My girlfriend is diabetic and I've taken a some readings using her meter. I am trying to follow a low carb diet but my fasting blood sugar is around 115 but this drops to around 85 1 hour after a low carb breakfast. Should I be worried ?

Health is about personal responsibility, and until your mom is willing to learn and make adjustments, all you can really do is lead by example, show her (and tell her) you love her and offer your support when she is ready.

My mom is type 2 diabetic. She does not take care of herself! She gets sicker each day as well has a very hard time walking because her feet are so bad. Here is the problem, she drinks coffee all day long with 4 sugar in each cup. She is always eating something with chocolate. I have told her a thousand times it is killing her but i always get " Stop harping on me. who is the mom here" she does not listen to me about how serious her surgar intake can be on her body. Please I need you to tell her in terms she can understand because she does not understand docters terms how serious her diet is. I almost need someone to scare the heck out of her to make her understand!! I love my mom with all my heart and soul and it is killing me to see her so sick when there is something she can do about it!!! Please help!!!!!!!!!!!! Dearest Mark,

My fasting glucose is 97 and very alarmed with it. I'm trying to get pregnant but with no success for more than a year now and my ob-gyn said, it could be because of insulin resistance. I'm physically active, working out 45mins, 6 days/week and have totally cut out wheat/gluten, sugar, caffeine, processed food in my diet since Jan 2009. We have the diabetic genetic factor, however. I'm going for Primal living because all I've read here makes a lot of sense. I thank the internet Gods for directing me to Mark’s website, especially this article.
