BLOOD SUGAR TESTING THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION SAYS… Timing your routine testing as recommended can help you see how your meals, medications and activities affect your blood sugar. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that you routinely test blood sugar as an effective part of any self-care program. For people using insulin, the ADA recommends testing 3 or more times a day. If you take another kind of medication, test your blood sugar level as often as your healthcare team recommends. Testing blood sugar and maintaining a log is the right way to keep track of routine testing results for review with your healthcare professional. |

Can You Reverse Type 2 Diabetes?"Simply put, the bottom line if you want to reverse diabetes is diet and exercise," says Weiss. "If people do so, the diabetes goes away but if the diet and exercise stop and the weight comes back, so does the diabetes." According to NYU Langone Medical Center bariatric surgeon Christine Ren, MD, some 80 percent of Type 2 Diabetics are obese-and Americans are growing obese at a younger age. "Forty years ago, people did not get overweight until they were in their 40s and 50s," she says. "Now people become overweight as teenagers, and close to 70 percent of Americans are either overweight or obese." What typically happens with a newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic, Weiss says, is that he's motivated to lose the necessary weight as recommended through diet and exercise. But after a few months or a year, the weight creeps back up at the same time that the diabetes returns. Get Help Managing Your Diabetes and Weight! |
