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

First, he needs to see a diabetic specialist or his family doctor. Ask for an AC1 test. What have his sugars been over the past three months? Has he been snacking? As well, 4 small meals isn't really enough. He should be eating 3 well-balanced meals (your local diabetes association or doctor can help you with this and there are places that can offer advice on nutrition for diabetics) with snacks in between. Remember, raw vegetables are better than cooked and be careful with fruits. Fruits contain sugar and not all fruits contain the same amount fructose. Also, read the ingredients on foods you buy. Some foods contain an outragous amount of sugar even though they say "lite" or "fat-free". Also, remember, less fat is better. How much does he weigh? The more he's overweight, the higher his sugars are likely to go. Exercise is also important. Don't worry about joining the local gym, just a walk in the evening or something like that will do. Maybe a swim. It doesn't have to be difficult. Most of all, though, talk to your doctor. Insulin and medication levels may have to be changed or tests may have to be run. Your doctor is an invaluable resource in this matter. No food in the world is going to do what your husband and your doctor can do.

If you have Type 1 diabetes you can not get rid of it.  You do need to work with your doctor to establish a routine to be as healthy as possible.\n\nIf you are Type 2 you may be able to control your diabetes with exercise, a good nutrition plan, and monitoring.  It is possible to reduce your need for oral medication.\n\nI have been a type 1 for 20 years.  It can be handled but it is something that must be paid attention to.

The key is to eat a balanced diet of carbs vs proteins vs fats.  Usually we recommend that diabetics avoid high sugar foods such as regular colas, syrup (sugar free is okay) and moderate their intake of sweets and baked goods.  Have you been to see a registered dietician or diabetic nurse educator?  Either would be very helpful in helping you to acclimate and succeed at managing your diabetes.  I wish you the best.

Doing the Atkins diet "reversed" my diabetes.  Medically proven.  However, doctors will still bash it. Read the book and try it for two weeks and become a new you.

Brief Summary\n\nFor a minimum of 10 days, drink:\n\n2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. ½ lemon),\n\n2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B maple syrup, not maple-flavored sugar syrup or syrup from companies that use formaldehyde to harvest their syrup,\n\n1/10 Teaspoon or more cayenne pepper (hot red pepper), and\n\n1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) purified or spring water, NOT fluoridated water.\n\nFor diabetics, there is a section in some editions of The Master Cleanser on using molasses rather than maple syrup in the beginning of the cleanse. Any diabetic should read the book and consult their doctor before beginning the cleanse.\n\nDrink six to twelve glasses of this lemonade mixture daily. No food is eaten nor any vitamin supplements taken during the cleanse. If you get hungry, have another glass of lemonade. After all, this is also called the "Lemonade Diet."\n\nIf you are overweight, you may use less maple syrup. If you are underweight, use more maple syrup if you wish.\n\nIf you are worried about losing weight, Burroughs says, "The only things you can possibly lose are mucus, waste, and disease. Healthy tissue will not be eliminated."\n\nDo not vary the amount of lemon juice per glass and be sure to drink at least six glasses of lemonade a day. You can drink more water, if you want.\n\nI also strongly recommend you take probiotics AFTER the cleanse to replace the good bacteria you lose when you clean your colon thoroughly. These good bacteria manufacture vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B12, and K and help control bad bacteria, such as Candida. By the way, don't waste your money taking probiotics during the cleanse. They'll just get washed out. Do it after the cleanse.\n\nYou can read more about what probiotics do for you here.\nEnhance Your Elimination\n\nThis is a cleanse as opposed to a weight loss diet. So, you need to ensure you are eliminating the toxins that are being loosened in your system. Cravings, aches, pains, mental irritability and tiredness will turn on as your toxins are mobilized. To eliminate these unpleasant sensations, you need to be sure you have two, three, or more bowel movements a day.\n\nDrink a laxative herb tea each evening. You can find it in your local health food store. I recommend senna tea blend with senna being about half of it by weight. (Senna is an herb that promotes bowel movement.) The kind I've bought warn you not to drink more than two cups per day.\n\nEach morning on an empty stomach, add two teaspoons of non-iodized sea salt to a full quart of water. Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt water first thing in the morning. "Chug" this — drink it as fast as possible. Within an hour several bowel movements will likely occur. (You'll need to be by a toilet for half an hour to an hour.) If you do not have several bowel movements, try a little more salt in the water the next day until it works.\n\nDrink the herb laxative tea at night to loosen and the salt water each morning to wash it out. If you can't drink the salt water in the morning, drink the herb laxative tea at night and in the morning.\nWant to get all the ingredients easily?\n\nClick here to visit our web store.\nBreaking Your Fast\n\nBreaking a long fast is very, very important. You should ease your way back to solid food after one or two additional days of juices, orange or grapefruit. If you are going back to raw fruits and vegetables, you may do so on the afternoon of the second day.\n\nIf you have been a meat eater and/or milk products consumer, shift to cooked vegetable soup on the afternoon of the second day and a salad for dinner. Keep the lemonade drink as your breakfast drink after that. Of course, you would do better with the least amount of meat and no milk products as they are very productive of mucus and hinder digestion and absorption of nutrients.\nDetox Symptoms\n\nDetoxi

Eliminate the "bad" carbs, -usually they are anything white, only as a general rule, and eat only the high fiber carbs-whole grains, whole wheat-read labels, even watch certain veggies. Exercise Always helps, eat 6 small portions a day that are mostly protein, trying to eliminate dairy products, cut out the fat and the red meat!By eating 6 small meals daily, this will keep your insulin level at the proper level and you will not be hungry.  Buy a small book on carbs from your neighborhood drug store to better understand the difference between good and bad carbs and keep track on how many grams you are eating.  When I lost weight, I was on 15 grams of Good carbs.  Good luck, watch the dairy, fat, and red meat and I know you will do great.  If you are diabetic consult with your Doctor first, or if you have any other health matters.

Try looking into GI diet. Eating foods low on the glucose index should help stabilise your suger levels.

In foreseeable future no cure for Diabetes is is known.Type 2 Diabetes is generally seen in overweight people who eat well but exercise less.Stirct dieting ,strenuous exercise almost always reduces blood glucose to acceptable levels.But many do not follow this regimen .Such men and women should take two typed of drugs. 1)Metformin etc. These drugs facilitate the transfer of Insulin from blood to cells where Insulin is needed.2)Sulfonyl ureas. These drugs stimulate beta cells of Pancreas  to produce more Insulin.Generally a combination of these is used.\nAny claim of cure is only from quacks.Consult your doctor.

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.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that, at this time, there is no proven cure for diabetes.\nThere are a lot of claims for "cures", but, so far, none have stood up to rigorous testing.\n\nSome forms of diabetes (type 1) will require treatment with insulin, other forms (type 2) may respond to changes in diet and exercise, or may need oral medication..  but be aware that you are only treating the effects, you are not curing the disease, and it will need constant care and monitoring.  \n\nIf you suspect you are diabetic, then consult a reputable doctor as early as possible.

Eat less for your next meal. Exercise might help, but there are times when this has the reverse effect, such as when sugar levels are very high. Talk to your doctor.
