Ok how many of us have Diabetes ?
No I'm not wearing it as a badge of honor.I am so petrified to eat in case my Blood sugar levels go up .Haven't had them go low of course when I fast they go up !!!
So anyone else suffer from this ?
How are you coping ?

Me I get confused all these health professionals telling u different things.

ahh such is life doh
so while on leave and coming to terms with my now singleness.I have been walking 45 to 60minutes a day once again .Didn't help this am my sugar went up after the walk !!!!

hi there my grand daughter , who is type 1, and only 5. my cousin is type 2, I advise you to just take a breath, and slow down a bit , when you are first told that you have it , it can be stressfull , and all that you have to understand overwhelming to, you will manage it ok just take your time to learn to understand it,
it is a great idea to keep the walking up, as it will lower, your weight, and your blood sugar , but dont, overdo it , till you are feeling better in your self.

Being stressed will raise your sugar level as well, if your not sure what to do , go back and see your doctor, as they will now how you are feeling and dealing with it , take a pen and paper with you if you have to and right down what he is telling you, and before going make a list of thing to ask him as well.

I hope some of this will help you . I am no expert but if you need to talk , you know where I am

All the best teddybear

i heard that main contributers of the disease, is the fact that people eat too much processed foods such as, fritz, hot dogs,sausages, frozen pastries, soft drinks, tin foods etc.
Not enough fresh foods such as real meat such as steak, chicken, turkey, pork. fresh vegies, fruit and herbs, fish and eggs etc.

I have read that foods such as cabbage and kidney beans have natural insulin in it.
Then there is the rule anything in moderation.

it doesnt hurt to research what your buying and eating.

gotta go

Melty part of what you have written is what my dietician told me.
She almost had a heart attack when I mentioned Sausages and I was told no to Fritz .
Meat from what I was told only a tiny tiny tiny tiny portion (thats a problem for me).She also said no way to chops .
I'm a wee bit of problem for the dietician my work day eating habits.Breakfast at 5.30 Morning tea at 9.30 lunch at 12noon dinner anywhere from 5 to 7 .
Breakfast to lunch no worries
Then I tend to over do dinner funny thing is eat very little during the day I'm fine come dinner time umm I seem to over do !!
But lately the biggest problem has been dehydration ended up in hospital on a drip for not drinking enough silly me.
But I'm managing it

Invest in some really good footwear. They have specialist shops now that can suit the shoe to the exercise you are doing. OH and dont walk on concrete or bitumen if you can help it... stay on the grass.

Ahh shell
Well its catch 22 for me Walk I do good .
Walk and end up like tonight having great difficulty straightening my knee .three knee clean outs last one was supposed to be a replacement.Never ever going under the knife for my knee ever again.
Ortho specialist didnt want me doing manual labor but no clue on what I should do except office work no skills no way .

I could swim but you can only access the local pool late at night.I hate swimming thats what I did for years as a kid .

But never fear I bought an mp3 player today to take on my walk tomorrow!!
I have to be able to walk as thats what I do for 8 hours a day walk bend lift carry push!!

Have been thinking of Zumba you never know a little way down the track I may look into either Zumba or dancing.
I know the walking and diet are working on the weight at least.
