Last night i have myself a bit of a treat.
7:30 PM Started eating

Raviolis = about 12 - about 105gms carbs - that is much more than i thought
it would be.

Italian Bread about 5 inch = not sure carb count.

Sauce = not sure

Lamb Shank = not sure :).

the pagage says about 35gms carb for 4 raviolis.

ok the numbers are in

9:30 pm - 2 hour mark - 142 <-- i also ate 3 more ravioli and 2 inch of
italin bread

10:30 pm 3 hour mark  - 144

11:30pm 4 hour mark - 143

12:30am 5 hour mark - 146

1:15AM = 137

not great numbers but when you look at the meal :).
sure makes me happy i can do that once and a while.

The key word is once in a while.  I had holiday dinner and at two hours
I was about the same as you were, and I could live that way  considering
I had a half of a ice cream filled crepe for dessert.

Thank good our taste buds have memories of their own...that dessert
will hold you for quite some time.

It reminds me of the line from the movies Risky Business "Sometimes in
life you gotta say , "What the f***"

Boy that's the truth. I use really terrible language when I'm home by
myself, so I say that quite often actually, especially getting close to
the elections and some of the nonsense that is on the news channels
right now. :-) Hope you're having a good day Kurt.

Sounds good to me Tom. Glad you enjoyed it, and once in awhile is fine
IMO. I had a few pizza toppings, green beans with almonds, and Diet
Pepsi. I didn't test, because I didn't feel like testing. :-)

Considering that damage occurs at those numbers, you're not doing yourself

I've read that damage occurs over 160, but I think I only read that in
here.  Do you have any cites that say damage is going to occur after
140?

Hi Kurt,

Hier is the official consensus statement of The American College of
Endocrinology with 50+ literature references :

http://www.aace.com/meetings/consensus/dcc/pdf/dccwhitepaper.pdf#search=%22%22EN
DOCRINE%20PRACTICE%20%22%20%2Bconsensus%20%2BGlycemic%22


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ The American College of Endocrinology Consensus
+

+ The consensus panel recommends 2-hour postprandial blood glucose level of
<140 mg/dL.+

+ The consensus panel recommends HbA1c values of < 6.5%
+

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Indeed, investigators have suggested that postprandial glycemia may better
correlate with HbA1c levels than fasting glycemia (28). In subjects without
diabetes, blood glucose levels typically peak approximately 1 hour after the
start of a meal and return to preprandial levels within 2 to 3 hours; 2-hour
postprandial blood glucose levels rarely exceed 140 mg/dL (39,40).
Therefore, the consensus panel recommends a treatment-targeted 2-hour
postprandial blood glucose level of <140 mg/dL.

Hemoglobin A1c Target

In the epidemiologic analysis of the UKPDS data, the risk for occurrence of
microvascular and macrovascular complications was shown to increase at HbA1c
values of 6.5% or more (6).

ENDOCRINE PRACTICE Vol 8 (Suppl 1) January/February 2002

American College of Endocrinology Consensus Statement on Guidelines for
Glycemic Control

Question 1. What is the goal of diabetes management?

The goal of diabetes management is the prevention of acute and chronic
complications of diabetes mellitus. Traditional chronic complications of
diabetes are viewed as the microvascular complications of diabetes,
including retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Nevertheless, the
macrovascular complications of diabetes are more prevalent and are the major
cause of disability and death in patients with diabetes.

Question 2. To what extent does glycemic control attain that goal?

Large-scale, randomized, prospective trials of various interventional
therapies in patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have clearly
shown that reductions in hyperglycemia significantly decrease the
microvascular complications of diabetes. Attempts at primary prevention of
both eye and kidney disease by intensive diabetes management in the Diabetes
Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) (8) and in the Kumamoto Study (9)
reduced the incidence of these complications by 50 to 70%. In the intensive
treatment cohort of the UKPDS, the incidence of microvascular complications
was reduced by 25% (10). In general, all trials demonstrated a 30 to 35%
reduction in microvascular complications per 1% absolute reduction of
glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).An epidemiologic analysis of the data from the
UKPDS failed to demonstrate a threshold above which microvascular
complications occur (6). In both the UKPDS and the DCCT, any reduction in
high HbA1c levels was associated with a decrease in the risk of
microvascular complications of diabetes. In both the UKPDS and the DCCT, a
trend toward a significant reduction in macrovascular complications was
noted. In the overweight cohort of the UKPDS, a significant reduction in the
incidence of macrovascular complications was achieved with metformin therapy
only (11). An epidemiologic analysis of the entire patient population
receiving intensive treatment, however, revealed a significant 14% reduction
in macrovascular complications for every 1% reduction in HbA1c (6). Fasting
plasma glucose, postchallenge glucose, and postprandial glucose levels have
been significantly associated with microvascular and macrovascular
complications in several cross-sectional and prospectively followed
epidemiologic studies. The associations have been most significant with
regard to the classic microvascular complication of retinopathy and, to a
lesser extent, nephropathy (12,13). The relationships between glycemia and
macrovascular complications are more controversial. In general, many studies
have noted significant associations of postchallenge and postprandial
glycemia with

Thanks Gys,

They mainly talk about a1c levels which represents an average and
perhaps a consistant 6.5% bg.  I'd like to see a qualified scientific
report that definitively states that if our blood sugar goes over 140
even for a brief period of time, that damage occurs.

But I really appreciate you taking the time to posting this link and I
thought it was very much worth reading.

Thanks.

Hi All

There is a lot in that paper and the links. Gys highlighted
a section but you may have missed it's significance. I'll
give a slightly expanded version of the quote from the
bottom of page 8:

"Independent of complications per se, diabetes control
targeting postprandial hyperglycemia proved more effective
than use of fasting hyperglycemia in reducing HbA1c
levels in pregnant and nonpregnant patients with type 2
diabetes (27,28). Indeed, investigators have suggested that
postprandial glycemia may better correlate with HbA1c
levels than fasting glycemia (28). In subjects without
diabetes, blood glucose levels typically peak approximately
1 hour after the start of a meal and return to preprandial
levels within 2 to 3 hours; 2-hour postprandial blood
glucose levels rarely exceed 140 mg/dL (39,40). Therefore,
the consensus panel recommends a treatment-targeted 2-hour
postprandial blood glucose level of <140 mg/dL."

Add that comment to this one from the ADA's "GOALS OF
MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY FOR DIABETES"
http://care.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/25/suppl_1/s50

"Goals of medical nutrition therapy that apply to all
persons with diabetes are as follows:
1. Attain and maintain optimal metabolic outcomes including
   * Blood glucose levels in the normal range or as close
to normal as is safely possible to prevent or reduce the
risk for complications of diabetes."

Let's put that together.

The American College of Endocrinology makes it clear that
"In subjects without diabetes, <snip> 2-hour postprandial
blood glucose levels rarely exceed 140 mg/dL"

and the ADA says we should maintain "Blood glucose levels in
the normal range or as close to normal as is safely
possible".

Seems pretty clear to me, even without all the other
studies.

Of course, the patients may have exceeded 140 before the
2-hour test. That's why it helps to read other papers
including those noted on Jenny's excellent page.
Additionally, the personal experiments by Derek Paice are
worth reading in parallel with those studies looking at
post-prandial excursions in type 2. You can find his report
here http://dapaice.com/DiabetesAndDiet.pdf

Another aspect that should be a concern for the OP is that,
while his numbers only marginally rose over 140 - they
stayed elevated for over six hours after eating. There has
not been a lot of study of the "area under the curve" - but
Derek Paice and others I've read suggest that a long
sustained moderate BG excursion over 140 may be even more
dangerous than a short sharp spike.

Personally, I attempt to avoid both situations. It's the
Irish in me, belt and braces, to be sure, to be sure...

I honestly worry about him.  It hasn't been that long since his "cannoli"
event and it seems as if "ravioli" night may be a frequent event at his
house.  Given  that it seems that he regularly eats 200-300g of carbs a day,
the workload on his beta cells may be considerable.  I wonder if this is the
reason some doctors think that all T2s ought to be on some kind of meds.

I know what you mean, Roger, but given the malice he exudes, and the
gross insensitivity he displays.....  maybe it would be a good thing
for him, for his more complete development as a human being,  to feel
the gripping and crippling pain of unrelenting diabetes, if indeed he
is a diabetic at all. We cannot save people from themselves.

Sigh.  Will, I was wondering who hijacked your screen name.  Now this.
Are you claiming to be above as you say, repetative flamboyance,
emotional pettiness etc etc?

I'm very sorry to see this side of you.  I have no particular

Hi Laura, I do not *wish* anything for Tom... It is a waste of time to
wish anything for a person like Tom. You miss the point of my post...
Seriously, I expect some of us will  be reading about his agony in a
few years, that is, unless he changes his posting moniker again,  but
that is OK... Maybe someone else will ridicule him.... Rather like
those in Dante's Inferno, in the Seventh Ring of Hell... In the
meantime, I sincerely hope he enjoys what quality of life he has
left... Want some more carbs, Tom... How about another helping of
ravioli?

Maybe Kurt will be around to give him some shots.

Tick, tick, tick goes the clock....

I think that's a really ugly thing to say Will. Tom posted his

the "good will" he has worked so hard to earn. Let the chips fall....

he can wish all he wants on me.  for a $1000 i can make it happen to him.

Tom,
Folks have come to your defense.  Please don't lower yourself to
making threats.  It's unnecessary, and very unbecoming.  You really
don't have to let one hurt become another.  You can rise above this.
Please, be the bigger man this time.  Don't allow your hurt feelings
to evolve into another round where you say things that make you look
worse than the one who initially insulted you.  You don't have to rise
to the bait.  You truly don't.  You CAN be stronger than that.

Sorry, cheri

The only reason I was seeing Tom is because others were copying his
posts... just the way they do for the Chung posts...Tom has been in my
KF for over a month.  Don't worry it is all perfectly preserved with
accurate attribution for law enforcement.

Nobody, except a total bozo, would think anyone but Tom made the
threat to have me killed for $1,000.00. The lucky thing for me is that
the Feds monitor this group, along with many others, or I might be
worried.

Maybe I can take some small comfort in that we have flushed out a
potential criminal tonight.

That is how it came through my KF... all I got was your headers, not
Tom's. I tried to copy only what Tom posted, not you....

Anyway, if there is to be a prosecution coming out of this little
comedy, you will not be implicated, except as a bystander. I have
already checked and verified the info. It is preserved electronically
correctly where it counts....

he's certainly no worse, than Tom, you, me or anyone else who posts
here.

And Tom is no victim here, he has posted far worse to many other
posters here.  Although Tom is enjoying his role as professional
victim.

Tom's karma may come back to bite him.  Warning him of this is not the
same as wishing it on him.

I'm staying out of the argument - but please, let's be
accurate. Neither was particularly pleasant.

These are the relevant sections from them both:

Will:

" I know what you mean, Roger, but given the malice he
exudes, and the gross insensitivity he displays.....  maybe
it would be a good thing for him, for his more complete
development as a human being,  to feel the gripping and
crippling pain of unrelenting diabetes, if indeed he
is a diabetic at all. We cannot save people from
themselves."

and later:

Hi Laura, I do not *wish* anything for Tom... It is a waste
of time to wish anything for a person like Tom. You miss the
point of my post...
Seriously, I expect some of us will  be reading about his
agony in a few years, that is, unless he changes his posting
moniker again,  but that is OK... Maybe someone else will
ridicule him.... Rather like those in Dante's Inferno, in
the Seventh Ring of Hell... In the meantime, I sincerely
hope he enjoys what quality of life he has left... Want some
more carbs, Tom... How about another helping of
ravioli?

Maybe Kurt will be around to give him some shots"

Not pleasant, but while he implied a self-inflicted shorter
and more painful life he did not "wish DEATH".

Tom was less wordy - but more disquieting:

"he can wish all he wants on me.  for a $1000 i can make it
happen to him."

Both should regret those offensive posts, and both should
unreservedly apologise.

If saying that means I'm acting like a "hall monitor" so be
it. Of course, none of us can force either to do anything.

Thanks, Alan, for the reminder of what was actually said.

First, I never wished anything for Tom, good or ill... What he does
with his own life via his lifestyle choices is his own business.

So, there, Tom, I am willing to let it all pass as a meaningless
episode... I hope for only good health and a long life for you. You
should be aware, however,  that you did commit what may be regarded as
prosecutable crimes, both State and Federal, last night, and if you
are prosecuted, it will have nothing to do with me. I will not be the
one to turn you in. If you want to know if I am serious, yes I am...
serious as a heart attack.

Second, in my opinion, from what I have read in his posts,  I suspect
Tom may have gloomy prospects, but I am not his doctor. Maybe Tom is
not really telling the whole business of what is going on with him. I
do not know, and I do not care...As I suggested, maybe he is not even
a diabetic... It does not matter.  Because I expect Tom to undergo a
character building  process as a result of his own behaviours and
choices  in no way implies  ill "wishes" on my part... Indeed,
whatever shall befall the gantlet will be of his own making, quite
independently of what I or anyone else may think...

If some take exception to my observations regarding Tom's history of
exuding malice and gross insensitivity... people can read for
themselves, and I make absolutely no apology. As he said one time
himself, his posts "speak for themselves."

Hi Will

That's OK.

We seem to use different dictionaries when understanding
"unreserved".

Wishing you both well.

Thanks, Alan... I make no reservations.. It is all first come, first
served. I never had any specific ill wishes for Tom, at all....
Really, I did not, and I do not now.

Seriously, I have nothing to apologize for... If some take offense at
what I have posted, perhaps they are  confusing emotion and  fact. As
David Hume noted,  in the 18th century,  emotion and reason are
independent of each other.

Tom is what he is and that is that... I am what and who I am... and
the irrational and shrill crazies and their sock puppets are who and
what  they are... It really does not matter. Solicitation of murder
for hire is a very serious offense in the U.S., though, especially
when amounts and sums of cash are mentioned... We may quit hearing
from Tom.  Maybe he'll come back this time as "wolverine", or perhaps
"canem", or perhaps "komoto dragon"...  He has already used up
"copulator".

I do think Tom would be well advised to consult a lawyer, however, but
that is his call.

Hope you are having a very nice day in Australia.

this guy is a wacko

just as smart.
so please if you trust him and his friends more than your doctor i think you
would be better
off finding a new doctor.

So why do you continuously engage the ASD idiot called Tom Gantlet?
Just KFile the boob and be done with it.  He appears to have little
trouble in pressing your buttons to where you explode like a land
mine.  For a claimed big time attorney, displaying such a short fuse
is disquieting.  I would hate to see what a capable attorney could do
with your short fuse in a civil case.  Ignore the boob.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your concern. Actually, I am somewhat detached from the
whole thing, right now, and Tom has been in my KF for over a month. I
only see what he writes as they are copied and reposted by others,
somewhat as bird droppings across a  footpath.

By the way, all of my trials are public... You are welcome to come
anytime. I would be honored if you want to attend someday.

If you would like, I can send you an email telling when one is coming
up that you might find interesting.

ok, ok first i must ad a buffer and then get to the point.
isnt that PC?

here is my buffer.

From reading your posts about what you do with your diabetes.
i think you are living proof that most newbies are better off working
with doctors.
Sorry to say tho like most other self-proclaimed diabetic experts you are
stubburn
and stupid and that is the cause for most of the problems you have posted
about.
i dont really know if you would call them problems more like things that
confuse you but still
you come out thinking you actually understand.  Not the same as Alan,  he
seems to make more errors
in his posts you just make stupid mistakes in the way you think.
anyway the reason for this post.
I just wanted to say.. good post.
could you imagine this looney with the short fuze in a trial lol.
yelling at the Judge " I will server you up some to if you want"  lol or one
of the other many wacko things
he has said in the past.

One thing some may not realize, however, is that the mere
communication of that type of threat as a solicitation to commit
murder for hire over the internet or telephone, itself, is a serious
felony, and is subject to Federal prosecution, and substantial
incarceration is prescribed as the punishment therefor. The
contemplated act does not have to be carried out to complete all of
the elements of the offense and render one subject to prosecution and
imprisonment.

Well, Roger, after doing a little analysis and checking, I concluded
that this "nancy" person is likely someone else who is also a party to
this thread under another name... This is the first time he/she has
ever posted anywhere with this particular identity... No history ever.
I have my suspicions of who the person is, but I shall let it drop
there.... Generally, the appearance of sock puppets is often
associated with dishonest behaviour and is characteristic of trolls.

Sock puppets appear here and there as artificial, and sometimes
multiple personalities, behind which there is a single individual
presenting the appearance of a dialogue which is wholly contrived.
Often times in flame wars, they display a "piling on" behaviour to
make a point appear that it has broad support, when really it is the
only same  person or two posting the same stuff under different
identies.

For example, it appears that "Kumar" may be a sock puppet of "Chung".
Those two identities keep the same conversation going with themselves
forever, over and over, if you check the archives.

You and I are among the minority here who even use our real names. My
take on things is that if a person does not have the fortitude to own
and be responsible for the content of his/her own posts, they do not
deserve to be taken seiously, or even necessarily be  treated as real
people.

Oh...I'm sorry, but I can't take credit here. RZ is not my real name. I
created an online name that sounds real because I think it is a cool idea in
the internet age.  I've been posting under this nic since 2001, IIRC.  It's
funny, though. I met some people from the LC newsgroup in person on two
occasions, once in Los Vegas (we had a low carb retreat) and another time in
Altanta (another LC retreat).  I think the Vegas trip was in March of 2003
and the Altanta deal was later in October of that year.  Interestingly, some
of those folks there would call me Roger in person (and some still do!).  I
don't really like "Roger" as a name, and "Zoul" was supposed to be a ripoff
of Ghostbusters, but I got the spelling wrong. But I still stick with it and
will continue to do so.

So, I guess you won't take me seriously anymore. :(  Oh well, honestly
counts for something.

Roger, please do not be offended. I have known for quite some time
that you are a real person. You are very genuine, as demonstrated by
the content of your posts,  and  I always take you seriously. Also, I
well understand how and why some people adopt fictitious screen
names... I just choose not to do it, because I want to be perceived as
a serious and genuine person from the start. Personally, I prefer to
take an unflinching and unyielding approach to certain things, so I
try to be willing to "step up to the plate", so to speak.

If we ever do meet, though, it will take some adjustment to think of
you as someone other than Roger ;-) Thank you for your honesty.

Oh, never worry. I don't offend easily, even on here! :)  We all make

don't want to be bothered with such.

hope your day is much better then mine is.. I'm sure I'll be worse when I
get home. lol

i was suprised at bluebrookes reply to laura as well.
i hope she says she seems to be a very honest person.  and has proved
that she will say what she thinks is right and will defend someone even if
she isnt crazy about them.
sorry about all the pain.  i found that if i sleep on the couch
my frozen shoulder does not hurt as much.  i have regained most of the
movement
but still need more work.
back in my teens and early 20's i was a big time boozer.  my best friend Ed
and myself would drink
a quart of vodca before we left his house.  i was able to drink all the
booze i had and then beer.
but if i started drinking beer booze was out of the question for that nigth.
yes i think it is a good idea to stay away from the booze as comfort for
pain.  i would hate
to see you end up like Bob.
I am also sorry about the loss of your friend Alan H.

Thanks Tom,

We have a huge sectional couch that has a sleeper sofa and two recliners.
I sleep on the end seat which is a recliner and have done so for about 3-4
yrs now because I simply cannot lay flat on a bed.  Before we had a waterbed
and that I could sleep on! LOL but when we moved out here it froze in the
move
so Mike wont let me get another waterbed until we get a house here to buy or
we move back home to CA... so I refuse to buy a bed.  So our room lol is the
spare room that holds all the boxes I've yet to unpack and probably never
will
until we buy another house.

As far as the booze, I'm really not a drinker by nature but if I find
something I
like then sadly I'll end up binging on it and therefore I'll keep away all
together
then I dont have to be tempted. I know too many like Boob and certainly
don't
wanna be like him.  Just be careful, you don't need to get back in that
state
either.. :)

I'm seeing more and more of the ones that I thought once were upstanding
that
will say anything, even if it's extremely hurtfull just to support those in
the same
clique. I'm starting to think their leader is much like that of Jim Jones.

Thanks for the words about Alan, I certainly will miss him. He was like a
brother
I have that is always MIA instead.

Take care.

Gantlet - 27 Sep 2006 17:47 GMT
Hello RK

your waterbed froze - impossible, unless of course you had it in that cooler
of yours :).
just kidding.
the problem with my bed is that when i bought it i thought the harder the
better.

i dont know if not getting the right bed for you now is the right thing to
do Reisa.
just make sure the way you are sleeping now will not give you more problems
later on.

made me smile to read that you will not unpack until you buy your home.
must make you feel good inside thinking about it.

i have out grown booze a long time ago.  i think the taste sucks and I will
only drink a beer or 3 if i am alone.  i will not and can not go back to the
way i used to be :) and :(  it was fun.

i know what you mean about Jim Jones to.  pretty sad but when you look at
how things are
the only ones that will delurk are the ones that think fighting like that is
fun.

im going out to take a few pictures and videos.  i will be getting back into
my database anyday now.
to tell you the truth i am a bit afraid of it.  i can create the tables i
need but am not sure of the relations.
i do have a pretty good data model all ready.  Joining the tables in mysql
is the hard part.
I have the joins done in Access and can easily do it in Visual Studio.  Well
off to film my 2 Bedroom apartment that is going for $3500 a month lol.

Thank you Alan,

Well.. to let you know, yes, my day was quite a bit worse by the time I got
home.
Physical Therapy went "Ok" -- I found out when I arrived that they weren't
in my
Insurance "network" therefore, my co-pay was 50%, which left me with another
nice bill of $1155.00 and this was after the $50 referal discount. pfft! So,
I told them
forget it and I'd find a PT that was IN network... well guess they wanted my
business,
so they dropped my bill by half.. Oh yeah! (rolls eyes)

Then instead of getting ice cream, I'd not had lunch yet so Danni and I
stopped at the
mall for Chinese instead... What a mistake that was.. Don't know if it was
food poisoning
or what.. But we only went in to eat.. Went across town a 15min trip at best
to get Danni's
hair trimmed and while I was sitting in there waiting on her, the sweat
started pouring
down my neck and I mean pouring, just like someone poured water over my
head.. I felt
myself getting "pale", my nose was like an ice cube.. my hands were shaking,
then my
whole body became cold and clammy as I was sweating like a stuck pig.. I
went out to the
truck and thankfully there was a grocery bag in there, because I lost my
lunch... This was
about 1.5/2hrs after eating.. Danni and I had different things to eat, so
who knows..

So, we get home and she's trying to call the doctor, and our wonderful
TMobile wireless
service is I swear to GOD! trying to become the provider with the MOST
amount of dropped
calls... 9 dropped calls she had trying to get ahold of my doctor.. The
doctor says to watch
for the runs and if so, call him back and go right to the ER, otherwise stay
hydrated with
7up or Gaterade.. So, Danni then tries to call TMobile, LOL and another 12
dropped calls,
she gets ticked and chews them out and then tells them to stuff their free
minutes, leaves
and goes to walmart to get me some 7up and Gaterade since they're drinks I
normally don't
have here.

And well that's been my evening.. I'm going to take a morphine and wet rag
for my forehead
grab my blanky and curl up in the recliner and go to sleep for the night..
Hopefully tomorrow
will be much better..

Have a good one.

Thanks guys,

Well, it's a TAD bit better, I do know that yes, I do have
food poisoning, I'm in the bathroom and yep, I got the runs.
I'm keeping a close eye on it.. about the only thing I've been
able to keep down today is a bit of SF 7-up and toasted italian
bread.  I'm running a lowgrade fever too 100.4 right now.. So
if I don't get better in a day or so, I'll be headinig to the doctor
but figure by then it will have passed.

after another!  Take care adn I ope it is one of the 24 hors kinds of
stomach things.  

Like the old story, I wa s feelign sown and a little voice told me to
cheer up, things could be worse, so I cheered up and, sure enough, things
got worse.  You moght try embroidering this on a sampler to hang on the

Good God, Reisa, what's next for you, locust?  You really have been hit
with more than your share of grief.  But if the old adage of "for every
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" holds true then you
are in for a whole world of great things.  You deserve some good
news...and soon!

Best,
Kurt

LOL I know... but like I said, if I didn't have bad luck, I'd
have no luck at all often. Again, I had a crappy night of
sleep, awake every 2-2.5hrs again.. and I have PT again
today. I also need to finish up a job and get a quote out
this morning.. this should be wonderful work. LOL

I'm on my second cup of coffee, I might try to lay back down
and take a short nap then get back up and start my day again.

I am feeling better, stomach wise.. Unfortunately, seems I've
lost yet another 4lbs in 2 days. I called Danni in to double check
the scale, thought my eyes were really going out on me.

If I'm back in the bathroom today I'll definately be calling the
doctor.. Only made a few visits last night during the times I woke
up.

Thanks everyone. :)

I know what it's like to have someone threaten my life on a newsgroup.
It would probably be better to say nothing, but simply take the
appropriate action against the threatener.  <shrug>

i read some commenting on why i posted my blood sugar levels for a meal
that isnt healthy no matter what kind of diet you are on.

i am pretty proud as to how my body has turned around and how it now handles
carbs.
dont forget when i was first diagnosed i needed meds for even a small
healthy meal of only 45 carbs.

i am tired of people talking about how bad i am doing and i cant help
but feel the path i have choosen to take has lead me to a place that if i go
to a party or something
i can basically be there and no one can tell that I am diabetic.

it wasnt meant for newbies to say.. he eats like that so can i.
if anything i would like newbies to come away with this thinking that in
doing
the right thing most of the time meals like this will not cause blood sugar
levels in the 200's

i am pretty proud of how my body has turned around and still no medications
:)

I feel good today Tom. Just not going to respond to negative posts in
this thread. I'm interested in how you cooked your lamb shanks. I
haven't had lamb shanks for awhile and it sounds good. Take care and
have a good day.

oooooo man them lamb shanks were good.
first i trimmed the fat and grilled them to get rid of some more the fat.
Then i sauted some onion in conola oil.
placed onion, lamb shanks, and 3 cans of crushed tomato and some tomato
paste
along with some seasonings including cayenne pepper.
set the slow cooker on low for 8 hours.  i think next time i will set
it for 6 hours.    I have to tell you... that meal tasted fantastic.
i also have to be honest in that i didnt look at the carb count of the
ravioli
until i made the post with the details of the meal.
its nice to have a meal like that once and a while.
i think the eating in the amounts that i did was a result of
not having them in soooooo long.
next dish in the slow cooker will be
Rosmary and Sundried Tomato Lamb Shanks :).
cooked with white navy beans.
mouth is starting to water :).
the only canned beans i buy these days are pork & beans.

Back to finishing up on my wifes PDA and then its on to my web site.
last night it hit me that i dont really need a database with all the tables
i thought i needed.
the web site should be up and running in about a week.

also about an hour after lunch i will be doing my daily work out :).

That sounds good Tom. I think I will try that this Saturday. I usually
BBQ, but I think I'll try the lamb shanks slow cooked with the tomato,
and skip the tomato beers. :-)

let me know how it comes out.  the bones fall apart after 8 hours.
i kinda like ripping the bones apart to get to what is on the inside.
lol i guess it slows me up.

> Tom,
> Folks have come to your defense.

i am not suprised that people like RK and Cheri were human enough to see
just how crazy it was to say those things to another diabetic.  even tho its
about
the 3rd time such a post was made.
and after 3 1/2 years of having no one like Kurt and RK or Cheri to point
certain things
it means a lot to me when someone new does.
Thank you

>Please don't lower yourself to

reading those things about diabetic complications did spook me and to be
honest
i wouldnt want the day to come that i do suffer any of them and think
someone might be glad about it.

> You can rise above this.

done :)

that feels good to read.  I cant help but also be thankful for Kurt.
hes the first one to ever let what you are talking about be known.
there was also this girl Dana a few years back that was told that she
was warned about talking to me and was attacked when she said she would pick
her
own friends.

> You don't have to rise
> to the bait.  You truly don't.  You CAN be stronger than that.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster :).  anyway..  i have some really good news.
no i didnt save a fortune on health insurance but just a few mintues ago.
I connected my PDA (Dell X51V) wirelessly to my cell phone to use the cell
phone as a modem.
my wife had wanted a blackberry but i talked her out of it and got her the
PDA.  was a pain in the Butt
but now her screen is huge and its beefed up as much as dell would let me.
works great.. i have been trying to do this for a few weeks now and tonight
was the night :).
up until now i have just been connecting WiFi.
Good night and thank you Laura
