What do chiropractors believe about diabetes control?
I know that they are an alternative medicine type doctor, and that they can't write prescriptions, which for a doctor sounds a little suspicious to me, but wondered specifically what a chiropractor doctor believed about diabetes control? Do they believe support insulin for treatment or have the belief that diabetes can be controlled with back adjustments and a better diet?
How do I get back into better diabetes control?
I have had juvenile diabetes since I was 3 years old I am now 20 . Up until I went to college, I was in very good control. My doctors were always very impressed, and it really wasn't that hard for me to keep my numbers within range. Then, I went to college when I was 18 and everything just fell apart. My A1C's have skyrocketed, and I try to change but I just can't. I feel so out of control and overwhelmed. The slightest, easiest things before seem like such a chore. My numbers are all over the place, and I can feel it in my body. This has been going on now, pretty consistently, for the past 2 years. What can I do to motivate myself to change? I don't want to die this way...

Diabetes: Control daily sugar intake?what is ur comment????
DIABETES cases in the country are reaching alarming proportions. At the Dewan Rakyat last week, it was mentioned that at least 11 out of every 100 Malaysians suffer from this disease. Over the last five years, there has been a 27 per cent increase in the number of diabetes cases.The number of children afflicted with diabetes is also showing an upward trend, with 1,305 cases reported in 2004 compared with 837 in 1999. Diabetes Type 2 is strongly linked to high sugar consumption and obesity. In view of our country's alarming diabetes rate, which is expected to rise steadily, urgent steps need to be taken.The Consumers' Association of Penang urges the Health Ministry to work with other ministries to take the following action To require manufacturers to amend their labels to show the amount of sugar in their food. This information must be understood easily by consumers. The sugar content could be shown graphically in terms of the number of teaspoons of sugar. One teaspoon is equivalent to 5g. The guideline on sugar consumption is that it should not exceed 50g a day. Daily sugar intake can come from many sources. CAP has found that some products, such as certain brands of fizzy drinks, contain about seven teaspoons of sugar. The consumption of just one can of this drink in a day will result in a person's sugar consumption almost reaching the maximum limit. With this improved labelling, consumers can see the amount of sugar they are consuming and adjust their habits accordingly.Parents must play their role in ensuring that highly sugared products and sweets are not stocked in their homes. An environment that is conducive for individuals to make healthy lifestyle choices should be created. This is critical when it comes to the younger generation.
