, ti doesnt work if you take sugar or junk foods.
Avatar m tn will what you consider to be an unhealthy diet as opposed to what you consider a healthy diet allow the treatment drugs to linger longer and thereby be more likely to result in SVR" - I'll go out on a limb here and say no - eat what you want with the typical restraints like low carbs with diabetes and low fat with high cholesterol. Other than that I think you can pursue your obsession with diet and supplements and whatever else you want to throw in there.
Avatar m tn also, i am tired a lot and feel weak in general. I admit i have a bad diet but im not overweight (if anything im underweight). I have very little appitite and i smoke. I drink occasionally but not to excess. Also I have noticed that on occasion i have blood in my stools. Could all of this be related or am i just stressing about nothing?
278469 tn?1219245951 After being diagnosed with Diabetes I have become addicted to the Diet Soda, Light Yogurt, sugarless gum, etc. I am new to this (Epilepsy) forum and had never considered that this could aid in the occurance of seizures. When reading your comment I thought about the fact that I do suffer some memory loss. I have to endure the grand mal seizures and take both Depakote & Phenobarbital. My license has been revoked (Thank God) once my seizures began to occur while awake.

This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/722103'>How do i lower my hemoglobin A1c?</a>.
Avatar m tn I was told that if you lose 15% of your body weight within a 6 month period without doing anything to try to lose it (like exercise or diet) then it could be cancer or diabetes. Have you been tested for diabetes?
Avatar m tn I have lost down to 218 in the past three months through diet and exercise and cut out all fried foods. My question is this, should I be doing anything further to reverse this diagnosis or is it reversible? Obviously this diagnosis was not the only reason for starting to get into better shape, but a more active lifestyle seems to have helped the symptoms of this as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn There are herbs called adaptogens that probably will be more effective and have much longer usage history to prove their effectiveness, for example, holy basil and ashwagandha will help balance the adrenals. However, and this is a problem for you, most natural products that lower cortisol also lower blood sugar, which means you have a problem using natural adrenal balancers until you discover what in your diet is leaving you with low blood sugar.
