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,

G'day Mark m,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nI would advise the relevant doctor that you have diabetes and they should be able to advise you whether it does or not.\n\nIn most cases, I would believe not but it would depend on the medication.\n\nRegards

There was a time where the situation you just wrote about could have been my fiancee writing. I've been diabetic for about 10 years now, and am only starting to take care of it now.\n   I had a lot of difficulty accepting my diabetes, didn't want to conform to the restrictions it imposed on me, didn't want to take piles of medications every day, and thought that I was tough and could just ignore it.\n    You were right to threaten him with leaving. You will have a life of sacrifice tending to his medical needs because he has refused to take care of himself. Your man can look forward to deteriorating health as complications from the diabetes multiply. If he isn't aware of the terrible things that happen to untreated diabetic patients remind him that he is risking limb amputation, blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and other nasty side effects. \n    I hope for the both of you that he comes to his senses before it's too late. My doctor recently told me that my kidneys will begin failing in 2 years if I don't change things. I have decided to fight my diabetes, and even though that means medications and four injections a day, I am going to try to reverse the negative impact diabetes is having on me.\n     Stick to your guns and leave him if he doesn't want to take care of himself. You'll avoid a lot of suffering in the long run.

For years doctors told me you do not get diabetes from eating a lot of sweet stuff (sugar) but I no longer believe that. I used to use 3 tsp. of sugar in every cup of hot beverage. I now find that doing that put a lot of stress on the pancreas.\n\nI cut way down on sugar, my diabetes is under control-recently my dr. took me off of diabetic medication and I have lost 22 lbs!\nOthers who have stopped certain brands of diabetic oral medication have also experienced weight loss. Brochures that come with your prescription will often mention weight gain as side-effects and it is true! Ask your doctor, if you go on medication, if there is one that will not have that side effect. I got up to 188 lbs! My weight continues to decline!\n\nI scarffed down sweets much of my life-please try and wean yourself off of it-the price to your health is not worth it! Diabetes is now in eptidomic porportions in this country and we have to make choices that,in the end, effect us a life-time. marlyne B

The routine bloodwork your doctor did would have come back positive for diabetes if you were diabetic. You are anxious about this situation because you have seen so much of it in your family. The best prevention for diabetes when you are 41 yrs old is to lose weight if you need to and exercise daily ! If you are obese, the chances of you becoming diabetic increase. I think you will be okay. Good Luck !

Follow the advice I took and things should return to normal shortly after getting your blood sugar stabilized. I actually had a couple of episodes where things went dark and blurry before getting diagnosed. Just get yourself on a serious health kick and you'll be fine in no time. You should find all you need to get started on my little diabetes info webpage...\nhttp://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html

you need to see both an endocrinologist and a certified diabetes educator.  Diabetes does not "sort itself out".  It takes dedication on the part of the patient and the practitioner (doctor, PA, or NP).  could be you need to get started on insulin.  Have you been, or are you resistant to "needles"?  insulin is not the end of the world; it CAN be a life-extender and life-saver!  The 16 hrs of sleep/day makes me want to ? other things, like: are you depressed, anemic, low thyroid, getting "quality" sleep?  all of these things can cause excessive drowsiness.  good luck.

You need to get your doctor to refer you to a diabetes nurse educator or endocrinologist (a doctor that specializes in endocrin diseases, which includes diabetes). He/she can explain your disease to you, and talk about the lifestyle changes you will need to make in order to prevent the complications of uncontrolled diabetes, like heart disease, gangrene and kidney failure. \nI have also included links to the American Diabetes Association, they will also have lots of  information. When it comes to diabetes, you cannot be too educated.\nGo out and buy a small notebook so you can jot down important information, and monitor your blood sugar levels in this diary.\nYou will need a high -protein, low carbohydrate diet. That means, cut out all sweets, sodas and candies. Limit starches (like potato chips, fries, etc), juices and fruits.\nI am sorry that they just dumped this on you and didn't take the time to explain. They are obligated to get you educated, so insist on a referral to a diabetes center.

Contact the American Diabetes Association.  Your doctor should have pamplets and information.  There should also be information that comes with your glucometer.  Your local hospital should also have information available.

A diabetic is very much at risk for infection because of the vascular impairment they have in the extemities, kidneys, and eyes.  Obesity is a very common cause of diabetes. Weightloss, and excersise, along with adequate, and timley medications is needed to fight this.  Avoid systemic antibiotics unless needed. Topical antibiotics are great.  See a good Doctor regularly.  PEACE
