Hi I dont think its very difficult to be a "victim" of this decease - my advice to you is not to eat after 8PM (whats your medication?). If you drink - stick to redwine - its OK - stay away from whisky/coke etc. (or you can drink Vodka soda with a very tiny tip of orange juice to top it up...

Just loosing a couple of kilos can do magic....maybe you try to get her to loose 3-4 kilos? KIM

I suggest you to take daily dosis of ALPHA LIPOIC - even if you have swallow problems - I believe its always good to try to see if you can totally come of the meds. I used to be on 12UNITS 24 hour insulin and 3 Gloucophage tablets 500mg per (my readings was then 6.8 average). I have now...

I became a T2 case a year ago (Im 45) and when I was diagnosed my readings were 19-30 - I had Ketones - could barely see and had neuropathic feets and hands. I was hospitalised for 10 days to get my readings down. When I left the hospital I was 6 on an average and I could see again and ketones...

Hi again Allan The tablets I take against bad feets and hands is METHYCOBAL - it helped me together with getting sugar levels right. You need to do a huge effort to keep your sugar levels low. Even you take a lot of medicine - its not the way to keep sugar low - only life-style change is. No...

Hi Diabetic people should not be under stress of any kind - your husband might have to consider changing his work. I know it sounds heavy, but also I have totally changed my life around and had to go from manager to assistant level to avoid stress levels. You will find that it is very difficult...

I read an article in STERN Magazine (German) that said that diabetic people were told a lot of rubbish by their doctors. The main problem with Diabetics is that research still hasnt answered a lot of questions to why we loose feets and can end up having a lot of complications - so doctors - who...
