I have been diabetic for over 30 years and Im 5'4 and 206 lbs and I exercise everyday as well as follow a proper diet and I cant seem to lose weight what else can I do to lose 70 lbs?
) but go for a walk or exercise after. The main thing is not eat too much. Protein helps alot so you stay fuller longer. And protein doesn't break down into sugars later.
That is very strange! Have you ingested any over the counter medicines, products or foods? Nyquil, Listerine, fruit cake? That's the first thing that came to mind...Although, I know Nyquil is a huge no-no for pregnant women because it does contain a small trace of alcohol...and because of the holidays, many foods and desserts are spiked with traces of alcohol...other than that, I'm stumped. When can they tell you what it is from?
My hospital set me up with a diabetic education class, and it helped tons.
If you're diabetic during pregnancy does that mean your baby is gonna be born a diabetic too? And does the diabetes go away once the baby is born? This whole thing confuses me too.
Hi everyone! I'm new to your Diabetes 2 Community but have been involved some with the MS community.
I have Multiple Sclerosis but was diagnosed about 2 years ago with diabetes 2. When I first learned my blood sugar was high at 364, I immediately and without hesitation went on a diet and lost about 45 lbs. I did pretty good for a year and a half, but then I began eating sweets again. Plus, my best friend and Mom were very ill and dying, so I did a lot of stress eating.
ths usual times to check blood sugar are fasting. Optimal level is in the 80s, but ‹95 is truely ok. >125 is diabetic. Other time is 2 hours after starting to eat. Optimal in this case is also <95, but 180 2 hrs after rating is considered diabetic.
If you suspect you are at risk, for health, cut added sugars from your diet and reduce intake of processed foods.
If you are diabetic, then low carb diet and meds, if necessary, is typically effective approach.
Stay away from sugars like soda and desserts. Drink lots of water. When you take the classes they will teach you how and what to eat. It is important to walk after meals it helps regulate your sugar. The important thing here is that you do what you can now for your baby. Most women the gd goes away after pregnancy. I'm diabetic before pregnancy and from the get go I had to follow diet and excercise and be more strict on myself. I'm very resistant so I am on insulin.
Start reading labels to get familiar with carbohydrate grams. I think 50 grams per meal is plenty, but she needs to see a diabetic nurse to help her with all that, and also you can subtract the fiber and thats helpful too. Another important factor is serving or portions of food. I always say hospital serving size is helpful. American Diabetic Association web site has a carb counter you can use also. I will try and find the link for you.
not to mention the potential, um, bathroom results), aspartame has insanely polar opinions in the diabetic as well as scientific communities, Splenda is ok for cooking and baking, but again the diabetic and scientific (and political) communities are all over the place about its safety, saccharine (pink stuff) was once banned yet now is 'ok', and likewise, Stevia, though a 'natural' product, has equally polar opinions concerning its refined powdered incarnations...
Reduce drastically fast food, junk food, sweets, desserts, convenience foods etc. and concentrate on eating a lot of salads and fresh vegetables, but easy on the dressing. I would do my own using just a little olive oil and more wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar with a pinch of sea salt & some herbs.
Consume quality protein like grilled fish, chicken & turkey breast and eat less carbs from breads and stuff.
Drink plenty of water 1 hour away from meals.
Increase your activity level.
I am 22 years old and have been dating a 24 year old type 1 diabetic for the past year and a half. He's had diabetes from the age of 7. He eats alot of sugary foods, including ice cream and cookies and cake without discretion. He'll eat a big bowl of honey bunches of oats in the morning, have a sandwich or pizza for lunch, pasta for dinner and usually have a dessert, like a giant bowl of ice cream or popsicles, etc.
