Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.\n\nThere are 20.8 million people in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 6.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the disease.\n\nIn order to determine whether or not a patient has pre-diabetes or diabetes, health care providers conduct a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FPG) or an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Either test can be used to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends the FPG because it is easier, faster, and less expensive to perform.\n\nWith the FPG test, a fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dl signals pre-diabetes. A person with a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or higher has diabetes.\n\nIn the OGTT test, a person's blood glucose level is measured after a fast and two hours after drinking a glucose-rich beverage. If the two-hour blood glucose level is between 140 and 199 mg/dl, the person tested has pre-diabetes. If the two-hour blood glucose level is at 200 mg/dl or higher, the person tested has diabetes.\nMajor Types of Diabetes\n\n\nThe Complete Guide to Diabetes, 4th EditionFurther Reading . . .\nThe Complete Guide to Diabetes has been completely revised to bring you all the information you need to live an active, healthy life with diabetes. Now in its fourth edition, this guide gives you information on the best self-care techniques and the latest medical advances. If you have diabetes, this guide will answer all your questions.\nFor more books on healthy living, click here.\n\nType 1 diabetes\nResults from the body's failure to produce insulin, the hormone that "unlocks" the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.\n\nType 2 diabetes\nResults from insulin resistance (a condition in which the body fails to properly use insulin), combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes.\n\nGestational diabetes\nGestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women - about 135,000 cases in the United States each year.\n\nPre-diabetes\nPre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are 41 million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 20.8 million with diabetes.\nAdditional Information\n\n\nDiabetes Learning Center for the Recently Diagnosed\nYou've just been diagnosed with diabetes.

first of all, what type of diabetic are you? Type one or type two? (type one requires insulin)\n\nRegardless of that, you need to eat healthy. Don't be fooled by low or no sugar items because it is carbohydrates that really matter. Carbohydrates process into sugar. \nAnd, exercise, exercise, exercise. Exercise such as a 30 minute walk qill do wonders for you sugar level.\nLaslty, test your blood at least four times a day and record what time it was, what you ate and what the blood level was at. By doing so you will realise what effects certains foods have on your body.\nGood Luck!!

Since your life is shortened when you have diabetes, you should not aim for being a normal diabetic, you should aim to cure your disease, in other words, be normal in blood sugar.  Type 2 can be cured.  My dad did it with the Pritikin diet.  It is drastic, but the disease's consequences are severe.  Allowing it to continue is keeping drug companies and your doctor in pools of money.  Get angry and get cured.  If you're going to drop oranges because they're carbs, make sure you consume a variety of other fruits including tomatoes.  Until your blood sugar drops to normal levels, cut out those starches that are made without fiber like white rice, potatoes, white bread and batter-fried foods.  Who wants to be addicted to drugs for 40 years, and then die (or get crippled) early anyway?

Diet is an integral part of diabetes management.\nDiet for diabetics is no different from the normal healthy diet recommmended for everybody.\n\nFat should be reduced to 30% of total energy intake, and consist mainly of unsaturated fats. Protein should be 15 % and carbohydrates 50-55 % of total energy intake.\nPatients should eat complex carbohydrates like potatoe and pasta, which are absorbed relatively slowly from the gastrointestinal tract, thus prevent the rapid fluctuation in blood sugar that occur with simple sugars, such as sucrose or glucose, are eaten.\nIt is better to spread nutrients throughout the day in the form or three main meals, in addition to snacks in between meals and at bedtime, which reduces swings in blood sugar.

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

There has been research going on for many many years in this field....best place to start with any info is your own doctor...you say your glucose isnt stabilized...if thats the case then you should be under a doctors care for it....all hospitals have counselors and information needed for diabetes and its treatment.Many of the teaching hospitals is where alot of the research is happening.
