Hi deb,

You're right. If you look at the whole line it says the grilled shrimp is grilled or sauteed.

Thank you, I appreciate your information and help so much but I am concerned about "raw shrimp". They are scavengers already, and I'm sure you didn't mean "raw" also. Thank you

Hi Paula,

Diet is so important to those who have diabetes, however, there are different philosophies on the best dietary approach. I recommend you talk to your doctor for his recommendation. One thing to consider is that a diabetic diet is a healthy diet, and will help your mom to lose weight. As that happens, her cholesterol and blood pressure will probably come back down too.

Hi Paula,

In many cases, Type 2 diabetes can be controled through better nutrition, weight loss, increased physical activity, and regular checkups with your health care team. The same holds true for lowing your cholesterol and high blood pressure. Not one plan works for every person, so it is best to check with your doctor for his recommendations. However these guidelines may help:

Follow a consistent meal plan and schedule.
Eat a varied but balanced diet that includes:
- fruits
- vegetables
- whole grain foods
- low-fat dairy products
- lean meat, poultry, fish or meat alternatives
Make lower fat choices and restrict saturated fats.
Incorporate lower sugar options if available.
Be informed, check nutrition labels.
Eat fiber. The American Dietetic Association recommends 20-35 grams per day.
Drink plenty of water.
Use less salt.

Hi Fran,

That's a good question. Too much potassium is known as hyperkalemia. Those who suffer from hyperkalemia may show symptoms like:

anxiety
irritability
stomach cramps
diarrhea
overall weakness
muscle spasms
slow, weak pulse

If potassium is too low, it is known as hypokalemia. Symptoms may include:

sluggish thinking
very dry skin
depression
swollen abdomen
loss of appetite
edema
nervousness
irregular heart beat
muscle weakness
headaches
erratic pulse

The reason for concern on the part of your health care provider is that high potassium levels often result from kidney damage which is the result of poorly controlled diabetes. High potassium can also happen when a diabetic has experienced diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This is a serious metabolic condition that is more often seen in people with Type 1 diabetes. Other things that can contribute to high potassium levels include:

heart attack
injuries
infections
overuse of potassium supplements
use of ACE inhibitor drugs

With all this in mind, I suggest you talk over your diet specifics with your doctor.

I was told that I am borderline diabetic 114, but they also said my potassium is a little elevated. When I looked at foods to avoid if you have too much potassium and then looked at the food to eat for diabetics they were very similar. I'm very confused on what to do. If you have any ideas that can help I'd appreciate it.

Hi Beverly,

It's a good idea to check with your doctor, because a microalbumin test checks urine for the presence of a protein called albumin which is usually found in the blood and filtered by the kidneys. If the kidneys are working properly, albumin is not present in the urine. Traces of albumin leak into the urine when the kidneys are damaged. This is most often caused by kidney damage from diabetes. Check with your doctor to see if he thinks further tests need to be run or if you diet can be contributing to the higher count.

I have Type 2 diabetes and have been on a high protein diet for many months. My A1C's have always been under 7 but the latst one was 7.8. A urinalysis detected microalbumin. Could this be in part caused by my high protein diet?

Probably not Julie. Honey affects your blood sugar the same as sugar does. Any honey products should be used with caution. The best idea is to disciss it with your doctor.
