Tell your friend to go to the store and get a glucometer.  They can range from inexpensive to real expensive but most have mail in rebates which make the meter virtually free.  Any brand is good and the simpler the operation the better.Have her test her blood sugar once a day in the morning before she eats (fasting blood sugar, a good indicator of control).  The normal range is 80-120, anywhere within that range is good.  Most new kits come with a 10 day supply of everything and you can use the lancet (pricker, the thing with the needle on it) up to 4 times before it starts to dull.  Plus supplies can be bought over the counter.\n\nFoods to avoid:  Quick sugars, candy, anything with high fructose corn syrup, anything covered with sugar or sugary glaze, sugary cookies, table sugar, etc you get the idea\n\nFoods in moderation:  fresh fruits and fruit juices (some are very high in fruit sugar and some of the juices have high fructose corn syrup added), pies and cakes (small portions are good)\n\nFoods allowed: Pastas, rice, beans, meats, cereals ( hot cereals, not flavored-cold cereals, not sugar coated or flavored), juices (citrus, cranberry, lite or no sugar added),applesauce (no sugar added), vegetables (fresh or canned), etc.\n\nHave your friend  call the local hospital and ask for the dietician. Have her explain the situation and take her advice.  If she needs to make an appointment then do it.\n\nShe must take a proactive attitude and get all the information she can.  She can also go to the library and get books on diabetic diets and cooking.  As her friend look up American Diabetic Associan on the web, they have a site for recipes and other information that will be helpful.  Good Luck!

Complications from diabetes.

Normal blood glucose upon waking should be relatively low.  Before eating, a normal healthy person should be between 70-110.  \n\nFind another doctor for a second opinion.  I tell you this because 4 years ago I was doing all of this same thing -- except because of a chronic dry mouth condition I didn't realize I was drinking more water.  I thought I had a bladder infection.\n\nMy doctor used my urine to check for bladder infection and ran another quick test to check for protein -- she reported to me in 10 mins that my bladder was fine -- it was Diabetes that was my problem.  \n\nI was 36 yrs old -- I had lost 45 lbs in 3 months because of a recent divorce and child custody issues.  I was stressed out after my husband just left, I had to sell our house, move from 1400 sq ft to 800 sq ft and figure out how to move on. \n\nI was put on oral meds -- because it was adult onset the dr assumed I had Type 2.  It wasn't working.  I found another dr and had more testing done -- it was discovered that I am actually Type 1, I am now insulin dependant.  I also have a second autoimmune disease:  Sjogrens -- which will give all the other symptoms you are having: chronic fatigue, low energy, short term memory loss, night sweats and other wonderful things. \n\nGet a second opinion -- and tell the dr you choose what your suspicions are.  At best, ask for a full blood panel to also check your hormones -- this could be something hormonal and is causing your sugars to be affected.
