If i eat a lot of sugar in one time, can I drink a lot of water to flush it out? I have a diabeties test tommorrow, but I want some cereal and it has a lot of sugar and the milk does too. I want to know if I can still eat it and just drink tons of water after?

Particularly an energy supplement. How much sugar (grams) is too much for a diabetic?

I have received some very good advice from "Reginachi", I appreciate that you took the time to educate me even more. I wanted to porovide you with more details of my foot, you may send me an email, I want to be well educated on this subject as possible. Losing a sibiling & watching her die from this was an awful experience. Maybe she did give up, but she was only 40. I am in my 50's and it scares me to know that I have such a family history of it. Thank you for your information. I wish you would send an email so I can explain more than just on here.

T1 male, 185#
Time 2:48pm; bg=362; pulse=75-80 bpm sustained
Time since last Levermir injection 22hours.
Insulin injected 8units Humalog, no carb intake. What's my bg in 2.5 hours?

Guessing is ok, but methodology will count for an extra 10mg/dl closer, i.e. if you list your methods and are off by 10mg/dl, but someone guesses correct 2mg/dl off the mark, you still win.

Can a male with diabetes still produce as much sperm as a male with out? I ask because what if I wanted to have a child with somone who is, is his likelyhood higher or lower. We are in our 30's does this play a role in reproduction for a diabetic male, also would the child be more suceptable to developing the diesease? Doe it skip a generation or is that an old wives tale?

Nurses are recommending the AccuCheck Aviva for school-aged children, becuase the MultiClix finger pricker keeps used lancets in its drum - and there is no special sharps disposal box required for their school.

My question is - what is the point, if you still need a sharps disposal box for the insulin needles? Or is there an equivalent that saves you from needing a sharps box for those, too?

Thanks!

For those who seriously read these: I recently found out that I am a diabetic, type 2, and I hate it. It runs in the family.. I had a bad year last year, went into renal failure because someone poisioned me, and no I don't know who. I also have a bad foot because of a botched up surgery and have to wear a brace on my foot, then when I was in the hospital a nurse mistakenly injected pure potassium cloride in my IV, which colapsed and damaged several veins in my arm, now I only have 30% usage of that arm. I go to counseling, I have seen a nutrionilist, is there any light at the end of my tunnel? I had a sister die of diabetes at the age of 40. I am having a hard time accepting that I am now a diabetic. How to cope with these issues. I have educated myself, plus going to the necessary sources to help me, yet I still feel helpless. I lost a good paying job as a Supervisor due to my disabilities. How can I feel better about myself & handle everything that has happed to me?

Please answer only if you are an expert or have experience with diabetes (no "I think" please): My grandmother has type 2 - she is in her 80's. She loves grilled cheese sandwiches when they go out for dinner but grandfather thinks the cheese raises her blood sugar. I think it might be the carbs in the bread.

My question is this: can she have cheddar cheese? Is wheat bread good for her? (I thought carbs were bad). What do you think could be causing this problem / are there any food she should definatly stay away from? Any help would be great, as she is getting to the point where she doesn't want to eat anything. thanks so much!

I deveveloped type 2 diabeties shortly after having the fusion of 2 discs in my low back my weight grew to 172lbs and I'm 5'9" Could the 2 blood trasnsfusionsions trigger or carry the diabeties? I'm down to 155 lbs now about 150lbs is my normal weight. All sorts of wierd things went wrong after that surgery. The diabeties was the worse. I know they filter the blood pretty much but, it makes you wonder?

My ten year old grandson, who has type 1 diabetes, was running extremely high today. He has the pump but we had to do two "add b g"s in an hour. He drank lots of water. I know how to deal with it but just wondered if you had a magic answer, just as everyone else.
