All about Diabetis

[Cheesecak3]

I am trying natural way and so far naglower naman sugar ko. I continue my diet and exercise and so far ok naman.

^^Losing weight  thru diet and exercise is one of the proven and effective ways of controlling blood sugars. Try not to be misled by just relying on your fasting blood sugar leve. The hbaic is more reliable in determining whether your diabetes is controlled or not.  The lower the hbaic level, the lesser risk for diabetes related complications.

Hi! I have type 2 Diabetes too. I'm currently managing it with Metformin and diet. I have been on the Paleo-diet for 30 days and so far, my blood sugar control has been easy.

My doctor has recommended the standard ADA diet for me but it has been difficult to maintain my sugar until now. So I'm giving the paleo diet a try.

Btw, I'm new to female network so I'm happy to find that there's a group for diabetics here too.

I was taking metformin too, but I stopped it kasi parang hindi hiyang sa akin. Less carbs na lang ako and no more coffee and since then nag lower na blood sugar ko although minsan tumataas but not more than 200.

Importante din talaga ang exercise and lose some weight. When I lose 20lbs don, nakatulong din.

I am now maintaining my diet and exercise kasi ayoko ng bumalik sa dati ang blood sugar na sobrang taas.

Wag masyadong deadmahin ang diabetes. My mom is experiencing complications na ng diabetes nya.. matigas rin kasi ang ulo nya.. minsan hindi pa rin nya maiwasan yung mga sweets.. now she's suffering liver cirrhosis naman.. mostly tinatamaan ng may cirrhosis yung mga alcoholic pero sya kasi isa na sya sa mga naging complications ng sakit nya and honestly pahirapan talaga yung sakit na yun.

Advise ko lang, Control your sugar in-take. Eat healthy foods. Be a Good Patient!

Cheesecak3, sis paano ka na diagnosed na may diabetes?


palagi akong nagpapa Hba1c at FBS, kasi nasa lahi namin, palaging normal, until last week, nasobrahan ata ako last christmas ng sweets, ang HBa1c ko eh 6.5.

May diabetes na ata ako, since yung mga symptoms nararamdaman ko na din. Pero pupunta pa lang kasi ako sa doctor, sana naman, pre diabetes pa lang, para makapag bagong buhay pa ako.

Right now, sinimulan ko na rin ang diet at exercise.

sa exercise, everday ba kayo mga sis? ako kasi 3 times aweek lang kaya ko, pwede na kaya yun?

Kumakain pa din ako ng kanin, 1 cup a meal, iniwasan ko na lang anything sweets. Sana naman may pag asa pa ako. Oh well.

[Cheesecak3]

^ I had gestational diabetes kasi tapos hindi na nawala after gaving birth. So far hindi pa rin ganon ka normal ang blood sugar but mas mababa na to compared nong una. I make a point to exercise 30 minutes a day.

[SnowBall]

^ thank you sis.

Kakukuha ko lang ng FBS result ko, normal naman. Yung Hba1c ko ang 6.5, na abnormal, sabi ni doc, borderline pa lang daw yun.

Babalik pa lang ako sa doc mamaya, and sana nga ma delay pa ang onset ng diabetes sa akin, since I know, sooner or later, kung hindi ko babaguhin ang lifestyle ko, magkaka diabetes ako, since nasa lahi din namin.


Twice na akong nagkakaroon ng abnormal HBa1c, nung dalaga ako, tapos ngayon.

Pero FBS, normal palagi ako. Hmmmm..ano kaya yun?

Try half cup of rice lang sa meal mo. And after you eat, do  thirty minutes of walking. Yung aunt ko na sinamahan ko when she had this 'rehabilitation,' she was told to reduce her white rice to half cup, brisk walking after meals, avoid grapes and banana. Parang mataas yata sugar ng mga prutas na ito. Yan lang ang natatandaan ko hehe.

Regular na ulet sugar niya.And hindi na sya nagtitake ng pills nya.

^ thank you sis, and sorry for your loss.

I'm just so happy there's a thread about diabetes here. Before, I always joke about eating lots of sweets  and being diabetic. Sabi ko, bakit ako titigil na kumain ng sweets, e alam ko namang eventually magkaka-diabetes din ako (kasi may history ang family ko ng diabetes). But now that I'm experiencing the symptoms... ang hirap pala.

I still don't know if I'm diabetic already, but with what I've been experiencing recently... mukha ngang meron na. Palpitations and difficulty in breathing for around 5 consecutive weeks from Dec to January (I thought, these were caused by my asthma attacks), recently sobrang umiikot ang paligid ko at lagi akong nahihilo at medyo nasusuka, plus skin infections. Diabetes na nga ba 'to?

Ano bang mga symptoms sa inyo, girls? Thank you!

My dad and i are bith diabetic as well. Pero we are taking essentials and coquinone to cure it. So far it's gonna be a month already since we started taking these. Nung nagpacheck up kami, my improvements masaya naman kami about it since wala kaming binago sa food intake namin. Just took those vitamins, it was very helpful!

My dad is Diabetic. Sobrang dami na niyang gamot na iniinom plus may insulin narin siya. Sobrang dami naring complications nitong Diabetes sa kanya. He's currently at the hospital right now kasi yung sugat niya hindi na gumagaling and umakyat na daw yung infection. Buti nalang at naagapan. But my dad still needs to undergo another laboratory test to check his Crea, blood,sugar,etc. Hope he gets well soon...
