diabetic and overweight and kind of tired need good remedy?

Answer 1

Excercise and eat healthy.

Answer 2

My husband suffered with Type II Diabetes for over 21 years. He gained an enormous amount of weight (he is 5' 11" and weighed 275 pounds), was on 43 units of insulin a night, could not walk more than 30 feet because of severe neuropathy in his feet, was miserable to live with because he was so depressed and tired all the time. He faithfully went to the doctor every 3 to 6 months. He just got worse.
After 5 years of research, I developed a program that changed both of our lives.
In the past 4 years my husband has lost 75 pounds, has come off of insulin, is on only half of his oral meds, has been in 2 - 5 K races, goes to the gym 4 times a week and walks 2 miles each time. I can not believe the complete change in this man!
No one was as tired as my husband was when the diabetes had him by the throat! I would tell him to exercise and he would look at me with this very angry look and tell me that what about this don't I understand - he said, "I can't walk 30 feet and you want me to exercise!"
His idea of exercise was to exercise his thumb around the remote control.
He fell asleep at the wheel while driving on the interstate one night and crashed into the concrete barrier. He didn't even know he fell asleep - he thought he had a blow out in a tire!
Our program has helped countless other people lose weight and reduce meds.
This is not a diet. You must change your lifestyle - this one's not working! Let me know if you would like our help.

This ought to be enough to get you started on the road to good health...

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I‘ve listed below… they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:
http://www.diabetesimprovement.com/

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

Answer 4

my mother is overweight and diabetic. she has alot of health problems from cataracts to problem nerves in her feet, high cholesterol and the list goes on. she finds it hard to exercise. what i suggest is invest in some good multivitamins. the Swiss brand is food. its a red topped bottle. eat lots of leafy vegetables, lay off the butter and margarine, don't add salt and don't drink alcohol. drink heaps of water and try some exercise. my mother enjoys water aerobics because its not too hard on her feet and she is still getting a work out. as long as you stick to a good diet and get in at least 3 work outs a week you will find you get more energy. as much as exercise might seem like a chore (i don't like exercise either) it actually gives your body more energy so try it. it doesnt hurt to give it a go and if at first you dont suceed, try, try again

Answer 5

when i had gestational diabetes i was very tired too what helped me the most was keeping my levels as low as possible and try getting some exercise I know it sounds silly to say get exercise to help with being tired but it really does help.

Answer 6

I am sure that your doctor has told you how important it is to try and keep your blood sugar within the proper range. One of the side effects to low blood sugar is lethargy or even possibly a coma. I would also start exercising because the exercise will help you to keep your blood sugar stable.

Answer 7

Follow a healthy diet, eat protein every 2 or 3 hours to keep your sugars level. My husband gets very mean if his sugars get to high and nearly faints if they get to low. Cut out those carbohydrates to try to get your weight under control..

Walk one or two miles every day. It is important.

Answer 8

A healthy diet and regular exercise. Ask your doctor.

Answer 9

Get on a diet and get some exercise because its gonna kill you soon.

Answer 10

Start working out...It will suck at first but after awhile you will feel wonderful.
