Diabetes

I would like to know if eating sugar a night before the fasting blood sugar test affect the results next morning. For eg if I eat some good deserts on the night before my fasting blood sugar test the next day, will it affect the results drastically or mildly or none at all ?
I am sure it affects the PP test results but does it affect the fasting tests as well ?

I'm 28 and I have diabetes type 2. I know I'm supposed to watch my toes and keep care of them. Well last Wednesday night, I was closing a door and it ran over my big toe. There was lots of blood but when I cleaned it and looked at it, it just seemed to have ripped part of the nail off.

I've been cleaning it and I left it uncovered (I was home for a few days, so I didn't have to worry about dirt or anything). Well today I went to clean it and it looked like there was some dried blood around the cuticle. I wiped it off and it appears that it may been a scab. Underneath it was clear, very foul smelling liquid.

My question is: if it was anywhere else, I'd put some antibacterial lotion on it and cover it with a band-aid and wait. But since it's my toe and I have diabetes, should I check I go to the doctor? Or just put the lotion on it and give it a day or two?

I was diagnosed with Raynaud's about a year ago and I have the opportunity to go snow skiing this winter. I know its dangerous being out in extreme cold. but I just want to know if anyone has found a way to enjoy extreme cold weather without experincing the symptoms of Raynaud's. Please let me know if theres anything out there that will keep my hands and feet warm enough to enjoy the snow.

I take Humalog insulin. This insulin claims to start working within 15 minutes of injection. When I eat breakfast, I inject the recommended amount, but it takes up to 3 hrs for the insulin to start working, resulting in a spike in my blood sugar. Other meals during the day, the insulin seems to work OK (begins to take effect within 15 min). This may seem like a really technical question, but I've not received an answer yet, so i'll try yahoo.

So I'm a new type 2, I've got the food exchange down. But everyone here on answers says to count carbs. I am clueless and need to get to expert level fast. I know some low glycemic foods. So do u carry around 2 books? I 'm not eating the bear claw my son brought me, so I'm on to those carbs. (sugar)

My boyfriend is a type one diabetes, we have been together for 3 years and only in the last year have we started to fool around. Last night when i was pleasuring him, he went soft. He says its not me, but it makes me feel ugly and not good enough. i know stress can have something to do with it, but he hasnt been taking care of his diabetes very well. he also smokes cigarettes and drinks occasionally. i was wondering if its a combined thing, or if its something with the diabetes

I am 30 weeks pregnant and I just found out I have gestational diabetes. Ohio Caresource will pay for the blood glucose meter and all supplies. However, I was wondering what type of meter they will pay for. Does anyone know? This is my first time using a glucose meter and I have to check my blood 4 times a day. I am looking for the least painful meter. - thanks.

I am fourteen. I have many of the symptoms like: fatigue, urinating a lot, excessvie thirst, blurry vision (which I have had since October), and unexplained weight loss. I thought at first maybe the thirstiness was because I just got my toncsils out about a month ago, but I don't think the other symptoms are from this. I have taken risk tests online and I have a "low to medium risk." No one in my immidiate family has diabetes, however I do have an uncle, and some other distant relatives who have diabetes. My mother thinks my weight loss has something to do with my toncsils, but this has been over a month...I eat constantly, I can never really get full but I weight myself and I'm at the same exact weight. I am afraid to tell my mom that I think I have diabetes because my whole family thinks I'm a hypochondriac (I think i'm always sick or something is wrong) and that I just over exaggerate about these problems. If anyone thinks my symptoms are caused by something else please let me know.

i was just diagnosed with slightly high blood pressure and put on medicine for it. my doctor asked me to come back in a month, but due to some other complications I'm having, I kinda forgot about this diagnosis! Besides the medicine, what can I do to help lower my blood pressure? I am already on a rather "health-food" diet and I do light exercise about every other day.

Should diabetics limit their dairy products consumption?

Also, besides sugars, carbs, alcohol, and starchy foods, are there any other foods or beverages that diabetics should stay away from?
