diabetes nurse educator

As Supersally stated a "diabetes educator" is the place to go. They may or not be nurse practicioners. A nurse practicioner may write script for medication changes, which will save you money. Keeping a good record of your glucose levels is essential. This means a meter, diet control, and regular finger sticks. Initially you should get an evaluation by an endochronologist who specializes in diabetes.

I am not sure what you mean, but if you were given instructions to use this pen, it means you have diabetes and have to take insulin for it. Your diabetes nurse educator will help you learn how to use the pen and set your insulin dose. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.

I just got a call from nurse. I didn't pass my 3 hour glucose test. Any advice??

Please know that this can be managed. Your loved one should work with their doctor closely and perhaps a diabetes nurse educator that the doctor recommends. Here is some helpful information on managing type one diabetes. https://www.mayoclinic.

Hi Patrick. I'm a Diabetes Nurse Educator based in the Philippines. I know of one community-based diabetes project at Pototan, Iloilo. It is called the Diabetes Resource Center. You may want to contact them. I'll be glad to coordinate with you.

Blood sugars from 180-456 on a regular basis put you in real danger of serious diabetic complications. I suggest you see a doctor/diabetic educator and learn how to manage your diabetes ASAP.

have a talk to a diabetes educator. When I was first diagnosed I struggled so much because I couldn't understand how to balance my meals and after having a seeing a diabetes educator, boy my life changed!!! Also, 20 is a VERY LOW blood glucose, it is very dangerous... her family should keep a tight control with her blood glucose. I know it is painful to see a 5 years old being pricked but it is for her own sake...

my husband has type 2 diabetes his sugar was at 15 today so he ate some cereal and a half hour later he took his sugar and it was at 216 what is going on with his sugar

Ftm I'm finding out if I have gestational diabetes Monday. Is it true that I'll have a big baby, or is it a 50/50 chance?

Hello, I've learned a lot in the past 8 months (since I've found that I am a type 1 Diabetic) and I suggest to you to look for a Diabetes Educator. When I first left my Doctor's office after my first visit I was completely lost, I was not sure how to use insulin, how to calculate ratios, I've read a ton and still lost. One thing I found... my ratios for the short acting insulin (novolog) were different for every time of the day and meals...

I have not been officially diagnose with diabetes but my doctor said that I am border line. Well I checked my sugar, and it was 152, should I be concern even though I am not on any medication. What should I do?

s often difficult to get into the see the Dr that often or to talk with them on the phone about problems you may be having, a diabetes educator and really make a difference in your diabetes management. Take care!

You may need to test your blood sugar two hours after eating occasionally and if it is high or low, you can talk to your doctor or diabetes educator about adjusting your insulin. With certain foods such as high fat hot dogs and pizza digestion slows down and you may find that you have a low blood sugar an hour after you eat and then will be high later. This is because fat slows down the digestion process.

Alot of people believe that if they just lose weight they could get rid of their diabetes and there are even doctors on tv commercials in my area that stated they have the cure for diabetes but from what I have learned from my diabetes educator is that if you are obese and that your diabetes is coming from obesity you can lose weight and then be able to manage your diabetes with diet and exercise.

Hello, Your mother's glucose levels are quite high and certainly need treatment. Glucovance is a well accepted medication used for Type 2 diabetes and will most likely help bring her glucose levels down. Changing dietary habits is crucial to doing well: specific things to avoid include regular sodas, sweet drinks such as sweetened tea and juices, cakes, cookies, candies etc.

Hi, I had great results after I spoke to a Diabetes Educator. I remember leaving my Endocrinologist office very lost and frustrated, having no idea about why I was giving me 15 units of Lantus for Basal and different shots for every meal. I wanted to learn to how do it, how to calculate so I could take charge of my own Diabetes.

Without knowing your details, best way I could say to manage your diabetes is to visit your gp and diabetes educator regularly, get as much information as you possibly can about your particular circumstances and follow medical advice.

To speed healing and prevent further complications, suggest you work with a diabetes educator to get better blood sugar control.

You might consider speaking with your doctor or finding a diabetes educator to work with. A CDE (certified diabetes educator) can work with you to create a meal plan and give you information about to keep your sugars under control with food and lifestyle. There's an organization for CDE's and on their website I think you can search for one iny our area. Asking your doctor or the local American Diabetes chapter is another resource. Diagnosis can be scary.

No my dr just called me & told me my results, theyre gonna refer me to one tomorrow. does it hurt priking your finger so many times a day? i'm starving right now just thinking about it!
