If there is one thing you could improve about current diabetes services , what would it be?

21 Jun

Personally I think that current diabetes patient education programmes are well hidden from those communities that need it most – usually the lower social classes! I mean how often have you seen a poster advertising such programmes or indeed has your practitioner offered for you to attend a session if you have been newly diagnosed?

What could possibly be the next great discovery for mankind on the planet??

09 Jun

A source of energy in a seemingly endless supply thereby eliminating the need for commercial trade of natural resources? A Major medical breakthrough that unlocks the keys to illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, ALS et al? A complete end to all warfare and proliferation of tolerance and peace on a global scale? Or… have we gone as far as we can go, celebrating only small advancements in science and culture with no major breakthroughs on the scale of the renaissance period. (1300 a.d. – 1600 a.d.) Also known as the age of enlightenment, this period saw more advancements in culture than any other period in history comparitively. My fear is that we have peaked. The thought that the global fight for natural resources (oil) could escalate to a global shell game, that we are 50+ years from truly understanding the human genome and world peace has become a pipe dream leaves me to wonder. What is next??? I hoping for… (this is where I lose credibility) … alien contact
I know the alien contact thing just wrecks my credibility. I was loathe to even mention it, It is meant only to illustrate my wanting for something great to happen. I don’t think J.C. is planning a second coming anytime soon (if you believe in that) and things just seem to be getting worse which is why Richards answer is more portentous than I care to admit. Are we near our end??

 
 

if a lifestyle change could reverse diabetes would you do it? This is reversing diabetes week and?

05 Jun

I wanted to let you know that it has been reversed in others.

See the inspiring film raw for 30 days to see how some reversed it and this week I found out the film is 50% off for next 6 days. see http://www.rawfor30days.com/RawFor30/Diabetes_Action.html for the offer and the trailer do watch the trailer. My raw food group leader who was training there at the time the video was made send us word of this offer and I wanted to pass it on.

Also another way it has been reversed is via Dr Richard Schulze’s incurables program. (email me for the interesting video links..it also works for other incurable illnesses)

Some also reversed it with the hallelujah diet found at hacres.com See the testamonie section his book is the hallelujah diet.

All books are available on ebay and often found at libraries.

That video, raw for 30 days is inspiring. Some good books are

There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program – by Dr Gabriel Cousens

Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes by Dr Neal Bernard

The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle: Lifestyle Center of America’s Complete Program for Overcoming Diabetes, Restoring Health, and Rebuilding Natural by Franklin House

I went from readings in the 300 400 and 500s and even one over 600 to a normal fasting blood sugar and a1c by exercising 5-7 days a week, becoming a vegan and eating average of 50% raw, I have since messed up on some of that and see my blood sugar numbers rising higher again (but still least than they were as I still maintain some of the changes for the most part.

It is hard to change but would you in order to reverse diabetes. If so, you owe it to yourself to get that video raw for 30 days while it is still on sale as it is worth it even at the higher price but this makes it more accessible to people.

My question is how can people maintain the needed changes and would you if you knew your diabetes could be reversed.
this has worked or both type one and type two diabetics to address that.

Both in the documentary and in a video by Victoria boutenko ho reversed her son’s type one diabetes (which did not return in the ensuing 15 years) with a 100% raw food vegan whole food diet.
you are completely wrong katie. This is not false hope to share with people what helped others. It will not harm people to try a vegan 100% diet for a 1-4 month period to see if it works. i refer them to the video but feel they must read his companion book..there is a cure for diabetes o have all the facts. (dr gabeiel cousens…just because ypou are told it is incurable does not mean it is..only that you –or the doctor is not familiar with the cure or does not believe it. It is you who are harming someone who might be cured by saying something is untrue without more study etc Every organ can be regenerated and even genetics can be overcome if one maintains the changes and stops doing the bad things and starts doing the things that heal and regenerate.
also I am not trying to sell people anything. I am informing them of something that I found in trying to reverse my own diabetes and that I know has worked for others at a t5ime it is on sale. I get absolutely nothing from this other than trying to help people who stand in the shoes I have walked in..you completely misunderstand my intentions and what I have learned in my 30 years of study of alternative health, herbs and nutrition that I study for the purpoe of helping people who are hurting and sick. I had relatives go into comas and blind from this illness and I will be darned if I am going to be silent when people who don’t know might learn. It is not expensive to do a 100% raw food diet as people have to eat anyway. diet and exercise are not products in the sense I am suggesting them. know someone who was there when this documentary was filmed who saw it work and saw they blood sugar readings and I trust her as she is not a liar. Plus I trust the good work of Dr cousens & others
I do concur if one does not continue the lifestyle changes the diabetes will reoccur.

the people in the video were under the care of a doctor who monitored their blood sugar and insulin. They were able to get off insulin and drugs within the 30 day period actually much less. Dr Gabriel Cousens is the one who states in his documentary that one of the diabetics was a type one. One would be smart to contact thew tree of life center. Also the lady where I live who is a student of Dr Cousens and there when he filmed it recently showed the video and the trailer and did say he also gave them some supplements and these should be listed in the book I recommended the cure for diabetes. I can if people email me give them the phone number of Dr Cousens clinic and the address and also if requested and you send an email send the pages in the book where he talks of three case histories of type 1 diabetics who did in fact get off all insulin and have normal a1c readings; however, in researching fur

further by looking at his book, I see that he said he uses “proteolytic enzymes, lipases, and general combinations of proteolyric lipase and amylase.” he says Dr Wong was able to achieve what is considered medically impossible. Two with only the supplements listed above and third with the full tree of life program which included the use of proteolytic enzymes as well as a low glycemic and low insulin index live food diet. This seems to be what he used with the type 1 on the video but he likely has treated other type ones not on the documentary and may be able to tell you more if he is contacted as I am not a doctor and on the video he only mentions the raw foods. I know he can be contacted as Dave the raw food trucker who went on Dr Cousens phase one diet with lots of juicing and juice fasting and reversed his type 2 diabetes in three days, his colon cancer and his kidney disease as well as losing over 225 pounds said he contacted the life of life for further help. (see youtube for
dave the raw food truckers videos or on curezone. I would also see what info is at curezone.com Dr CoUSENS explains on page 143 – 145 why these things I mentioned works for type one and late type 2 diabetics. I strongly recommend one who is a type 1 or on insulin contact the tree of life to get more info and do not self treat but others can but have doctor check your meds to see if they must be gradually weaned down as one gets better. I am not certain if the diabetics were had their diabetes revesed with the hallelujah diet, dr richard schulze’s incurables and the other books I mention were type one or only type two. I do know schulze said he has gotten every dead organ working again when he as in the clinic. One would need to search the diabetes testimonials at hacres.com to see if they were type one or type 2 but most daibetics are type 2 so this info will definitely be of help to them. Victoria Boutenko in her film on diabetes said her son was diagnosed with type one diabetes
she said her son, sergei, was told he would have to be on insulin the rest of his life. His mother, Victoria, refused to put her son on it and searched frantically for the answer. The doctor threatened several times to turn her into children’s services. she states the whole family went on a whole food, vegan 100% raw diet and reverses several illnesses including the type one diabetes. she speaks of him eventually throwing or giving away his home testing supplies as his readings were always normal. This was about 15 years ago and it has not returned. He has stayed on the diet making further improvement like eating mainly natural foods and not gourmet raw now and lots of green smoothies and now grow he teaches wild food classes. Go to her website and look and see if maybe you contact her, they can tell you if he did anything else or if they have some documentation or something if you like http://www.rawfamily.com/

Again there are no incurable illnesses and when doctors say there is no

Again there are no incurable illnesses and when doctors say there is no
cure what they mean is there is no cure that I am aware of or was taught or believe but you can be quite sure people worldwide have cured themselves of everything. Listen to the incurables program videos (the save your life videos) read the biography of Dr john r Christopher.Diabetes is a very profitable illnesses as one must take drugs that control but do not reverse it the rest of one’s life..while it is true one should stay on the lifestyle changes to prevent recurrence, it is a lot better than shooting insulin everyday if one can gradually weans off this as many have with the save your life program.

I was wrong to make it seems easy to reverse a serious disease..a simple herb is not going to do it generally one needs a very comprehensive health building program.. I personally have noticed no programs with anecdotal reversals that use any animal products,,it is almost vegan. I also noticed that when I eat whole grains and low glycemic fruits it does not affect my blood sugar
readings but the minute I mess up and eat meat or cheese my blood sugar soar to 325 to 375 which I find interesting..one of the first things to do is get off all animal products. as every program I ever hears of diabetes reversals was vegan. Mine started dropping right away when I switched to a vegan diet with at least 50% raw foods and exercised regularly. Studies show better results on a vegan diet than the American diabetic association diet, google it and you will see. even if on does not reverse it they can expect to lower the dose of their drugs and/or insulin IMO. But if it was me, I would not do a type one or one on diabetes without checking the levels to see if these drugs can be lowered and calling a physician who works with these things as the authors of these books or dr cousens. In addition one should see their other blood results improve. I know mine did. and I did not go raw 100% or use these supplements. i had readings in the 300, 400 and 500 range and one too high
for the meter to read and never have them that high now unless I eat meat or cheese or tons of things high on the glycemic index at once.

One should work to prevent it by making these lifestyles changes if it runs in families but type one does not generally run in families Up to 79% of type 2 diabetes is genetic but in type one diabetes, 85% have no genetic link. there is a strong correlation between type one diabetics and an infant drinking cow’s milk before age 4 months, My aunt who has type one was not cursed and given cow’s milk I know. There is also a link with certain viruses. an infant in the womb exposed to german measles has a 40% chance of developing type one diabetes. I strongly recommend people view the video I linked to and read all of doctor cousens book there is a cure for diabetes which is filled with info. also read the testimonies at hacres.com, view the richard schulze save your life diet and go vegan and hopefully a lot of raw, juice fasting etc and also take a
look at the other books I mentioned and do your own research into alternative health. It is your body,,alternative health has prevented amputation and reversed diabetic retinopathy. If not for people with the courage to try alternative health when given no hope by doctors, these people who recovered of every disease might not be well today or have lived so long or be there to help others in need by their stories. Unless these skeptics who called me names and a liar and who denigrated my intelligence has personally investigated all the claims of people why say they reversed their illnesses and gotten detailed directions on how they did it, they are the ones claiming absolute knowledge that they just do not have. Yes there are quacks out there but there are also dedicated people trying to help the dying and very ill and succeeding. While I cannot promise you will be healed, I believe there is a definite hope in the things I recommend to people who may want this info but do not know it
exists and I am trying to let them have a place to start their research and gain some hope. You can call me all the names you like and call those healing diabetes names to but that is not going to stop people like me or schulze or cousens or house etc from educating people and showing them the hope that really really exist. contrary to your slams, I am not stupid nor a filthy liar and neither are these doctors working to prove diabetes can be cured. Since most diabetics are type 2 and trapped in a world of drugs and down the road insulin, this info should be especially encouraging to them as most of these programs have reversed diabetes in 4 days to 6 months max usually. while it is true that generally although one may cut themselves a little slack perhaps when they get their diabetes in reversal, I bet plenty of people would have no problems staying on a health building diet or making changes to vegan or raw rather than go blind, have their leg cut off or wind up on dialysis etc so
motivation to stay on the program that reverses their course should be high. don’t underestimate people. It was the fear of the alternative which made me want to do things I never thought I could do before.
sorry that some stuff posted right..I added this info above to respond to the three people saying I was crazy, uninformed and evil essentially so sorry it is long but I hope people will read it.,
error this should read frm above But if it was me, I would not do a type one or one on insulin (not the word diabetes as I postred but the word insulin is the correct word) without checking the levels to see if these drugs can be lowered and calling a physician who works with these things as the authors of these books or dr cousens. In addition one should see their other blood results improve
error above

My aunt who has type one was not cursed (this should be nursed not cursed) and given cow’s milk I know.
-Allison –as I said I am not a doctor and my purpose of posting this was to let people know this excellent documentary is on sale this week and point them in a direction of h-ealing. I personally feel type 2 is much easier to reverse, however, I did not post this to be treated in a confrontational manner for trying to help people. coming from a knowledge where I have seen things reverse and natural healing work and knowing the worst of things have been cured by Richard Schulze such as lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, late stage AIDS, blindness, all kinds of nerve disorders like ms etc, I have come to believe there are no incurable illnesses. Being a lay person who studies this area as I find it fascinating, I cannot answer any question but I have tried to help many to the best of my ability and some have considered me to be somewhat of an expert; however, I am not Dr Schulze, Christopher., Cousens or others I have tried to learn from. They had a clinic and people and I do not.
Even so, I feel the info I gave here could have taken years for people in need to find it and is some of the best you are going to get on trying to heal disease naturally. I have been on here and curezone for years helping many hgundreds of people but I generally stay in the alternative health section as I am not one to push alternative health on people who do not want it or want to denigrate it. I only ventured out to let people know about the videos, schutze, the books, and hallelujah diet if they wanted this info. I am not God. I cannot guarantee people a cure but I feel a lot of confidence in the validity and miracles alternative health brings. I just got a1c results today and they wer ein the noraml range as was my average glucose level. 10 months ago I was having multiple blood sugar tests in the 300-600+ range. I did nothing my doctor said to do. I designed my own program and made lifestyle changes. I have stopped 2 heart attacks in my mother when nitro (which had worked
before) did nothing. I have gotten my mothers legs which became severely infected due to doctor error and misinformation and no antibiotic they prescribed working, better in one day and gone. When I finally convinced my mom to try my advice after 10 years of her not listening and getting progressively worst and on dialysis 2 years shocked when she took just 2 herb tinctures. she called all shocked and shouting almost saying I can’t believe it..I took those tinctures you left and for the first time in 2 years, I was not deathly ill after dialysis. (she was always sick at least 36 hours either needing to be hospitalized for the treatment causing extremely low blood blood pressure and other things or so washed out she could not get to the bathroom in the next room. I had cured very bad gerd in my brother that he had to be hospitalized for and it never came back 10 years later. I have had someone I helped a lot tell me his dad collapsed and passed out and how bad he was and how he
remembered something I told him and tried it and brought his father out of it right away. I haven’t had the flu in decades and if I get a cold I can knock it out in a day and a half with slight symptoms. I have seen alternative health work in my own life. Healers who I trust have far amazing testimonies as do their patients. I can only share what I know with a trust in God and his natural modaliites and with a clear conscious and a good heart as I have devoted 50 plus hours a week to helping people asking nothing in return and for free. I was trerated awfully on this forum and liikely will not post here again but go back to alternaitve health section due to this. as I say, I cannot guarantee you a cure for a devasting disease but I am offering something but it seems all you can do is look to the negative..people who don’t believe rather are healed according to schulze and do not do the programs necessary. Obviously a raw food diet is not a low carb diet but something in it is
helping many people with a wide variance of diseases including so called incurable diseases. Have you watched the save your life videos and read the manual to see the amazing “miracles” Have you read Dr Christopher’s biopsies. Even if one feels better and uses less insulin that is something but the videos do show it helped 2 type one diabetics..,.the black man misdiagnosed who became a naturopath and another type 1 whose got off insulin and had normal ranges but dropped out of the program as he felt he could not eat that way etc. Also as I said Dr Cousens tells of three people in his book that were type 1s I looked it up just now and offered to send it to anyone who sends me an email address as an attachment. In brief he says one was an 86 year old with 50 years of type one diabetes ho had had amputation if one leg and was facing loss of the other foot.she had he says paresthesia in her fingers, and forearm, scar tissue in her eyes a gray pallor and dry skin and was on 4 injections
of insulin a day. She was given proteolytic enzymes over 3 months. “as scar tissue in her eyes cleared, her vision became 20/10 and her left foot had a full correction. an ultrasound done after 3 months showed no blockage whatsoever. Her skin in general and in her extremities became pink. her glycosylated hemoglobin went from 9 to 6, and she stopped taking insulin.” Another in his mid 30s had acquirted type 1 in his mid 20s and was getting 3 to 4 injections of insulin a day.toes in both feet had been amputated.eurological degeneration to his legs, paresthesia in arms and hands and had received one kidney transplant and the other was beginning to fail He took proteolytic enzymes for 6 months..circulation improved and he was saved from amputation of toes and foot, His need for insulin dropped to none, his neuropathy disappeared…his kidneys began to function again…his creatinine…went to normal. The last had been hospitalized and found to have a fbs of 1200
and diagnosed type 1 In 2 weeks at the tree of life he was off all insulin and blood sugar below 85 all symptoms disappeared. In perfect health and diabetes free 2 years later a1c under 6 when it was 11.8 (source of these quotes and excerpts from book there is a cure or diabetes page 143-145) As I said the book is at many libraries on amazon and I can send interested people the attachment of these pages so they can read the whole thing plus the book is loaded with info and help.

May I add had these 3 people not had the guts and determination and belief to look outside the box, had they believed their doctors and continued on their course, they would likely be dead now or missing more limbs or blind on dialysis etc. It is the people who go searching for their answers they cannot find in medical science and do the recommendations that pave the way for others. It is those who tried and yet died who showed healers like schulze what worked and what did not so eventually more and more
Their courage in searching out answers when they were told there were none, their trust in believing their were answers, their willingness to do hard lifestyle changes and listen despite the fears and chastisements of their families, they are heroes…they showed others who would come behind them, it could be done. they listened to the small still voice inside that lead them.
they trusted their instincts even if they stood alone. I have no doubt God lead them to the answers they prayed for. They looked for the opportunity and the doors and took them and walked in. they stood at a fork in the road and they could believe what doctors said that there was no cure, no hope that they would be dead in x number of days or months and could have given up but they when faced with the fork in the road did not turn away in unbelief and fear. they trusted they believed they tired..some failed but far more succeeded. those that failed, Dr Schulze said, always died in far less pain and suffering
went peacefully when they went but most did not die…some went on to outlive their doctors..they recovered of incurable diseases that noone said they could ever recover from ..impossible cases and yet…tens of thousands beat the odds…now that schulze’s work is reaching so many more hundreds of thousands or more have recovered of nearly everything.

Noone can guarantee but they can point the way and let people know in no uncertain terms that the odds can definitely be beat…if not this way then another.

If it was me in your shoes. first I would thank god for the direction the universe placed you at to see this info and ask his continued help, I would work to let go of unbelief and turn to trust and hope and positive emotions. I would go to the tree of life & find out more or call them. I would get on what they recommend, I would only eat whole food vegan 100% raw with lots of juicing and green smoothies. I would diabetes herbs in the form of organic or wildcrafted tinctures (NO
(NO herbs in capsules tinctures only)., I would eat low on the glycemic index with a low glycemic load adding lemon juice or raw apple cider vinegar to each meal (this lowers the overall glycemic index/load of the meal). I would watch the full incurables save your life videos and the manual probably more than once. I would leave nothing out. also reading the books above and others like them and the hallelujah book for what foods are considered raw foods and other info. I would join a raw food group or a vegan group to be with like minded people and maybe learn from them. I would feel that trying and maybe winning would be a lot better than the effects of diabetes I might have down the road. I would also learn how to treat things associated with diabetes how to fix gangrene (see herballegacy), kidneys (curezone see kidney forum look for knowledge seeker’s advice..me) learn what to take for heart attack and heart attack/stroke prevention and get on some nervines, I would do the eye
program in his chapter on eyes (use only organic herbs if making his eyewash formula and do the other things he recommends for retinopathy and other eye diseases). I would read books on the law of attraction and try to use that to keep my thoughts positive and my feelings good, I would start shopping health food stores and coops and farmer’;s markets and I would keep learning all I could. Most people are not going to do any of this..they prefer to stay in their old ways or do a few herbs and think that is going to work and when it doesnn’t think the fault if the herbs and not them for not doing enough. A person cannot usually cure a killer or serious disease without a dedicated and complete comprehensive health building program.. do that and there is an excellent chance people can find their miracle cure. You can pass the info by or you can start thinking an praying and doing. Your future might include terrible things or an ultra healthy life. Victoria Boutenko ignored her son’s
doctors though she cried so much thinking of her son’s future and insulin the rest of his life, I am sure she must have been so scared the doctor would turn her over to children’s services as she had threatened to do and worried she might lose her son, but she bit down her fear, she researched as if her life depended on it and when she found the answers she did it. she talked of how hard it was to throw out the microwave and as a compulsive eater very overweight to throw out all the food, to eat mostly produce and greens and nuts etc and how her family struggled in the early days, but she did and they did it and the results were she lost over 100 pounds and got rid of the heart arrithymias that had killed her dad, her daughter got rid of severe asthma, her husband did not do the drastic surgery his doctor said without it he would be dead in 2 months and completely recovered and is alive today 15 or so years later and in tip top health and her son threw away his blood testing
supplies and beat type one diabetes and is diabetes free today.

Had she not tried I can only imagine where they would all be today.

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink..

I person can stay where they are or try something different.

there are no guarantees in life..but god said to trust him and he said I give you plants for your meat (food) and herbs for our medicine. He created no stoves and we are the only species that cooks our food and probably the least prone to diseases. We were meant to pick our food fresh and eat it unprocessed, to walk the fields…

We can trust god’s way or man’s way…the one thing we know if that medical science has been wrong time and time again as they learn new things. You can trust some guy educated as he might be in disease and drugs or you can trust in God’s natural foods/herbs/nutrients/etc the sun the air the water and natures path. You can look for where he is leading you and find hope or you can demand guarantees
and look for the negatives or you can cease the day..carpe diem as they say. It i you who lives with your decision. I can only give you what I know and have and have prayed for often…knowledge of how to help a suffering humanity.

I cannot convince you or make you do anything you do not want to believe or do.
but maybe others who sees this might see this and realize there are no coincidences in life. But the choices of if we see his aid in the voice or work of others or think we know it all etc is all ours and we live with whatever results from our choices. I hope someone sees this and tries it all and is helped..if not, I cannot control that. Even my spending all this time on this answer to address what you said is done out of caring though it may not seem that way. I am not perfect, but I know my heart is in the right place, that I have been blessed by god with a very good mind and hope that one day I see how I spent my time was not in vain for someone out there.
sorry I made a lot of typing errors and got some words wrong making a few sentences not make sense but there is no way to edit it. Hope it is still fairly understandable like I said man is probably least prone to disease when I meant most prone and some errors like that. I was typing too fast

I heard that in the U.S. you could get a medal for 25 and 50 yrs w/diabetes. Does anyone know how to do this?

04 Jun

I am not sure if the medal was through the ADA or it may have been through Eli Lilly.
I have a PPO now, but I did have an HMO when I was first diagnosed.

Could I have been misdiagnosed as a diabetic?

03 Jun

I’ve been diagnosed as a type one diabetic for almost three years.

I (and my family) was told after I was taken to the hospital with a blood glucose level of 934. I had the usual symptoms..tiredness, hunger, thirst, and weight loss; plus a great great grandfather who had diabetes. They told me that I still was producing a small amount of insulin..yet with type one your insulin supply is supposed to be depleted…?

After being diagnosed for about two years, I started having odd reactions to lantus (long lasting insulin) and decided to take myself off. I became sick for a few days, then was covered in hives for another 4 days. Yet after this subsided, my blood sugars regulated into a normal range for night/early morning readings.

Then I started changing my eating habits, so that the units of insulin per day were reduced to under 5 units. Some days depending on how much exercise and what types of foods I was eating.

I am on a healthy diet now and I exercise at least 4 times a week. Some days I don’t need to take any insulin at all. Some days I need a shot or two, but each shot is 3 or less units. My blood sugar keeps in a normal range.
I can have most vegetables with out insulin. I can have citrus, strawberries, nuts, and wine without insulin too.

I think it’s possible that I was misdiagnosed. What do you think?

No matter what I find out in the next few months or years..I will still continue to be healthy. To eat and exercise right. But I want to be as healthy as I can be; and I can’t help but think that with these injections and constant pricking..that I may be harming my body unnecessarily.

My question is do you think I was misdiagnosed and if so what do you think I should have been diagnosed with?
I talked to my endocrinologist about all of this, but he was as surprised as I was that my blood sugar is better without lantus and with a low supply of novolog.
He (endocrinologist) just said to continue what I have been doing and inform him of any changes at each appointment (every 3 months). And we would adjust things as needed.
I’m searching for opinions, not a new diagnoses.

For a diagnoses I will of course have that done by a GP..run a few tests and see how things turn out.
What would you qualify as a insulin over dose?
I know the lows and highs of blood glucose, yet whether the low is caused by exercise or insulin..that is the issue. Everyone tends to have lows in their blood sugar, after a long period of exercise and they require a certain amount of carbohydrates to revive their system.
I don’t take more than 3 units at a time now, and even then if it is that much, it is because I’m having an apple or another type of fruit.

I am trying to limit myself to only eating fruits when my blood sugar is 75-95. I’m working on it.

 
 

If you could post guidelines for diabetes , what would you post ?

02 Jun

It seems as though the same questions are asked over and over.
What would you post as basic information for people coming to this site for the first time or who have recently been dxed ?

Also , does it bother anyone else that people with no diabetes education post answers when they have no clue, here in a medical forum ? What can be done about this ?
Thanks.

I have diabetes but do not have access to a doctor. Could you help me…?

01 Jun

What should I do?
Just know that I have adult diabetes, but can’t go to the doctor (for some reason).
Any way I can treat it? Or lessen the risk of diabetes symptoms?
What should I do to be safe from anything?
I do not know anything about diabetes myself.
Please refrain from direct copying of phrases from informational websites (they are hard to understand and sometimes not helpful)
So should I really see a doctor?

Maybe what you people are saying is right, and I should really get medical attention as soon as possible. I will try get to a doctor by any means then…

But meanwhile, anything I can do to be safe? Because I don’t want to worsen the condition.

I think that avoiding sugar is important, but I am not very sure about it…….. I don’t know much about it…

When in a job interview, could you bring up your diabetes to answer a question?

27 May

I am 16 and trying to get a job. I have diabetes and celiac disease as well. I know they can’t discriminate due to helth problems. But if they ask me a question like “In what ways are you responsible?”, could you bring up diabetes? Maybe have a response like “Whenever I go out, I remember my diabetes supplies so I am prepared for emergency situations.”

Or is that a bad idea seeing as they can’t discriminate against health.
Thanks everyone……the answers were all great, I now know what to do……they were so good, but I am going to let the community pick the best answer because I can’t choose just one.

Thanks!

Could a kidney infection be a sign of the onset of diabetes?

25 May

I have a huge family history of diabetes, both type I and type II, but I’ve never had any symptoms of either outside of pregnancy. Now my blood sugar is really unstable, (52 yesterday… I felt like I was dying,) and I am nearly certain I have a kidney infection, (blood in urine, painful urination and SEVERE back pain on my left side). Is this my gateway into a really scary diagnosis???
