how to lessen your blood sugar level and maintain its normal level?

Question

thanks!

Answer 1

exercise (even 30 min. a day of brisk walking can significantly lower blood glucose), stay away from carbohydrates in excess (bread, pasta, white rice, sugar, fruits, fruit juices, packaged foods often contain high "carbs"), any physical or emotional stress (such as illness or anxiety) can elevate blod glucose. Test your blood "sugar" often and follow your doctors instructions for treatment. Go to your local hospital and see if they have any support groups or educational opportunities for you. Don't hesitate to ask you doctor questions! Seeing a nutritionist may also help. Learn how to read food labels (carbs include the sugars on the label, so you don't add the two together - just watch the total carbs) Good Luck!

Answer 3

Here's a little different take on the subject of diabetes--

There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

If you are serious about learning how to use these herbs, and not falling victim to diabetes needlessly, get a copy of--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work--we both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what did it for me and mine. Best of luck.

Answer 4

you haven't told us much. as a young diabetic, the docs kept repeating the phrase 'diet, insulin and excercise'. it's a combination of these things. you may need to make some adjustments in your diet, increase your medication or become more active. this is something you should do under the guidance of your doctor. the most important thing is not to allow your blood sugar to remain in a too high or too low area. you have to become a fanatic about this. this will only come with educating yourself.

there are so many diabetics around these days. the one thing that bothers me is when i see a diabetic overeating or indulging in a sugary food without compensating for it.
if you want a 'treat' now and then, you must account for it in some way. diabetic damage can be minimized or avoided if you dedicate yourself to keeping the balance.

good luck and god bless.

Answer 5

If you are diabetic, you need to contact your health care provider.
Receiving advice from lay people could be harmful to your health.
If your are not diabetic and want to lower your blood sugar, avoid simple sugars [table sugar, candy, non-diet sodas, desserts]. Look up info on line to learn how to read food labels. For example, if you see the word "fructose" on a label, this is sugar. Foods with high glycemic indices will raise blood sugar. Another example is carrots which is a high glycemic food. This information is also available on line. Google glycemic index foods and you will receive a plethora of information.

Answer 6

This is an endocrine question. . . This is supposed to happen naturally in the pancreas, a gland which secretes insulin and glucagon to regulate you blood sugar.

If you want to lower you blood sugar and maintain it, you should take insulin. This can be given to you by your doctor if you are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

If you are NOT diagnosed, then you can avoid eating sugars altogether to help your hyperglycemia problem.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Well, cutting down on sweet sugary foods and to eat less portions of food more frequently will help keep your blood sugar-glucose level down.

Answer 8

Eat good fats and good sugars.

Nasty saturated fats such as fatty meats(bacon) is bad for diabetes, so try to eat more nuts and seeds and lean meats(chicken, fish)

And bad sugar such as cookies, cakes, brownies, ice cream, etc are bad for diabetes, so try to eat more good sugars such as fruits(apples, raisins, bananas, etc)

Eat lots of veggies but don't eat as much of the ones that have a higher content of sugar such as (carrots, corn, potatoes)

Eat whole grain/whole wheat bread instead of bleached white bread
and eat brown/wild rice instead of bleached white rice

If you drink a lot of soda, you might need to cut down on those and drink more water instead

Good Luck and *hugs*
