"However, both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics can see dramatic normalization of their blood sugars through controlling their diet. One diet in particular is "The Diabetic Diet" as described in the book of the same title as well as a more comprehensive book on blood glucose normalizations in the book Diabetes Solution [1] both of which are written by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein who has had Type 1 diabetes for the past 55 years (most Type 1's with diabetes diagnosed at this time are no longer alive). As diabetes can lead to many other complications as referenced below it is critical to maintain blood sugars as close to normal as possible and diet is the leading factor in this level of control. Dr. Bernstein shows through his own experiences and through research that lowering the amount of carbohydrates in a diabetics diet can reduce the amount of insulin required and improve the management of the disease signifigantly." This bit is obviously POV. There is a place for detailing Dr Bernstein's theories here but more wieght must be given to the moderate-carb, low-fat diet advocated by most diabetes professionals. I have edited to reflect this. Waifwaller 04:02, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
There is a point which is neither here nor in the main article on Diabetes Mellitus, on hypoglycemia. This article simply states that many diabetics can recognise signs of low blood sugar, and know that when this happens, it is time to eat or to drink something sweet which will increases blood glucose levels, such as sugar. I would like to suggest that some one with expertise on these matters also adds that after taking quick-acting carbohydrate (such as a sugary drink), diabetics should then follow this with a slow release, long-acting carbohydrate, such as rye bread or currant loaf. This is because, although quick-acting carbohydrates will raise blood sugars quickly, if they are not followed in this way blood sugars are likely to dip again, thereby increasing the likelihood of future hypoglycaemia. Perhaps a wiki-link to the article on the glycemic index would help to clarify how there are differences between long-acting and short-acting carbohydrates. ACEO 19:47, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
There was not a lot of information here about the diet recommended for diabetics. This is rather a big topic - there are hordes of books on this subject, and plenty of material on the World-Wide Web - so I have started a new article on this topic, which I consider wide enough to justify its own article. For example, while the section on diet here merely seems to recommend carbohydrate counting, I have stressed the importance of dietary fibre in this newer article. ACEO 18:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I have called the article "Diet_for_Diabetics", and it should be available on the website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_for_Diabetics Alternatively, you could type "List of Diets" into your screen. This will take you to a list of diets, including a heading "Diet for Diabetics", and you could click on that. ACEO 19:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for doing this, and also for spotting the typing error in my original contribution. This is just to let you know that as the initiator of the article on diets for diabetics, yes, I am quite happy about the title change. I am based in the United Kingdom, too, and perhaps we should stick to conventional vocabulary. ACEO 19:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
The reason for the low carb diets can be explained "Carbohydrates are simply long chains of sugar molecules (glucose) hooked end-to-end. When you eat carbohydrates your normal digestive process breaks up these chains into the individual sugar molecules, and they pass right through your intestinal wall into your bloodstream, and load up your bloodstream with sugar." Thus, by lowering the amount of carbs eaten does relieve the diabetic strain and lowers their blood sugar. Article found on diabetes diet site. * [1] WSNRFN ( talk) 22:31, 27 October 2008 (UTC)WSNRFN
On 16 May 2006 I added this text:
...and reference:
It was quickly removed by Davidruben, with the comment Was a prev attempt add info/link to diabetes mellitus, but a positive pilot study is not verified proof (& shouldn't use to assert that 'particularly effective') - full published study might be.
It's acceptable to mention ongoing research, especially research that has received media attention. The information is not presented as verified proof, just as a pilot study. It's relevant to the article, so I am reinserting.
Re the expression "particularly effective," I've re-read the source and agree this is not justified, so I have removed that expression. -- Singkong2005 talk 11:56, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I find this article to be very confused between T1 and T2. Both are mentioned, but the facts are often out of context.
I suggest we recognize that 90% of diabetics are T2, and that this article is intended for them. Perhaps in the intro, we should point management of T1 to conventional or intensive insulin therapy and then focus the rest of the article on management of T2 with diet, exercise, oral medications if needed, and lastly insulin if needed.
If not, then I suggest each subject is split into T1 and T2 specific information.
IMO this is the cleanup needed. Mbbradford 20:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I've done a quick and tentative cleanup of the article structure, and tried to group information "Like with like" in sections, whereas some of it was scattered in other sections or in parallel points in different sections. I've made very few textual edits though, its almost entirely just restructure of existing content. Specifically:
I have made very few textual changes, and left the vast majority of existing text intact save a couple of places where obvious changes were visible. Hopefully it has helped, at least somewhat. There are two subsections marked "stub" if someone can add content for them They are brief summaries of "issues needing management", and "modern approaches". FT2 ( Talk | email) 03:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Link #76 goes to some lame advertising bot website, does anyone have a link to the original article or study that should be here? This seems to be a crucial hinge reference for the section it comes from.
The benefits of exercise are well known, , they are included in the general article about diabetes (alhough they should be maybe more emphasized). What we need here is a reference that describes how exercise is integrated in diabetes management schemes. Andreas (T) 17:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I just added the section of Academic resources based on the topic of Academic publishing. However since there is no standard for me to follow up, the content may not be agreed by others. Therefore, I welcome people to grade-up/down the content -- 165.228.190.54 ( talk) 05:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
There is a section in this article on the HbAlc, but it does not explain how the figure obtained with this can be converted to average blood sugar levels over the past three months. The Nathan formula says that we can convert HbAlc to average blood sugar by this formula:
HbALc = x;
Multiply this figure by 33 and subtract 86 - one will need to divide this by 18 to get the figure used in the United Kingdom.
I wonder whether we could put greater clarity on what the HbAlc means in this article. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 14:58, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
If you want a citation for the Nathan formula, here is one. It is discussed on:
Note that this website says you do not multiply the figure by 33 exactly, but by 33.3; however, it is claimed that the formula is off a little on a discussion on this website. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 15:09, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
As a diabetic myself who went for a 'flu vaccine this morning (October 18), I noticed that by doctor's waiting room had leaflets saying that diabetics are at increased risk of 'flu. If this is the case, meaning that they would have increased risk of vaccines against influenza, it could be mentioned in the article. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 15:05, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
The following sentence (at the end of the introduction to the Blood sugar level section) contains twelve footnotes:
Some edible mushrooms are noted for the ability to lower blood sugar levels including Reishi, [1] [2] Maitake [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Agaricus blazei [9] [10] [11] [12] as well as some others.

This bombardment with footnotes not only makes the sentence nearly impossible to read, but it also undermines rather than reinforces the credibility of the information being presented.
The statement would be much more effective with three or four citations from mainstream medical literature than with twelve citations of sources whose credibility and objectivity are impossible for the reader to evaluate – but some of which, like Journal of nutritional science and vitaminology, don't sound either objective or mainstream.
I'm not a physician, a chemist or any other kind of expert in the field of treating diabetes with mushrooms. I'm just a reader looking for information, and the overwhelming number of obscure looking citations causes me to doubt the reliability of the information.
If I had seen three or four footnotes in this sentence – regardless of how reliable or objective the sources looked – I would have accepted the statement as probably reliable and continued to read the article. But the excessive number of footnotes was like a red flag, causing me immediately to come here and raise it.-- Jim10701 ( talk) 03:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I do not know if this is the right page to include this in but in patients using a continuous glucose monitor GMI is now used instead of HbA1C to indicate diabetes management. Maybe this should be its own article or be included here with a redirect Dimitribiemond ( talk) 15:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

But the excessive number of footnotes was like a red flag, causing me immediately to come here and raise it.-- Jim10701 ( talk) 03:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I do not know if this is the right page to include this in but in patients using a continuous glucose monitor GMI is now used instead of HbA1C to indicate diabetes management. Maybe this should be its own article or be included here with a redirect Dimitribiemond ( talk) 15:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
