My father has diabetes and regurely checks his blood suger level. Though yesterday i was just courious of mine so i asked my dad if i could check it and i did and the level was 222! My dad told me that anything over 150 for my age was not normal, so should i get this checked out by the doctor or is can this just happen and is not a problem?

I know I'm over-weight,but can't seem to lose anything unless I starve myself,like eating maybe once a day. I'm a yoyo when it comes to loosing weight. I do try and watch what I eat,but it doesn't seem to be helping,even getting my sugar levels down.

I have great health insurance, but it does not cover a dietician, and my doctors have no diet advice for me other than what I am already doing, so I need advice. I have been at a plateau of the same exact weight for two years 150 - 5' 6" with measurements of 36- 25 - 39 (I carry my weight in my legs, hips, and some in the upper arm; but my waist is always small), but several of my doctors (I have other issues steming from having long-time metabolic disorders) told me if I lose more weight that it could improve my condition and increase my odds of not becoming full-blown diabetic. Now, I eat an extemely strict diet of lean meat, tofu, most vegetables, berries, cheese, nuts, and other healthy fats (absolutely no sugar, processed foods, or alcohol); and I exercise by hiking up a steep hill on an average of 3 times a week at 45 min. each time. I cannot cut calories too much, b/c I have to eat 6 small meals a day to prevent my blood sugar from going too low. What should I do to lose weight?

Im going to an endocrinologist for treatment of my thyroid disease (hashimoto's). Well she has diagnosed me as being insulin resistant. I get very sick if I try taking the medicine she prescribed and am wondering if I am truly insulin resistant. She started me on metformin which I could not take at all then switched me to glumetza which also makes me sick. She did this based on 2 glucose fasting tests that I had done by another dr almost a year and half ago, my levels were 102 and 105. Yes I am a bit overweight due to my thyroid not being under proper control (at another dr's expense). I exercise every day watch what I eat and am very active. When I do get blood work done from my endo. it is always just focused at my thyroid levels. Is this normal...can the results from a year and half ago still be correct, should she be doing more tests? Only thing she told me was to take the glumetza and stay on a no carb diet.

I recently did a study regarding gestational diabetes and had found such conclusion:

Gestation diabetes in underweight and normal-weight women appears to be related to insulin resistance combined with a deficit in insulin production, whereas insulin resistance - not inadequate insulin production - may underlie it in obese women.

In other words, normal weight women do not produce enough insulin whereas obese women do..

Isn't above contradicts to the fact that normal weight women has the ability to produce insulin and obese women face with insulin disorder??

Your answers are most appreciated as I am very very confuse.

How does a person know if they have contracted Diabetes? What are some of the most common symptoms? What about Sugar Diabetes? What are the most common symptoms of a person contracting Sugar Diabetes? Is it UN-common for an adult, say in their 40's, to contract Sugar Diabetes? I know that heredity can be involved, but what symptoms to look out for? Any information will be appreciated.

I would like someone who has been through and come out a winner to contact me. I feel like I am all alone and fighting a losing battle. I have given up alot of foods (intollerances are many--that I never had before ) I gave up beer, sugars, breads, fruits, condiments etc. I take as much of the Citricidal as I can, even though it is not the recommended amount. I have to work with the public and it sometimes makes me shake even more than I normally do. The Threelac makes me nuts. I can't focus properly and I get disoriented. This is very scary. I am already underweight I weigh 90lb. and I am 5'5" tall. The foods that I can't have I need. I have been eating small amounts of meat again--after over 20 years of being vegetarian. I do not really like it but that was the advice I was given. Soy I love but am intolerant to now as well as dairy and sugar makes me very wired anyway. Please give me advice and a detailed diet that brought you success. I would be very grateful .

I have recently found out that I am "borderline" Diabetic. I also have hirsutism, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and high blood pressure.

I am taking Metformin, spironolactone, and bupropion. The metformin is for the diabetes, the spironalactone is for the high blood pressure and hirsutism. and the bupropion is to help me quit smoking.

I am having a very very very hard time trying to change my lifestyle and lose weight. I was told that if I were to lose weight i would get rid of all of these complications i am having.

I have done some research on the medication and the diabetes, but i am having a hard time differentiating the foods i can eat. One medication says I can only eat these kind of foods, and the others say the opposite. As well as the foods i should eat with diabetes, I just need to know what foods i should eat, so i can have an easier time getting better

My husband is a diabetic and is cutting a cantaloupe for our daughter. He has asked a good question and hopefully someone on here has the answer. Does anyone know just how much sugar is in a fresh cantaloupe? Is it a safe snack for him to have? He is type 2 diabetic just to let you know.

I am very confused by my readings with my home monitor. My daughter has the same exact problem (she's 7 and has very high blood sugar-having her checked for Type 1).

I've been testing for 3 weeks (I have Type 2)and my readings are fairly consistent. Fasting levels high. Very low early in morning. Low late at night. Now it's around meals that's confusing me and all the diabetic family members that I ask for advice...

About 30-60 minutes before meals, my blood sugar will be high/sometimes very high. About 30-90 minutes after meals, my blood sugar drops a lot! I'll go somewhere around 170 to 100 just from eating a small meal. Everything I've heard and read said non-diabetics and diabetics, their blood sugar increases after meals, logically. Why is mine dropping after meals. I don't take insulin or oral meds (for diabetes) and my meals are basically the same each day. I don't take any meds that interfere with blood sugar. Has anyone heard of this? I really need help! Thx
