My dad's a type 2 diabetic so I've started reading up on it to get a better understanding of what he should/shouldn't eat. But I'm very confused about whether or not he should be avoiding certain fruits. I know that pure fruit juices should be avoided but I've heard that diabetics should avoid certain fruits (which are apparently too high in sugar). On the other hand, I'm sure I've heard that all fruit is okay. Which is it (bearing in mind that he is a type 2 & not a type 1 diabetic)? I haven't had much luck finding the answer in the stuff I've read so far

CBS News - 43 minutes ago
(WebMD) There's no urgent need for type 2 diabetes patients to stop taking Avandia, even if the drug really does increase the risk of heart attack, some medical experts caution.

My daughter is 4 yrs old and of normal weight. I am worried about Type 1 diabetes. We have done many tests and seen many doctors. Noone is quite sure what is going on with her. She currently is not overly thirsty or peeing alot, but is this way occassionally. We have seen 14 blood sugar readings over 200 in the last 6 months. They are not fasting numbers, but postprandial (after meals). Sometimes they are 1 hr. after a meal or sometimes 2. They do always come back down to normal eventually.

Should I be concerned about these numbers? Does the fact that she has no other symptoms right now mean that this is just how her body is? She spikes a high bg after eating, but then insulin kicks in and she is OK? Is that normal or do you think it is a sign of impending Type 1 Diabetes? Thanks.

What kind of pump do you use? Do you love it or hate it?

I use a Minimed 508. It's the same one I got when I went on the pump 6 years ago. It works great and I see no reason to change. Besides, I'm used to this one and I know it inside out. I was on it for 2 years and then off it for 4. I'm now back on it. Aside from a few scratches on the front, it's in great shape.

Opinions?

I am seriously concerned about the responses I received from this forum. I was looking for help on how to handle this crisis for my husband and instead I got that I am killing my husband or that my children will be taken from me. I have done everything humanly possible to help him, my family has tried to force him to go to the ER, I have called his doctors and begged for help, if I try to help him he gets more angry, I don't understand why I'm the cause of this from the way the responses sound, HE has decided it's not worth it to him to take the meds, he thinks he's invinceable, last night he went and bought himself 2 honeybuns smothered in chocolate and drank 3rootbeers in less than 10 min. w/ his sugar levels over 600, I asked him why with the shape he is in and he says because he's an adult & can..so am I a killer because I can't get him to go to the ER or take care of himself. I was looking for support, I needed help, but instead I got crucified.

I would like to hear similar stories with people who had it. Like what were the effects......the treatments? Will my baby be ok? Did you have your baby early? Did you take insulin shots?

please inform me. I'm nervous about it.

I have been diabetic for 10 yrs and have always eaten regular food. None of that diet coke or sugar free foods and whenever I have gotten lab results they have turn out normal. I just make sure to maintain my blood levels normal by working out and not over eating. I inject insulin so I got the worst kind. Is there something I am missing? Am I still damaging myself but it just doesn't show on the results? I also occasionally smoke po# which I know is wrong. But is it safer than regular smoking and drinking beer? Beer I also hear is good for the body if not doing it a lot? Any good facts and comments out there would be appreciated. Thanks
