Please help!!! My husband has diabetes... his sugar level in the morning is between 200 and mid 300...?

He was diagnosed about 2 yrs ago and has been having sharp pains in his legs and recently started having them in one of his hands. What can we do? I do not want to be a widow.

Real simple. Stop with the crappy diet and insufficient exercise. Learn all you can about taking care of it and make sure he learns it also. I no longer take any medication at all after five years of the disease and taking meds for it.

Do this to control the diabetes first.
These pranayam exercises will help control the diabetes and the side effects.Build up the timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume later(after about a minute).The benefits will be noticed in weeks as the sugar level is checked daily.Over the long term the diabetes will be in full control and the medicine can be reduced in consultation with the doctor.

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day)
Children under 15 years 鈥?do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.

Anulom Vilom 鈥?
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril
then 鈥?close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril
then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day(maximum 60 minutes in one day).
Children under 15 years - do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

Also everyday, press the centre point of the palm of both your hands 40 times with the thumb and press the tips of all fingers 40 times each.
Also do this: kneel down, breathe out,pull in stomach, keep your both hands on stomach, bend forward and try to touch the floor with your forehead.Do this 3 times to stimulate the kidney and pancreas.
Continue the exercises once a day, after the diabetes is in full control.

my dad has diabetes and my husband is border line what you need to do is but him on a diet right a way its going to be hard at first but once he starts to feel good he will be fine if he is taking meds make sure he is taken the right start to go for walks, walks are good they help burn the sugar and help the blood flow no more eggs your going to want to use egg beaters the yoke is bad also make sure blood pressure is doing good to if you want to talk more about what to make him to eat or anything about it you can always e-mail me

He needs to figure out a way to manage the glucose at night - maybe getting up once or twice in the night to inject insulin, or maybe use one of the newer insulin pumps that automatically monitor and manage glucose. If he doesn't presently get much exercise, a relaxing 15- 20 minute walk after dinner with your husband can help stabilize glucose levels.

He will have to go to the gp so that he can be perscribed some medication. However, this is not enough, he will have to lay off sugary foods and drink (you can get diabetic foods such as diabetic chocolate). Also exercise is very important.

Get his blood sugar under control, its too high. He iss having damage to the small nerves in his feet/hands from long standing high blood sugar. He needs a better diet and probably more diabetes meds, maybe even insulin if nothing else works.

there should be a level where he is suppose to call his doctor.. my moms was at 367 today. She has got has high as 426. Just call your doctor or by now hopefully you did. Moms usually runs high. But high can be a scarey thing. GOOD LUCK!

Has he been seeing his doctor and following the correct diet and taking his medicine if prescribed? He should see an endocrinologist for his diabetes care.

Well his blood sugars are not under control st all!!! He is probably developing Neuropathy and really needs to get those numbers down. See the Dr. and get a better plan to get his diabetes under control.

Is he under a doctor's care? He may have to give himself insulin shots. Ask the Dr. what to do to control his sugar level.

Easy answer. Get the diabetes under control...Talk to a doctor soon.

u better start going to an emergency room! like right now! this is no place for diagnosis!

i think you need to talk to his nurse after all its his life. Don't believe everything you read on YA
