Avatar n tn Does anybody have any advice why blood sugar increases after weight training and stays up even 2 hours after dinner ( i do my weight training in the evenings before dinner) and blood sugar only comes down by middle of the night and goes so low that i get hypoglycemia. PLEASE HELP ... thanks i m going crazy trying to figure out how to adjust my insulin..
Avatar n tn Some people are able to control Type 2 diabetes with losing and maintaining healthy weight, lowering carb intake and regular exercise. Some are not, and need medication. It is impossible to answer your question because every diabetic is different and it would depend on how high your numbers were to begin with and what you ate and did. Serious consequences (complications) from diabetes don't occur in 24 hours, they occur over time spent at high numbers.

Avatar n tn This tells me you have developed some bad habits at your young age and will have to work extra hard to overcome them. Bringing down your weight may allow you to stop diabetes in its tracks and get off medication. Another Metformin side effect is weight gain!! With your doctor's help, you should sign up for a (free, if possible) diabetes education class. They will teach you about eating in small portions. (I like to have several small meals throughout the day, spaced 2-3 hours apart.
Avatar m tn BTW. I used to be a personal trainer. If you are weight training for 2 hours a day and concerned with diabetes, I'd change your split and do about 1 hour a day. After an hour of heavy weight training, your testosterone will lower, and cortisol will raise to give you energy. Cortisol screws with insulin, and raises glucose levels. So if you eat a revovery meal after with carbs, and that cortisol is still in your systems, it will spike blood sugar.
Avatar f tn since being diagnosed with prediabetes and losing some weight and changing up how you eat, did your numbers change regarding the pre diabetes diagnosis? I think it is definitely a good goal to get a diet you can maintain without losing weight. You must be extremely thin now! Definitely can understand why you'd like to gain a bit of weight. I found an article that talks about how to gain weight when you have diabetes.

Avatar f tn I have type 2 and have started rowing. I do 30 mins each time and have notice a drop of 50-75pts after exercise. ~180 before exercise and ~125 after.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2007, and have just been diagnosed with MS. How does having both conditions affect life expectancy?
Avatar m tn i was diagnosed Diabetes type 2 in december 2010..I want to know that if someone is diabetic,how much he will live ???
Avatar n tn I'm confused. I have seen several postings with two digit type numbers that are not A1Cs, but self-test numbers. What is this "looks like a pen diagnostic machine" ? Is it something different that a regular glucose meter?
Avatar n tn I am 56 years old and have Type I diabates for 22 years. I continue to gain weight, although I eat less than I ever have before. I work at a computer all day, with little to no daily exercise. I know that growing older my metabolism has slowed, but I continue to gain weight from anywhere to 3 to 5 pounds a week! Does insulin cause weight gain? What else can I do other than signing up for an expensive gym workout session?
Avatar f tn This statement in the above post needs clarification - "As far as weight is concerned more and more evidence points to "non-inherited and medicinally induced" diabetes being caused by overweight/obesity." Should read, "As far as weight is concerned more and more evidence points to the onset of diabetes caused by overweight/obesity, but not for those who inherited the gene, or are medicinally induced.
Avatar n tn I am a long distancer runner training for a marathon. I have lived with type 1 diabetes for thirteen years. I use the Bernstein dietary regimen and "exercise technique", which consists of eating small amounts of dextrose while running to compensate for the hypoglycemic effect of exercise. The aim is to keep blood sugar normal at all times. It works. Google "Bernstein diabetes" for the book.
Avatar n tn Although there's no cure for type 2 diabetes, studies show it's possible for some people to reverse it. Through diet changes and weight loss, you may be able to reach and hold normal blood sugar levels without medication. This doesn't mean you're completely cured. Type 2 diabetes is an ongoing disease.
Avatar f tn Many of us with hepatitis C, even those of us who are cured, are dealing with type 2 diabetes. Losing weight and eating low carb is very helpful. My doctor put me on metformin which dropped my fasting blood sugar closer to normal range. But the thing that helped the most was cutting way down on carbs and losing 10 pounds. My A1C went from 6.0 to 5.6.
Avatar n tn I too have type one diabetes and struggled to lose weight over several years. Unfortunately took the unhealthy route and had extemely high blood sugars for several years to strip the pounds away (my health is now terribly effected) In an attempt to regain my health I have recently started on the pump. My endocrinologist was suprised to know how much insulin I was on before the pump.
Avatar f tn I just realized that I haven't seen my diabetes specialist in about three years. On my last visit she "discharged" me to the care of my internist. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 5 years ago, at age 62. My glucose levels are stable at around 110, hB!ac 5.9. I've recently lost 25 kg, do some mild exercise and feel good. I'm taking metformin twice a day (750 mg).
Avatar f tn I too have Type 2 diabetes. And it is a constant battle against sugar and gaining weight. Diabetes86 is right, there is really no silver bullet. Just got to keep on working at finding what works for you.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is different from type 1 diabetes, which isn't reversible. Type 2 can generally be reversed by changing your diet and getting plenty of exercise. The reason is that type 2 is caused by the body not being able to absorb or use the insulin it creates.
Avatar m tn i have type 2 diabetes and take metformin. i am trying to lose weight by doing the 2 meal replacement shakes from herbalife. is herbalife bad or good for type 2 diabetes. i drank a shake this morning for breakfast and then tested my blood sugar it was 170 and the night before when i went to bed it was 110. i'm also working out trying to lose weight. does herbalife meal replacement shakes raise your blood sugar, therefore bad for type 2 diabetes ?
Tbd I have reversed pre diabetes (A1C 5.7 down to 4.9) and my brother has reversed insulin dependent Type 2 (A1C now 5.2) and no longer taking ANY medications for diabetes or high blood pressure. It is controversial due to big pharma and the sugar and corn industries. But it works. If you want to learn more check out the 2ketodudes for starters.
