Diabetes :: Blood Sugar Spikes Overnight (Type 1)
Oct 30, 2013
I have a 13 year son and he was diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes September 2010 and it has been a struggle every since. As a mother, I get so scared because I seem to cant control his sugar. Lately he has been waking up to high readings, over 300, and I'm not sure why it gets that high. We have had problems in the past when he would sneak and eat chips and candy, the stuff that he knows he shouldn't be eating but he promises that he doesn't eat after dinner and is positive that he doesn't know why his sugar is high in the mornings.

I was on diltiazem (cartia) for several years. It eventually raised my blood sugar level and I was diagnosed with diabetes 2. My blood pressure was not going down, so they took me off diltiazem 240mg, and put me on lisinopril 5mg.
The lisinopril gave me a dry cough, so I was put on losartan 25mg. I asked why not 5 mg and my NP told me because it doesn't come in 5mg....

Both my parents have type 2 diabetes. How to lower blood sugars naturally. My mum is on Insulin and recently she has been struggling to lower her sugars and has had to up her insulin. So I would love to find something natural which could work. As I worry about the potential harm that out of control blood sugars could be doing to her body.

I am wondering if anyone else going through menopause has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes that only began with the onset of menopause? I have never had an issue with BGL's until the start of menopause, now they are out of whack and Dr has diagnosed me with Type 2 diabetes. I don't agree with this diagnosis as my gut feeling is that it is all related to the menopause and hormone regulation through the liver. My question is if anyone has had this experience and did BGL's return to normal after menopause. I am not on any medication, trying the diet and exercise thing first (mostly because I am in denial about the whole thing)

My blood pressure spikes when I lay down and goes down when I stand up and move. This is opposite of what the doctors say it should do. Does anybody know what is going on or if there is anything I can do to help regulate my blood pressure.

So I am a type 1 diabetic where I take insulin injectables for my insulin needs. I have taken shots for as long as I remember, well now I am 15 years old and my mom is diabetic. I see that she takes pills for her diabetes. She says she is type 2 diabetic. I want to know why she can take pills and I have to take shots? She is on Metformin so I would like to forego the shots and take the pills.
I would like the effects of the Metformin so I know how it would help me with my diabetes. I want to start on it as soon as I can. I would be able to go places without having to take a shot all the time. I need to go to somewhere private and leave my friends when I do my shot.
With the medication I don't have to do that. Does anyone know about Metformin and can tell me about the side effects and stuff?

I just told that I have gestational diabetes and I am 26 week of pregnant. Any advice on what to eat or do in order to bring that sugar level down, I don't want to do the insulin because it sounds too scary to inject something in your abdomen while pregnant.

I just wondered if someone could give me some information on taking metformin with type 1 diabetes? I’m currently using lantus and everything seems fine with my bloods and I’ve got good control, but one of my friends is also type 1 and just started using metformin as well as her insulin. I’m just a bit confused cos I thought that was for type 2’s and wondered why she was taking it? Also, if she’s taking it, should I be? Or is it just specific people. If it means I’ve got less chance of getting other problems with my diabetes I’d take it, it’s just that no-one’s ever mentioned it me.

Any solution that can possibly reverse the diabetes. How can I prove this, I also suffered from diabetes for over 15 years with blood sugar that sometimes rose to 400,then in 2015,I discovered a natural herbal supplement which I had to mix with lime. In less than 2 months of usage I began to see significant positive changes which ultimately led to me being diabetes free.

I have found out that if I lose all my weight, excess weight, that I carry around that I can rid of type 2 diabetes. It would reverse the diabetes so that I don't have it anymore! This would be great so that when I get down to 125 i don't have to watch what I eat anymore I hope to start up a web page of my journey so that other diabetics can also stop being diabetic and live again!

I was wondering... can a non-type 2 get a hypo? My sister says she can't get a hypo. She was just diagnosed with type 1 not too long ago. She seems to think that sense she is insulin dependent that she won't have hypos since her blood sugars are always high. I think she may still have hypos at some point.
