Several years ago I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and lost a kidney as a result. Five years later they found a tumor where my kidney had been and when they removed the growth they also took the tail of my pancreas which I don't beleive had anything to do with my being diabetic, but I am Type 2. About 3 months ago my Doctor decided it was time to go on insulin as my daily glucose average was about 223 with a high of over 400. It was at this point I made up my mind to join a diet plan and start exercising. I eat maybe 1800 calories a day of good foods and exercise an average of 90 minutes a day. When I say exercise I mean a brisk walk. I get up at 4 am, walk on the tread mill for 30 to 40 minutes and then walk 4 miles in 45 minutes later in the day. My blood glusoce average is about 90 and 125 after a meal. I have been taken off my medication and feel like a million. It takes a lot of perseverance but the pay off is worth it. Not bad for a 62 year old male who was fond of all the wrong foods and enjoyed sitting infront of the tele for hours. It may not work for everyone but if it can work for me it has to work for others. From insulin to nothing is worth it all. Probably one of the biggest pluses is working for an outfit that has a wellness program.

In the survey conducted by the American diabetes Association, a mere 30 percent of men with diabetes who responded claimed to know "a lot" about their condition and only 25 percent reported eating nutritious meals.
So it is a must to educate everyone particularly men regarding diabetes and its complications http://healthy-ojas.com/diabetes/diabetes-details.html

I'm not diabetic, but I'm curious about how my body works so I have tested to see how different foods affect my blood sugar. Turns out it's the carbs, not the fats that raise it.

This is a great article. If this will not convince men to take notice of diabetes, I don't know what will. The website that the American Diabetes Association put up for men with diabetes will hopefully show them how to manage their condition. This way they may be able to avoid the complications.

Excellent information for all men with diabetes out there. Andy Mandell - Mr. Diabetes has been my inspiration when it comes to addressing the issues of diabetes self management. Maintaining your daily blood glucose levels and that all important A1C is the critical component of the self management of the disease and avoiding those very nasty complications that you mentioned. Losing weight (usually only 5 - 10% of your total weight), eating 3 servings of whole grains daily (oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat bread), 5 - 9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, and getting 30 minutes of physical activity - can keep a pre-diabetic from becoming diabetic and can also help control those insidious complications.
