Any advice for someone who just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? |
I'm 29, male ... love Frosted Flakes and Vault! I suppose those are out now! You are waaaayyyy too young for this! It makes sense for you to give up everything white and processed, like flour, sugar, pasta, rice, etc. Eat whole grains and lean meats and exercise by walking at least 30 minutes daily, as fast as you can. Soon, your diabetes will go away like magic, because you caught it early and beat it back. Good luck! Yes I think there are. Do what the doctors tell you. Frosted flakes are not worth going blind and losing your legs. I would avoid them. Here's your advice: For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I鈥榲e listed below鈥?they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems... I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here: http://www.diabetesimprovement.com/... The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/np/fnrb/fnrb0... For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/type...

Some great health sites with all kinds of general health information: http://www.chetday.com http://www.drmcdougall.com Some good advice so far...I'll just add to cut out the trans fat. There is usually a free class of about 2 hours at your local hospital, call and ask.Basically you have to watch the carb intake of each meal and usually 2 snacks are allowed a day.Most type 2 have to take metformin, the pill once or twice a day.Once you learn to count carbs, it will be better to control.Special k, oatmeal( the red box)2 boiled eggs and whole wheat toast, yogurt,cottage cheese, are some choices for breakfast.It doesn't take long to learn how to eat and what to eat.Keep lists of choices for your meals and you can add to them.Snacks are like one apple or popcorn is something you can have alot of. What did your doctor say are you on medication and Dieter or just diet a lone if you diet along count your self lucky Most people have both it really easy to control but taken a jog around the won't hurt it will help by keeping your sugar Not to over do it you don't want a low they are not pretty I've had a few What we want is a range from 7 to 6.4 or even 6.3 is good have them give you a chart that tell what is healthy and what not Healthy if you feel light head it's OK to check your glucose levels if you have not should do any ways Glucose meter don't cost very much some store will give the monitor you buy the and it is some time covered talk to you drug store they tel you whats covered and not cover Canadian |
