Hi,
I have type II diabetes. My A1C is 6.9. The doctor said that if it goes to 7, I have to take some form of Metformin. I took half of one of these pills one night and the next morning I felt as if I had been kicked in the liver. I was in a lot of pain. Not cramps, diarrhea, but like I had been in some kind of fight or car accident. This feeling was with me all day. I was scared. The doctor said I should ignore that, it would go away, etc. But I was sure it was a very bad sign and I didn't want to continue.
I have read a lot on this forum, or at least as much as time permits. I also happen to think that candida may play a role in my situation.
Part of my problem is that I have a lot of stress now and often make poor food choices based on whatever I can grab between whatever I'm doing. I have to address that, and I have started doing so.
My other big problem is where to start? My doctor has given me an untenable diet that I don't agree with and can't follow. She has a lot of sensible advice, but has told me that it will probably be impossible to reverse this condition and I should just resign myself to take these pills for the rest of my life. I have heard so many stories about how this can be fought or at least controlled with diet, weight loss and exercise. She doesn't seem to think so. But I know that I have a lot of weight to lose and a lot of improvements to make. Also, I can't see how I would have a lot of life left if I had to take those pills forever. So the bottom line is that I can't get good advice from her.
Next problem is that I am a complete carb addict. Sugar is manageable, but carbs are not manageable for me. I am a New Yorker and when I was a baby, my mom would take plain bagels and let them get very hard and then give them to me to teethe on. So it's no exaggeration that I cut my teeth on bagels! I need someone to give me a strategy for going off carbs.
Any help I have been able to figure out for myself has come frome eating and then checking my blood sugar, and understanding what I can eat, and how much, but the doctor discouraged me from taking my blood Sugar more than once a day. That doesn't make sense, either. What's wrong with my method? I find it to be quite informative and of practical use.
There is so much good advice out there but I need help operationalizing it and making it into small enough pieces so that I can work my way into it. I am planning on giving up my job in about six weeks, as my husband and I will be moving and I will be able to survive on less, maybe I will get a part time job after we move. My husband is in agreement that I have to take care of myself and solve this problem, and he also knows that his health is going down because neither of us has time to shop and cook properly.
It's hard to talk to people about these things because they are brainwashed, and I think that my husband and I are healthier than most people, so if you try to discuss it with people, they practically laugh. They also can't understand why someone would not just take a pill.
So the bottom line is, I need advice as to where to start, what to eliminate and in what order, and how to get off carbs, especially wheat and gluten.
Thanks,
Cyclo

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,017,284The reason everyone craves carbs is that's what our bodies want for fuel; sugar. Carbs are converted into glucose (sugar) and glucose fuels every single cell in our bodies.
If someone feels they already eat a ton of carbs, but still craves carbs or Sugar and, as in your case, is also hyperglycemic, it's because they are EATING TOO MUCH FAT and that excess fat is blocking the body's ability to absorb enough glucose into the cells, so the body will keep craving carbs/sugar until it gets enough glucose into the cells every day and all that excess Sugar in the blood has to be dealt with and your body's backup of plan for dealing with excess Sugar is candida eating it away.

This is a reply to # 2,017,284Cyclo,
While your dr is well meaning she knows virtually nothing about diet and exercise.
First please read a very important book, DR. BERNSTEIN'S
DIABETES SOLUTION.
Second, try walking 2x/day. Start slow, 10 minutes per session and move up to at least 1/2 hour or more. Walking twice a day increases your metabolism better than just one longer session.
Next, try eliminating things from your diet one at a time. First anything with added Sugar (read labels). Then you can move on to reducing carbs like bread etc. and then fried foods and other junk items.
Prepare in advance. It takes a lot of work but work together with your husband and you will see results.
My DH was raised on Hispanic foods for most of his life. He has managed to completely turn around his diet. He is in his 70's but enjoys bs in the 85-105 range on a daily basis. His dr still wants to give him Metformin. He refuses, says there is no reason.
If you make your health your #1 priority you will find the time and wherewith-all to do what you need to do to get your numbers down.
Hang in there, don't give up and don't give in. Here is a great article explaining how and why diabetic medication eventually fails http://www.wellnessresources.com/tips/articles/insulin_leptin_and_blood_sugar...

This is a reply to # 2,017,284Here's how I handle type 2 diabetes (and I'm not on meds).
My husband and I switched to a mostly vegan diet which we follow roughly 5 days a week. 2 days a week, I usually aim to eat some fish for my main meal.
We're on the treadmill 3 days a week for just over 30 minutes at a time. Each session comes out to a 1 1/4 mile walk.
We take vitamin D-3 everyday. The proper dosage is 1000 i.u per 25 lbs. of body weight. In other words, someone weighing 100 lbs. would take 4000 i.u. per day.
We also take 3 cinnamon caplets per day plus some Chromium GTF. For blood Sugar control 400 mgs. of gymnema sylvestre twice a day. For metabolizing of carbs, prickly pear cactus. Swanson Vitamins has prickly pear cactus capsules and per the label, we take 2 capsules twice a day. Take the gymnema sylvestre and prickly pear cactus 1/2 hour before eating. Recently, we added green coffee bean extract and raspberry ketones to help with weight loss.
This regimen has helped us a lot. However, I would like to add --- if you are taking any prescription meds, be sure to go to a website that shows drug interactions and enter everything you are taking, along with any supplements. It's important to do this before starting any regimen.
I've lost weight (although now I've plateaued) and have kept my A1C well below 7.0
A vegan diet does not have to be boring or hard to follow. Many supermarkets are now carrying a good selection of vegan foods. Also, Whole Foods has an extensive selection. Be sure to read labels when shopping as sometimes things that seem to be vegan are actually vegetarian. If you like milk, try soy milk, rice milk or almond milk. You can have the occasional sweet as long as it is vegan and you don't go overboard. I once read an article by Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld where he said that it isn't the sweets per se that give diabetics a problem but it is the amount of calories consumed.
I understand that you are pressed for time when it comes to preparing meals. Again, there are many pre-made vegan items that don't take long to prepare. Fresh vegetables are ideal but frozen is fine. The steam-in-the-bag varieties that don't have any sauces are easy to pop into the microwave. Gardein makes a large range of fake meat products that you either heat in the oven or saute for a few minutes.
If you like to go out to eat, these days many restaurants offer up choices for vegans/vegetarians. Also, there are restaurants around that only do vegan/vegetarian food. Chinese and Thai places are always good when it comes to good vegan selections.
If you can go full-time vegan and be happy, then go for it. We tried it for a month. While we lost weight, we admitted that we missed having some non-vegan foods from time to time so we modified our diet to be a mostly vegan one. I found that by doing so, I could still keep my A1C in check.
Good luck with things. With a little experimentation when it comes to finding the right diet and the right herb/supplement combination plus some exercise, you should be able to make good progress.- Re: Need diet advice natway

This is a reply to # 2,017,440Make sure you're low fat vegan for it's the fat that's the true cause of diabetes and a lot of vegans mistakenly eat high amounts of fats to try to get enough calories per day.
I agree that it's not very hard being or nearly being vegan these days. ;)- Re: Need diet advice BlueRose

This is a reply to # 2,017,500I want to thank all of you for your thoughtful replies.
I spent a lot of time yesterday, reading and watching as many/much of those videos as I could. I also read some other forums to find out more about what you were all talking about.
A lot of things have become clearer to me, and I got some new information, especially regarding what supplements/herbs are good to take. I can also see that I must transition towards a diet which is mostly plant based. I learned that I am certainly ingesting too much animal protein.
I have a question. I do understand about the connection between fat intake, especially animal fats.
However, many people advocate the use of certain fats, especially omega 3's and coconut oil. They seem to have anti-inflammatory, and even healing powers. What do you think about this? Isn't it necessary to have some fat intake? I am not challenging you, I just want to understand. I'm confused on this point.
I also understand that my biggest challenge right now is getting off refined carbs, i.e, bread and such. Can you give me some tips as to how to do this, and how to weather the withdrawals? Or point me to a forum that would address that.
Thanks once again for all your advice!

This is a reply to # 2,017,668I should have added in my post that my husband and I take coconut oil capsules everyday. In my case, I add 2 TBSPS. flaked coconut to my morning oatmeal---mainly because it helps with my IBS-D. In the evening, I take a coconut oil capsule. My husband takes 2 capsules a day. Here is a link that explains how coconut oil is helpful for those with type 2 diabetes:
http://coconutoil.com/diabetes/
Some oil in the diet is necessary. There are good oils and bad oils. Good oils are beneficial.
As for carbs --- this is my personal take and experience --- We still have some carbs everyday. That's why taking prickly pear cactus capsules is helpful when it comes to lowering blood sugar:
http://www.rxlist.com/prickly_pear_cactus/supplements.htm
It's also good for metabolizing carbs:
http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-premium-prickly-pear-cactus-opuntia-65...
All that said, while we do have carbs on a daily basis, we don't overdo it either. As for how to deal with carb cravings? Once in a while, I do crave carbs. When that happens, I will have a small amount and remind myself not to overdo it. Some carbs in the diet is a good thing but like anything else, moderation is the key.
Good for you for taking the time to do such thorough research! I know that you will find the diet that works best for you.

If you are a pre-diabetic - carbs will kill you, literally. It's a matter of managing your carbs or dying young - it's that serious. An a1c of 6.9 is not good and your doctor is right.
I've been Type II for about ten years. My diabetes clinic's guidelines are no more than fifteen carbohydrates per meal. It's difficult to maintain, but I stick with it most of the time and I've never had to take meds. In fact, my last a1c was 5.5 - which is within the normal range.
I even try to use Dr. Bernstein's diet of three carbohydrates per meal and have been able to do that for weeks at a time. Bernstein is a Type I diabetic who is now in his 70s and has lived that long because of his dedication to his diet which is outlined in his book "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution: The Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars." You can find the book and reviews at this site:
http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Bernsteins-Diabetes-Solution-Achieving/dp/0316182699...
There are two things that I've found that help me control my blood sugar besides the strict diet and that is a product called Cunsulin, and massive amounts of fish oil. I take 2,000 mg of fish oil per day. Not flax oil which has Omega 6 that is bad for you but fish oil which doesn't have Omega 6 - only Omega 3.
Also - just for your own information, get a glucose blood test monitor and test two hours after eating from time to time. These monitors and test strips are very inexpensive and you will be able to see for yourself whether or not you are eating healthy.

This is a reply to # 2,017,835
Fat causing Type II is utter bull shit.
I test quite often. I know what raises my blood sugar. Two slices of bread raises it to 240 which is more than ice cream which takes it to 160. White potatoes, rice - white or brown, takes my blood sugar to 360. Bacon or eggs cooked in loads of butter (ummh) raises my blood sugar to 85 after two hours. By controlling my diet I control my Type II.
You mentioned in your OP that you don't feel any different. That's true. That's why 50% of all diabetics have not been diagnosed.
Why do I still have Type II after 10 years? Because it is irreversible and anyone who says that it is, is a liar and is probably out to get you to spend some money for their charlatan cures.
The thing about Type II is that it's completely in your hands. The doctor can advise you what to do, but it's all up to you as an individual. You can control your a1c - if your want to, but it's up to you.

I recommend that you read the book "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution: The Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars" that was listed earlier. Bernstein was an engineer who couldn't even in those days purchase a blood sugar monitor and had to get one from his wife who was a doctor. Then after tracking his blood sugar for months and determining what causes blood sugar elevation he took it to the medical community who didn't pay any attention to him. Finally at age 43 he entered medical school and became a physician where they finally began to listen. His diet includes unlimited amounts of fat. He and he alone is the reason that anyone can test their own blood sugar at home. This is exactly what my clinic in Seattle has found and what they practice and they have been researching diabetes since 1923.
Like so many charlatans your link is selling their untested and never reviewed by science, complete bull shit regarding diabetes and is not only dangerous but death to the diabetic user who goes that direction.
Where is their science reviewed and tested diabetic free users?
Anyone who doesn't get a blood sugar testing meter to check their own blood sugar on a regular basis is denying the causes of their diabetes. I have gone the route that your link is going and going raw and juicing in particular is suicide for diabetics.
How has that link done for your diabetes? Or is it that you don't have diabetes but you know how everyone else should live?

Low-calorie diet reverses disorder in just four months, say scientists
29 November 2011
Type 2 diabetes could be reversed in just four months by simply following a low-calorie diet, a study has revealed.
According to the research, people who reduced their calorific intake in their daily diet experienced a far greater improvement in the condition - and their health in general - than any medication offered.
...
The Diabetes UK charity warned that the NHS is now spending almost a a tenth of its budget - £9billion - every year treating patients.
Some 90 per cent of sufferers have type 2 diabetes, the form which can be caused by being overweight or obese.
Scientists believe excess fat upsets the working of insulin – a key hormone which delivers Sugar to cells – and this can lead to type 2 diabetes.

That link suggests that to be true from a singular, non reviewed "test." There is no other recognized research comes to that conclusion. Also, what you didn't note is that the unreviewed study indicates that a low calorie diet resulting in weight loss may reduce diabetes symptoms. It has no conclusions and has not been reviewed
First you post a BS link that is selling their "diet" plan for diabetes. If it's so great why are the selling things? Are you diabetic? Who do you know personally who has benefited from either of these approaches?

This is a reply to # 2,017,939
I've been researching/looking for a diabetes diet for more than ten years because I have Type II diabetes. My Virginia Mason diabetes clinic is internationally recognized as one of the top diabetic clinics in the United States. I was initially taught by them to follow a low carb diet and by following their 15 carbohydrate per meal recommendations I have been able to control my diabetes for all those ten years without medication of any kind! All their patients are given this same diet and I have watched their blood sugar levels make dramatic drops and have also watched them lose a great deal of weight in the process.
You HAVE NOT presented any legitimate diabetic information. McDougal claims to 'cure' diabetes but having followed his diet along with my wife for support for an entire year I found it to exacerbate my pre-diabetic conditions. You then suggest raw foods and juicing which I also tried for a while which gave me horrible blood sugar values and is of not benefit at all. And you call me "closed minded?" My recommendations come with years and years of personal experience.
I've done everything that you have suggested and all it has brought me is a much worse form of diabetes. You have presented nothing, absolutely nothing to even suggest that your ideas even work. You have never responded to the question as to whether on not you are diabetic so I can only assume that you aren't because you have presented nothing that works for you. You are just like many others who think that they have "valuable information" who go out and tell everyone else what to do when you've never ever experienced your suggestions your self.
You made no comments on my blood tests which by any standards are fantastic for anyone, let alone an 81 year old diabetic.
Here's just a little information on low carb diets and the top two aren't really very low carb.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/401698-low-carb-diets-for-type-2-diabetes/
Low-Carb Diets and Your Blood Sugar Levels
Type 2 diabetes can be explained as a carbohydrate intolerance. Your body is not able to deal with the carbohydrates you eat, which result in high blood sugar levels that can eventually lead to health complications in the long-term. Lowering your carb intake can help your blood sugar levels stay within the recommended parameters. A study investigated the effect of a low-carb diet, providing less than 20 g of carbohydrates a day, for 16 weeks in participants with type 2 diabetes. This low-carb diet helped type 2 diabetics reduce their A1C levels, which corresponds to the average blood sugar levels over the last 3 months, from 7.5 percent down to 6.3 percent, as published in December 2005 in "Nutrition & Metabolism." The American Diabetes Association recommends that people with diabetes keep their A1C below 7 percent.
Low-Carb Diet and Your Health
In the study published in "Nutrition & Metabolism" in December 2005, type 2 diabetics following a low-carb diet for 16 weeks lost a significant amount of weight, from an average of 289.7 lbs. down to 270.5 lbs., which corresponds to 6.6 percent of their initial body weight. In addition to helping you lose weight, eating low-carb could also help you optimize your blood lipid profile. In this same study, their triglycerides decreased by 42 percent, from a baseline level of 236.0 mg/dL down to 137.7 mg/dL.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/370258-low-carbohydrate-diet-for-diabetic-t...
Low Carbohydrate Diet for Diabetic Type 2 Patients
Type 2 diabetes can be defined as a disease of carbohydrate intolerance, according to the Metabolism Society, and this is why eating carbohydrates result in harmfully high blood sugar levels. However, the American Diabetes Association still recommends that people with diabetes get between 45 and 60 g of carbohydrate at each meal and 15 to 30 g of carbohydrate for a snack, which corresponds to about 45 percent to 65 percent of their daily calorie intake. Many people with type 2 diabetes decide to try the low-carb approach instead and find their blood sugar levels significantly improved as a result.
Glycemic Control
Since type 2 diabetes is characterized by a carbohydrate intolerance, it appears logical that lowering your carbohydrate intake will help your blood sugar levels stay within the desirable range. A 16-week study showed that a group of 28 overweight patients with type 2 diabetes following a low-carb diet, which provided less than 20 g of carbohydrates a day, reduced their hemoglobin A1C by 16 percent, from a baseline level of 7.5 percent down to 6.3 percent at the end of the study, as reported in December 2005 of "Nutrition & Metabolism." Hemoglobin A1C reflects your average blood sugar levels over a 3-month period and a value below 7.0 percent is desirable. Another longer term study showed that type 2 diabetics eating a low-carb diet that provided about 80 to 90 g of carbohydrates a day, were able to bring their A1C from a baseline level of 8.0 percent down to 6.9 percent after a year, according to the results published in May 2008 of "Nutrition & Metabolism." A long-term follow-up done with the same participants showed that following the low-carb diet had helped them to keep their A1C within target, with an A1C value of 6.8 percent at 44 months.
Weight Loss and Maintenance
The other beneficial side effect of following a low-carb diet to improve your diabetes control is weight loss, and especially fat loss. The long-term 44-month follow-up study published in May 2008 in "Nutrition & Metabolism" showed that following a low-carb diet, with an intake of 80 to 90 g of carbohydrates a day, helped participants drop a significant amount of weight. Their weight loss averaged 16.6 lb., from a baseline body weight of 221.8 lb. down to 205.2 lb. Participants lost most of their excess weight in the first six months, but were later able to maintain their weight at a lower point even after 44 months.
By the way, if you research The American Diabetes Association diabetes diet you will find that it gives you diabetes.

Bernstein's Diabetes Diet : Overview
By Laura Dolson, About.com Guide
Updated February 18, 2008
Introduction:
Dr. Bernstein is a physician with Type I diabetes. This means that since he was 12, his body has made essentially no insulin. For a long time, he assumed that he would have to live with the complications of diabetes he saw in so many diabetics. But eventually he developed a system of diabetes management which enabled him to closely manage his blood sugar and reverse his many complications of diabetes. That was in 1969, and he is still healthy today, and advising diabetics how to live long healthy lives.Is Bernstein's approach for diabetics only?:
No. Dr. Bernstein has found that his system could help people who aren't diabetic lose weight, improve health, and prevent diabetes. He also believes that often what we think of as "normal" blood glucose is not - it is what I call "pre-pre diabetic". (See The Road to Diabetes) His books also contain perhaps the best information I have seen how blood glucose works, the negative effects of too much blood glucose, and how to control blood glucose. This is useful for anyone who has issues with carbs or sugar.

I know this works as it keeps me alive Cyclo.
The glycemic index (GI) is a ranking of carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100 according to the extent to which they raise blood Sugar levels after eating. Foods with a high GI are those which are rapidly digested and absorbed and result in marked fluctuations in blood Sugar levels. Low-GI foods, by virtue of their slow digestion and absorption, produce gradual rises in blood Sugar and insulin levels, and have proven benefits for health. Low GI diets have been shown to improve both glucose and lipid levels in people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2). They have benefits for weight control because they help control appetite and delay hunger. Low GI diets also reduce insulin levels and insulin resistance.

This is a reply to # 2,017,284In order to treat diabetes you must first learn why you have it and what caused it. When you eat certain foods the residues are either acid or alkaline. The colon is responsible for eliminating any excess acids. When the colon malfunctions by constipation,parasites, etc excess acids get stored in the body in the form of fat. Eating acid forming foods such as meat, milk, breads, sugars, artificial sweeteners etc also create the problem. The body also takes on water and creates cholesterol to protect the body from excess acids. All people are different and those that have a tendency to get diabetes will get it from the excess acids, while others will get cancer,heart disease,arthritis or other disease some just get diabetes. Now since you are aware of the cause you can effectively address the cure and that would be to eliminate the acids, and regain good colon health. Acid elimination can begin with alkaline foods such as greens,veggies, etc. Many diabetics are under the mistaken assumption artificial sweeteners are good them them, and that is very very wrong. Bentonite clay will also draw acids from the body.

This is a reply to # 2,017,284Candida is a direct result of poor colon function and if you have it you also have parasites and probably leaky gut. The gut needs to be healed the leaky gut needs to be healed. parasites and candida create toxins that are leaking into the body and perhaps those toxins create diabetes. There are two sources of the disease toxins and acidosis. Clean up those areas and you can cure the disease or at least manage it without the drugs that do much damage.

This is a reply to # 2,026,994Thanks to all of you for taking time to respond. I have been making some changes and doing a LOT of reading! I think that one of the ideas I can take away from all of this is that I have to continue to inform myself, see what works, ask questions, and find the solution which is livable for me...which I am hoping will NOT be drugs!
Thanks,
