    Almost my entire family suffers from diabetes all except me.



    I seem to have episodes of having low blood sugar which makes it difficult for me to stay focus studying and working.



    I;ve been tested for diabete a lot times, which I always come up not having.



    I need to know some easy to fix meals for breakfeast/lunch/dinner, which will enable me to stay focus all during the way.

    Just carbs. Pasta bread rice. also proteins. Its difficult to pick up on low blood sugar- mine is 60 all day. Not fun. Best luck. Avoid sugar like the plague.

    My mom is a diabetic, type 2.

    I went to the nutritionist with her this summer. She told mom that she had to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks. She has to watch the amount of carbs taken in at each meal, no more than 2 at each meal. The meals need to be eated at regular intervals.

    The size of the portions had to be regulated, no bigger than the palm of her had.



    Keep some peanuts close by. Protien helps regualte blood sugar also string cheese. Also watch your Soda (pop) consumption. Eat fresh fruit regularly, too.

    have your fav cereal with milk and a piece of fruit for breakfast...for lunch have something like salmon salad (it's made like tuna salad, but without all the mercury in the fish) on whole grain bread...for supper have something like pizza (i use pizza as an example because it has something from the bulk food groups on the food pyramid) and drink lots of water of course...make certainly to snack between breakfast and lunch and again in the afternoon after lunch...then if you still notice getting too low, keep candy close by (peppermint twists or lifesavers are wonderful choices) and have one piece at first...if one piece doesn't aid with the memory and focusing problem, have another...you should be using a glucose monitor to check regularly even if you're not diabetic...just because you aren't hyperglycemic doesn't mean you're not diabetic...it just means that you're HYPOglycemic (meaning you have lows instead of highs)...you seem to know when you're low though...and you could also drink juice like orange juice, or any fruit juice...hope this helps...

    Eating three periods a day may be the problem. Eating fewer calories per serving but consuming more frequently MAY control and increase your glucose levels more effeciently. You also MAY need to increase your complex carbohyrdate intake, you know: wheat bread, wheat pasta..things with fiber.



    You also may need to cut back on your candy and simple sugar intake? Sounds funny right?



    WHY? consuming more complex carbs not only slows down digestion but also prevents your insulin from spiking during rest/digestion.



    Eating shit like candy all the time, although you're hypoglycemic you're increasing the insulin in your blood. when insulin enhances it gets rid of sugar. So by consuming sugar your insulin is expelling some of the sugar into your muscles but also it's removing it from the body and turing some into triglycerides.

    Whole grain bread and cereal helps stabilize blood/sugar. They digest and turn into sugar slowly.

    The symptoms according to the Canadian Journal Of Diabetes are Hunger, Nausea, Weakness, Headache, Sweating, Irritability, Shaking, Confusion. This is called hypoglycemia. Check with your Dr. He may be able to obtain you an appointment with a dietitian who can aid you set up the proper meal scheme for you.
