Diabetes

My husband was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a year ago and before eating meals he needs to test his blood and give himself a diabetes shot. This has become very embarrassing for me when we eat at restaurants because people stare and look uncomfortable when he has his needle and vials out at our table and gives himself a shot. I have asked him to do this in the bathroom or out in the vehicle but he complains about the lack of sanitary conditions, poor lighting, etc. I have pointed out to him that I have never seen anyone else give themselves a shot while sitting in a restaurant. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am a diabetic but don't really know when I should check my sugar. Do you wait a certain amount of time after eating to get a more accurate reading.

My dad LOVES chocolate, even though he hasn't had it in years. It makes me feel horrible that I am eating chocolate cake or ice creams right in front of him. And I can feel him just looking at me eat it. It makes me feel horrible. He once described the taste to me, and it is exactly how he described it.

What could be wrong if your very sweaty and shaking that could possibly be related to Diabetes type two?
It has nothing to do with pills and this is the first time of it happening under the same conditions as always.

Only helpful answers please.

Hi i suffer from diabetes, and know that one of the most important things is to keep an eye on your feet. About two weeks ago i noticed a lump on the top of my foot under the skin, it wasnt realy uncomfortable at first but has become more painfull over time and seams to make my foot and leg ake. Just wondered if anyone had experianced this before or had an idea about what it could be. I do have a doctors appointment booked to get it checked out.

I have been on metformin consistently for about 5 months or so, and have noticed that I am having a harder time exercising than I ever have before (i.e. I tire out easily and feel like I'm going to throw up). I am in the military, so obviously it's mandatory that I stay in shape. It's to the point now where I can barely run half a mile without feeling the urge to toss my cookies. Does anyone have a similar case? If so, what can I do about it?

I had very high sugar levels, and my doctor told to change my diet, so I did for a bit and then my family had money problems. My mom only afforded one meal a day, and it was fastfood, so not healthy at all. I have a few common symptoms, I'm always thirsty, pee alot, light headed, and I don't know if this is a symptom but any type of sugar that goes into my body gives me a terrible feeling. Help!

My husband is on his feet 8 hours a day and in relatively decent health. He recently is complaining of swollen feet that are slightly painful. What causes this and what will alleviate it?

I have type2 diabeties & have it for the last 7 years, I've been taking metformin at least twice a day & insulin once at night time, however its a constant battle to keep my blood sugars low ( i have high sugars), & actually just noticed that metformin effects my stomach a lot or is the insulin, i dont know?? does anyone know whether I should switch to full time insulin only? have i out grown the metformin? I just want an easy life so therefore any easy method that brings results & doesn't cause me a lot of stomach upsets...

I read in Isreal they think after a study of normal men your blood sugar should be 85. I just got mine down from 535 and the diet is tough but doable. I was hoping I wouldn't have to add excerise yet as my knees are still bad at my present wt.
