diabetes diet update

ve just finished doing a lot of research on the findings regarding diet, ageing, heart disease, diabetes, cancer etc. Latest findings seem to suggest that a particular growth factor increases in our bodies when we consume protein, and this causes all those illnesses. The growth factor is high in nearly every resident in developed countries and it switches all the cells in the body to a different condition. There are two apparent conditions which cells can adopt.

Healthy diet: Following a healthy, balanced diet is key to managing diabetes. This includes eating plenty of vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while limiting sugary and processed foods. Regular exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve overall health. It is recommended to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.

Doc thinks Hildie may have gone into remission, with the diabetes being well controlled by change of diet, more activity and loss of her big belly ( 10 1/2# now).

Okay, first some history about myself, I suffered a panic attack in Nov. 06 and ever since then have suffered from a lot of anxiety. I'm not very active and don't really eat the best diet. For a few years now, in between meals I would feel kinda shaky and feel that I needed to eat. I asked a friend who happens to be a nutrisionist and she said it might be hypoglycemia. Now to my question or I guess concern.

my mom 78yo was dx with diabetes last wk (bld sugar 257)only symptom was tired and dry mouth..she prob had it for a while.she would eat candy and her diet was sporadic, apetitie down,,,.her dr wants her to try diet first...her sugars this past week, fasting, run about 180-240...she has stopped all sugars, is eating better, 3 meals a day, wheat breads, salad/vegs/fruit uses sugar free sodas and occass has had sugar free cookies....todays fbs was 288..I'm not sure what caused it...

I have recently noticed that I have diabetes , I'm 40+ years old , I measured my sugar level at home and it ranges from 270 -370 when I'm fast ( 8-12 hours without eating and drinking) and when I after eating it also ranges from 250-270 . I went to the doctor to make full body analysis for diabetes and the blood sugar level was 290 , he prescribed me two tablets / day of Glucophage 1000mg and one tablet / day of ACTOS 30mg.

s not that big of a deal if you just pay attention and follow the docs instructions... a lot of women are able to control gestational diabetes simply thru diet, no insulin necessary. Take a deep breath, relax and wait to see if you fail or pass the 3 hr. Atleast you'll know someone else is sitting there going thru the same thing....

Katie (my doc) wants us to consider Metformin because it can be used as a treatment for pre-diabetes. My aunt is on Metformin for pre-diabetes to prevent it from progressing, though her condition is far worse than mine ever has been.

Wouldn't it be beneficial to have a diet tracker so one could the relationship to weight, diabetes, sleep or any one of a number of other conditions and variables. It needn't have every food in details but cover groups of foods.

Dear winkster, Actually a diabetic diet is really only what a healthy diet would be for people without diabetes. And fruits are a part of that even though they have sugar it get metabolized like any other carbohydrates.

No but b glad... means ur diet is working.

It's very normal. I have gestational diabetes and I've gained 12 pounds and I'm almost 36 weeks pregnant. If you're following your diet, that's why you're not gaining a ton of weight. Only be concerned if your doctor is.

Can you clarify? You absolutely need to follow a diabetic diet, so there's no choice there. Are you on one you don't like? What is it you're looking for exactly?

Hi everyone. Just an update on me. I'm 29 weeks. Had a dr's appointment yesterday to get results of bloodwork and my glucose test. I have gestational diabetes. My blood pressure is also still rising (160-90 yesterday). I also have low potassium and elevated creatine. He gave me a prescription for potassium and now I have to monitor blood sugar and blood pressure at home and be on a diabetic diet. I also have to see him once a week now.

Hildiekatt developed diabetes. Chesapeake developed congestive heart failure. These are the 2 girls we lost this year, though Hildie succumbed to lymphoma, after she had gone into remission from the diabetes.

I went to the doc today and he gave me my results....my blood sugar is 217. I knew that this would happen again but I wanted it to wait another month or two. My doc is going to put me on a diet after this weekend. I told him that you can't put a pregnant woman on a diet and he laughed right along with me. Then he said oh yes I can. Silly doctors. Baby's heartbeat still in the 160's and get U/S next month to find out what I'm having and I can't wait.
