first of all, what type of diabetic are you? Type one or type two? (type one requires insulin)\n\nRegardless of that, you need to eat healthy. Don't be fooled by low or no sugar items because it is carbohydrates that really matter. Carbohydrates process into sugar. \nAnd, exercise, exercise, exercise. Exercise such as a 30 minute walk qill do wonders for you sugar level.\nLaslty, test your blood at least four times a day and record what time it was, what you ate and what the blood level was at. By doing so you will realise what effects certains foods have on your body.\nGood Luck!!

If you have Type 1 diabetes you can not get rid of it.  You do need to work with your doctor to establish a routine to be as healthy as possible.\n\nIf you are Type 2 you may be able to control your diabetes with exercise, a good nutrition plan, and monitoring.  It is possible to reduce your need for oral medication.\n\nI have been a type 1 for 20 years.  It can be handled but it is something that must be paid attention to.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS   CHECK BLOOD GLUCOSE 30 MIN'S B/4 MEALS.  TAKE THE MEDICATION ACCORDING TO THE DOCTORS INSTRUCTIONS.  IN MY CASE I TAKE 1 SHOT B/4 EACH MEAL AND AT BEDTIME.   KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL OR IT WILL CONTROL YOU.  GOOD LUCK

I have same trouble. .  dessert has always been my favorite part of the meal.   Unfortunately, there really aren't any shortcuts;  there are four factors that will affect your sugar level   1)Food and 2)Stress will make it go up  and 3) Physical exertion and 4) Insulin will make it go down.  It's a daily chore to maintain a balance of all of these but it's really the only way.   To echo others' sentiments here on Yahoo! Answers,  even if it sounds like really excellent advice!,  Don't depend on it to determine your actions.  Talk to your Doctor or a registered Dietitian please!

tough question.  I have a patient who has the same problem, sort of anyway.  she swells from insulin.  try taking minimal doses of insulin to control as best as possible without allergic reactions.  not the ideal but it's the best you might be able to do for now.  my recs would be to find a diabetes educator who can help you with diet and weight control.  maybe a university medical center where they are on top of leading research and treatment.  maybe you are a candidate for a pancreas (& usually kidney) transplant.  diet and exercise can go a long way but type 2 is considered to be a progressive disease and you may already be beyond control without insulin.  good luck to you.  I know your situation is very frustrating.

The diabetes needs to be gotten under control immediately!!!  You need to eat 4-6 SMALL meals per day--good protein, veggies and fruit.  Watch your sodium intake (especially be cautious of processed foods--canned, frozen, etc.-fresh is best).  Drink lots of water.  Watch your carbs--whole grains are best.  Diabetes can cause serious kidney damage, which can cause edema.  You're taking a high dose of diuretic--maybe a different one would work better for you.

Hi There\n\nHere is an action plan of attack.\n\nQuick Action Plan for Diabetes\n\n\n1. Be aware for early signs of blood sugar problems. Have the proper yearly tests performed.\n\n2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of beef, bison meal lamb or veal.\n\n3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed "junk foods." In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.\n\n4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health.\n\n5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are keys to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.\n\n6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, chromium, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium. Stabilized rice bran supplements can also be helpful.\n\n7. Herbs such as astragalus, bitter melon, fenugreek, garlic, ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and huerque can also provide significant benefits.\n\n8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, oxygen therapy, and professional dietary and nutritional counseling. Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine can also be helpful.\n\n9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health. \n\nBest of health to both of you\n\nCheers

if you have occasional episodes of low blood sugar, then a glass of milk and digestive biscuit will higher it. Don't go mad eating sweet stuff to get it up, as it doesn't take alot. a glass of 7up either will do the trick. Are you an actual diabetic or simply prone to getting low blood sugar levels? Keep an eye on your levels and ensure you eat enough in the day. You may be exercising alot and not eating enough to replace the energy lost. have a chat with your practice nurse.

You need to meet with a dietitian. Your insurance should cover it, and you can get your doctor to recommend it if need be. Regular meetings should include meal plans, grocery list, snacks to have on hand, and times to eat them. Get on a tight eating schedule based on the plan you come up with for your needs. This will help your body to adjust and learn to regulate it self. That is important when you blood sugar play such a vital role in how and what you eat. Once you are in a regular schedule, and have given your body time to adjust to it, work with your nutritionist to start adding weight.

I have those issues too sometimes!  It was hard, but I managed to lose 54 lbs!  You can even see my before and after pic here! http://www.healthandstrength.net\n\nI use cinnamon in the morning in warm water to help level out my blood sugar levels.  I also remind myself that those foods are NOT beneficial to any body part except my taste buds so they aren't really worth to eat.\n\nHere is what I did to lose my weight!\n1. NEVER EVER ate sugar. It's a poison that makes us older, sicker, fatter and tired...all things we dont want. Seriously, sugar is the one who does the dirty work in weight gain. Stop eating it all together. You can see my list of ingredients to avoid when shopping here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweeka.htm...\n2. Drink ALOT of water. 2-3 liters a day. The more the merrier!  We need about half our body weight in ounces JUST for regular body functions!  When you feel thirsty, that means you are already dehydrated and lose brain function.  Water flushes toxins from your fat cells and keeps you younger.\n3. Exercise!!! So very important. Here http://www.healthandstrength.net/abexe.htm... are my favorite ab exercises.  I also do cardio 4-5 days a week for about 30 minutes a time.\n4. Eat less. How many calories do you think is in that burger or that plate of fries or in that handful of chips. What about overfilling our plates? If you go here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm... I wrote something about saving on calories and losing weight.\n5. Go to sleep before 10pm. Your body starts repairing and rebuilding and speeding up weight loss while you sleep only if you sleep at about 10pm. If you are awake and go to bed at 12, you miss out on that very important time. I have a good article on my site here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweekb.htm that talks about the importance of sleep and how STRESS can make actually make you fatter.\n6. BE POSITIVE. Be thankful every day and love yourself\n7. BE CONSISTANT! That I think is the KEY to losing weight. So what if you went a week and only lost a pound...or didnt lose any...KEEP going. DON'T stop. This is a lifelong commitment, so stick to it and one day you will open your eyes and need a new wardrobe!\n8. Eat more veggies and skinny friendly foods. I have my list of my top ten foods that I ate to lost weight here http://www.healthandstrength.net/tenfoods.htm...\n80% veggies at every meal including breakfast will keep you young and help you lose weight. \n9. Do the little things that count!  Check out 10 cool ideas that you can do to help boost your calorie burn throught the day here: http://www.healthandstrength.net/tips.htm\nGood luck and don't forget that YOU are the only one who decides what foods enter your body and how long you sit around.  Make the change, take the chance and give yourself time!  You can do it.  I know you can!

I was shocked when I was told I had it.\nMy life has changed dramatically...for the better.  I am healthier, eat a better diet and I am fitter coz I got off my bottom and started doing some exercise!\nI dont take insulin (I have late onset/type 2) diabetes.  I take tablets.  Mind you, I have to watch my blood glucose as I tend to go hypo!

Depending on the glucose level, you could be pre-diabetic or diabetic. You may be able to lower this level through exercise and a healthier diet.

The key is to eat a balanced diet of carbs vs proteins vs fats.  Usually we recommend that diabetics avoid high sugar foods such as regular colas, syrup (sugar free is okay) and moderate their intake of sweets and baked goods.  Have you been to see a registered dietician or diabetic nurse educator?  Either would be very helpful in helping you to acclimate and succeed at managing your diabetes.  I wish you the best.

Yes it can lead into diabetes if you are not careful, if your blood suger gets low use glucose tabs, peanut butter, eggs, or juice to level it out, but never sugary candy, watch your candy intake, I too have this problem

I caution you to be very careful when self-treating diabetes.  It is an extremely tenuous condition, and monitoring you blood glucose is imperitive.  While elevated blood sugar may give you no symptoms now, in the long run, there are SERIOUS complications!  (Including blindness, nerve problems, heart problems, amputations,etc).  Please, please, please monitor your blood glucose.  Be under the care of a physician.\n\nAnother note - Type I (childhood) diabetes is much less controllable with diet - your body simply does not have the cells to pruduce insulin.  Type II can sometimes respond to changes in diet.

I agree the first answer that prayer would really help.  sounds pretty bad.  It seems diabetes always complicates any situation.
