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.

My guess would be that perhaps your Blood Glucose Level is a bit lower than usual. Try eating something high in protein and some complex carbs such as peanut butter on crackers and see if it doesn't help.Good Luck!

If you are expecting to hear from a doctor here, dream on. You would do better to avoid any opinions from this forum and learn for yourself from a well informed doctor who has treated hundreds if not thousands of folks with those ailments naturally. And, no... he's not a naturopath, but a real, certified and licensed MD right here in California. I don't have hypertension, but his recommendations have helped my type 2 diabetes tremendously. Visit: http://www.drmcdougall.com\n\nI wish I would have listened to Dr. McDougall 15 years ago. I never would have become diabetic if I had. My true story....\nhttp://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html

First of all contact your insurance company. They can be a valuable resource. Second, contact your local American Diabetes Association chapter, they can provide you with endocrinologists along with a vast wealth of information. Finally, visit www.childrenwithdiabetes.com there is some GREAT help available there.\n\nPlease feel free to email me with any other questions...I've been in your shoes. Hang in there, ok?

J and gand..are both absolutely correct. If you are diabetic and checking your sugar and you are having difficulty controling it you need to see your diabetes management nurse or physician. Now there are a few other things that can also cause a rise in am sugars that would be the use of corticosteroids for the control of inflamation or endocrin disorders. Corticosteroids can actually cause a non diabetic to require the use of diabetic medications during the course of there treatment (that cortisol thing going on there)

The most important factor in preventing both hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia is to know the warning signs. \nSymptoms and signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) include:\n-- shaking\n-- increased heartbeat / fast heart rate\n-- sweating\n-- dizziness\n-- anxiousness\n-- hunger\n-- impaired / blurred vision \n-- weakness and fatigue\n-- headache\n-- irritability / aggressiveness\n\nSymptoms and signs of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) include:\n-- extreme thirst \n-- frequent urination\n-- dry / itchy skin \n-- hunger\n-- blurred vision\n-- drowsiness / sleepy\n-- decreased healing\n\nThese reactions will have a individualized / unique effect on different people, so learn your body's unique warning system. If you blood sugar is low / high, your body will alert you in some way, possibly including the signs above. Talk to your doctor to learn what to do in an emergency situation with these reactions.\n\nAs to prevention... \n\nTo prevent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), the obvious advice is to limit your sugar intake. Carbs are also the culprit in many hyperglycemic reactions so avoid excess amounts of those as well. Eat regularly.\n\nTo avoid a hypoglycemic reaction (low blood sugar), eat on a regular schedule and eat according to your dietary needs. Do not completely withold all sugar from your body.... you have to have glucose to survive. Restricting yourself to a strict no sugar regiment will cause your blood sugar to be too low. \n\nFor both situations, be sure to take your medications (oral and insulin) on a regular basis and on a fairly regular timed schedule. This will help to keep a constant, consistent amount of medication in your blood, therefore keeping a good regulation on your blood sugar level. Also, be sure to monitor your blood sugars at home on your own. Keep a close eye out for readings that might indicate you are heading toward an unsafe (either high or low) level. \n\nI hope this helps and good luck....

hi sweety (because you are diabetic) \nstop worrying.\nit is quite natural that people start worrying  at initial stage when they are advised to take medicines . definitely you can come to pre medication stage provided you  develop certain good habits like  diet control,simple exersises & medication(as advised by doctor) .\n\nregarding  diet control either we are ignorant or we cheat ourselves .i stress this point because i am also diabetic since 13 years. i know it is very difficult to avoid the food which we crave for .each day i tell myself that i am not going to eat the 'barred' food .like this i am adjusting to the situation .you can have tasty food even without sweets & transfat items. don,t copromise on taste.\ndefinitely you have to do simple exercises or brisk walk for 40 minutes daily.\ndon't stop medication until doctor advises you to do so..\ndiabetes is not a dicease.it is only deficiency.\nso don't bother .go ahead & enjoy yor life.

I'm not a doctor but have had diabetes for 38 years and know a bit about it. Blood sugar levels can be influanced by diet, exersise, stress, medications and a bunch more things. I would ask her doctor about any new meds she's taking and if they could raise her blood sugars. If she's taking medications for type 2 diabetes, make sure she takes them ontime and eats ontime and her regular diet. Doctors tell me to keep my blood sugars averaging below 160. Talk to her doctor and see what they think. Good luck.

I am a nurse and I was going to tell you to get check for diabetes. But you already have. so I would also get checked for thyroid disease. they can monitor it with medicine, it is not  big deal. I would differently talk with my doctor and if he can't find what's wrong get another doctor.

let your endocrinologist know that you are interested in finding out about other people with the condition in your living area. most places have diabetic camp, groups, annual fund raising, annual get together trips etc..... your Dr. should know of all of these activities. my son has been diabetic since he was 16 months old and he is currently 12 years old. if you would like to email me with your experiences i would be glad to accommodate.

Hi.. I am working in Oman and observed the same situation here. Actually  due to sedentary life style, high calorie food, lake of physical exercise increases the chances of diabetics.\nBest way to delay or prevent diabetic is include regular exercise in your daily routine and avoid high calorie food and try to take green vegetables and whole wheat products instead of refined floor products like bread etc.

if you value your health..see a doctor. I suspect it's related to your sugar level.

First, you should change a doctor.  A good doctor should never let his patient confused like this. \n\nDiabetes is defined as fasting blood glucose higher than 126, twice.  So the easiest way to find out is to get a copy of your blood test result, and look at it yourself.  \n\nSince you've stopped HCTZ, make sure you are taking something else for your blood pressure.

You need to see a doctor and get a glucose tolerance test.  That is a high fasting blood sugar and needs investigating...;
