blood glucose levels for type 2 diabetic?

Question

my levels are high and i have been doing everything to bring it down any suggestions

Answer 1

Are you on medications oral or injections? I was recently prescribed Byetta (injection) because my glucose levels stayed high and then after eating jumped even more. My A1C from my doc visit 2 weeks ago was 8.6, the 3 months before that it was 6.5, so it has jumped considerably. I currently take metformin and not have added the Byetta, it is also supposed to help lower weight. But you do need to exercise if possible, keep stress to a minimum (high glucose can be caused from stress), keep away from the sugars and carbs, processed foods, white bread, take your medications and if they don't seem to be working tell your doc you think you need a change. I had to change doctors in order to get something done other than just the metformin. My new doc on the first visit found alot of things wrong that have not been being treated as they should by my last doc. Before going to doc write down all the questions you might have also.

Answer 4

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.

See a doctor, and also get Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution, an excellent book that really helped me. A nontraditional approach of a strict diet, probably stricter than the one your on now. When I go on the ADA diet, my blood sugars are out of control. However, on Dr. Bernstein's regimen my blood sugars were always UNDER 100, even after eating, and my fasting was in the 80's. It took about two weeks to get there. He advocates a very low carb approach, which the ADA doesn't like - but it works! So I don't care what they think. Besides the low-carb lifestyle was recently totally vindicated in the medical field as not increasing heart/cholesterol problems. Another thing Dr. Bernstein recommends (he is a diabetic himself) is anaerobic exercise, as it has a huge impact on reducing blood sugars. He describes how to do a particular type of workout in his book, it's tough but it does work. He also has a bunch of supplements that he suggests, commercially available everywhere (like a certain type of vitamin E, alpha-lipoic acid, etc.). Good luck!

I am heavily into natural remedies. You know the ones the doctors and FDA don't want you to know about because they really work? Anyway there is a new health discovery product on the market today that has proven to decrease blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes. Visit the web link below for more information. Trust me it really works! Take care.

I agree with what Cammie wrote, and woould like to add that you should also keep track of what foods you are eating. Certain foods can trigger long-lasting high glucose levels. For me - it is oranges, for my sister, it is nuts. Go figure.

Exercise never hurts, and a discussion with a diabetes professional is always in order if you have questions.

Answer 8

stay on the light side of your ideal weight

eat several small meals a day vs 2 or 3.larger ones

for diner do not eat carbs - they are slow to digest and when they turn to sugar will just build up body fat.

Try to do 4 hours of exercises a day 4 times a week with at least 30 min in your routine to be cardiovascular.

drink at least 8 large glasses of water per day.

Breakfast should contain a non sugared fiber cereal using skin milk or skin milk plus.

eat no more than 4 oz of meat per day - eat plenty of salad.

do not drink soda or sugared fruit drinks.

drink tea vs. coffee. Many green teas are even therapeutic.

Answer 9

Yes, see your doctor. A number of things can cause your sugars to run higher despite using the same drugs. If you've gained weight that will have an effect, more likely is that your pancreas is producing less insulin. You NEED to see your doctor. He will send you for a blood test to determine exactly what is going on, and he will adjust your medication to ensure that your blood stays in a healthy range.

Answer 10

Go see your doctor.You may need a change in medication or diet.
A diabetes educator might help too.It's all so confusing when you first have to deal with this.
You can try some exercise- a walk or whatever you like.See what effect this has on your sugars.
Good luck
