What foods to eat without insulin for diabetes?

Patient's Query

I am a diabetic i take insulin but this 2 weeks i haven't taken my medicen its finished until i buy my insulin what type of food can i eat or what can i do?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

When you skip insulin, your blood sugar levels can rise, which isn't good for your health. It's essential to try and maintain stable blood sugar levels. In the meantime, focus on eating a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid sugary and processed foods. Stay hydrated and try to get some light exercise, like walking. But the most crucial step is to get your insulin as soon as you can. It's vital for managing your diabetes effectively.

I have hyperthyroidism and my tsh value is at 15.i want medicine recommendation for it

Female | 21

Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. It can cause symptoms such as weight loss, sweating, and feeling nervous. A TSH value of 15 is considered high, which indicates an underactive thyroid. Levothyroxine could be prescribed to correct this by balancing out your levels of thyroid hormones. Be sure to follow your doctor’s advice.

Female | 23

PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a typical disease which usually combines both the menstrual cycle, acne, and weight and hormonal imbalances. Treatment can be effective when testosterone and estrogen levels are maintained at the right balance. Prescription medications, methods like the change of the way we are living, linked with good nutrition and regular exercise, and sometimes hormonal therapies can be effective solutions.

I am 37 years old male my hba1c is 5.9 is that mean i have dieabtes which type

Male | 37

A blood glucose test result of hemoglobin A1c level 5.9 tells you that your blood sugar level is a little bit higher than normal but it doesn't automatically mean that you are diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes may cause you to have a dry mouth, go to the bathroom too often, and feel extremely hungry. The origin of these can be both hereditary and lifestyle.

Also referred to as diabetes, sugar disease occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin. The main cause is when the sugars in your body are not used adequately. If one has experienced this, coordinating regular exercises and consuming healthy choices would probably be a wise move.

SUGAR LEVEL 230 AFTER EATING AND 112/79 (109 PULSE) (PULSE SOMETIMES GO 77 AND SOMETIMES 110+) WHAT CAN I DO TO TO CONTROL SUGAR AND BP LIKE A NORMAL PERSON

Male | 59

A blood sugar level of 230 after eating is too high, and fluctuating blood pressure isn't good. This may indicate uncontrolled diabetes, which can cause dizziness or chest pain. To manage it, eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, and reduce salt, sugar, and stress. Drink more water, cut down on caffeine, and ensure you get good sleep. If your readings remain high, see a doctor. Maintaining balanced meals, regular exercise, less salt and sugar, and managing stress, along with staying hydrated and getting enough sleep, are crucial.

Female | 44

If you do not take care­ of diabetes, you may lose we­ight. Your pee might also smell bad. This happe­ns when your body cannot use sugar right. It starts using fat and muscle for e­nergy instead. This causes we­ight loss. To fix this, you must control your diabetes. Eat healthy foods, e­xercise, and take me­dicine as told. This will help kee­p your blood sugar levels normal.

People your age should gain weight bit by bit. Perhaps you are not eating enough or have thyroid issues among other things which commonly lead to a lack of weight gain. Have balanced diet meals that are inclusive of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. To rule out any health complications, go for regular checkups with a physician.

Hi .dr Please tell me that asghand testosterone increase krta women ka bhi? Mera testosterone already zyda but mery herbalist nay herbs ma asghand bhi include ki .mujy sumj nai a rhi kya yeh shi ha?

Female | 23

Asghand, also known as ashwagandha, can affect hormone levels, including testosterone. In women with higher testosterone, it might be beneficial but can also lead to unwanted symptoms such as increased hair growth or mood changes. It's essential to monitor your body's response when introducing new herbs. I recommend discussing this with a healthcare provider to tailor your approach, ensuring it's safe and suitable for your health needs. A professional can offer personalized advice based on your specific situation, ensuring you achieve your wellness goals effectively.
