I am newly pre-diabetic (or diabetic, still waiting for A1C). Certainly showing elevated blood glucose levels and have a family history and other risk factors.

Reading and reading on the topic, I keep reading that you must become vegan to cure diabetes or avoid complications. The proponents of a vegan diet for a diabetes cure seem to suggest that any other approach is not as effective.

Is it really necessary to become vegan to treat/cure one's diabetes?

I'm 36 weeks along, and my doctor called and said I have gestational diabetes (it a long story, mostly my fault, as to why it took so long to be diagnosed). Anyway, she said to cut down sugars and carbs, and to try to follow a diet plan for gestational diabetes (I don't need insulin injections).... it's too far along in my pregnancy to get me to a dietician (takes about a month to get in to see one here), so if anyone has gestational diabetes, could you let me know what kind of things are okay to eat, and how to tell the difference between good carbs and bad?

I have gestational diabetes and it is pretty bad. I am 26 weeks along and already on 46 units of insulin a day! My question is this, I don't usually keep diet pop in the house simply because I will drink it all and I know water is much better. I had some in the house and drank it over the last few days, a friend of mine said that when you have diabetes Diet Coke is automatically turned into sugar so I might as well drink a regular pop... I don't believe this simply because when I meet with the dietitian she said I could drink Crystal Light which has the same sweeteners as Diet Pop.... could anyone help me out with what they know please.... I am trying my best but it is getting more difficult by the day.

Also does anyone have any ideas for breakfast, it is by far my hardest meal. I know it is the most important but I need to have 4 children (the oldest being 7) up and out by 7:45 so it is hard.

Thank you so much for any help you can give me!

It runs in my family. I have insulin resistence and want to prevent gestational diabetes. I'm still early in the pregnancy so I want to take charge of this now.

AND if they eat right? Can exercise and healthy diets help people with diabetes? Or will the disease always be there, just to a lesser extent?

I am in great shape and work out (weight lifting) everyday. I don't do to much cardio right now because I am trying to gain muscle mass. But I also eat what ever I want sort of. I have doughnuts and sweats all the time along with my regular meals which are usually pretty healthy. Am I in danger of getting diabetes if I continue this diet?

A friend of mine's husband was cured of diabetes naturally through diet, nutrition, and most especially, detoxing. I have been out of touch with my friend for a while now, but I never found out what detoxing is and if there is any special nutrition.

Does anyone know a website or know personally of a diet that a doctor would put you on if you have or were close to having diabetes? I need to eat healthier and I think that type of diet would help. Thanks.

1. I can suggest ``Compatible`` body type diets for Diabetes II. as per person`s Blood Group.
2. Based upon the theory of Nature Cures, I can suggest Diets to ``Prevent, Control and Cures`` over 150 Human Ailments and diseases. The Body Compatible diets are suggested, on the basis of each person`s Blood Group, Age, Weight, Height etc. It is worked out individually, based upon the Human Blood Group. 3. I also suggest ``Onbed Exercises`` which one can easily do on bed in Home, for about 15 to 30 minutes daily which makes body flexible, active, energetic and disease-free. 4. I can suggest ``Total Wellness Methods`` based up on ``Indian Ayurvedical Systems`` in order to maintain proper balance of the ``Vatta, Pitta and Kapha i.e. the Gas , Acidity and Enzymes Secretions respectively`` which are three basic elements that influence the illness or wellness of the human body. 5. I can provide ``Food Combinations`` that are fully compatibles to every persons body and blood systems. Yash

I dont think i have diabetes, but i want to prevent it, however Im receiving so many different answers from different sources. Im i supposed to avoid carbs? if so, why do some diabetes sites tell me to eat carby foods like bread and beans? Im basically wondering if white rice is bad, would another type of rice be good? beans are ok? they have lots of carbs though. i thought bran was good since it has fiber, but then i read it has carbs?? im so confused, the only food i know for sure is bad is white sugar, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 30 wks and have been very conscious of everything I have eaten my whole pregnancy. I eat whole grains. I don’t eat desserts or drink soda. When I’m not nauseated by them, I eat veggies and lean meat. I looked at diabetes diets online and am already eating in line with them. No one in my family has diabetes.

I work for a fast paced job that brings in lunch daily. We don’t pick what, they just bring in a bunch of something. This is the only time when I’m not in control of my diet. Nov is our busiest month, most days I work 10 hrs without breaks so I know I don’t get enough water or exercise during the day. Now I’m feeling angry towards my employer. I'm also feeling very angry with my body and even the baby! I don’t want to tell people because they already joke about how careful I am with my diet. It always annoyed me- now it seriously pisses me off. Is this a natural first reaction? Will this feeling pass? Since I already eat very healthy, do you think I'll have to take insulin?
