5501743 tn?1390296087 I went on the diabetic diet :) or gluten free!!!
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 Ive read many problems concerning the Diabetic diet posted on the diabetes website that it hurts the diabetics more than helping them. Is this true? What do you think?
Avatar f tn Does anyone else had diabetic in here and how do u maintain it during pregnancy and is my baby girl have Any risk bcuz of diabetics?
Avatar n tn I have been pre-diabetic for several years now. I have a meter to moniter my levels when I dont feel right. Recently I have had several days in a row with readings between 170-220 , even after sleeping for 8 hours. Then levels go back to normal range without any apparent change in diet or exercise. Whenever the doc orders fasting tests i am in the normal range. I have done the glucose tolerance test twice, the first test made me crash too low after 2-3 hours "63".
686681 tn?1227305438 Well, here goes! I have 9 ruptured discs in my back and surgery has been ruled out. I have been diagnosed with Fibro, Restless Leg, Sciatic nerve compression, periferal neuropathy, compression neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, spinal stenosis, and, o yeah, I'm diabetic. The pain has increased substantially to the point where I have no quality of life. I take Lyrica, several diabetic medicines, 40 Mg Oxycontin three times a day with 10 Mg/325 Peercoset for blow over pain.
Avatar f tn If your stomach is not flat at that weight, you may need to add fiber to your diet. You must be constipated or be bloated with gas. Yoga can also help these issues. When you exercise, you must work your muscles and concentrate on holding your abs flat. If you push them out, you are teaching them to protrude.
2009318 tn?1328025437 I have been diabetic since age 8 and now i am 29 years old and finnally got my diabetes under control enough to get prenant. I am now 21 weeks along and the doc says me and the baby are healthy but I still have high blood sugars for time to time. I worry that I could be damaging the baby. When I have these high blood sugars of 300 or more i can feel the baby kick and move is that a good or bad thing?
Avatar n tn I do not know if there is a published diet, but I can tell you what I do to minimize the effects of gastroparisis. I have been diabetic for over 40 years, and suffered the effects of this complication for about 25 of them. I have found that eliminating any food that is hard or slow to break down makes the problem much less severe for me. I no longer eat any red meat, focusing on fish and chicken.
Avatar f tn What do you think of this situation. I have been a T2 diabetic for 9 years. diagnosed in Colorado. Through diet and exercise I became totally controlled, BG before eating 74 to 90 and after eating , never above 180 My Dr said" If he didn't know I was a diabetic he would swear I wasn't" I moved to a different state, New Dr. He told me ( after Blood work) That I wasn't a diabetic and never had been. I argued with him , told him what my Dr in Co. had said...

Avatar m tn I concur completely with WaveRiders advice to you. I also want to reinforce her recommendation of Dreamfield's pasta. I am a diabetic and I love it, my wife is not diabetic and she loves the Dreamfield's. I serve it to my guest and they can't taste any differences. It cost a little more than regular pasta, but my and your health are worth the extra change.
1085545 tn?1284042254 t get rid of diabetes, but you can control it with a combination of proper diet, exercise and perhaps some oral medications if you are Type 2. You need to get much more information and perhaps meet with a diabetic educator to figure out what will work for you. Good luck. This disease can be managed with knowledge and proper attention.
Avatar m tn my question is a type 2 diabetic person can feel weakness and lazy to do activities. thank you.
Avatar m tn Without knowing your weight, height, or current activity level it's hard to have any idea where you should start on as far as calories. Personally I count calories and use an online program to help determine if the fat, protein, and carbs are at the correct levels. (They show the amount and percent of calories I get from each group.
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor to refer you to a diabetic dietician to help you understand about diet. The types of foods to avoid are those that are highly processed and have high quantities of sugar. Be aware that low fat foods do not necessarily mean low sugar. It is still very important to have a healthy and well balanced diet and to choose the types of foods that slowly release energy in your body. For example, sugar foods will spike your blood sugars very quickly and then drop very quickly.
Avatar f tn ) You probably would do best on the diabetic diet, I know it is hard to diet, but sometimes it is absolutely necessary. I really don't want to see anyone else go thru what my brother did but I know many persons pass from many diff liver diseases in this world.
Avatar n tn im needing to find a simple diabetic diet plan. the doctor gave me one but it seems really complicated. does anyone know any good sources for diabetic diet plans?
Avatar f tn I switched to an Atkins-like lifestyle about a year ago after being told I had be become a type 2 diabetic. I reduced my carbohydrate intake to less than 50 grams per day. I found that my overall heart rhythm improved and noticed a reduction in the number of PVC's.
Avatar f tn Woww, you lucky to have found out this early in your pregnancy. I've had gestational diabettes, basically you need to take extra care of yourself and your eating habits. otherwise, not only will you feel real bad, your baby will suffer for it. Call your treating hospital and they will provide you with education on the subject. You can also google for more information.

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.
Avatar n tn I have had diabetes for 7 years and recently worked with the diabetes educator at one of my local hospitals as a high school intern. We did a lot of teaching about diabetic socks. Diabetic socks are not a scam. People with diabetes are supposed to wear cotton socks so that the socks breathe. Also diabetic socks are supposed to help with keeping good circulation to the feet. Since people with diabetes need to take extra care of their feet.
