Diabetes

Recently a local new report stated that there is a new pill made with iron and seaweed that helps lower blood sugar. Are there other natural home remedies that aid in lowering blood sugar or normalizing blood sugar?

Is it possible for an undiagnosed type 1 diabetic to have an acceptable sugar level in a blood test after fasting?
And the same for an undiagnosed type 2 diabetic?

please only answer if you know for sure as this is for a research project.

I need to get the Most accurate glucose meter, I check my levels about 25 times a day and I use the insulin pump, my A1c is about 5.3, so I need to find a glucose meter that is very accurate so that I can get my a1c level down to about 5.

Thanks so much!!!

I have been involved in the fire service since I was 16 years old. I am 28 now. I started on my town's volunteer ambulance and when I turned 18, I joined the fire dept. All I ever wanted to do was become a "career" firefighter. I became a paramedic, I have a fire science degree, and I also became an instructor. I finally got hired in a large fire dept in Va. Soon after going to work, I was terminated.....because i am a diabetic. I have been hired in 4 other fire depts since. I kept being diabetic a secret from the depts because i knew I would never get hired because of the diabetes. Each time I allowed my condition to be known, I was terminated. I have never had any episodes of low blood sugar, and this condition has never affected me on the job. If it wasnt for me allowing others to know of my condition, I am certain that I would still be a firefighter. I am not a drunk, and I would help anyone. I can't find a reason why God won't allow me to continue to work in this service. Can U?

New doctors have found out I was misdiagnosed with diabetes. There were problems with the glucose tolerance test. My doctor said I had hypoglycemia. He told me I needed to be treated with diabetic medication. What effect would the glimiperide have on my system? Did it make my pancreas increase my insulin levels, trying to lower my blood sugar levels ? However it worked, it really has my endocrine system all messed up. Does anyone know about this?

I went from 121 yesterday to 94 today!

the only difference was I ate some ice pops before the test yesterday.

so is it safe to assume that i don't currently have diabetes?

when is it most accurate? in the morning before i eat anything? after starving for a day? after eating sugar????

I am 17, and i am 6'5, and i weigh 320 lbs. I played football this last year and it was tough due to my being out of shape and i want/need to lose weight. I worked out all winter and played baseball in the spring but i just cant seem to take and/or keep any weight off!! I am taking rediculous amounts of insulin just to keep my blood sugars OK but this is going to kill me if it keeps going on like this. All i need to know is if gastric bypass is a viable option for a type 1 diabetic? and if it isnt then what should i try??

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated

Thanks

I went to Night time sick call and was placed in a triage on
the main floor. Nothing after that made any rhyme or reason
as I had been taking pain medicine for a previous fall and it
was not agreeing with me. All my meds were stopped for
24 hours and not even diabetes medicine or heart medication
was given and I was placed in a room with very cold air con-
ditioning going full blast and no one could modify it for me.
Since I did not receive my Trazadone, I could not go to sleep
and the next day I was diagnosed as bi- polar as opposed
to the diagnosis of Dr. Johnnie Bonner who was the first Dr.
to turn me around in the beginning. Is this preparing for the
increase in PTSD expected at all the VA hospitals, if so it
will be a rude awakening for those with other medical problems. To find all medication cut off and no logical reason
given for the change. Expensive tests including an MRI were
ordered and nothing seemed to justifiy the change in medication. No reason given

My friend who is in the UK has been diagnosed with high blood pressure, At first she was given an ACE inhibitor. That made her develop a dry cough. After a few weeks, I told her, I had the same reactions from those bp medicines and that she should ask her doctor to change the prescription. Noe the doctor has changed her meds to one of those sartan drugs, an ace regulator, and she is still coughing. All the doctor tells her is that she has to be patient! But she is in so much pain in the abdomen from all that coughing and she hardly sleeps at all. Is it reasonable to ask her to get a second opinion?

I recently found out i have diabetes, but the results did not come in yet to tell which type i am. Right now the doctor makes me get on insulin, which i have been doing for 4 days already, and my blood sugar is reallly good, about 80. I heard the doctors in canada injected some kind of substance in mice who had diabetes and the next day the diabetes were gone. Will this ever be avialable for humans? Also are there any natural medicines that help lower blood sugar instead of insulin, and start to make the pancreas work again?

People tell me that I have a higher risk for Diabetes because my father had it. He didn't get it until he was 54. How can I be at a greater risk for something my father didn't get until he was in his 50's and I was in my 20's?
