What things do people have to be careful of when losing weight?
I work as a professional organizer but one of my clients wants to lose weight. I have never went on a diet except for a diabetic one but never really needed to lose weight. I want to help be supportive of her & I could even coach others if this works out well....I don't want to help her lose weight & then have her gain it all back. Like Oparh, Not that Oprah is the only one but something happens some times when a person trys to lose weight & it just doesn't work....so how can a person lose some weight in a healthy way & not gain it back. If there are any good books on this subject I would appreciate the titles & I will read it & tell her to read it. Thanks.
Too many great answers for me to just pick one. I have read another book by McKenna so I look forward to reading the one mentioned. I really like the info/chart Count Acumen gave & the idea of going to a group for support is so important. Thanks to you all!
Brent and Shawnee who answered this question are perfect examples of why it is so hard for some people to know what needs to be done to lose weight. Here they are in YA pushing the Acai Berry diet and trying taking advantage of people's desperation. The world is filled with people trying to bank in on the obesity epidemic. Everybody it seems wants an easy solution to losing weight.
The best advice I can give you is listen to the REAL experts. That would be the collective voice of the medical community. That voice says to lose weight you must create a caloric deficit. In other words, take in less calories than you use to start losing weight. A calorie in, a calorie out. Just as simple as that and don't let anybody tell you any different.
Your friend needs to calculate how many calories she eats and how much she expends, and then how much of a calorie deficit she needs over what period of time to achieve her weight loss goals. She can eat less, exercise more, or do both in combination.
Understand that 3500 calories equals one pound of body fat and that a person needs at least 1400 calories a day to survive.

Is there a daycare in southern new jeresy for diabetic children?
A friend of mine is having a really hard time finding a place that will watch her newly diagnosed son. I only now of one medical daycare in this area, and they can't take him. If anyone knows a place in burlington or camden counties I would really appreciate any help!
Thanks!
I know that daycares have to take all children, but they won't, which is illegal but who has the time to act on it. Also she tried the social workers at the hospital and I have asked ones at my hospital, all nothing. It's just so sad that you have to sue to get your child into a daycare!
I doubt that there will be any "diabetic day cares ".
There may be people who understand diabetes well enough to care for your friends child.
For instance, check with a diabetes support group .
Even a teen group. My 17 yr old has had diabetes for 15 yrs.She babysits for a family with two children who have diabetes.
Check with the social workers at the hospital your friends child goes to.They may have some idea.
If it is a real daycare, they have to accept children with all sorts of medical conditions. They will have to learn to check blood sugars and give injections.

I bought a manual inflate arm cuff blood pressure monitor that gives out a digital reading. The pharmacist recommended it over the auto inflate b/c it was half the price and he said that would be the only difference. The reason i purchased one is b/c i'm pregnant and my BP has been in the 140's over 80's at my docs office lately. When i take my BP at home with this monitor, it's been in the 120's over 70's. It's made by HoMedics. Thanks!
The best way to be sure -- is to take your home meter with you on your next doctor visit and do a side-by-side comparison: his (or her) professional reading, and your home reading.
If the two readings are close to the same then your home meter is accurate; if they are not close, then your home meter is not accurate.

Reducing carbs to a more moderate level is usually the best way to go. Get yourself a copy of the South Beach Diet, and use the recipes and meal plans in it. You don't need to use the first phase, which is very drastic, but the second level would probably help get blood sugar down for most type 2s.
Medications might still be necessary, such as metformin. If its prescribed by your doctor, try taking it with yogurt, a no sugar added yogurt is best, as it won't jack up your blood sugar.
The metformin is likely to cause stomach problems at first and the yogurt usually stops this problem. Take the metformin with the yogurt before meals, with a full glass of water. Metformin is the gold standard in oral diabetes treatment for type 2. If dietary changes and metformin don't get blood sugar down to healthy levels, and the HbA1c down under 6.0, then consider asking for insulin.
Your doctor will decide on what treatment to start with, but ultimately, diet choices are up to the patient. The healthier the diet, the better. Eat lots of salads, and have lean meats, not fatty ones, avoid processed foods, white flours, and junk food, and also cut way back on fruit for a while.
Excercise such as walking is also helpful. Talk to your doctor about your choices.

My 7 yr old cat is diabetic, What is the best food, treatment, and how long can I expect him to live?
16 lb, indoor cat, on daily insulin
Hi there!
The best food is a canned food that is high in protein and low in carbohydrates. For more info, see the diet section at www.catinfo.org
Insulin combined with a proper diet is the best treatment. There are many insulins available, the most successful are PZI, Lantus/glargine and levemir. To make your treatment successful, cost effective and safe, hometesting is the best tool you can have.

Im nearly 10 weeks pregnant and have just been told that I have really low blood pressure and low sugar levels, will this have an effect on my baby and should I be worried?
This can be common during pregnancy, eat smaller, more frequent meals. That should help with the low blood sugar. As for the low B/P eating more frequently can actually help with that also. Some people have a lower blood pressure normally. Just keep in touch with your OBGYN and they will continue to monitor it.
