I have had neuropathy for a few years now. It is not in my hands and feet. But the rest of my entire body. I have degenerative disk disease from an accident at work. They sent me for an mri they said it is not pushing on any nerves. Maybe not that day but I had just watched a video of how there a all kinds of nerves running through your spine. Iif I do a lot of lifting etc… the kids neuropathy rages out of control. No even my meds will help get it under control. Any one have any idea’s… read more
I got poly neuropathy on my side between my liver and lung. It took 12 mts to diagnose. Was very painfull spent 6mts in bed and was in hospital 5 times.
Why is my sugar high when I get up in the morning
It's called The Dawn Phenomena....you can go read about it on the internet. When you don't eat for a period of time your liver releases glucose in the blood stream
I love water I drink 5,6 bottles a day Coffee in the morning and only water throughout the day My blood sugar runs low
I have been told that after having this surgery I would no longer have to treat my diabetes. However I am wondering if I would be trading one set of problems for another. Since I have a weight problem being approved is not a problem, but I prefer to do things as naturally as possible. Some insight would be helpful and appreciated.
Diabetes is caused by your bloods cells a/b
There is no cure by losing weight
Cant be done
I have heard so many people say they have to eat at specific times, (Scheduled) that it worries me. I am very likely to eat breakfast at 11 AM I if I'm not working on the day. Is it really important to be scheduled. I am not the least interested in eating in the AM, and often have no appetite at 5:00PM either but have to feed my family... 😣
Also, I have days when I will be burning hot one minute and freezing cold to the bones ten minutes later. Is this possibly related to diabetes?
Eating regularly helps regulate BS. Gives your body time to burn the carbs with keeping away lows.
All of us here have either been diagnosed with Diabetes or have someone close to us that have been given the news
So what is the "criteria" that separates us from Joe or Jane SugerEater?
Currently it is simply having an A1C, above 6.5% (47.5 mmol's in the IFCC scale) "twice in a row" measured 90 days apart
That's it, that's all - that "test" is all that is required for the Doc to determine "You have Diabetes"
No matter what you do after that, no matter how you control your blood sugar - no… read more
I feel your pain in my 74 year old left knee. I cannot walk as long or far and totally understand. I find wearing a knee sleeve does help me when I am walking. Even the cheaper (under $4 in… read more
Do people think there is a connection between stress and depression and diabetes? If so, to what extent do you feel the connections exist? My personal feeling is that the connections between these factors may be underestimated. I feel that 50%, and perhaps somewhat more, of the reason for my diabetes, comes from levels of stress and depression. Do others feel the same way? Thank you.
Absolutely. I’ve been very depressed since I was diagnosed 6 yrs ago because I feel as if my quality of life is less compare to “healthy” ppl. Anything can go wrong from within if you have diabetes… read more
Are diabetes and kidney problems and arthritis and depression related to diets and nutrition too. Esther
Yes, All in same Body. One item causes others.
Every 5 years the leading experts in the treatment of Type 2 get together at this big conference and make changes, based on new information, to the "consensus guidelines" that are used by the EU, UK and most of the Commonwealth and the United States, that become the national medical guidelines
So whether I post up something from the ADA's US Guidelines or from Diabetes Australia (or Canada or the UK), the only difference in the paragraph will be some spelling changes
Anyhow, in their latest… read more
Absolutely true
