Avatar n tn Replace sugar with artificial sweeteners such as Splenda or Stevia. Also, avoid starchy foods like potatoes, rice, and any foods made with white flour - white bread, crackers, pasta/noodles - as these turn quickly into sugar after eating. Post back if you have further questions.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your comment. I should have provided more info but wanted to keep it brief. My weight is good and I do exercise - walking is what I love. There is a history of Type 11 on both sides of my family and I did have gestational diabetes back 40 years ago. And no obesity in family either. About 30 years ago, my mother insisted I be checked for diabetes, given the history.
Avatar n tn Normal is normal fasting levels If you post back with postprandial test result be sure to include what foods were consumed as certain foods can/will elevate your blood sugar levels more than others. Random anytime testing is useless as they result in false/positive readings. Lastly, an A1c of 5.6% equates to an estimated daily glucose [blood sugar] average of 114 mg/dl, prediabetes. Please note, not everyone has the same A1c target range as it depends on ones health and life expectancy.
11634465 tn?1421827735 m seeking a really good support group for some advice as my type 2 diabetes is totally out of control. I recently made a decision to start eating healthier and exercising more as much as I can. I suffer from diabetic Nueropathy and it's very painful at times and makes exercise a very difficult task. But I'm trying.
232342 tn?1192696720 If his doctor says he is diabetic, then you need to find out whether he is a type 1 or a type 2 diabetic. If he is a type 1 diabetic (caused by the body's own immune system malfunctioning) then he absolutely must take insulin in order to survive.
Avatar f tn Eliminate simple carbs which break down very quickly; these include foods with sugar, white flour and all processed foods. Even fruit has sugar, even though it's natural, so limit servings to just a couple/day and pair them with foods that take longer to digest, such as vegetables or whole grains. While I haven't been able to lose the weight I'd like to lose, I've managed to get my blood sugar levels back under control and am working on the weight issue.
Avatar m tn Working in Uk came with to India for vacation on heavy non veg foods travel and stress , got a medical check done - fasting sugar at 101 , post food sugar at 198 ,hb1ac -6.1%, high Utica acid ( 9.2) and high triglycerides- 248 , is there any correlation ?( all other tests came fine ) , do I need to be concerned on the sugar levels and is there anything I can do to control it before it gets worse ?
Avatar m tn I reversed my diabetes in just 11 days - by going on a starvation diet... "Scientists at Newcastle University had devised a radical low-calorie diet that studies suggested could reverse diabetes in under eight weeks. This involved eating just 800 calories a day (a man’s recommended intake is 2,500) — 600 calories from meal replacement shakes and soups and 200 calories from green vegetables. You also drink three litres of water a day.
Avatar n tn my mother is type 2 diabetic and has nauseous feeling before and after she eats, what can cause this?
370181 tn?1595629445 These are the good guys. The simple ones found in table sugar and processed foods are the bad guys. For a diabetic diet, complex carbohydrates from vegetables and whole grains are best, as they take more time to break down and contain fiber, which is extremely important for preventing heart disease, promoting weight loss and helps prevent the progression of diabetes type 2.
Avatar m tn Test preprandial [before meal] then postprandial [2-3 hours after meal] to see how the foods you ate affect your glucose levels. Eliminate and/or avoid foods that elevate your levels. Here's what you can do; use Google to understand "Simple" vs "Complex" carbs. If you eat carbs, eat them before working and not after. Just don't overboard thinking you need massive amounts of carbs for energy.

1255761 tn?1294681089 No, it does not mean you have diabetes. It means you are at risk of progressing to being a full-blown diabetic and need to change certain things in your life such as weight, exercise and diet. There is no point to worrying; even if you had diabetes, it is a condition that can be managed. What you should do as a pre-diabetic is make some changes in your life to prevent it from progressing. It is an opportunity, some people don't even know they are pre-diabetic.
Avatar n tn I am writing as a concerned daughter. My Dad is 54 and has type 2 diabetes, he has had it for several years, my Dad has always been a large man but he has put more and more weight on, dosent eat well (as in fattening, sugary foods), in the past few weeks I haev noticed swelling to hands and legs especially his ankles, he has had to even remove wedding rings. He always seems to sleep at the nearest opportunity and his breathing is very heavy.
Avatar f tn G at home with FULL time Care the last 10 years, recently due to wound his Diabetic condition has worsened and now needs injections rather than pills, Of course his sugar levels have risen shapely and his local NHS dietician says she cannot supply (diabetes-specific formulas) through the NHS, so please can you direct me to where I can purchase such Formulas High in M.U.F.
Avatar n tn I am 42 years old Diabetic for 5 years on Metformin 500mg XL and Amaryl 2 mg. My blood sugars are not controlled. Fasting in 140 s and postprandial 300s. I am following diabetic diet and doing regular exercise/ What is the next step I should do. Please advise. My recent A1C is 8.5. Thank you.
Avatar f tn My friend, who is 55, just did some diagnostic tests. Her fasting glucose came back at 127 and her A1C was 6. I think she's in denial and doesn't want to talk about it. Her mother also had diabetes. I think her doc did her a disservice, as he just told her she was ''pre-diabetic'' and to return in 3 months to test again. As I understand it, there is no such thing as ''pre-diabetes'' or ''borderline''.
1910189 tn?1322026124 Hi there, I am full blown diabetic 2 for the last 20 years at least, and for the last 4 years ,I have been studying this dreaful condition quite well to the point that my A1c now is 5.8% without any medication at all. I have an advice to anyone who want to find out if he or she is a diabetic 2, buy the home test kit called A1C NOW at Walsgreen or Walsmart for less than $28 dollrs. Pre-diabetic 2 is when your A1C is betwwen 5.7% and 6.4% according to the US government.
Avatar n tn There is even a posting with a question about treatment of a diabetic border collie! Please do take note that the two types of diabetes are VERY different in treatment and in cause. So information that is specific to one type may not apply at all to the other type. So just be careful when reading hints on the web... make sure that the advice pertains to your particular type of diabetes. In any event, this forum did look interesting. Thanks to sfndiabetes for sharing it with us.
Avatar n tn First, you must realize that there is a huge difference in the treatment of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. For the type 2 diabetic, I also have read (from the Atkins people) that their diet is a good way to lower glucose levels. This is logical for the type 2 diabetic, for eating a fairly low-carbohydrate diet would not require the production of as much insulin by the already stressed pancreas.
480448 tn?1426948538 Adopting lifestyle changes make a HUGE difference in the chance of developing pre-diabetes or diabetes. Also, if you have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, NOW is the time to make those changes, to prevent the disease from progressing. Basic Prevention Tips: 1. Weight management. If you are overweight, try to shed some of those pounds. Obviously, the more, the better. If you are at an ideal weight, maintain it and try to avoid weight gain.
Avatar f tn motivation is, but guys, there are not any breathing exercises that will cure diabetes! People that are new to diabetes are very vulnerable and subject to believe this sort of nonsense and that is not what they need. If her/his motivations are honest and he/she benefits from breathing exercises...great. It might also relieve stress which can make blood sugar higher. But people, do NOT believe this is a cure for diabetes.
5536886 tn?1455827346 It's wise to get a letter from your doctor or diabetic nurse specialist that explains you are diabetic and prescribed insulin. In the UK you can ask for a "diabetic card" that helps explain it too, should someone find you unconscious or confused. The letter from your GP should also explain that you require to have your syringe-pen, needles, monitor and maybe other medications with you at all times when traveling on an aircraft.
