Im courious on what kind of good diet I can consume while being a diabetic. I play raquet ball about 2 hours every other day and have a high metabolism, so what low sugar foods with good protein would you all recomend?

mmaibohm Posts: 1,621 Joined: 2003/09/30	2004/02/16, 02:13 AM nope I havent tried it. I am not very keen about it I dont want to risk infection or it slipping out. my HBA1c is usually between 5.5 to 7. So I am under good control.

Well im hopin to see some muscle mass results soon (hopefully) I think im at the right place and I already feel at home!
mmaibohm Posts: 1,621 Joined: 2003/09/30	2004/02/16, 02:28 AM yes, this is a great place. I have found a supplement that helps sugar control alpha lipoic acid. I take 600mg per day it does wonders. But you have to becarefull it is the real deal and I have had some dangerous lows from it. I woke up seeing colors in the air and spots. I did a bg and i had droped down to 54. It's also good for muscle building because it helps to shuttle glucose into our cells. I kind of use it also to creat lows after a work out so when I take my protein shake it's forced into the cells because the body is screaming for sugar lol -------------- I must not fear.

trimm Posts: 10 Joined: 2004/02/15	2004/02/16, 02:35 AM Do you see a regular Doctor about your diabetes, if you do,is it safe to take with insulin, im just curious becuase im always looking for new ways to manage my diabetes, if you can maybe you can tell moer about the alpha lipioc acid, maybe where to get it and the costs?
mmaibohm Posts: 1,621 Joined: 2003/09/30	2004/02/16, 03:01 AM I see an endocrinologist for my diabetes. Regular doctors have no clue alot of the time. It is safe to take with insulin but your dose might need to be lowered. I actually just go to my local walmart and buy it. I have been happy with the rexall super alpha lipoic acid they sell. It comes in 200mg caps. And cost about 7$ per bottle. Here are some links on it http://www.berkeleywellness.com/html/ds/dsAlphaLipoicAcid.php http://www.teenbodybuilding.com/derek30.htm
