Diet And Symptoms Posted: 09-01-05 23:21pm
Myself, I am a girl, and my main symptoms
for diabetes were reoccuring yeast
infections, not able to sleep, having to
go #1 all the time, and constantly thirsty
but neever quinching the thirst. I
always wanted to sugary things too. My
heart would pound but I would be dead
tired. It would be the worst when I
would drink too much alcohol because I
would sleep only 4 hours and not be able
to function for days properly. Despite my
nay obgyn appointments and mediciations,
no one could help me find out what this
reoccuring situation was or make the
connections. Finally I got food
poisoning and was bed ridden, lost about
10 pounds in 3 days and could not drink
enough. So I went to the doctor and
found out I was diabetic. Itchyness
could just be some skin irritation but if
you have any of the above, go to another
doctor.

Since I was diagnosed, I was able to get
my blood sugar pretty well in check. I
am not quite there yet. But helpful
foods are veggies and eating things that
aren't white. In a lot of ways, a
diabetes diet, is a real diet. No white
foods like white rice, pasta, and white
bread because it all turns to sugar and
doesn't really supply you with the
nutrients you need. I enjoy brown rice
and wheat bread anyways, so it's kind of a
plus. But try to eat less of the carbs
and more veggies. Sugars like maple
syrup, jelly, chocolate, ice cream, and
even things like tomatoes and carrots that
you wouldn't guess had sugar in them can
really effect your steady moods as well as
your sugar levels. Basically, meals
consisting of a chicken salad, or a meat
item with veggies and maybe a touch of
starches or carbs is the healthiest
simplest way to eat. No more than a
tablespoon or two of starches or carbs is
a good side dish to eat, just don't overdo
it. It's a bit like the south beach
diet. I notice when I eat pasta, I crash
and feel heavy within an hour or two.
Pizza is completely out of the question -
it's like asking for a punch in the
stomach, it goes nowhere for you.
Hope this helps.
