Answer 1

My thoughts are for you to find a doc who will guide you thru this. Maybe the one you have but certainly one who knows diabetes.

Then learn as much as you can about the disease-there are tons of resources. A good place to start is to study what the complications are for diabetes. If that doesn't scare you enough nothing will.

While you are learning start losing weight-excercise and diet can help with that and you need to start immediately. If you are diligent and lose the weight your blood pressure will go down too. I'll bet your triglycerides are high also-find out. The more you know the better off you'll be.

You have to assume the responsibilty for this yourself. It can be controlled and even reversed.

Make sure you coordinate the excercise and diet with your doc.

Good luck.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

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

The headache and the "whomp whomp" sounds like high blood pressure in addition to your sugar issues. Have they been checking your blood pressure? As for your pre diabetes. You can control that now with diet and that is what you should do to prevent complications in the future. You should just eat a balanced diet of protein, fruits, veggies, dairy and carbs. Avoid overeating sweets and sugar, but remember that pasta, potatoes, breads, rice, corn and peas are also carbs. If you really want to learn what and how to eat you should contact your local health department, they will likely have a diabetes class you can take to learn more.

Answer 6

Your close to diabetic but you can stave it off if its not something genetic in your family. They will tell you to exercise at least 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. Then to cut back on carbs which produce sugar and sugary things.
They will tell you to increase fiber in your diet. Don't eat white food items (like white bread, white rice, cakes and cookies) use brown sugar or Splenda, use brown rice, eat high fiber wheat bread, protein and calcium items are okay.
The top of the numbers is 125 then they get worried.
Hope that helps you out!
P.S. the tiredness and numbness should go away just by tweaking your diet but they might have you go on the OneTouch2 Ulta for 90 days to monitor your blood sugar.

Answer 7

I don't have diabetes thankfully. had in laws that did. very rough stuff. Everyone thinks diabetes is too much sugar in the blood. Actually, its real cause is "fat in the blood". Not fat only on the body, but actual fat in the blood cells. This fat in the blood is what blocks the insulin etc. There's a M.D., Dr. Neil Barnard that has a book out. Basically you go "vegan". No more fat. No meat, milk, or cheese etc. Pretty rough diet I understand. This Dr. Barnard basically says if it's a vegetable you can eat it, if your not eating any animal products. On stuff like olive oil, and soybean oil, I don't know. You'd have to get the book.

Answer 8

i sufferer with type two and i do sufferer with the weight of well just like you and it is hard to tell when u will actually become diabetic. you might stay type 2 diabetic instead of becoming type 1 and then u might have tablets and you might have insulin with type 2 diabetes.
Also watch what you eat and also avoid sugar and any thing sweet. But you can have cakes and biscuit in moderation

Answer 9

you are looking at a major life style change, not just a matter of avoiding one food or another. Diabetes, untreated and unmanaged, is a long slow painful way to go, suggest you get your butt off the denial couch and do something proactive to control your diet and your weight and get your life back.

Answer 10

Sounds like you have blood pressure problems too. I would lay off the sugary foods and eat lots of good proteins unless you want to go blind or lose a limb.

Exercise won't hurt either. Just ease into a good routine.
