Okay, I am now 27 weeks pregnant and got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. That means either insulin treatment or a radical change of my diet.
Of course I’d like to try the diet first but I have no clue what and how much I can/should eat. All I find on websites are sample meal which always [...]

www.resveratrolsupplementnews.org Resveratrol doesn’t look anything like a glass of Merlot but these pills activate the same gene as the beneficial compound found in red wine. The pill is designed to treat diabetes but researchers have zeroed in on the gene as a key to controlling aging.

NO dairy (any kind..especially milk)
NO fruit
NO fruit juices/vegetable juices
NO sugary drinks (soda)
NO diet soda/ANYTHING with artificial sweetener (was told *everything* turns to glucose in the end, which i find hard to [...]

Hi, I am responsible for obtaining food donations for a convention I’m putting together. The convention focuses on diabetes and childhood obesity. We are offering breakfast and lunch as part of the convention. I am very familiar with healthy breakfast options, but for some reason I cannot think of things that are healthy (other than [...]

From Boston – While cutting calories by 30 to 40% has been shown to increase longevity, Harvard researchers may have now found the reason why. Studying the livers of mice who had fasted for a few days, the researchers noted the activation of 2 genes, SIRT3 and SIRT4. These genes influence the mitochondria to become [...]

I’m 13 years old. I weigh 155 lbs. I would love to know of some good dieting tips, I’ve tried lots of things, and they never work. I eat healthy, but I don’t manage my diabetes very well. I know I should, but I’m a teenager, what do you expect?!

I’m bummed out but what can one do. My glucose readings were almost 300 after that nasty glucola drink, even 2 hours and 3 hours after I drank the stuff. I have a question, and I’m a nurse so I feel stupid for asking this and my diabetes class is next week, but I deal [...]
