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 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 have type 2 diabetes and I am pregnant. I need to know about pregnancy insulin requirements. Some of my friends tell me I need more insulin and other tell me I should stay the same. Is there anyone out that is pregnant or was pregnant that has/had diabetes type 2? I'm a little concerned about this and not sure what to do. My husbands tells me I'm a worry wart especially about my pregnancy but I don't think he realizes that being diabetic and and being pregnant is high-risk business.

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 finally saw a naturopathic physician and she agreed that TSH levels over 4 were not good. So, she put me on a half tab of Nature throid to start. I see her again in a week.
This is my first time on meds and I'm just wondering what I should be looking for as far as results? If they work, is it like coming out of a fog or something? How long does it take to start to notice the effects?
I've been this way for as long as I can remember, so suddenly having energy or feeling perky or something like that would be really strange for me. I'm not expecting a miracle, but I can't say I'm not hoping for one.
I also have high blood sugar, so I'm supposed to cut things like beer and sugar, etc. out of my diet. She also thinks I have a dairy allergy, so I have to cut that out for a week to see how it goes. I note that Nature throid has lactose in it though... Weird.
Anyway, I'm just looking for some advice or guidance through the process.
She's a great doc and, I have to say, that actually having someone listen to my symptoms and BELIEVE me was dang near one of the best experiences of my life. I got all choked up when I left!
Oh, and meanwhile, I still haven't even received a call from my PCP's office regarding the blood tests I took over 3 weeks ago. Nice.

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.
