Dr. W. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "fat and happy." Well, it's not just folklore. The same carbs that make you fat (and contribute to diabetes and other problems) also make you happy. It's simple science: Carbs allow more of the amino acid L-tryptophan to penetrate your brain. The L-tryptophan triggers your brain to make more serotonin, and the serotonin makes you feel happier. It's as simple as that!
d suggest getting a carb-counter booklet at a bookstore -- in the section of diet books -- many calorie counting books contain carb amounts too.
My number one recommendation is: don't allow diabetes to change your son's life. We look at it as an inconveniece (to say the least,) but it hasn't changed anything my son would normally do. He's a lifeguard and does Tour de France style bike racing.
that insulin is taken according to how many carbs are eating and YOUR particular carb to insulin ratio.
I am looking for some type of electronic, hand-held carb counter that has a library of foods pre-programmed into it. I would like it to be able to plug in the portion size and have it calculate the total carbs. Plus, I'd like to be able to add foods to it. Although his pump can do some of this already, I'd like to have a separate calculator that isn't attached to his body.
I would also like to get a dry/liquid measuring set and a kitchen scale for home use.
The chicken is fine as it is protein, but the corn and the plaintains are quite high in carbs for a portion. Its a starchy vegetable. Check the glycemic index or a carb counter book. You can find this info online. I love corn also, just dont have it to often anymore.
Bulgar, Himalayan red rice, wild rice, Quinoa, ate all supposed to be better than plain white rice. Research shows sourdough to be better than even what bread. But ultimately tough have to try different things and check your blood after every meal and see what causes biggest spikes. Like for me I just can't do potatoes.
I have been Experiencing a pretty nasty skin rash on my chest, Lower back, under arms and stomach since I have stated a low-carb diet. When I noticed the rash about 6 months ago I was just trying the program for the first time and neither myself or my doctor connected the two together. After about 2 weeks of induction (less than 20 carbs per day) I began to slowly reintroduce foods back into my diet and the rash began to fade away.
I use insulin and prefer to stick with the carb/fat/protein breakdowns meaning I have to use carb counter books to figure out the values of what I eat so that I can match 1 unit of Humalog against 10 grams of carbs. I just started using Lantus and it works like a miracle now! So, you need to give more specifics about type of diabetes, medications, exercise, etc. and timing of meals.
She has only been on insulin and low carb diet for a coupe weeks but her blood glucose levels have been consistently good. I know this may change, and several people (mostly Type 11 patients) have told me giving her Vitamin B12 and chromium would help. My question s are has anyone here tried those supplements or others? How did your physician feel about it? and are nutraceutical supplements safe for a child as young as mine?
Then went straight to the frig for some fruit. Carbs seemed to keep the nausea down throughout the day. Counter act all the carb consumption with fruit and your diet should balance out so you don't gain to much weight to fast. Drunk lots of fluids like milk water and juice. Unfortunately the first trimester is pretty bad about the sickness so you will want to rest a lot. Hopefully it will subside by the 18th or 20th week. You could also try sea bands.
Diet can play a role. If you fast or are on a low carb diet, bad breath can happen. Also, when we get dehydrated, our breath can be pungent. Carrots and apples help counter act this. You don't smoke do you? That's an easy one to say would be a cause. Do you have allergies?
Obese adults followed one of the two diets for two years. Those on the low-carb diet had significantly higher cravings for carbohydrates and high-fat foods, although they were less bothered by hunger.
Levemir is a background insulin NOT intended to counter eating carbohydrates. for meal insulin she will need a rapid insulin like Apidra or novalog. counting carbs and taking a rapid insulin based on HER particular insulin/carb ratio will work better at lowering her after meal numbers.
Also eating carbohydrates... ALL carbs raise BG. what does she eat? I eat under 25gr of carbs per meal.
I think that what you are eating or NOT eating could also be a very important factor that your doctor may not be tuned into. I am an IDDM and for the last year I have been overweight - and very uncomfortable with it. I put it on because I had to be completely sedentary for many months in order to stabilize the injury I received from a high impact accident.
Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. I'm glad you realized the error of your ways. The cause of your weight loss is absolutely your high blood sugars. As the body doesn't get the insulin it needs, it begins to consume itself.
The most important thing to do, as you know, is to get your blood sugars back under control. It sounds like you know how to manage your blood sugars once you get them back in range. Have you checked for ketones?
Last year I mysteriously gained 40 lbs in 3 months despite a lifetime of being slim, eating low carb, and exercising like a "gym rat". I started out last May being Hypo and was put on Armour-only lost 4 lbs from that. More tests were run and found out that I have Adrenal Exhaustion as well as Hormonal Disorder, especially high cortisol levels. I was also given bioidentical hormones and lost 13 lbs from that in 2 mos.
