Yeah but good protiens might be good for you, without exercise and a balanced diet you're not going to get a flat tummy.

We need to eat lots of good protiens right?

Good Proteins include: Chicken, turkey, most fish, milk (low fat), cheese (low fat) butter, eggs, and most veges.

oh for heavens sake there are no bloody magic tummy flatening food including eggs.

I suggest laying off the do I have a bridge to sell you web sites.

Also, spoke to my dietitian today and mentioned to eat scrabbled egg, so I looked up eggs and read that it makes your tummy flatter and gets rid of the tummy.

I'm not sure how true that would be? Could you have misinterpreted that?

Hey Miss, I think I could manage the "shoulder streches" and "double leg raises" but anything where I need to get up and down from the floor or on my knees (forget even thinking about crosssing my legs LOL) is definately out.

thanks for the link though I'm sure it will be helpful to some.

good luck doing ANY of that if you have nerve damage. a major side effect of being diabetic

walking is the best exercise for a diabetic with GOOD suportive and protective food wear.

I appreciate that you like to give advice Apples, but why are you assuming that they don't know how to care for themslves are not on medicction and haven't seen a Dr/specialist regarding their PCOS and metabolic syndrome?

my information comes directly from my diabetic doctor.
both your daughter and daughter inlaw should seriously consider seeing a diabetic doctor and considering very seriously medications to prevent damage to their bodies. at the very least regular blood tests for sugar cholesteral and blood pressure checks. keeping a watchful eye for any sensitivity to their hands or feet.
they are the ones who need to take the added risks seriously.

I'm sorry to hear you have PCOS, my daughter has this also and my daughter inlaw was recently diagnosed with metobolic syndrome. Not a good situation for a 24 year old.

The information I have posted was taken directly from webmed, and does clearly state that "Type 2 diabetes is believed to have a strong genetic link" not proven and "However, those at highest risk for the disease are those who are obese or overweight" and they list other "risk factors", the use of the term risk would suggest to me that they are relevant.

PCOS runs in my family I can trace it at least 3 generations. If you have a family or ethnic link even thin DO check your blood sugar every 6 months and seriously consider taking meds at the earliest signs. thin may prevent or delay it for some but NOT all. even with now perfect bloods my nerve damage is shocking and not reversable. be aware of the early signs and take steps to prevent damage.

I have read on several occassions, comments about diabetes and thought that this thread may help to explain what it is and who can get it I hope its helpful..

Who Gets Type 2 Diabetes?
Anyone can get type 2 diabetes. However, those at highest risk for the disease are those who are obese or overweight, and people who have metabolic syndrome (a cluster of problems that include high cholesterol, high triglycerides, low good 'HDL' cholesterol and a high bad 'LDL' cholesterol, and high blood pressure).
In addition, people who smoke, have inactive lifestyles, or have certain dietary patterns have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Health Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is believed to have a strong genetic link, meaning that it tends to run in families. Several genes are being studied that may be related to the cause of type 2 diabetes. If you have any of the following type 2 diabetes risk factors, it’s important to ask your doctor about a diabetes test. With a proper diabetes diet and healthy lifestyle habits, along with diabetes medication, if necessary, you can manage your type 2 diabetes just like you manage other areas of your life. Be sure to continue seeking the latest information on type 2 diabetes as you become your own health advocate.

Other type 2 diabetes risk factors include the following:

High blood pressure
High blood triglyceride (fat) levels
Gestational diabetes or giving birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
High-fat diet
High alcohol intake
Sedentary lifestyle
Obesity or being overweight
Ethnicity: Certain groups, such as African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Japanese Americans, have a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes than non-Hispanic whites.
Aging: Increasing age is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes begins to rise significantly at about age 45 years, and rises considerably after age 65 years.
