11634465 tn?1421827735 Hello everyone. I am new here. I'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.
Avatar m tn "i checked my sugar, 4 hours after dinner and its 297" Testing blood sugar four hours after a meal exceeds the postprandial testing time, should be between 2-3 hours maximum. If you had results of 297 mg/dl it's highly likely your postprandial was way higher than this and very dangerous level to be at. So, if you're thinking what should I do beside pop Victoza read on. Diabetes certainly can be progressive, but only if you let it progress to your ruin.
Avatar n tn Now a dx of Diabetic Type II has been made based on a 3-hour Glucose Tolerance Test. Told that Dr a year ago there was more going on that merely Thyroid and Perimenopause. Was I ever right! Turns out that in an overview of regular blood tests, I don't indicate any problems. Because of that, he turly believed nothing would be found abnormal. Fasting blood glucose is still in the Normal range despite it takes 3 hours on the GTT for my glucose to get back to a normal level.
Avatar n tn I am 33 yrs old and have always been classified as pre-diabetic with fast glucose between 100-110. But that was several years ago. After my husband lost his job we went several years without insurance and medical care. Now two years later I finally started randomly checking blood sugar levels ( several family members are diabetic). My fasting sugars are 115-130 on 1000mg of metformin twice daily. I am on a strict diet with no sugar, low carbs, and no fat.

Avatar f tn Hi. I'm new to diabetes. I was just told yesterday I'm diabetic. My blood sugar levels are in the 3-400's all the time. I'm waiting on my prescription tomorrow. I'm just really worried/concerned and was looking for some helpful/uplifting comments.
Avatar f tn I have been a diabetic now for 6 months, after going into a Diabetic Coma and DKA (my sugar was over 700 and I quit breathing) on July 31, 2015. Sugar was 70 in Dec 2014 and elevated in March. My question is this: I live alone, have no children by choice, family is out of state, and I am at a loss for what I can eat. I just figured out that my body likes weenies and beans. But I need some more help as to what to cook.
Avatar f tn I am 60 years old. My family history: Nobody is diabetic. I am having hypoThyroidism problem. I am over weight by 15 kgs. I am taking thyronorm 50 mg. Fasting I checked in 2-3 occasions it is100, 110. H1 Ac 6.1 . I wanted to know whether I am Diabetic or not.
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor to refer you to a diabetic dietician to help you understand about diet. The types of foods to avoid are those that are highly processed and have high quantities of sugar. Be aware that low fat foods do not necessarily mean low sugar. It is still very important to have a healthy and well balanced diet and to choose the types of foods that slowly release energy in your body. For example, sugar foods will spike your blood sugars very quickly and then drop very quickly.
Avatar f tn If you are newly diagnosed diabetic or pre diabetic, please talk with your doctor or better yet a diabetic educator to figure what combination of things will work for you. Get a test meter and test your blood sugar to see how different foods affect you. Go to other websites where there are people who have been successfully managing diabetes for man years and listen to what works for them, recognizing that we are all different.
3252948 tn?1359923842 Well my first ever A1c test was 6.9 and I was told that I was a diabetic. The next time it was 7.3 and I did the test at home and it is now 6.4; I have had to change my diet drastically to get my A1c down to 6.4; watch my carbs, no junk foods, no soda and I now rarely eat red meat. Been eating lots of fish, salads and some fruit and nuts, but it has been tough getting used to this new diet plan, and I will have to do this for the rest of my life if I want to stay off of meds.
Avatar m tn If so, search for diabetic Indian foods and diabetic foods in India. Both return lots of hits.
Avatar m tn I have been pre-diabetic for almost 1.5-2 years now. I have had tingling sensation all over the body, Numbness in feet and slight neurotic pain in the legs below knees. And I have been having these bumps on my penis and pubic region for the same amount of time. I have been negative for STDs. And recenly the tingling, itching is mostly in the groin area. My vision seems to be blurred since yesterday. My fasting sugars right now range between 104 -118.
Avatar m tn Do not base your nutritional plan on the Glycemic Index or Glycemic Load. What the GI or GL fail to mention are carbohydrates. Carbs are quickly digested. The easier a food is digested the quicker its sugars enter your bloodstream. Type 2 diabetics must pay careful attention to the amount of carbs eaten. Consider carbs as an equal to table sugar. On nutrition labels carb sugars are listed in grams. Every 7 grams equals one heaping Tablespoon of refined sugar.
Avatar m tn This is the time he needs to take control and reel back his compulsive food urges by not eating or drinking sugary foods, eating foods high in carbohydrates, or eating junk foods. All of this is contributing to his current high levels and defeats the oral medication. He may need to go on short term insulin to get his levels lower. I suggest a referral to an Endocrinologist, a doctor who specializes in diabetes care and prevention. An endo is much more knowledgeable than a primary or ER doctor.
Avatar m tn Your doctor may have a sample diet menu or be able to recommend a nutritionist to help you understand the proper diet. There are also may diabetic cook books on the market that can help you to understand how to make common foods that are not going to spike your blood glucose. Additionally you should ask your doctor about an exercise program.
Avatar f tn 2. Are there any foods that would assist getting the vision in my new lens eye to stabilize? My vision is not the same all day long. I am not diabetic (I eat a whole foods diet, no junk, and am tired of being asked to take ANOTHER blood sugar test).
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.
1544970 tn?1297592753 check out Nutrisystem's diabetic plan. Since I've been on it I have stopped needing insulin shots!
Avatar n tn But now we are seeing a whole new generation of kids who are growing up with glucometers and pumps and new insulins that very closely match digestion times of foods, and I suspect that we will see fewer complications in your generation than in mine as a result. Stay tuned and read about it in another 15 years or so!
1689038 tn?1354739164 these tests were at least 8-9 months apart) so question, since i had that odd sugar spike, does that mean i've jumped ships and have diabeties now?
Avatar m tn Losing the extra poundage is known to help lower your levels. Also, avoid eating sugary foods and foods laden with carbohydrates.
Avatar m tn I recently had to return to a Support Group also where I get info from other Diabetics about just how well their ailment is being treated. If you cannot get a new doc, there are Diabetic nurses out there who can provide great information also. Most times they have more time to spend with you & provide info that the Docs are not willing to share. Hopefully you have the type of healthcare that will allow this to happen.
Avatar m tn some people get a confused feeling when there BG changes a lot or drops to a new low. NOT necessarily too low (below70) but a new low for them. IE down to 90 after being up around 200 for days.
Avatar f tn I am a type 2 diabetic for about 3 years. I take metformin. My last blood test at the doctor was too high,(The test that is to show the average blood sugar.) I have not even checked my blood sugar for about a year. I ate no breakfast today. At lunch I had a ham and swiss sandwich. snack one very large peanutbutter cookie. Dinner was a large bowl of potatoe leek soup. I ate the soup around 2 hours ago. My bloodsugar is 331 now. I forgot to take my metformin yesterday and today.
Avatar m tn my question is a type 2 diabetic person can feel weakness and lazy to do activities. thank you.
