Answer 1

You should go to a nutritionist and get some diet advice. Keep taking the pills and good luck!

Answer 2

You have Type 2 diabetes. I have heard that it is a good thing to avoid carbohydrates when you are type 2. I personally would suggest counting the amount of carbs you have per day. 15 - 26 total carbs in a food is equal to one carb unit. Allow yourself 4 carb units at breakfast, 5 at lunch, and 5 at dinner. Try and balance out what you eat with a variety of different foods to remain healthy and balanced. This is what I do to control my Type 1 Diabetes which is insulin controlled but I do not see how it could hurt a Type 2 because if it doesnt work you can just go to your doctor or dietician and get assigned a better more individualized meal plan more geared toward type 2's. Hope this helped.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

A healthy diet, exercise and a new attitude about your illness is the most natural way to lower it. You need to go to a diabetic dietician and she can help you set up a good plan for you. You will learn to count carbs and calories, eat healthier foods, stay away from junk food and sodas (empty calories and and no nutritional value) and the value of exercise. Since you are not on insulin and on oral meds, it sounds like you are type 2. Exercise will do wonders. You are still producing insulin, you body doesn't utlilize properly so changing your lifestyle is imperative to keep it down. You faith should help, ask God for help and you will do it. Good luck.

Answer 5

If you were recently diagnosed as diabetic you are probably type II. Plus, Amaryl is used to help type II diabetics regulate their blood sugar. That you don't need insulin is good news.

You need to eat every few hours. Small meals, so that you're spreading the same number of calories (or less) out evenly throughout the day. Everything you eat gets broken down into sugar. Basically, you want to make it work harder to do that. That means severely limiting the sugar you eat and no alcohol - it metabolizes right into sugar. You should also limit carbs, but you can have more of those than sugar. Protein is a good thing. Your body gets very little sugar out of it. You just need to limit the fat content so that you're not getting too many calories. So, lean meat, low fat or fat free yogurt, and soy proteins are good, but limit the amount of nuts and red meat. There are a lot of types of sugar besides table sugar. When reading labels, anything that ends in "ose" is a sugar. Fruit, milk, etc. all have their own type of sugar in them. So, while eating fruit and vegetables is good for you, vegetables (watch the starchy ones like corn and peas) are generally better for your blood sugar than fruit. Some of this is just experimenting. For instance, I'm hypoglycemic (my body makes too much insulin when I eat sugar, yours doesn't make enough) and for some weird reason drinking something with sugar in it messes up my blood sugar much more than eating something with sugar in it. I also have trouble with caffeine, so keep in mind that everything you ingest can cause problems. Keep track of how you feel when you eat or drink particular things.

You can figure this out. Its a pain at first, but it gets better. If your blood sugar gets too low (sometimes happens when you exercise a lot or skip a meal) then you need to ingest some sugar. Orange juice is good - its loaded with fructose. Yeah, the worst thing for me to do when my blood sugar drops is the best thing for you to do when yours does.

Another thing to think about is that if you're overweight, losing weight will help and regular exercise is another thing that helps even out the swings in your blood sugar. The foods that are good for you may not taste as good to you at first (we all know that fatty foods and sweets taste really good, until you crash...) but experiment with spices and other low and non-caloric things you can add to turn up the flavor. Plus, healthy food starts to taste better when you realize how much better you feel - and you WILL feel better when you get your blood sugar stabilized. Read the nutritional information. You'll still eat junk sometimes, but you'll be making an informed decision. You can do this!

Answer 6

You have type 11 diabetes, I have had it for seven years. Eat six meals a day instead of three, keep your portions Small and make sure you have a balance protein and cabs, with protein the higher. Fat does not contain sugar but it can cause other problems, keep it to a minimum, high fibre content can help reduce sugar levels, and exercises every day. Take blood sugar readings every morning before breakfast.

Answer 7

I am guessing that you have Type 2 diabetes. However, you need to know for sure. Since sugar is the problem, sugar is the solution. Don't eat it! Think of sugar as your dietary poison. Sugar comes in many forms such as flour,table sugar,bread,potatoes,rice,sweet potatoes, Snicker bars, Oreo cookies, Lays potato chips.It is important to eat a high protein diet, full of fish,meat,poultry,seafood even game.Along with your protein eat a healthy dose of vegetables and don't be afraid of healthy fats especially coconut oil. Coconut oil and other coconut products are recognized in some health groups as improving diabetes. If you have a sweet tooth learn various ways of feeding this tooth. Sugarfree sweeteners,flax,berries even wheat gluten ( high protein and very low carb flour ) are examples of what you can use to make healthy low sugar goodies. I would like to share a web site with you, http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/

Also please feel free to surf this site and hunt for information on diabetes. Good luck on your journey.

New research shows that cinnamon helps sugar to metabolize up to 20 times faster than normal...this means it helps to keep your blood sugar low. Experts recommend about one teaspoon a day. More is not necessarily better, and taking too much can cause blood thinning to occur. So just stick with a teaspoon. Just plain old cinnamon right off of the spice rack. You could put it on oatmeal or in coffee. Also, it will help to eat foods that are low on the glycemic index. The glycemic index rates foods according to how fast they break down in your system...the faster they break down the higher the spike in your blood sugar. Look this up and do a little reading. Hope that helps.

Answer 9

You need to make sure you are exercising and watching your diet along with your medication. Especially your intake of carbohydrates. I would suggest arranging to see a nurse educator or a nutritionist for specific food advice. Also you may want to go to Yahoo groups and check out some of the diabetes groups. They are full of other diabetics dealing with similar issues. Diabetes_International is a really good one. Good luck!

Answer 10

remedies...yes...they're called diet and exercise...lower the amount of carbohydrates you eat....thats what makes the sugar rise...go for a walk at night or in the morning..or whenever you have time...if you're overweight, lose some weight...that will help u manage the blood sugar better.




by the way, I am 99.9% sure you have type 2 diabetes.
