I have diabetes being diabetic type 2 and I can't control my eating habits and doctor's orders?
Q. I was just diagnozed diabetes type 2, couple weeks ago and I can't control my eating like my doctor and weight watchers told me, I have health insurance but they asked me to do weight watchers for 6 month before they will do the bariatric surgery.
But back then I didn't have diabetis, can my insurance approve it now that I have diabetes 2?

A. To prevent diabetic deterioration, the only sure strategy is to 'eat according to your blood glucose meter', that is, be absolutely sure of your blood sugar levels before and after meals. The answers below can all provide strategies that work for many people to help you lower those blood glucose levels, but only your glucometer can tell you for sure if they're working. See the Note for Diabetics below for the recommended levels.
Everyone is different. If you are diabetic or a borderline diabetic and worried about harming your body with carbohydrate (this includes sugar) intake (as you should be), then it is small comfort if your intake is fine for average people but tends to cause high blood sugar for *you* in particular.
Rather than researching grams of sugar and asking people (or even doctors) if that's harmful, you should buy a glucometer (blood glucose meter) at any drugstore or pharmacy/chemists and start to use it.
A blood glucose meter will show you what foods you (as in individual) can eat that will keep your blood sugar in these safe ranges:
* Fasting blood sugar under 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/L)
* One hour after meals under 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/L)
* Two hours after meals under 120 mg/dl (6.6 mmol/L)
If it's a health insurance I am not sure but I think they would still approve your bariatric surgery or weight-loss surgery, but I think they will still do some test on you if it won't become a major problem specially your diabetic.

How would I have my sister tested for type 2 diabetes?
Q. She is 18 and she's obese (I calculated her BMI). Diabetes (type 1 & 2) runs in the family and I am worried about her, she refuses to eat right and exercise at all.
What should I do? Call the family doctor or just schedule a test? She would never ask the doctor for a test and I don't know if I should.
I don't usually go to doctor appointments with her. But our family doctor has never talked to her about the dangers of being obese.

A. It's good that you care about your sister, but you should know that obesity does not cause Type 2 diabetes. If that were the case, then all the obese people in the world would be diabetic. However, only a minority (about 1/3) of overweight people get Type 2 diabetes. The rest are just fat but would never get Type 2.
So why those 1/3? Not because they are fat but because they have diabetes genes.
