Diabetic question?

I am going to the doctor in a couple days for a blood test. I am thinking I may be diabetic.  It runs in my family and I have many of the symptoms. What my question is I am always thirsty…
I have been drinking it.
And it just seems to make me thirstier. Anyone have any recomendations on what to drink? I have tried G2 and regular gatorade, soda, diet soda, teas…et.  I just keep wondering if there is something else I haven’t tried – and I do not drink alcohol. Thank you in advance.

Bodybuilding Diet Questions?

Hi, I am a type two diabetic. I am trying to figure out my diet because what i have tried has not worked. I would like some help in my dilemma. Here’s the diet I am on now. My protien sources are lean beef, turkey, chicken, tuna and salmon.
My carb sources are usually in the fiberous family, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. My good fat intake are usually from avocado, fatty fish, peanuts, etc. I am allergic to tree nuts (usually walnuts, but will not try to experiment. Done that with peanuts and not allergic to them.) and mushrooms.
My ratio is 2:1:1 protien to carbs and fats. I try to eat 225g of protein per day. I don’t or try not to, eat high glycemic carbs. What am I missing?

How can I control my weight if exercise doesn’t do it and I can’t stay any diet program for too long?

G O asked:

My height is 1.92m and I weigh in 124kg. Because I’m a diabetic I can’t follow any diet which highly restricts carbohydrate diet. Instead, I have attempted to follow several low-fat and low-sugar diets, but without success. I do a weights program three times most weeks and cycle intensely for two hour bursts.  I’d appreciate any advice.
