What are some good pastas for diabetics?

03 Sep

My mother is a diabetic, and I actually want to go on a lower carb diet for my training, so I want to know what are some good pastas, breads and things like that, which are low in carbs?
I read it should be lower than 50 on the glycemic index, but I don’t really know. What is good for lower carbs for diabetics?

Insulin pumps for diabetics? ?

02 Sep

Hi,
I have a insulin pump now but I’m looking to get a new one. I have the deltec pump now and I hate having to buy my supplies through them. I have good insuerince but it cost over $400 a month for supplies. I would much rather buy my supplies through the pharmacy. So does any one know of a pump that lets you do that? If not do you know of a good pump that you have used? Why?
Thanks for the help
Julie

I always make my teachers candy (fudge, truffles, etc.) for the holidays, but this year one of my teachers is diabetic. Does anyone know any candy recipes that are safe for diabetics? What are the dietary restrictions anyway? I really don’t want to kill my teacher, she gave me an A.

08 Jul

What percentage of people overweight by at least 20% lbs become diabetics?
Any kind of diabetes. Persons over 50 and overweight for at least 10 years. If you know please give source.
I don’t think anybody knows, for which, the advise of physicians to overweight patients should be “If you loose weight your chances of not developing diabetes will improve by several percentage points.
If you are a dr or dietitian, please answer.

Why is it important diabetics get lots of food?

27 Jun

I am aware that diabetics have trouble producing insulin to turn excess glucose into glycogen and as a result their blood sugar level is high.

Why is it that they need lots of glucose intake then?

Some overweight diabetics have been able to reverse their diabetes by losing weight. Are there…?

19 Jun

any statistics about how much weight loss is likely to reverse diabetes. (I realize that not everyone that has diabetes can reverse weight loss with dieting, and that some diabetics are already at ideal body weight.)
Oops. In the second part I meant to say reverse diabetes with weight loss, not dieting with weight loss.

Anybody that has diabetes do you think their should be a insurance plans just for diabetics?

06 Jun

Anyone who is a diabetic should understand where i’m comeing from because being a diabetic is very expensive. I’m type 1 and been a diabetic since I was 3yrs old and it’s a struggle everyday. Medications are to high. Diabetes is a very serious condition why don’t they help diabetics out and you shouldn’t have to be 65 and over to get any medicare or medicade or have very low income or a child, they should include people who have diseases at these department of health care services. It shouldn’t have to be to a point to where your so ill that you cant do anything for your self to get SSI or any kind of medical help. Also, if they had a insurance plans “just” for diabetics it should cover any and everything.
