How do i help my brother with diabetes?

Question

My brother has diabetes and over the last year his hypos have become more and more dangerous, he also has stomoch problems, which is upsetting his sugar levels even more, when he starts having a hypo, he has really bad fits, but the doctors are not understaning how bad they are!! can you give me any advice on how i can help him control them?

Answer 1

I don't know what you mean by a "hypo". Are you talking about diabetic seizures? I'm all too familiar with those, as my husband and brother are both diabetics. I know how scary those episodes can be. If the doctor isn't paying close attention and monitoring your brother's blood sugars or helping him control the seizures, I'd get another doctor -- preferably an endocrinologist, as they specialize in diabetes and endocrine disorders. The best way to help him is to see that he has the proper medical help. The right doctor can make all the difference in the world. I've been there and done that, so I know what you're going through. Good luck!

Answer 3

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Make sure he eats regular meals throughout the day. It's a good idea for him to have about 6 small meals instead of 3 large ones. That way his blood sugars will remain more stable. Tell him to avoid anything white; pasta, rice, bread and many cereals, as well as cakes, chocolate, fatty foods and processed foods (he's probably quite aware of the last ones!!). Get hold of a copy of a book on the GI diet. This is a diet (way of eating- not depriving diet) which gives all foods a score of low, medium and high depending on where they lie on the Glycaemic Index. It's a measure of how quickly foods are broken down by the body. Foods with a high GI include all the fattening ones and also white pasta, white bread and most cereals. These foods cause the body to release a huge amount of insulin and give a quick energy release followed by a big drop in blood sugars fairly soon after. Foods with a low GI; most fruit and veg, wholegrain rice, wholewheat pasta and wholemeal bread, porridge oats and lots of others slowly release insulin and sustain energy levels for a long period without the hypos!

Some of this he has to control for himself if he is old enough and capable enough. Otherwise, contact the Diabetes Association and see if you can get assistance from there. The concerns you have a not new to them.

Answer 7

1st off we don't have fits we have seizures. if he has stomach problems it really makes it hard to eat anything(take it from one who knows about it) all you can do is try to help him a lot of this is up up him and he has to understand this maybe hes taking too much insulin and not eating enough or he might need to go on the pump and take insulin only when he eats a lot of carbs. let him figure it out on his own if he gets tired enough of it he will.

Answer 8

1st thing is to make sure that his diet is alright. find out when and what he should be eating, watch his sugar levels, make sure he's taking his insulin at the correct time- i think it has to be an hour before he eats anything, or something like that.
