A question asked by heath_merk: For type 1 diabetes: how can I lower my blood sugar?
Hi I’m 14 years old and have had type 1 diabetes since I was 18 months old. My blood sugar has recently been going sky- high due to hormones. My mom isn’t very happy with me and thinks it’s my fault and if I don’t get it lower, I can’t go on my long awaited trip. I know cinnamon helps but are there any other foods? Any tips? Thank you for your help!

Answer by I’m so sweet I need insulin Why don’t you consult your endochrinologist? Most likely they will raise your insulin, probably your basal.. they might even raise your I:C and ISF ratios… Most people have higher insulin needs during their teen years, ask any T1.
And it is not your fault! The only way it would ever be your fault for high BGs is if you were to eat without bolusing or stop taking insulin. Type 1 Diabetes is a disease that you can treat, but never control..
Also, you should check out the web site www.childrenwithdiabetes.com.. Go to the forums… It’s a great online community and wonderful support system for people with and parents of kids with diabetes. There’s even a Teen forum, with a lot of us teens on there! If you do decide to join, I’m Diet Dr. Pepper on there…
Well, hope I helped, at least a little bit!
Good Luck!

A diabetic diet can help stabilize your blood sugar level in your body and if a diabetic does not keep their blood sugar in check, it can result in a lot of medical problems. When a person eats food that contains sugar and carbohydrates, their pancreas starts producing insulin which will carry the sugar into their cells for energy. Without this insulin, the sugar builds up in our system and can cause many unwanted health problems. Once the sugar is built up in your system for a long period of time, health problems can arise. The sugar will start by destroying your blood vessels. It will soon move on to much bigger organs and can cause you to develop heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and vision problems. So in order to prevent this from happening and to help keep your body healthy, you need to find out how to effectively lower your blood sugar level.

This is a great video on the subject of type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes visualization of a low blood sugar coma. Whatever diabetes type, you can get low blood sugar at night and you wake up and everything is a blur and confusing. I based this on my own experiences of low blood sugar. When I get really low all lights start to get halos and things no longer make sense. It’s like those mornings where you are still half asleep but in this instance the adrenaline is blaring telling you that if you want to die all you have to do is nothing. I would recommend for all type one diabetics or users of insulin and insulin raising drugs to keep glucose tabs next to your bedside. I have mine there a long with a year old sugar soda I haven’t used yet. I won third place in the sight category for this video.

I came across this video about diabetes diet the other day and thought that you might find it interesting.
Maintaining a normal sugar level in your body is the main goal for every diabetic. If they let their sugar level get too high by eating some cheat sweet foods over a long time without trying to get it back to a normal level, major health problems can and will appear with their eyes, heart, nerves, and kidneys. So once a diabetic finds himself/herself in this position of having too sugar in his/her blood, he/she needs to find some natural ways to bring it back down. As I stated in my previous article, there are some great and natural ways for a diabetic to lower their blood sugar level. These methods were drinking water, cinnamon, exercising, ginseng, and apple cider vinegar. Now here are 5 further natural approaches you can incorporate into your daily meals to help you lower your blood sugar. To Learn More About Diabetic Diets, Visit: www.diabeticdietsreview.com
Question posed by Jayden: Is type 2 diabetes a lack of blood sugar?
If it is, why are there medications used for type 2 diabetes to LOWER blood sugar?
My chosen answer:
Answer by malica Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes results in high blood sugar. Type 1 is the body’s inability to make insulin. Type 2 is when they make insulin but their body is resistant to it and doesn’t use it properly. Both result in high blood sugar.
Low blood sugar conditions are known as hypoglycemia.

Take a look at one aspect of type 2 diabetes through the eyes of this video maker.
Recommendations You can stabilize blood sugar levels and optimize your long-term health by: 1) Reversing Damage – Years of high Glycemic food consumption and continual release of Insulin into the bloodstream have caused damage your body and some degree of Insulin Resistance to take hold. To help reverse this, AyurGold releases hundreds of phytonutrients that act at the molecular level to stimulate endocrine cells found in the pancreas, incite the Islets of Langerhans to generate key enzymes responsible for regulating blood sugar in the body, increase glucose utilization, improve glucose metabolism, inhibit glucose output from the liver, reverse abnormal lipid profiles seen in people with high blood sugar, and help increase blood circulation to restore natural balance and harmony to your body. 2) Regularly Drink Water – Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration and help liberate fat stores to be burned as energy. 3) Eat 5 to 6 Small Meals Daily – Spreading food intake improves nutrient absorption, minimizes blood sugar fluctuations, and decreases fat-storing hormones and enzymes. 4) Carbohydrates – Consume low to moderate GI (Glycemic Index) carbohydrates at all times. All low GI diets are based on the same principle of balancing blood sugar. The foods which are restricted on low GI diets are those which cause your blood sugar and insulin levels to rise fast and high such as desserts and refined sugars. This results in more food being converted … Video Rating: 4 / 5
Question by Bob: Does a high sugar diet really lead to diabetes?
Does eating a lot of sugar make your body resistant to its own insulin? I would think that based on the “use it or lose it” motto that you would want to eat a lot of sugar to avoid diabetes. I’m referring to diabetes mellitus.
I’m thinking that if you cut sugar out of your diet then your islets of langerhan will begin to atrophy due to lack of use which would result in diabetes.
So eating more sugar would be a better way to avoid diabetes. Am I right?

Answer by Award Winner Ummm… lol… NO
Read the book SUGARBUSTERS
When you think about “sugar” do not just think about the crystalized white stuff. “Sugar” is in bread, fruits, vegetables, just about everything. We as a society eat enough sugar naturally that we don’t need all of the sweets and candies.
There’s a cool graph in the book that shows that before the widespread use of “refined sugars”, diabetes was found in less than 1% of our society. Sugar (also in carbohydrates) makes people fat and sickly. It stimulates the pancreas into creating insulin. Read up.
