diabetes

Avatar f tn borderline diabetic, cirrohsis, bi-polar, migraines, and food allergies to coconut and mustard. I have one form of information that says to drink lots of fluids including fruit juices. Another says to avoid simple carbs - like fruit juices! These type of conflicting advice sorces are very frustrating to someone who was just recently found out that they had Hep C and stage four cirrohsis!
Avatar m tn s blood sugar is well controlled with her current regimen, a big change in diet could lead to unstable blood sugar. A diabetic diet is calorie restricted. Diabetics have to manage their intake of calories and especially carbohydrates to prevent peaks and drops in blood sugar. If your mother were to fast, her blood sugar could become dangerously low. Additionally, when people come off a fast they tend to over compensate which could lead to her blood sugar spiking.
Avatar f tn Well.. Today is my last day of eating the usual (time for my diet restrictions again..) With i digested food comes other functions..i chose no treatment So I will simply moderate the simple basics (odor..watery texture..etc) .. Closer to the last days.. I’m looking at the sky..
10869131 tn?1430198496 When I went for my glucose, I had to drink something that tasted like flat orange soda. It was cold, which I heard is much easier to take. They required me to take drink it all within 5min., then I had to wait an hr to draw blood. They then told me the results a few days later. That was it! I didn't have any restrictions on my diet & since they didn't mention it, then you're probably good to go on eating normal.
868616 tn?1239866236 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.
455126 tn?1212432198 I was able to eat normal food the day after I took the RAI. But by that time I was so freakin hypo and miserable it didn't even matter anymore!
Avatar m tn There are no food restrictions on those two medications.
Avatar m tn Well, pandemic or not, we still have to be healthy. There is plenty we can do indoors with youtube and dvd's made for living room exercise. Buy a treadmill or stationary bike if that isn't your thing. My YMCA did online zoom classes for at home participation in exercise. a small set of weights is nice to have. Lots you can do. And you know that will help, I"m sure. The eating I understand too. McDonalds here and there won't hurt you. Daily? Ya, not so good.
Avatar n tn How about a tracker for daily food intake for those of us who track foods for diabetic and other health issues? Breakfast-Snack-Lunch-Snack-Dinner-bedtime snack.
1720613 tn?1309432604 Proper nutrition means to accentuate the positive when it comes to food. I dislike the word diet. “Diet” implies a rigorous, self-sacrificial discipline that’s doomed to fail. Instead, focus on achieving food goals of what you should eat each day rather than what you shouldn’t eat.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn You can google food for heart patients. There will be links to food to avoid, food that is helpful....but always check with your doctor and have appropriate blood work done before following any of the research suggestions from any source. You may have comcomitant health issues, an allergy, etc. and your doctor may place certain restrictions based on your over all health.
Avatar f tn If he is on triple tx, with Incivek for the first 12 weeks, he will actually be forced to eat a very high fat diet during that stage (20 mg of fat within 30 minutes prior to pill), as that medication is carried and absorbed via fat. Other than that one drug there are no real dietary restrictions except eating enough and including some fats for better absorption of the ribavirin. Most people lose their appetite and lose some weight while on interferon and ribavirin.
5501743 tn?1390296087 I went on the diabetic diet :) or gluten free!!!
Avatar f tn There are all kinds of food they say not to eat most of it is a precaution, I personally at everything lol my diet was horrible but I couldn't be satisfied till I ate what I craved ... I had one cup of coffee or a soda every day and my baby is not only healthy he's advanced for his age....
Avatar f tn You should be meeting with a dietician and a diabetes specialist (mine is a nurse practitioner but that's obviously not necessarily the only type of professional who can help) who will be able to start you with dietary restrictions and a testing regimen to begin to monitor and control your diabetes. Many women are able to control their sugars with diet alone, which is the closest thing you'll find to a "natural remedy".
212753 tn?1275073111 There are indeed many restrictions being diabetic. Please to not take to the river, De-Nile is not a good place to be.
1621269 tn?1327203489 Was wondering about diet restrictions when pregnant and how strict generally people are with their diet. So drinking caffeine, eating cold meats, raw fish, shellfish & oysters (i love miss them so much) and cooking meats to well-done etc. On one hand, i think women have been having babies since the dawn of time and these restrictions are recent and children have, in the most cases, been born fine.
Avatar n tn It is not coming down even after severe dietary restrictions. Literature indicates possible B6 source could be intestinal bacteria. She is discovering many others have a high B6 level that doesn't correlate with diet or supplements. She's suffering from all the classic signs of hypervitaminosis relative to B6 toxicity. Is there any research into this you can point us to? Is there any way to reduce the B6 level if diet won't do it? Would limiting zinc or magnesium help?
Avatar f tn I was sent for a liver scan and told that I am F3. I have been a diabetic for 4 years, about 60 lbs overweight. My Alt and Ast are normal. I am thinking of having a sleeve gastrectomy and I am wondering if anyone else has had one done and did it make the fibrosis better? I really don't want to go thru the surgery with all its restrictions if it is not going to help. Thanks for any input.
Avatar f tn Hi, thanks for the answer. I already had the thyroid test and I don't have any problem with that, is just the hiperinsulinim and the PCOs, and also I've already been treated with medication but my doctor said that I don't needed anymore.
