You can do work out videos , or just work out doing in your room by that I mean like sit ups and jumping Jacks. That kind of stuff you know. Or you can even dance which is fun.
Part of the problems we are having in this country, I believe, stems from the formal education we have, or don't have. Basically the public education system we have has not changed over the last century, so what changes would you make if you could and if added cost is involved how would you pay for it.
Your first step should be to attend a diabetes education class -- a free one if your doctor can recommend. Gather some reading materials to learn what foods provide what level of carbs and refer to them often until you have developed a good system for yourself.
Remember that exercise and weight loss (if necessary) are equally important to a good food regimen for controlling diabetes.
(((hug))) I hope your second test turns out okay.
I have a few suggestions for your diet...include very few simple carbs and lots of compex carbs...the complex carbs take longer to digest and are released more slowly into your system, giving your body more time to regulate your glucose levels.
As for exercise, have you tried exercising in the water? Does movement while sitting hurt also?
Was diagnosed 4 years ago w/diabetes type 2. Went to all the classes, was put on Metformin and a couple other meds. Taught to check my blood sugar a couple times a day. Knew I had to lose weight, change to a healthier diet, and get exercise. Was noncompliant with education/meds/blood sugar monitoring/weight loss/exercise/dietary recommendations. Now I have swollen feet and I feel terrible. My feet became very swollen for the first time yesterday.
Hi all, as a professional donating time here, I educate many people on OCD. Education is the first and basic step to knowledge and that helps to make OCD less of a mysterious monster. (Now it can be a known monster, smile). With that in mind, here are a few beginning and super basic OCD articles that anyone can start with and learn about the disorder. There are several experts in the United States that I trust and recommend. First of all is Dr.
I’d like to start exercising but I’d rather do it at home. Any reliable source of exercise videos out there? At what age do i have to start monitoring my cholesterol levels?

t have personal experience with this one, but I work in health care. Is there a diabetes education clinic or group in your area? They can be very helpful in helping you control your sugar levels. Some women can control it with food but not all. That all depends on your results. Your Dr will give you guidance as far as if you need insulin or another medication. But it will be alright, you have a diagnoses and this is something that is treatable. Take care.
Has anybody else had to go try to make their baby turn? And what was your outcome? I have heard its painful then I heard it isn't bad. And also who has gestational diabetes and how do you handle it? What should I expect when I go into labor I am 30 weeks now.
a normal person does not get complications like going blind or loosing toes/feet/legs a normal person never has BG over 120 Joslin Diabetes Center says BG over 136 causes damage that leads to complications. So a lot of people restrict carbohydrates so there BG does not go over 140 some chose 120 some chose 180 (ADA limit).
Consider reading Blood Sugar 101 online or another basic diabetes book. Diabetes education classes are also good IF they give you up to date information which is not always the case. There are many websites and much information online written by people who are successfully managing their diabetes. Remaining consistently over 250 is very dangerous and can lead to complications.
It sounds like it might be diabetes. I say you need to see a doctor asap. I mean it. Don't delay or go to emerg. Describe your symptoms and ask for a blood glucose level test. If you know someone who has diabetes ask to use their monitor to test your blood if you don't want to go to emerg. If your level is higher than 14 or in the 170 range depending on their settings go to the hospital. By the way I'm a nurse and studying in diabetes education so I encourage you to get checked asap.
My hospital set me up with a diabetic education class, and it helped tons.
Believe it or not, the way around being paranoid, to some extent is getting a proper education on diabetes. Was this gestational diabetes? Do you have any other medical conditions that might complicate a pregnancy? Is this type 2 diabetes? If so, get exercise, drink water and eat foods high in fiber and lower in carbohydrates.
When you say "you thought you were in control", were you monitoring your blood glucose levels and how often?
