Hello,
My mom is diabetic and shes having trouble controlling her blood sugar lately. Its hard for her to excersize because she has a fibroid that makes her bleed a lot. She also has knee problems so from time to time, if she walks or stands to much, it starts to hurt and the bones click together. We don't have medical insurance so we're trying to avoid the doctor as long as we can. So, what can she eat to control her blood sugar levels? (no medicen). And if you have any other suggestions towards what we can do, it would be greatly appreciated.(: Thank you.

Plantain, wheat meals. also chk: http://diabetes.webmd.com/features/diabetic-diet-6-foods-control-blood-sugar. cheers

Boiled Unripe plaintain is highly recommended. She should try to avoid carbs as well as soda and fizzy drinks.

She should be eating more of fresh vegetables,fruits esp.those that have less sugar content,foods rich in fibre,wheat bread.She should avoid carobonated drinks

There are two things your mom can do let her eat food with little sugar or food that are easily digestable like wheat,let her eat in little quantity and let her get herbs like abere,moringa leave and sweet basil to lower down her blood sugar level

For d pains,let her do light exercises like regular squating.it will help a lot.

No whites: white rice, white bread, ogi, you get the point right? If her BSL is within 10 , then she should be good,

No Medicare? Have you explored the new Obamacare ? I saw the commercial on tv recently and it sounds like a good deal the copayment is not that much I heard.

She needs insulin at least for keeps just incase.

She doesn't need extreme exercises , she can just go for a walk 2 times a day .

Just saw dis post,she should tek wheat,ofada rice nd soya beans a lot.some fruits are dangerous to her health,its advisable for her to flush d ones in her blood with foodsupplements.its herbal nd ders a product I will lik to introduce to her.she's most likly sufferin from athritis too cos of d pains due to loss of calcium.

Human resource .... ummmm

Ummmmm?? If u care to know, am a trained nutritionist and I know a lot about chronic diseases.DIABETES MELITUS iS d least.wat causes it is the intake of too much carbohydrates.we need carbohydrates for energy but wen we are 25 upwards,we shld reduce d intake cos dats callin for diabetes. Tell ur mum to change her diet..WHEAt,OFADA rice nd soyabeans will make her cell permeable nd it will make her blood sugar nt too increase with lots of fruits but banana,oranges and apple shld be avoided or taken in a minute rate.by 2020 according to W H O 75%OF pple livin in nigeria will be diabetic.I hope we all change our DIET. Just saw d knee issue,arthritis is caused by inflammation of joints.women loos blood startin from menstration,delivery day nd calcium in d body is loos tru it.breastfeedin too cos d child takes d mothers calcium so women are liable to suffer from it dat men.tell her to take food dat are rich in( Fe)unripped plantain,ugwu,gbure ,snail,all sea foods but oilY fishes shld be avoided too. As for moringa ,d fresh one is d best for elder ones cos too much of d dried ones increases blood pressur.dis is d correct nd balanced diet designed by W H O 5%carbohydrates,15%proteins,30%fruits and vegetables and 50%whole grains(wheat,soya,ofada rice) I wish her d best of good health.HEALTH is WEALTH
