I exercise every day, 7 days a week, by walking 1-1.5 miles. I also take Zumba classes. I watch everything I eat and keep a daily journal of food intake and exercise and calories burned. It can be done without meds (I am doing it) but it is not easy and takes dedication. But hey, aren't you worth it?
JUST HAD AN IDEA. HOW ABOUT A FOOD JOURNAL. IT'S HAS BEEN ON ALOT OF NEWS COVERAGE. IT SEEMS PEOPLE LOOSE MORE WHEN THEY CAN KEEP TRACK OF WHAT THERE IN TAKE IS.
For the diet approach, I pulled up a list of Food Choices for reducing triclycerides. It lists Bad, Better, and Best food choices. Listed under the "Bad Foods" were colas and diet drinks......my drink of choice is Diet Coke or Pepsi. What are in diet colas that make them detrimental to reducing triclycerides??
Slash Diabetes Risk with Natural Diet and Fresh Vegetables
Diabetes continues to grow at a staggering rate with 1.6 million new cases being diagnosed each year in the US. The American Diabetes Association estimates that more than 25 million children and adults are either pre-diabetic, or have progressed to the most devastating mature form of the disease.
There are several websites on which you can keep a food journal or even just start a journal here on MedHelp; I also understand that MedHelp is coming out with a food journal in the near future...
Make sure you get plenty of exercise - it will not only help burn calories, but it will help give you more energy.
Good luck and keep posting.

a new study published in the journal Diabetes Care has confirmed that a handful or two of nuts per day could be the key to controlling your blood sugar and balancing your LDL-cholesterol levels.
A team of researchers led by Dr. David Jenkins of the University of Toronto found that replacing some carbohydrates in a group of Type II diabetics' diets with two ounces of mixed nuts daily allowed them to have significantly better control over their blood-glucose levels.
And you can totally eat junk food and do it too! Heard it from a coworker-and I work in fast food. What it does is helps your small intestines move faster, leaving less time for carbohydrates to be absorbed. Without harming you too much. Activia works best. One cup of that at every meal. Before you eat of course. And portion control works as well.
Google "food: american diabetes association". This ADA website covers food & fitness: what you can eat, planning meals and recipes. At the bottom of the page you will find a link devoted to weight loss, plus more.
In the last two days I woke up each morning with readings of 100. Within an hour, (no food or humalog intake) blood sugar dropped to 40. I ate (taking no insulin) and readings went up to about 80, but kept dropping to 60. I am doing nothing differently than I usually do. What is going on?
Believe me - as a Type 1 I had the same questions about a Diabetic Diet and for the most part - Food Exchanges just confused me because they overly complicated something simple. Type 1 or Type 2 or Type 1.5 - we all have the same meal planning problem. Unfortunately - there is no "list" of safe foods. You have to make your own. BUT - it's not so hard.
The trick is to look at Nutritional Labels on food products. 99% of everything has it.
Yout vet IS right, high protein diets will harm you cat's kidneys...but the thing I don't get, you cat is diabetic or you're just scared that diets with carbs will cause diabetes?? Because it's not carbs that cause diabetes, it's a really high sugar diet that causes it in animals, commercial food have just the carbs and proteins and fats that your cat need (the good ones, of course there are some brands that can damage pets).
Changing lifestyle habits can go a long way in controlling type 2 diabetes. India leads the world in diabetes. This is mainly due to poor diet/nutrition.
Things he must do: Restrict & avoid refined sugars, high carbohydrate foods, practice, avoid dairy products like milk and yogurt, avoid food made with white flour [breads, crackers, etc].
You are doing only 1/3 of what is necessary to control and manage your glucose levels. Maintaining normal body and daily 30-60 minute exercise must be undertaken. As you know, diet alone does not do the trick. You must adhere to all three - diet, weight, and exercise.
And, yes, illness can spike glucose levels.
I don't know what you mean by "if one can eat more normally by taking Metformin". If you mean return to your old eating habits that created your diabetes, absolutely not.
I'm 52 years old and have been dealing with periods of rapid weight gain (anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks) for nearly 4 years. My worst are 16 pounds in 3.5 days and 12 pounds in 2 days. Stress probably is a factor, although cortisol tests have been coming back normal. I'm spending thousands of dollars and so much time with doctors and tests; finding a doctor with an open mind and didn't believe that I was "cheating on the side" took a lot of time and money.
I don't know much about protein in the urine, but ketones I think can come from too severe dieting. When I was young (MANY years ago) before we knew the health hazards, I was on a popular fad diet that measured ketones in the urine as a level of success. That is, until it went defunct when people started getting sick. How was your eating in the days leading up to that urine test?
My daily routine for years was go to work, buy two donuts and a diet coke, eat fast at my desk lol, and then at lunch I ate food from the hospital cafeteria-high carb food! Midafternoon? Vending machines were everywhere and we all bought candy or chips. At one point in time I stopped and took count and I was taking in 300 carbs a day!
