No diabetes in my family, my weight is a little above average, I have a sweet tooth, but I haven’t had any symptoms of diabetes?

Boris B asked:

I’m testing high for blood sugar so I began a regular exercise progam not so long ago.  I’m feeling good about the way things are going. Is there anyone in the know as to whether a high blood sugar level has persisted with no degregation of of life style and activity?

I’m not as fit as I used to be.  In fact, I let myself go a little after having had a strong focus on sports in my younger years.

If my activity level continues at the improved level will my glucose levels improve?  I’m also cutting down on my sugar intake.

Need a low sodium dog food for my dog who has epilepsy & diabetes?

momof2 asked:

He is on a gluten-free diet so the dog food cannot contain glycoproteins of dairy, wheat, gluten, casein, soy, corn, MSG (monosodium glutamate), or aspartame. I would like to keep using his current brand, Nutro Natural Choice Adult Lamb and Rice Dog Food but he’s so thirsty afterwards-all day. I can’t afford to keep giving him chicken and rice so I need a low-sodium alternative. I’ve called the local pet stores, they don’t have anything. And I’ve looked online. The w/d diet is way too much $. 50.00 for a 30lb bag. So I really need help on this one. Any suggestions would be helpful!
I have asked my vet and he recommended the chicken and rice or the W/D diet. He always has access to water, but w/ constant access to water, he also has to urinate quite often. If we’re not home, he pees anywhere. Oh and he just had cataract surgery 2 weeks ago.
Both the diabeties and epilepsy are well regulated w/ consistent dosages of medication.

I have diabetes and my sugars are not?

Lonelygirl asked:

My sugars are not always under control, even though I try. What can I take or do even if it’s a natural remedy to bring it down when it’s a little high.  I’d like something that won’t take many hours to feel the effect.
