Avatar f tn 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.

579670 tn?1218213544 Hi, i am doing Food technology GCSE and my coursework is to design and make a range of products suitable for a diabetic that could be sold in the healthy eating section of a supermarket. Part of my research is to produce a diabetic questionnaire asking relevant questions which would help me with my coursework. Since i do not know anybody with diabetes it would be very helpful if anyone with diabetes could complete the questionnaire. Many Thanks x 1. What type of dish do you enjoy most?

443878 tn?1205103196 I gained 90 pounds when I was pregnant, got gestational diabetes, turned into type II diabetes after I gave birth. I have tried every diet imaginable, and have not been able to lose much weight at all. I lost a few pounds when I started metformin medication, but have now stabilized again.

535822 tn?1443976780 If you have pre diabetic readings 112 what would a days meals be, could you tell me what you would eat for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and best times to eat, what time is the last meal .I have got a book about this also and am reading but wanted your input.
Avatar f tn Hey, with the holiday season here, does anybody feel like sharing some of their favorite recipes?? May sound kinda corny, but I'd love to try out some new things this year. Nothing too complicated, but maybe something you recently had and liked, a personal favorite, or an old family recipe that's stood the test of time.
Avatar n tn Ramadan rituals can make it hard to lose weight during this holiday, so you'll have to go your own way during the holiday to make it work for you instead of against you. Most of those observing this holiday don't eat less, they eat more because eating is such an important part of the holiday, and they compress this eating into a shorter period of time than they would usually. While you fast during the day, most then stuff themselves in celebrations after dark and before daylight.
Avatar f tn s been stressful planning these meals around the holidays (diabetic-friendly, dairy-free, gluten-free meals are hard to come by). Thanks so much!
1360484 tn?1277732214 Does anyone know of any quick low fat low calorie desserts I can make for my family?
Avatar f tn I also enjoy spaghetti and use the Dreamfields brand and of course watch the portions and my numbers are with my range I feel better at.
Avatar f tn t be helped considering I get sick from fat (gallstones). So a lower carb diet or diabetic friendly diet might be good for you, but don't cut it out all together. I've lost 16 kilos by trying to keep a balanced diet. Your body needs variety and cutting out any specific food group won't necessarily help in the long run. A real healthy diet needs to be life changing. I will never ever go back to how I used to eat. And I can tell you my body already thanks me for it.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn My hospital set me up with a diabetic education class, and it helped tons.
Avatar f tn Hii, i just found out today that im pregnant, i say im about 4/5 weeks gone, im not 100% sure got a doctors appointment next week, but im also type 1 diabetic, and i have a holiday booked for 11th june and im worried will i be able to go on holiday still??
872485 tn?1240603562 I had an A1C test and it came back at 6.4%. He said he wants me to follow a diabetic diet and exercise and have retest in 6 months. My fasting BS was 88, so that's good. I was told in college (I"m 34) that I had hypoglycemia and both my grandparents (one on each side) has diabetes. Does 6.4 mean I'm prediabetic? diabetic? Thanks!
Avatar n tn I have had diabetes for 7 years and recently worked with the diabetes educator at one of my local hospitals as a high school intern. We did a lot of teaching about diabetic socks. Diabetic socks are not a scam. People with diabetes are supposed to wear cotton socks so that the socks breathe. Also diabetic socks are supposed to help with keeping good circulation to the feet. Since people with diabetes need to take extra care of their feet.
Avatar f tn Thanksgiving is usually an indulgent holiday — piles of food laden with carbs and calories. But the plentiful options at the table do mean room for better choices. Our best trick for eating better: Load most of your plate with veggies, then savor small portions of your other favorites. What's your best tip for a healthier holiday? Share with us below!
