Normal BS is 80-120 – you are WAY above normal. It’s not so much the amount of sugar intake that is the problem, as it is the fact that your pancreas isn’t producing enough insulin to help your body convert it. Fasting for at least 10-12 hours, your blood sugar should be at low normal, not above normal – that’s a warning sign that you should heed. A random reading of well over 200 is unacceptable. Untreated diabetes causes NUMEROUS problems and if you are unable to control it via diet, then you NEED to take medication, whether it is pill form (if you have type-2 diabetes) or insulin injections (type 1) DO NOT ignore your doctor’s advice – if he/she recommends medication, don’t wait until your kidneys and/or eyesight are failing before you listen!

With proper dieting and excericise one can control thier diabetes, absolutley. However, if diabetes runs in your family their may be a force greater than just dieting and exercising working against you…genetics! If you have high blood sugar issues (diabetes) cutting out simple carbohydrates such as pastas, white bread, food high in sugars will decrease the amount of sugar in your body, and exercising will burn off carbohydrates (sugars) as well. But you must be careful not to do too much exercise because you may become hypoglycemic (low sugar in the blood- shaking, hard to see, heart racing). I strongly suggest talking to your doctor to come up with a plan, and a good doctor will suggest a test run of diet and exercise first, then medications. Good Luck

Talk to your doctor. This is a serious problem. Are you overweight or obese? If yes, then the diet and exercise will make a big difference in the long run, but both medicine and diet and exercise at the beginning and taper off of the medicine as you can and still maintain a safe blood sugar. Testing is the key. If you are already at a health body weight, then you should resign yourself to your doctor’s care and take whatever pills he/she gives you.

You can’t cure it but you may for a period forstall taking medicines. You may , but I doubt it, get almost to normal. But that is strict diet and exercise. And don’t just walk :NORDIC WALK… Thats walking with ski poles or sticks. It really improves the exercise. Builds up the arm great. Also here are some tips:
Use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cinnamon per day. Add it to your coffee, oatmeal, smoothie, or wherever you find it palatable.
If you already suffer from diabetes, be sure to stay on a regular schedule with your cinnamon usage so that your blood sugar levels don’t yo-yo.Use the same amount at the same time every day so that you can get a sense of how cinnamon affects your own personal blood sugar readings.
Use the powdered spice or a cinnamon stick. Cinnamon pills are also available, and can be found easily via an online search. MHCP is water soluble and is not found in cinnamon oil.
Lime and lemon juice delay the digestion of starches as does vinegar. I’ve found that 2-3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice reduces my post prandial BG response by 10-20 points. Rick Mendosa’s site has a lot of material on acids in the diet. Take a look at .
Fight Diabetes with Sweet Laughter
A Japanese study finds a chuckle after a meal may help lower your blood sugar.
A chuckle may help the body process blood sugar, according to research from Japan. A study of type 2 diabetes—the most common form of the disease—found that laughter was linked to lower blood sugar levels after a meal.
Over two days, participants were given identical meals. On one day, they watched a humorless lecture, and on the next they watched a Japanese comedy show. The group of 19 people with diabetes and five without had their blood sugar monitored during the study.
Afterward both diabetics and non-diabetics alike had lower glucose levels after laughing through the comedy show than they did when they listened to the monotonous 40-minute lecture. The study was published in Diabetes Care.
Keiko Hayashi, of the University of Tsukuba, Japan, who led the study says that he cannot yet explain the laughter-glucose connection. It could be that laughter affects the neuroendocrine system, which monitors the body’s glucose levels. Or it may be an effect of energy used by the stomach muscles.
Increased blood sugar can cause major complications for diabetics. If glucose is not kept in check, diabetics are more at risk for heart disease, kidney disease, and blindness. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body fails to produce enough insulin to control the body’s glucose levels.

Have you been to the doctor yet for this? Your answer is going to depend greatly on whether your doctor determines you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If you have type 1, then you WILL need insulin regardless of how much you eat or exercise. You can however limit the amount of insulin you need by exercising and eating healthy. If you have type 2 diabetes, you can often control it with diet and exercise and by losing weight. However, this doesn’t work for everyone and your doctor may want you to take an oral medication(THIS IS NOT INSULIN) to control your diabetes. If none of this works than your doctor will need to start you on insulin injections. If you don’t already have one, get a blood glucose monitor to keep with you and check your blood sugar in the morning before you eat, before meals, 2 hours after meals, and also before bed(especially if you are on diabetes meds). Sorry my answer got so long, but there are so many aspects to diabetes!! If you have ANY other questions, feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you!
Losing weight without starving yourself
Diet and exercise works for SOME people for SOME period of time- but most diabetics should be taking or are taking oral medication or insulin.
If you cannot control your glucose to normal levels with diet control and exercise, it’s time for meds and/or insulin. As someone said, every day you spend running high blood sugars is another day you spend damaging your body.
