^^^^hmmmmmmmm^^^^^^
If I was a betting man, I would say about 90% or more. Black people still are uneducated when it comes to eating right
news flash everyone suppose to eat as if they have diabetes.

This will get you off the Diabetic meds and shit! I've been on it since 2000, haven't needed meds in 8 years! My last A1C was a 4.
Gymnema Sylvestre: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnema_sylvestre
Best place to get it and it costs like $9 per lb, which should last you about 3 years:

You're welcome!
I just found out i have type 2 about a month ago.
now im takin insulin shots twice a day..i already had a decent diet with the exception of a few things.
ive been opting for raw veg instead of cooked..there are alot of sugar free options out there.
with the little i know so far, i think the most important thing is to pinpoint what your guilty pleasures are and find the more healthy alternative.
if you just try to deprive yourself..most people are okay for a while, then they end up on a junk food bender.
so find what you like..but take the diet/sugar free alternative

I just had a complete physical and it states I'm in great health, but sometime I wonder if I'm a candidate for diabetes, because of certain things my body does.
What are the symptoms?

thirsty all the time, weight loss, peeing alot,extreme hunger, always tired,blurry vision,thers a few more i forgot about tho
...you went to M.I.T? Chea right.
i thought you only do insulin shots if you type 1? but maybe not, it runs in my fam also
type 2 runs in my family as they reach the elder years.
before that, it's alcoholism, gunshots, stabbings and high blood pressure that kills my kinfolk.
i've been on hypertension meds since the age of 31. mom has to get shots to control hers and she's 5 ft tall, 107 lbs with low bodyfat.
if it's in your genetic makeup, just get ready to deal with it.

ok I'm thirsty all the time, but let my parents tell it, that's always been me, I pee alot because I drink a lot of fluids, I'm tired because I work 60 hours a week, so I can justify most of these. I'm drinking water, juice, or soda pretty much all the time.
But what scares me is I can get really shaky, nervous like, almost like I'm about to pass out and can drink a glass of orange juice and I'm fine. This has happened to me a couple of times, and the doctor says I'm not diabetic.
And yes it does run in my family. My Grandmother had it and use to take the insulin shot.
damn that was me all the way.
how high was your blood sugar when you found out? mine was almost 800
What are some good ways to loss about 15 pounds and still have all the carbs and shit your body need.
shit mine was in the 400's
but now my shit be getting real low making my head feel light and shaky

they ain' listenin' dawg....
^^^Get a second opinion.
Your symptoms sound like Hypoglycema (sp)
thanks. I googled it to look at the symptoms and most of these describe me.
my dad has it. but he lives his life as normal. no shots, no medicine, no anything.
he takes his usual vitamins, and eats his usual vegy meals, and whenever he feels tired he goes to sleep...
my dad doesn't really trust medicine like that...he seems to be alright
MY MOM FOUND OUT BOUT A YEAR AGO SHE HAS IT, SHE SAID BEFORE THAT SHE WOULD NOTICE SHE WOULD FEEL LIGHTHEADED AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY IF SHE DIDNT EAT LUNCH OR WHAT HAVE YOU, WE WERE OUT ONE DAY GETTING LUNCH, AND I GUESS THE FOOD WAS TAKING TO LONG AND SHE ALMOST FELL OUT, MAN I WAS SCARED AS HELL, BUT SHE IS DOING GOOD NOW, I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WHO'S SISTER HAD JUVENILE DIABETES AND DIED FROM IT A FEW YEARS AGO, AND NOW SHE HAS TYPE 2 DIABETES AS WELL AS HER MOTHER, THING IS FOLKS THINK JUST HEAVY PEOPLE GET IT, AND SHE IS THIN, IT JUST RUNS IN HER FAMILY,
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP SWEETY, AND JUST TAKE CARE OF
YOURSELF........
HEY COCO, THE SHAKING AND NERVOUS PART YOU WAS MENTIONING IS JUST THE EXACT THING MY MOTHER DESCRIBE, AND THE ALWAYS THIRSTY
^^No probs.
Definitely go see a Dr to get yourself checked out.
Diabetes isd no joke but people can still lead normal, fulfilled lives as long as they change their eating habits, excercise more and just generally take care of themselves.
I used to get that about 3 times a week (terrible feeling) until I started balancing out my ph-levels...I seem to have it under control, still happens every now and then.
i found out right after new years day. right before christmas i went to a christmas party, and got really drunk drinking hennessey. for the next few days i felt really bad, real tired and light headed. then on new years eve i had a few drinks and started feeling bad. my wife was already a diabetic, and i did a sugar test, and it read 304. went to the dr and he gave me the bad news. i take metformin for it and a cinnamon supplement. i changed my diet, stopped drinkning brown liqour, cut back on beer and at my last checkup my a1c went from 9.9 to 7.6. lately i've fallen off, but i getting back track.
Try 900. I was damn near in a coma when I went to the hospital. Layed up in ICU for over 2 weeks with gunshot victims and shit. Diabeetus ain't no joke.
