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

Comment on How the body regulates blood sugar by Diana Roehl

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.

I am kinda desperate but don’t know what else to do but start begging.

Comment on Is there a cure for diabetes? by Shirley-Anne Parsons

Re: Matt Traverso’s book “How to Reverse Diabetes Now”. I just can’t buy into his ‘theory’ that a Ph controlled raw food diet is what cures diabetes. Yes, I can see that Type 2 diabetics can be helped with weight loss and the subsequent reduction in insulin/pills but Type 1′s??? I emailed Matt with this question and he responded that Type 1 diabetes is 100% reversable. This, to me, seems like taking advantage of people who are already struggling with a life-long condition and financially gaining from their misery. If the ‘cure’ is natural, why does he need to make money off of revealing it? He could be a hero and go down in history as the man who discovered the cure for diabetes, instead he’s rather sell it.

Comment on How does insulin work? by Nick D

Rhama Lee… First and foremost, in order to answer that question you have to know which type of diabetes you have. In general if you are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes because of being obese or overweight, exercise, watching what you eat ( bye bye to simple carbs and hello to complex carbs) , and losing weight can all improve your glucose control. Losing weight has a number of benefits for a diabetic. The leaner you are, the higher your insulin sensitivity (you need less insulin). This means you are losing fat though and not losing muscle. Be sure to be eating the right foods in order to do this. Again, watching the diet will help you here. In short, yes it will help your control. If you lose enough weight you can possibly, but not guaranteed, reverse the diabetes all together if you are Type II. However, if you are Type I, you a out of luck (as in my case). No matter how much exercise or dieting or weight loss you achieve, there is no easy fix, the disease will always remain. Although all of the above does SIGNIFICANTLY improve glucose control. I have been diabetic for over 15 years and monitor my stuff like its my job, because quite frankly it is. With exercise and good dieting I maintain a HA1C under 6.0 consistently. My last H1AC was a 5.3. If you don’t know what the H1AC is and you are diabetic you should ask your doctor to test your H1AC, it is a test for proteins in your blood that gives a 90 day average of your glucose levels. Anything above 5.5 is considered in the diabetic range, although in my case being 5.3 I am still sadly diabetic, just in the non-diabetic range. a 5.5 is an average of ~ 100. The diabetic association recommends an H1AC of under 7.0 or 7.5 I forget to delay the onset of the long-term side effects of diabetes. Kidney disease(dialysis possibly), heart problems, if you are a male erectile dysfunction, nerve damage, vision loss. To name a few! So Rhama, take care of yourself because trust me you don’t want to deal with any one of these problems in life if they are preventable.
