Actually- the person involved needs to get checked by a physician for fibromyalgia. Is this person a diabetic too?\nIf so, the person needs to be checked for Celiac disease. The difference between a type 1 diabetic and a person that presents with Celiac is that the Type 1 diabetic will have ketones in the urine- the Celiac will not. I hope this helps.

Everyone is different. My son has type 1, I don't have diabetes. In my case, it would be the same as before I ate.

I'm unaware of this working. Talk to your doctor and see what he / she has to say about coffee and diabetes.

I'm not 13, but a very close family friend was 13 when he found out that he was diabetic. I know he had a really hard time when he first found out because he loved candy and cakes. You can still enjoy some sweets, but just in moderation. I have Type II diabetes, and I made a chocolate cake with whole wheat flour and used Splenda (Splenda also sells a brown sugar substitute now) and the cake turned out really good. I have found that with Splenda, even though it is supposed to measure the same as real sugar, I have to use a little bit more in recipes...about an extra 1/2 cup. Look for online support groups. I'm sure yahoo groups has something for you. Good luck, and remember to take care of yourself.

Actually you CAN eat carrots.  As a Type I you should eat a healthy variety of foods just like those who do not have diabetes.  Difference is you will have to take an insulin shot to break down the sugar in your body.  Carrots are higher in sugar than many other veggies so keep that in mind when taking your insulin.  Carrots contain vitamins that a great for you eyes which is beneficial to someone with diabetes.  As a Type I there really isn't any you "can't" have in moderation.  You just have to be vigilant about checking your glucose and maintaining tight control.

check the glucose content in honey. My father had diabetes and he insisted that he could eat all the honey that he wasted but when I had gestational diabetes I was told that honey is only slightly healthier than sugar and should also be used with caution.\nTalk to your doctor.

It really depends. There are several types of diabetes. including type 1 ( body fails to produce insulin) and type 2 (body fails to properly use insulin). I think that if you have type 1 diabetes, you need insulin injection or therapy. I am not sure though if its is curable. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented. Proper diet and exercise will help you prevent the disease. If you already have type 2 diabetes, there are some medications that could help lower your blood sugar. For a more in-depth explanation of the disease. Visit the website below.

The most common conventional treatment would be metformin.  Metformin is an insulin regulating drug often given to women with PCOS.  It helps to control the high levels of insulin that go along with IR (insulin resistance).  It's thought that in PCOS patients with IR, high levels of insulin also cause the ovaries to produce too many male hormones, so metformin can also help with other PCOS symptoms as well.  I take metformin for PCOS and for high lipids caused by IR.\n\nTwo natural remedies come to mind: vanadyl sulfate and cinnamon.  Vanadyl sulfate, or vanadium, has shown mixed results in scientific studies but is thought to increase the body's sensitivity to insulin.  Cinnamon has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels.  I take a combined vanadyl sulfate/cinnamon supplement.\n\nDiet and exercise, of course, are very important.  PCOS patients are often advised to follow a diet low in processed carbohydrates and sugar due to the connection between PCOS and insulin problems.  I eat a low fat, very low cholesterol, high fiber, vegetarian diet and I try to exercise every day.\n\nUnfortunately there is no cure for PCOS.  We can only treat the symptoms and the underlying problem of insulin resistance.

There are many supplements that will help your diabetes. However giving what they are is not allowed here because of solicitation rules in place. One for example is Grape seed extract for circulation, there is one patented version I prefer that is six times more potent but any will help some.

Hello dear,\n\nFirst of all you must correct the spelling of "Diabets" and "madecin" to write as "Diabetes" and "medicine" respectively.\n\nIt is fine that you are not depending on Insulin injections and your sugar level is just little more than the normal limits.  There are medicines to cure diabetes but you will not believe.  It happened with many patients of mine and they continued to suffer without taking proper medicines and not listening to my advice.\n\nIn the meantime, please try some home remedies and I am sure you will come back to me after few days for more advice.  I am available on "adam2madam@yahoo.com" and trust is must to mail me.\n\nHome Remedies:\n\n1.  Drink the juice of one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach in the morning on a regular basis.  This will bring your sugar level down and you will feel fresh.\n\n2.  Eat lots of cucumber to get rid of your dry mouth and frequent urination, if any.  Drink lots of water.\n\n3.  Please avoid Banana, Mangoes and Apple Custard completely.  These fruits contain lots of glucose and it is very dangerous for diatebes.\n\n3.  Brisk walking is always helpful for diabetic patients.\n\n4.  Avoid sugar and ice cream.  You may add sugar free tablets to your tea or coffee.\n\n5.  Take 500 ml sugarcan vinegar bottle and put 50 raw garlic flakes into the bottle and leave it for 10 days. Eleventh day onward, take one garlic flake from the bottle with one spoon vinegar after breakfast and see the result.\n\n6.  You must eat lots of other fruits like guava, watermelon, muskmelon, apple, pineapple, papaya and dry fruits to keep your stemina up.\n\n7.  To enhance your immune system, take 300g of Indian Gooseberry powder (preferable known as Amla) and 100g of dried ginger powder.  Mix them well and store in a glass jar.  Take one spoon powder daily by mixing in a glass of water.\n\n8.  Allopathic medicine can be taken if needed.  They only supress the disease and do not cure any ailment.\nAt lost, please do not allow my efforts to go waste and let me know the progress.\n\nBest of health,

Hi There\n\nHere is an action plan of attack.\n\nQuick Action Plan for Diabetes\n\n\n1. Be aware for early signs of blood sugar problems. Have the proper yearly tests performed.\n\n2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of beef, bison meal lamb or veal.\n\n3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed "junk foods." In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.\n\n4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health.\n\n5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are keys to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.\n\n6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, chromium, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium. Stabilized rice bran supplements can also be helpful.\n\n7. Herbs such as astragalus, bitter melon, fenugreek, garlic, ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and huerque can also provide significant benefits.\n\n8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, oxygen therapy, and professional dietary and nutritional counseling. Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine can also be helpful.\n\n9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health. \n\nBest of health to both of you\n\nCheers
