My father in law was diagnosed with diabetes, he also has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I would like to know where I can find info on healthy foods that he can eat or cook for himself.
Thanks for your answers.
My husband is leery of attempting a pregnancy because I have type 2 diabetes. I have read about it, and while it is considered high risk, the success rates appear very positive.
Your ideas please.
I just had my 10 week ultra sound and we saw 2 babies. Just the shock of that was enough.Then I went to the Perinatal clinic [ in the same hospital ] and the nurse was looking for the doppler to listen for the baby’s heart beat. I said I just had the ultra sound and guess what, It’s twins !
She gasp and said, "great , that’s just what I don’t need. You are a high enough risk anyway just having diabetes "
It was so funny. Like it was her pregnancy.
It is a lot of work being pregnant with type 2 diabetes. I ended up taking a very high amount of insulin.And there are loads of tests.
You should see a perinatologist prior to becoming pregnant to know each other and get in the best possible diabetes control you can.You will have to get off of oral meds and go on insulin.It’s not really that hard.
My A1c through out was 7.5 and all was well.
Good luck and best wishes.
I have ketone test strips and when I took one this morning it put me in the large level. I have been on a fast for about three days now and would like to continue, however I am concerned about how high the level is. Is it dangerous for a person who is not diabetic to have a very high level of ketones in their blood?
eat for god sake,your kidneys are about to digest themselves,and you are dead

Many of us have been led to believe that if our blood sugars aren’t really that high unless above 200.
Actually a fasting (before morning food or coffee) blood sugar above 85 represents the beginning of high blood sugar.
If you have diabetes your goal should be pre-meal blood sugars 70-99 and 2-hr after meal blood sugars b/w 100 and 139 (lower ranges are best).

Im a nursing student and im sort of confused. My teacher gave us a paper titled "HYPOglycemic drugs Indicated for Type 2 diabetes"
One of the drugs listed is Glucophage.
For glucophage it says it decrease glucose production in the liver, but wouldn’t you want that if you were a HYPERglycemic and not Hypoglycemic?
I’m in med school, and your teacher is right. The class of drugs you give to a diabetic are called hypoglycemic drugs because they INDUCE hypoglycemia in the patient.
My 8-hour fasting glucose levels each morning run around 103-106. I took a 75 gm glucose tolerance test and the results were 99 (baseline pre-test), 179 (at 1 hour), 141 (at 2 hours) and back to 98 (at 3 hours).
When my sugar drops into the 80′s I get shaky, hot, nauseated and ready to pass out.
I have another appointment with my doctor late next week to interpret these results but I can’t bear to wait that long so I’m asking for your opinions here, too.
Possibly. Here’s what your numbers are telling me.
Your fasting at the lab was in normal range, but just barely. If the readings on your home meter are accurate–and remember that home meters are notoriously inaccurate–then you’re technically in the pre-diabetic range.
Your one-hour spike was a little high. Not too bad. Your two-hour postprandial was almost in the normal range. That’s good. Not great, but good. Your three-hour reading was good, too. That tells me that your first-phase insulin response is somewhat impaired, as indicated by your high spike and your inability to come down under 140 mg/dL after two hours. (You’re borderline.) First-phase insulin response is when your body releases stored insulin. However, your second-phase insulin response seems to be intact, which means that your body is still producing enough insulin to bring you back down to normal levels within 2-3 hours. That means you probably have some impairment going on, but it’s not at dangerous levels yet. First phase is the first to go usually.
The fact that you feel hypoglycemic in the 80s might mean that you are running a little high most of the time. What is your A1c?
The good news is that you’re NOT diabetic. The bad news is that you might be pre-diabetic. If you are, you have caught it very early. You can avoid diabetes by being vigilant with diet, exercise and weight loss (if necessary).
