Avatar n tn Following these simple steps will have a tremendous impact on controlling your diabetes and improving your overall health. Diabetes is a condition that, if managed properly, can be controlled. Making these lifestyle changes will help you control your diabetes long-term.
Avatar n tn It is also a new practice (Joslin diabetes center - one of the world'sleading diabetes management and research centres) to start all persons with diabetes on insulin instead of oral meds. Glipizide is a drug that makes your pancreas put out more insulin so it can cause lows. It can also make your pancreas burn out faster. So do research this and consider stopping this drug (in coordination with your Dr.) Metformin does not have this effect. So you can ask your Dr.
Avatar n tn I am taking Metformin at 3000mgm per day for diabetes and I have pains in my lower chest is this related?
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with type II diabetes 3 months ago. I was started on byetta at the routine initial dose which was increased 2 months ago. I am only taking byetta, and no oral hypoglycemics (metformin, etc.)I have lost 29 lbs in that length of time, primarily due to decreased appetite, nausea, and vomiting. I understand that this is in all likelyhood due to delayed gastric emptying. My question: Is this ever going to get better???

Avatar n tn My 8 year old was diagnosed with Type 1 at 16 months old. As a bright, fun loving third grader, I'm interested in what other parents are doing to insure proper diabetes management during school hours. She has been on a pump for almost 4 years and suffers the "highs and lows" that we, as parents, hate to see. Lets find a cure....quickly!!!!!!
Avatar f tn Helen, I would go back to the doctor already to be seen and not wait the five days. Wound management in persons with diabetes is critical to prevent complications. The treatment if the wound should be very agressive to make sure this heals. Please also work hard to control your blood sugar very well (ideally below 140 at all times), to help the healing process. Let us know how you go.
454863 tn?1208306979 The next big challenge is learning to manage this well. Please ask any questions to your diabetes management team.... and you are also welcome to discuss here. The best advise I know is to monitor closely. Ask his team if he can be qualified for a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). This will be super helpful. Look into low carb to assist management. This is suitable, even for children. On utube check out "Bernstein Diabetes University" and "children"...

Avatar n tn 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].
Avatar m tn But if you have Type 2 diabetes, the key to proper management of blood sugar is healthy eating, exercise, weight loss if needed and perhaps oral meds. With your alcohol consumption you are clearly headed to multiple health problems and controlling your blood sugar would be very difficult. The complications that result from not doing so are not pretty.
Avatar n tn Yes--you need a need to be checked out for diabetes--just google "sweet smelling urine" and WIKI will give you some good info.
Avatar m tn In the UK, diabetes test measurements are presented as mmol/l [millimoles/liter]. Normal fasting mmo/l glucose [blood sugar] ranges are 3.88 to 5.5 mmol/l. If your "gone up to 18points" is a fasting 18 mmol/l you are in the danger zone of having serious life threatening health issues. Please educate yourself on the hows/what-to-do's on diabetes control and management before its too late.
Avatar n tn Diabetes is very much a condition that needs awareness and self-management. If the diabetics in your company do not know how to properly treat their diabetes with diet, weight control, exercise and regular testing they are putting themselves at risk. Obesity makes diabetes harder to control and a type 2 diabetic who is overweight should be working with their doctor and nutritionist to develop a strategy for healthy weight loss.
