Diabetes meal planning
Written by OKR
Written by OKR
It is very important for diabetics to have a meal plan. This is a scheme that tells them what kind of food they are allowed to eat and how much of it. This should fit your eating habits and daily routine. If it is followed, your blood sugar and pressure will improve, as will your cholesterol numbers. A good meal plan can help you loose weight or keep your existing one.

I have been T2 for over three years now, doing well, but I have a problem I have never heard of before. I take glucophage in the AM and PM and my AIC is at 6.1. Not bad at all.
The problem is...I always have low reading after meals, if I am at say 115 before a meal, I can eat small serving potatoes, meat, veggies, coffee with sweetener, even dessert and I will have smaller numbers after the me

Hi,
Yesterday, at the diabetes clinic (at my GPs surgery), I learnt a lot more.

Hi,
My diabetes specialists recommend that I take my blood sugar levels (and blood pressure) once a day in the following pattern.
Day 1 - before breakfast, Day 2 - after breakfast, Day 3 - before lunch, Day 4 - after lunch, Day 5 - before supper and Day 6 - after supper - and then repeat. (After meals means 2 hours after food.)

The difference between T1 and T2 diabetes

Written by Anita
It seems that many people confuse between T1 and T2 diabetes, so I'll do my best to explain the difference.
People who suffer from Type 1 diabetes (also knows as T1 diabetes), do not produce enough insulin, or don't produce insulin at all, and as a result have problems in using the carbs they eat. Such people must inject insulin in order to keep themselves a live.

My control improved... at last. I've been working very hard for the past 2 months. On my meter, the average dropped from over 9 mmol to 6.3mmol. I'll have my A1c later this week. But the best news is that I can drop completely the acarbose ( from 3 a day to 0 ) and cut down 1mg of Repaglinide ( from 4mg to 3mg) at each meal.

Hi guys. I posted this on the sugarland blog and thought I would share it here.
I read what you said about your son, and yes it is wrong to assume that all T2's are overweight or obese. What is the bigger concern here is exercise. Your cells have insulin receptors on the outside of them. Insulin binds to them and a chain reaction occurs bringing glucose transporters to the cell surface in order

I just found out today that I have Type II Diabetes. I'm 32 years old.
It didn't come as a surprise. I had been feeling the symptoms for the last six months but was in denial and as a college student, I don't have health insurance, so I didn't go to the doctor.
Finally, a condition developed that I couldn't ignore. The blood test was run and my glucose level was 260.

People with Type 1 diabetes are not able to produce insulin. Type 1 usually occurs before the age of 30, but could happen at any age. Type 1 can be caused by genetics. The origins of Type 1 are not understood completely, yet there are several theories. But all of the possible causes still have the same end result: The pancreas produces very little or no insulin anymore.
