Basics of a Diabetes Meal Plan

My A1C is 5.2 and the 2md hr of my 3hr glucose tolerance test was 180. My doctor says I am early stage of Type 2 my dietitian says she thinks I might be early Type 1 and should get further testing and cut gluten out to see if there is a connection..should I see an endocrinologist?

So I am writing down what I eat and I try to be at the Gym and excercise an hour a day 5-6 days a week. How can I lower my A1C?

I was recently diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. My A1C was 6.4 and the two hour fastening came back at 218. One doctor tells me I am Pre Diabetic due to the A1C and the other says I am Diabetic. I am a "newby" I was not given any pills or insulin, I guess I barely crossed over the line to where I can still control it. I still cannot believe I have Diabetes.... I need someone to talk too that already has Diabetes...maybe that will help me.

IM TYPE 2 FOR 5 YRS AND 34 YRS OLD. I'VE TRIED ALOT OF THINGS. EXCERCISE IS THE BEST THING TO DO. FOODS, I KNOW ITS HARDER. ITS HARD TO FIND SOMETHING THATS GOOD FOR AND TASTE GOOD TOO. HOPEFULLY I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER ON THIS WEBSITE. I DO ALSO HAVE RE-OCCURING URINE INFECTIONS. THE DOCTOR SAYS ITS BECAUSE MY SUGAR IS TOO HIGH. DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS SAME SITUATION BEING DIABETIC? HELP!! ANY OTHER NATURAL PILLS I CAN TAKE TO HELP WITH THIS? SOMEONE TOLD ME ALOE VERA PILLS.

for everyone that is confused about what to eat - at the top of the page is a square "What to Eat" click on it and just click on "NEXT" to go to another page. There is your list of foods and helpful information. This magazine is great!

Anyone who says they can keep their sugars under control I want to see them in heaven.My sugar this morning was 116--- after I ate a bowl of raisin bran it went to 220.I have not found my doctor's quantity of insulin sufficient either (Novalog 70/30).Same lately in hosp. on a salt free/diabetic diet.Anyone on insulin should be able to tell when their sugar is out of control by sweating & hot flashes.I am 77 & diabetic 2 since 1980.I've been on insulin app. 3 yrs. now plus a drug.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your website and magazine. I am a type ii for about 8 months now and have learned more from you than any 'classes' or support groups. I thought I would never eat potatoes or pasta or dessert again and you have shown me how to still enjoy eating, lower my A1c AND lose weight! Also, love that your recipes are ONLY one page for easily manageability. Again thanks for the excellent job. hmrlvr

T-Tapp Carb busting (diabetic) hoedown lowers blood sugars real quick. Worked for me 160 to 112. I'm still trying to figure this all out but I ate a few things that send me high and it didn't happen.

exercise and diet. NO SWEETS.

If you have an ipod touch there is an application called track 3 that you can download for 6 dollars and it keeps track of your carbs and calorie and fat intake all you do is type in what you have eaten. Also keeps track of your medication, and exercise. You can also down load and print off the info so you can take it with you to your doctor. This has helped me greatly. My blood sugars have greatly improved. Hope this helps

How many carbs aday should i have for a 1600 cal diet a day? I am new type 2 diabetic. I am 51 years old.

I guess that it's easier to give advice to others, instead of listening to ourselves. GIGY67 to get that number down YOU NEED TO EXERCISE and EAT RIGHT. I know because six months ago mine was 6.2 down from 8.3 and I did a 3 month stint of eating right and exercising...well, fell off the wagon, it went to 8.0...so, back to exercising and eating right. Hope this helps

I am 18yrs old about 1 1/2yrs ago, i got very sick in ICU for days and i was told that i had type 1 diabetes and my last A1C level was 9.6 can someone give me some tips to lower that??
