Hi Diana – I’m not a doctor either. Don’t know if you’ve heard about this but you might want to look into the connection between the eating of wheat and diabetes. Google “wheat belly.”

Are any studies done on how all the pesticides,chemicals,additives,artificial flavors,artificial colors,artificial preservatives, contribute to diabetes type 2 and even type 1 ? I believe that type 1 diabetes begins with the mothers diet and the use of the above foods that we call enhance or alter by man.? Before pregnancy that is. also what we treat the drinkable water and human food .

Thank you for your response.

Nick, i have just read yo reply to Rhama and found it quite interesting. I am a type 1 diabetic, and am desperatly trying to get my hba1c down. i cant seem to get it below 10. I am aware that leval like this, my long term health is at risk.
I know carb watching and exercise is the way to go, but i already do this.

I am on insuline pump, not over weight and very active.

I have a question… I just had an insulin test to determine if I was actually producing insulin. It turns out the a normal insulin level in humans is 29, and mine was at 49. Meds are not controlling my sugar level, and the next step is insulin. My question is, if I have insulin resistance syndrome, and am producing tons of insulin that my body cannot recognise, how is giving me more insulin going to help since my body won’t recognise that either? Or will it? IF so, how? and why not my own?

I am sorry Diana, but I am not a medical doctor, so cannot advise on treatments.

After being put on an insulin pump I gained 40 lbs in 5 months. My blood sugars were always erratic but through the years it has become worse and my endocrinologist has not been able to help me gain control.
Almost every day my blood sugars drop below 70 and almost everyday they rise above 200 without any apparent reason.
I have stopped eating after 6:00 p.m. and this seems to help with my fasting blood sugars but doesn’t seem to affect what happens during the day.
I am a yoga teacher I practice yoga almost everyday. I watch my diet and am very careful with the carbohydrates that I ingest.
I would love to get off insulin altogether other than that any suggestions?

My Mother is a 90 year old diabetic. Yesterday her blood sugar level rose more than 300 points. She claims she ate nothing more than what her assisted living place gave her to eat. Besides food, is there something else that could cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate? Today her blood sugar level is 137. Please get back to me ASAP.
