I suggest you check out webmd. com. Just search Diabetes (be specific on the type you have).

THey will give you answers on how to manage your diabetes and possibly help keep it at bay so you can lead a normal life. Good luck and hope this helps!
my grandmother has diabetes. first i dont know if youre sugar level is low or high but the best way to make sure you never drop too low is to keep a small orange juice box. its the best thing you can have. secondly to keep your sugar low obviously avoid junk food that has high sugar. eat sugar like you normally do but take it in a fraction of what you usually do. a bite of cake wont put you over but a whole piece of cake would typeof thing. have a piece of a chocolate bar instead of the whole one. theres lots of breads, cakes, snacks that are sugarless at food markets now. try to get some of those. another thing is avoid pure sugar in coffee use equal and other sugar supplements. you should ask your doctor because each diabetic is different. dotn forget to take your sugar level and to find out whats in all the differetn foods when you eat out.
if you go to the American Diabetic Association website it can give plenty of imformation in regards to the disease. But what type of diabetes do you have? Remember, follow your doctor’s orders and you will be fine, living a normal life. Take care of yourself.
Sign up for a diabetes ed class , make an appointment with a dietitian for a consult, subscribe to a few publications on diabetes and read several books written with in the past five years.
Educate yourself. We cannot know what program is right for you. Everyone is different.
Good luck.

You need to ask your doctor it all depends on your sugar level. it has to stay under 7 for 3 month periods or it will effect your eyes feet and liver. It should stay at no more then 120 on a daily basis but always will go up after you eat. No sugar or pasta or any thing that will turn to sugar like white bread. Type 2 is not that bad but type one is bad and you need to take injections every day and some time 3 or 4 x a day.
Action Plan for Diabetes
1. Nutrition is the key to getting rid of the cravings. Once you learn about nutrition (#6) and also cleansing out the toxins in the body by doing a colon, liver, and kidney cleanse. You’ll be on your way to a healthy life.
2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of beef, bison meal, lamb or veal.
3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed “junk foods. ” In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.
4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health. Must drink about a gallon of water a day to maintain health. Your body is craving this much more than caffeine and sugar.
5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are KEY to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.
6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, CHROMIUM PICOLINATE, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium.
7. Herbs such as astragalus, CINNAMON, bitter melon, fenugreek, raw garlic (one of the best for blood pressure), ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and nopal cactus, can also provide significant benefits.
8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, and oxygen therapy.
9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health.
