Are store-bought low-carb snacks suitable for type 1 diabetics?
Hello I'm a type 1 diabetic, I personally like snacks that are low carb. How do I know if a (diabetic friendly) store bought snack is good for me? My insulin to carb ratio is 1:15
General Physician
Answered on 15th June '24
Diabetic snacking needs care. Always check the total carb content on labels. For stable blood sugar, pick low-carb options. Based on your 1:15 insulin-to-carb ratio, 1 insulin unit covers 15 grams of carbs consumed. So portion your snack accordingly. However, drink water promptly if you experience excessive thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, and possible high blood sugar signs. Then test your levels and adjust insulin per doctor's guidelines.

i have diabetes for 2yrs or more but till last year my repriductive organ is normal but forcpast 2months when masterbating also my organ is smaller in size.. but ejaculation occurs normal but size is small. is it due to diabetes or over masterbation
Male | 32
Diabetes mellitus can actually be an obstacle to male and female reproductive functions. Persistent high blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage and blood flow restriction as well as a hormonal imbalance. Moreover, temporary swelling haemorrhage due to the fatigued tissues may be caused by excessive masturbation. This one, I should say, requires the patients and doctors to focus on the effective management of diabetes through medication, proper diet, and regular exercise. Recommend you to visit a urologist for personalized treatment.

m a diabetic patient ifeel my left arm feels vacant while sleeping in night
Male | 50
A medical issue may be causing numbness in your arm at night. Peripheral neuropathy often occurs with diabetes. Excess glucose damages arm nerves, creating that vacant feeling. Controlling sugar levels helps reduce tingling or numbness. Your diet, exercise, prescribed medication — these properly manage blood sugar. Achieve healthy targets to relieve neuropathy discomfort affecting your limb.

पुरुष | 68
You will need to realize that the symptoms of diabetes such as, for example, tiredness, more hunger or thirst than usual can occur. If your sugar level is 170, then your blood sugar control is not right. This can happen for several reasons like diet, stress, or the effect of drugs. Monitoring your food and exercising are very important. This will help to improve your condition. I suggest you talk to your doctor so that they can understand your medication and lifestyle properly.

Female | 19
Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the evening, is complex. Being unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happens when your sugar dips during sleep. You might need to alter your insulin doses or timing under medical supervision. Complex carbs and protein at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady levels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worries with your doctor.

I have sugar 203 after 4 hrs of eating
Female | 69
High blood sugar above 203 is abnormal after eating. It occurs when your body can't produce enough insulin or use it correctly. You may often feel thirsty, tired, and hungry. Manage high blood sugar by following a balanced diet, staying active through exercise, and taking medications prescribed. Check blood sugar levels frequently. See your doctor for more guidance.

im sugar patient, which juice can i drink
Female | 48
Choose 100% juice with zero added sugar. Pick lower-sugar kinds like lemon or diluted cranberry. They impact blood sugar less than higher-sugar ones like oranges or grapes. Even so, remember to drink only slightly. Too much juice can trouble sugar patients.

Dr. Myself Haneef I Am Suffering From Type 2 Diabetes Since 3 Years.. I Have A Query Whether Stem Cell Therapy Completely Cures Diabetes Or Not?
Male | 39
Stem cell therapy is a field scientists are still exploring for diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body can't utilize insulin correctly, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. Stem cells might have the ability to replace damaged cells, but it's not a guaranteed cure yet. Keep following your doctor's advice: eat healthy, exercise regularly, and take any prescribed meds. Managing diabetes properly is crucial.

Your baby and you can be in danger if your blood sugar is too high. Occasionally Glynase is given to lower blood sugar, but be sure to ask your gynecologist about this drug’s safety. The medication might help decrease sugar levels in your body, but always heed your physician’s advice. Also, eating good food and exercising can manage your blood sugar.

Female | 46
Your sugar remains elevated despite medicine. Too much sugar risks skin boils - red, painful lumps filled with pus. Diabetes often causes boils when sugars stay high. Lowering sugars prevent boils. Your meds or diet may need adjusting. It's wise to discuss concerns with your doctor soon.

High blood sugar of 262 been high for 4 days
Female | 38
High blood sugar can cause excessive thirst, fatigue, and increased urination. If it is high for too long, like 262 for 4 days, it can be dangerous. This may be due to not taking diabetes medication, eating too much sugary food, or lack of exercise. To reduce it, try drinking water, eating healthy foods, and moving more. If this still doesn't help, you should go to a doctor.

Male | 46
This can lower blood sugar levels too much. Watch for signs like shaking, sweating, not thinking clearly, or fainting. If these symptoms show, give your father some sugary juice or soda immediately. Monitor him closely. Call for medical assistance if needed. Be more careful counting out medication doses next time.

You have lower back pain, despite seeing a specialist for a year. Back troubles come from many causes: age, diabetes, overexerting yourself. Doctors use MRIs to find out why. Managing the discomfort involves easy workouts, good posture, medicines. But listen to your doctor first.
