Can you develop diabetes from having hypoglycemia?

Q. I am hypoglycemic (as you may know from previous questions) and I am wondering if you could develop diabetes from it. Hypoglycemia is a walk in the park compared to diabetes, and I have a family history of diabetes. Is it possible that your hypoglycemia could get worse and turn into diabetes?

A. HI YOU
YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE SUGAR IN YOUR BODY DIABTES IS WHEN YOU HAVE YOU MUCH BUT HERE IS THE BIG BUT YOUR BODY NEED SO MUCH SUGAR TO HELP IT WORK AND WHEN IT DROPS DOWN TO LOW AS YOU SAY IS IN YOUR CASE IT MEANS YOU ARE ALSO DOING DAMAGE TO YOURSELF AND IS WHY DIABETIC DO THERE BEST NOT TO GET THEM IF I WHERE YOU I WOULD LOOK THIS UP ON THE NET TO GET AS MUCH INFO AS POSSABLE ON IT


What is the difference between having Pre-Diabetes and Diabetes?
Q. Whats the difference and do they have the same symptoms.... like of knowing u may have diabetes?

A. There really isn't much difference. A lot depends on who you ask. Prediabetes simply means that you are insulin resistant. Think of it as a warning that if you don't start taking care of yourself, you're going to require medical intervention soon.

With all the conflicting info, is drinking coffee good or bad?
Q. With all the conflicting info, is drinking coffee beneficial or harmful to one's health?

A. Recent studies, show, without a doubt,drinking coffee in moderate amounts, has many benefits. Coffee contains antioxidants, called, "Polyphenols". Studies show that coffee drinkers are lowering their risk of Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer, and more. A coffee called Kopi Luwak, is the most expensive coffee in the world, at $75 per 1/4 pound. It is eaten by a Palm Civet, and then excreted. *It is also supposed to be the 'best' tasting coffee, as well!


any advice on how to start a diabetes support group in the community?
Q. Small community of 40K people, nearest big city is peoria, 200K, anyway, we only have support groups in peoria for diabetes sufferers. I would like to start a support group for my city and the surrounding community east of the illinois river. any advice would b greatly appreciated.

A. First , think of a name for your group. Then get two or three diabetic friends to brainstorm. Come up with rules , how you want to either have meetings like AA or more casual. One cool way to attract people is to have a "Eatin' Meetin'" once a month. Have some special diabetic foods for the guests.
Decide what days you would have meetings.

Have officers, President , treasurer and secretary.For the first 6 months to a year , you be president . That's so you can create a great meeting venue.Then have a vote to elect new officiers.
Be flexible , but you will run into a few that will try to dominate. So you must be the Boss for a time.

Join a diabetes forum , that way you will have great topics to discuss.(diabetesdaily.com) is a good one to start. Also is it just for Type 2 diabetics or for all. That's your decision.
And finally , place a small ad in the local newspaper. Run it for a couple of weeks. Also have you friend tell their doctors about the support group. This could get bigger than you think. The more the merrier.
Here is a great guideline for diabetics . It took me years to get it down pat. I am type 2 .

Also the websites mentioned are great resources.
There are 4 key steps to controlling glucose levels :

1) EXERCISE- Walking is fine but Nordic Walking is Great. Exercise also lowers Glucose levels , lowers Cholesterol and lowers Blood Pressure. Google it.Exercise is Non-Negotiable !!!Thats why it is Number 1 on the list.
2) Knowledge- http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/index.ph� This is a great site for info
3) Meds. Metformin to start. Never , ever take Actos or Avandia. They may kill you. Bone fractures, heart problems and what diabetics really don't need is that they change Bone Stem Cells to Fat Cells.Also never ever take Onglyza or Januvia . They can can inhibit the bodys immune system and let cancer spread.
4) Diet- A low carb diet is in order. I can't count carbs so I use Mendosa's Glycemic Index Diet. Great for the whole family. http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm

Good luck
