Diabetic

I AM A NEWLY DIAGNOSED DIABETIC. I HAVE FOUND A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ON HEAR SO FAR. I JUST JOINED TODAY. I AM ONLY 24 AND SOME DAYS I JUST STRUGGLE SO MUCH TRYING TO EAT HEALTHY AND WATCH MY PORTION SIZES. I THOUGHT BOUT TRYING SOME DIET HELPERS THEY HAVE LIKE ALLI, OR NUTRI SYSTEM. I AM NERVOUS THAT THEY MAY MAKE MY BLOOD SUGARS DROP ,AND WHAT ONES ARE SAFE AND ARE NOT SAFE.

NOT SURE WEATHER I SHOULD GET A DR THAT SPEICALIZES IN DIABETES OR JUST AN FAMILY PRACTICE DR. WILL DO ME GOOD FOR NOW. I AM STILL LEARNING PORTION CONTROL, AND WHATS HEALTHY FOR A DIABETIC AND NOT HEALTHY.

I AM THE ONLY ONE IN MY FAMILY THAT IS DIABETIC. I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT ARE MY DAUGHTERS CHANCES OF BEING DIABETIC ALSO.

HOWEVER I AM PROUD THAT WHEN I WENT TO THE DRS. OFFICE I DID LOSE 10 POUNDS !!!!! YAY IM PROUD OF  MYSELF. I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT...

Hi some people gave me great recipe iddeas on my Blog , my husband is a diabetic but his dr told him not to do any of those pills for dieting. they told him  to just exercise and he might be able to even control it better  with eating right and exercise. Congrats on the weightloss. thats a big step !!!

Hello

I have dealt with diabetics for 32 yrs. My oldest son became a diabetic at the age of 4 (type1) and my hubby became one in the yr of 2000. My advise is to go and get a dietian they way you will know the proper meal sizes .With all the other diets out there u could be not eating the proper amounts of fruits and veggies daily. You not eating right could do damage to your heart, kidneys ect .. Please take my advise and see a dietian.

Hello - I am new to this.... I am trying to prevent from getting diabetes due to being overweight before my husband and I start a family.... - I am active in weight watchers and go to the gym.  Is your diabetes due to weight??  If so then you may be able to get rid of it through diet and exercise.  I think weight watchers is very helpful because they teach you about portion sizes and how to get right and it becomes a lifestyle change not just a "diet".  Good luck to you and CONGRATS on the weight loss.... I know how hard it is b/c I am trying to do that myself and even though I have an incentive (wanting to get pregnant) it just doesnt come off the way I want it to!! ~~ Thanks - Cory
