[doc_quincy]

I don't have any of those symptoms but I know how to treat diabetes. Do you want any help?

[Cheesecak3]

I have diabetes and I stop my medication kasi hindi talaga ako hiyang. I want the natural way of controlling my blood sugar. I hope somebody here can recommend someone that can help.

[sue323]

^Sis, what do you mean when you said hindi ka hiyang? I think you should go back to your doctor, baka kailangan i adjust yung dose ng meds mo. Or maybe you could take extended release forms just like what my brother has been taking. Anong gamot mo?

[Cheesecak3]

^I am taking Metformin sis. Nong una nanibago talaga katawan ko sa Metformin pero bumalik din ako ng take kasi hindi talaga bumababa ang blood sugar ko kung walang Metformin. So far medyo ok na ako ngayon.

Type 2 Diabetes din ba ang sa brother mo?

[sue323]

^Yup Type 2 diabetes rin. He used to take metformin tab 500 mg 3 times a day, kaso ang dalas nyang may lbm. Ngayon glucophage XR mas tolerated ng tyan nya. You should let your doctor know about the side effects you have been experiencing. Kailangan talaga normal ang blood sugar levels para lesser and risk ng complications. Check mo rin yung diet mo, check the quality of carbs that you eat. Here are tips for better blood sugar control: Blood sugar control in diabetes

^thanks sis

Grabe din kasi ang effect minsan ng meds, nakakatakot na baka biglang bumaba ang BS ko. One time nasa gym ako, bigla yatang bumaba kaya ayon nahilo ako.

[sue323]

^importante talaga hindi mag skip ng meals, yung mga wala ngang diabetes mag skip lang ng breakfast pwede ng mahilo. What more kung may gamot na pang pababa ng blood sugar, talagang at risk ka sa hypoglycemia. Dapat may candy ka nala dala lagi, para mag napansin mo na nanghihina ka na at malamig ang balat, may immediate source ng sugar.

[Cheesecak3]

^oo nga sis, importante talaga na aware ako sa signs ng hypogycemia. Bago lang kasi ako nadiagnose kaya medyo nangangapa pa. Matagal na bang may diabetes ang brother mo?

[sue323]

^3 years na. He is younger than me.

[Cheesecak3]

Nag normal na rin ang BS ko after taking metformin for 2 months pero madami din sugar withdrawal syndrome. May time na marital I-deal pero tyaga lang talaga.

Nung last check up ni hubby doctor said na medyo mataas ang blood sugar nya than normal and it might lead to diabetes... He doesnt like drinking meds pa naman ang ayaw na ulit magpacheck up. Any advice para medyo maprevent na tumaas ang blood sugar nya? He drinks alcohol frequently pa naman 

[bdayboy]

Hi, a friend of mine gave his mom an all-natural supplement that he said was able to bring down his mom's sugar level to almost within acceptable level in just a few months without any signs of it going up again and didn't experience any side effects.  I plan to have my mom who is also diabetic try it as well as soon as she finishes up with her current meds.  Aside from that it also increases stamina and endurance which as it is primarily used to boost energy levels.  In case you'd like to give it a try and get details, you can pm me your number so I can give share you the information because I can't reply privately here since I'm still not allowed to send private messages

-Una, gusto ko munang mag comment sa title ng thread, it's diabetEs.... *peace*
-A change in LIFESTYLE sis would help your husband... THIS IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE...

-Meaning dapat simula sa diet at activity..

-Increase your husbands activity kung sedentary siya... Lots of exercise

-Eat less sugar

-Lower the consumption of foods with "High Glycemic Index" yung mga pagkain na biglang nag papataas ng glucose sa dugo... (ex. White bread, white rice -naks peyborit! haha! etc...)

-Eat foods which has "low glycemic index" yung mga pagkain na nagrerelease ng glucose sa blood ng dahan dahan... (ex. fruits, veggies, whole grains - generally yung mga pagakaing yucky kasi healthy, haha!)

Dun naman sa alcohol intake, it will not increase naman the blood glucose... Pero if lumala yang sa asawa mo at maing diabetes na talaga at lumala pa at magkaroon ng complications like diabetic retinopathy (eyes) dapat i avoid nya na....

Kung hypertensive pa siya, dapat din ihinto nya na yan.. Mag start na siya dapat mag taper..

last week nagpa test ako sa blood sugar ko. naisip ko lang na baka mataas sugar ko since nasa lahi ng mom ko na diabetic. anyway, yung result sa test is 137. diabetic na ba ako?

[hot_chili]

^^ thanks sis, super couch potato pa naman si hubby + mahilig sa extra rice haha. pahirapan kami nito 

[cee2]

Hi Everyone! I know a good product that is good for diabetes. Quality product po.. I know a lot of people na bumaba ang blood sugar level nila since ginamit nila [textspeak!] products

[Cheesecak3]

I decided to stop taking metformin, grabe ang effect sa akin, halos sunod sunod na akong nahilo. Kaya nong tinigilan ko na naging ok na ulit ang pakiramdam ko.

[bdayboy]

If ever any of you have considered going all-natural in controlling sugar levels, here's a link to an article discussing the results of a study made on the product that was recommended to me for my mother who has diabetes and might be useful to someone here.  http://www.naturalnews.com/008594.html.  Message me if you're interested in it, so I can give you instructions on how to get a hold of it since it's not available at pharmacies
