4ft HEALTH Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. Diet for diabeth By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB — I am a diabetic and have been for 10 years. 1 use 30 units of Lente and eight units of Ultralente insulin each morning. I have been called a yo-yo diabetic because my monthly blood test results in a count from a low of 55 to as high as 400. Even though I am extreme ly careful of what I eat and get what I consider a reasonable amount of exercise, the numbers come up high and this is most alarming to me. My doctor says not to worry, but I do. Is there a guaranteed diet to follow? I hear so much about fructose, lactose, dextrose and all the rest that I am con fused. What causes the ex tremes in sugar count even though the diet doesn't change? I’m 51, female, 5 feet tall and weigh 120 pounds. Since I’m a shorty I would like to take off some weight but this is difficult being a diabetic and subject to insulin shock. How can I lose weight without the risk of insulin shock? My diet consists of fish, chicken, vegetables, and an occasional lamb or beef meal. Ten years ago my weight was 102 pounds. Thank you for any advice you can give. DEAR READER - A diabetic s life has to be fairly well regulated in terms of diet, activity, and even ex posure to stress to have a con stant blood sugar level if the diabetes has progressed to the point that insulin must be us ed. The best advice I can give you with your story is to eliminate all starches, and all sweets. Give up milk, too. Why? To get rid of all the ready sources of glucose. All of the starches and sugars are converted to simple sugars (monosaccharides) in the small intestine before they can be absorbed. If you con sume foods that are rapidly fez POLLY'S POINTERS 1 Polly Cramer Tip for tea in sunshine POLLY'S PROBLEM DEAR POLLY — Both my husband and I enjoy reading the column every day. We were interested in a Pointer from Vivian that told about putting tea in a jar and in the sun to make the tea. We have a couple of questions concerning this. How much loose tea or how many tea bags are used in a gallon jar? Do you use hot or cold water in the jug? How long is it left in the sun? Do you make the tea and then put it in the sun or just put the jar with water and tea bags in the sun? We would certainly like to know more about this. — MARY L. DEAR MARY L. — The amount of tea one regularly uses for the amount of water the jug holds and then a bit more added because of the ice that will be put in the tea. Tap water is used and there would be no point in putting it in the sun if it was made beforehand. Leave in the sun until tea looks as strong as you like it. Use a glass jar and the time required will depend on the heat of the sun. - POLLY. DEAR POLLY — Thrifty wrote that she was looking for a useful place for her small appliances that need repair. She should contact the high schools in her area as many of them offer students a class in appliance repair and would ap- ’ preciate such a donation. — JOAN. DEAR POLLY — When new shoes or purses have an odor in them put some of your favorite chewing gum on the inside Unwrap it, of course, and leave in the shoes or purse for about 48 hours Sometimes patients in nursing homes get into the wrong room by mistake so I have made name tags that can be at tached to their clothing. The proper room number is alsc on the tag so it is easy for an aide to get a ‘‘lost” patient back to the room where he belongs When tennis shoes get muddy let the mud dry before trying to clean them. When dry most of it peels right off. When washing sneakers use an old but stiff toothbrush and warm soapy water. — LUCINDA. Polly will send you one of her signed thank-you newspaper coupon clippers if she uses your favorite Pointer, Peeve or Problem in her column. Write POLLY’S POINTERS in care of this newspaper.

To follow such a diet you must get some additional bulk someplace. You may be able to use some whole wheat bread or simply eat some but limited amounts of cereal con taining bran. You will also need a replacement for calcium that you should get in your milk. The resulting diet that severely limits starches and sugars will be slowly absorbed from the small intestine. That will help to avoid the peaks and valleys in blood sugar, and may make it possible to regulate. your insulin dosage to a better level for you. Some insulin taking diabetics have been able to decrease the amount of insulin required markedly by eating a diet dependent upon raw fruits and vegetables, plus meats but devoid of starches and sugars. I am sending you The Health Letter number 3-11, Diabetes, Diagnosis, Preven tion and Management. Others who want this issue can send 50 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to P.O. Box 1551, Radio City Station, New York, NY 10019. As the letter stresses, con sistency is important. Even your exercise must be about the same. To help you with your weight control I would suggest you use repeated short walks spread out over the day and then stick to that schedule. (Because of the volume of mail Dr. Lamb cannot answer your letters personally but he will answer representative letters of general interest in his column.)
