Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Mark, Where did you get the idea an orange has only 15 carbs? It must be a really small orange! Of course we can eat fruit, but you have to really look at the amount. Most of the oranges and apples and pears sold in the stores are about twice the size any one of us should eat. Also, yes, you can get neuropathy in other places in your body, such as your hands, stomach, bladder, intestines, heart and genitals. It seems mostly to start in the feet, but gastro-pueresis of the stomach is another form as is diabetic diarrhea. The a better you control your sugars, the less likely you are to keep developing this-and it can calm down a lot if you stay " good " for an extended period of time. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Mark Ruth Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 5:47 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: WHAT IS NEPHROPATHY?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I wouldn't advice skipping a meal, even though you think it might help.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Skipping meals is absolutely *NOT* a smart thing to do. When you skip a meal your body begins to think that there will never be any more food coming along so when the next meal does come the body grabs every carb it can find and stores it away for later use in case no more food comes along for days and days. This will cause the blood sugar to rise and the whole thing is a downward spiral. The best advice I could give is eat much smaller meals every two hours or so. That way the body thinks there is a never ending supply of protein and carbs available and it will do what it needs to do in order to maintain a more even level. Drinking plenty of water (not coffee, tea, slavored water or all that) will also greatly assist your body in getting rid of the after effects of exercise as the blood will be able to carry off the acids left behind by muscle activity. Good hydration could also help with those foot cramps for the same reason.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Skipping meals is absolutely *NOT* a smart thing to do. When you skip a meal your body begins to think that there will never be any more food coming along so when the next meal does come the body grabs every carb it can find and stores it away for later use in case no more food comes along for days and days. This will cause the blood sugar to rise and the whole thing is a downward spiral. The best advice I could give is eat much smaller meals every two hours or so. That way the body thinks there is a never ending supply of protein and carbs available and it will do what it needs to do in order to maintain a more even level. Drinking plenty of water (not coffee, tea, slavored water or all that) will also greatly assist your body in getting rid of the after effects of exercise as the blood will be able to carry off the acids left behind by muscle activity. Good hydration could also help with those foot cramps for the same reason.

I GET REAL BAD CRAMPING PAIN IN MY FEET. SOME FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN A DIABETIC FOR LONGER THEN I HAVE, TELL ME THAT IT IS NEPHROPATHY CAUSED FROM BAD SUGAR CONTROL. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I DO MUCH BETTER WITH CONTROLLING MY SUGAR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME, THE PAIN IN MY FEET DOES SLOW DOWN. BUT IF I START BACK TO EATING MORE CA4RBS THEN I KNOW I SHOULD THE CRAMPS OR PAIN STARTS COMING BACK REALLY BAD IN THE FEET. SOME ONE ONCE TOLD ME THAT YOU CAN'T REVERSE THE COMPLICATIONS CAUSED FROM BAD SUGAR CONTROL, BUT YOU CA N STOP THEM FROM GETTING WORSE IF YOU GET YOUR A1C UNDER CONTROL. NOW ONE MORE QUESTION PLEASE. WHY ARE WE WHO ARE DIABETICS NOT SUPPOSE TO EAT FRESH FRUIT? I SEE THAT A ORANGE ONLY HAS 15 CARBS. LOOKS LIKE IF I WAS EATING 90 CARBS IN A DAY, THEN ONE ORANGE COULD BE FIT IN OK. I DO KNOW THAT SOME FRUIT IS REALLY HIGHER AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED. THEY ALWAYS SAY IF YOU WISH TO BE HEALTHY, THEN EAT LOTS OF FRUIT AND VEGGIES EVERY DAY AND WHOLE GRAINS AS WELL WITH NUTS. I KNOW THAT FRUIT JUICE IS REALLY NOTHING MORE THEN SUGAR WATER AND REALLY BAD FOR A DIABETIC. SEEMS TO ME G IVING UP FRESH FRUIT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR ANY ONE. BUT I DO KNOW IF THE ORANGE HAS 15 CARBS AND YOU DON'T EAT MORE THEN 30 CARBS IN A WHOLE DAY, THEN THE ORANGE IS HALF OF THE CARBS YOU ARE EATING IN THE WHOLE DAY. I GET TO REALLY WISHING FOR SOME THING SWEET AND KNOWING THAT SUGAR IS REAL BAD. BUT I CAN EAT A ORANGE OR ANOTHER PIECE OF FRUIT AND KIND OF MAKE MY SELF HAPPY AND NOT EAT THE CANDY OR THE DOUGHNUT. SO CAN THIS NEPHROPATHY HAPPEN TO OTHER PARTS OF YOUR BODY BE SIDES THE FEET? CAN IT CAUSE PAIN LIKE THAT EVERY WHERE IN THE BODY?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Skipping a meal for a specific purpose is acceptable. As a pattern, it is not. Some day, when I go and get a colonostomy, I'll need to go without eating for the better part of a day before the procedure. What happens when you skip eating is, the body will look at other sources within the body for energy. It will grab glucose from the liver and other organs, ultimately your brain if you go long enough without eating. And in a diabetic, this internal shot of energy can result in high blood sugar. AS Cy stated, eat small meals. I like to tell people I eat 6 small meals each day. " Pigging " out is not a good thing. When we go out to eat, and everybody else is getting the buffet, I order off the menu. I'll never get my monies worth at an all-you-can-eat buffet!
