yes it is the reason that my husbands grandmother cannot take it... she is an insulin dependent diabetic... and the doctor says no, due to the effects on the blood sugar

To elevate your blood sugar levels hopfully preventing the "symptoms", or passing out.

Yes, but you have to take into account how many sugars are involved and adjust your sugar intake for the rest of the day, or adjust your insulin to compensate.

Insulin secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas controls the blood glucose levels by stimulating body cells to increase the uptake and utilization of glucose; enhancing the formation of glycogen from glucose and by stimulating fat synthesis in liver. \n\nWhere as the other hormone GLUCAGON (secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreas) increases the blood glucose level when the level goes below normal. This is done by accelerating the breakdown of glycogen to glucose and by increasing the breakdown of fats to fatty acids and glycerol(this can be used as a source of energy instead of glucose).

Albuterol (salbutamol) stimulates beta 2-adrenergic receptors, which leads to several effects including increase in blood glucose. The exact mechanisms have not been well studied.

Others don't use cinnamon routinely because the research looking at cinnamon administration to help control blood sugars is mixed.  Studies in rats have shown a potential benefit.  However, some studies in humans have shown an improvement and some have not.  There are no randomized, placebo-controlled trials; therefore in the trials that did show a difference, it is impossible to know how much can be attributed to placebo effect.  In addition, studies need to be large enough to prove that the apparent benefit isn't just due to chance.  Your sugar has improved, but do we know it was from the cinnamon?  Who can say?  Maybe your overall diet improved during that time; or maybe you started exercising more; or maybe the numbers you got were both within the normal range of fluctuation.  Everybody's fasting glucose will vary from one day to the next.  Still, I am an advocate of alternative medicines and am interested to see if any good trials ever come out to show one way or another if cinnamon can truly improve blood sugars.  On the other hand, there are many studies which show proven benefit for other treatments such as exercise, weight loss, and oral drugs such as metformin.

A friend of mine was on Topamax and she experienced tingling in her hands and feet.  She also had a change in her taste.  Anything with artificial sweetners tasted very metallic to her and she couldn't stand the taste of anything alcoholic.  She also suffered from weight gain (about 25 lbs).  All of the symptoms went away when she stopped taking the med.

Dexatrim used to work fairly well. It contained pseudaephedrine which caused a numbness of the tongue which decreased the urge to eat.  The FDA took off the market all products containing pseudaephedrine because it was used to make crystal meth.  Buying it now, would be a waste of money.

Sounds to me like a doctor has been trying to scare you.   Your numbers are fine.   It makes me crazy to see people worried about varying between 80-130.   This tells me that SOMEone has been spooking them about diabetes.   Yes, diabetes is a big problem in our country, but it's also big business.   The profits involved in the testing devices and medication is tremendous.    Some companies will give you a free tester because you will then use their products (via prescription) for the rest of your life, and may not need them.\n\nTrue diabetics have blood sugars like mine, 400s up, or like my cousins, which go from 30 - 400 in one day.   It is irritating as heck to hear people fretting about their blood sugar going up to 130  (usually after eating a chocolate cake).    A doctor or someone is telling them they are potential diabetics, instead of guiding them toward more healthy eating habits.    I have seen this too often lately, and hope people will be responsible and get a second opinion before getting treatment for a disease they don't have.   \n\nGood luck to you!!!!

Your glucose level would elevate in your bloodstream although if you are a well controlled diabetic you should have medications on hand to compensate for this so that it would not go above 140 or 150 unless you consumed ridiculous amounts of glucose.  If you are a diabetic - and unless your glucose was documented to be low - I would not recommend that you try this.

I am also diabetic, tightly controlled, and have been for 16 years. I find that the only meds that raise my bloodsugar are steroids (and they DRASTICALLY raise it), amphetamines (like in pseudophed and other decongestants), and antibiotics. I find that amphetamines and antibiotics only raise it a little, but that steroids push it 200 and 300 points upwards and I have to bolus often and raise my basal rate by a full unit each hour. Yeah, I'm a pump user and I love it!

Yes it can, in my experience I get a headache when I'm coming off a sugar high. Eat something with some complex carbs and you'll level out again.

odds are, that your blood glucose is elevated. Once you get on metformin and get your BG back down to the 100s, the urine will return to a straw color.  When your blood sugar gets just so high, your kidneys start dumping sugar thru the urine.\nPersonal experience.   Dxd 2/06 as Type 2 by docs at MDACC with A1c of 9.5% and BG of 305.    now down to 105s.\neveryone over 55 should have a fasting Blood sugar test done one or twice a year.

It depends on how your body reacts to the introduction of glucose to your body.  If your insulin levels are excessively high, it may use up the glucose more quickly than a person with a normal level of insulin; this would, in essence drop your glucose to lower than the fasting level. This can be an early indicator of diabetic risk.

Especially in Type 2 diabetics, there is considerable variation in response to insulin. You are still producing some, but your production rate and the response of your body cells (actually about 2/3 of them) is such that you need that long. \n\nIt is too long, really, and you should discuss with your doctor whether you should go on medication of some kind. One of the sulfonylureas is probably what will be prescribed; these have the effect of making ht epancreas output more insulin than before at the same level of blood glucose. They usually have little other effect, and they may be enough to bring your glucose down to reasonable levels in a reasonable time. \n\nOr you can rely on exercise to do the controlling, but there may not be enough time available for that...

for most people, the best first line drug is glucophage.  It doees very well in controlling blood sugar and my caue somne weight loss as well. some people cant take it because it makes them nauseated or the diabets has allready wrecked their kidneys.  Avandia and Actos are also very good meds if u have the money or inurance to buy them.  I put all my dm patients on glucophage first if there are no contraindications.
