Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / December 2006WHEN I DRINK PEPSI
my blood sugar goes up >my blood sugar goes up You must be joking. All regular soft drinks (not diet soft drinks) are full of sugar. That's why they may be useful in treating hypos -- although they're not the best solution even for that. Bottom line: there's no reason for diabetics to be drinking regular soft drinks. >>my blood sugar goes up >> >You must be joking. All regular soft drinks (not diet soft drinks) are >full of sugar.

Bottom line: > there's no reason for diabetics to be drinking regular soft drinks. Correction: There is no reason for the vast majority of people to be drinking regular soft drinks. Drink diet, instead. The only exception to this that I can think of are people who have problems keeping their weight up, like people who have cystic fibrosis (without diabetes). I would add that juice, even 100% natural juice, is basically sugar water and really not better than soda.

I ran into your message quite accidentally while researching about some details on 'DIABETES' and thought of sharing some of my findings. I've read at www.medicalhealthcareinformation.com/encyclopedia/D/Diabetes.asp' you also see www.diabetes.org. Diabetes is a life-long disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood. It can be caused by too little insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar), resistance to insulin, or both A sugar called glucose enters the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel for the body. An organ called the pancreas makes insulin. The role of insulin is to move glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it can be used as fuel. People with diabetes have high blood glucose. This is because their pancreas does not make enough insulin or their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond to insulin normally, or both . Consistent with prior studies, self-reports of fair or poor health were associated with several health risk factors such as smoking and obesity. "Persons with diabetes should quit smoking through smoking cessation programs and control their weight through exercise and a healthy diet," the report states. Diabetes affects about 17 million Americans. There are many risk factors for diabetes, including: A parent, brother, or sister with diabetes Obesity Age greater than 45 years Some ethnic groups (particularly African- Americans and Hispanic Americans) Gestational diabetes or delivering a baby weighing more than 9 pounds High blood pressure .High blood levels of triglycerides (a type of fat molecule) High blood cholesterol level . Treatment There is no cure for diabetes. The immediate goals are to stabilize your blood sugar and eliminate the symptoms of high blood sugar. The long-term goals of treatment are to prolong life, relieve symptoms, and prevent long-term complications such as heart disease and kidney failure. Your specific meal plans need to be tailored to your food habits and preferences. People with type 1 diabetes should eat at about the same times each day and try to be consistent with the types of food they choose. This helps to prevent blood sugars from becoming extremely high or low. Type 2 diabetics should follow a well-balanced and low-fat diet.A registered dietician can be very helpful in planning dietary needs.Some people with type 2 diabetes can stop medications after losing excess weight, although the diabetes is still present. Here are some Exercise considerations: You also do some exercise also.Choose an enjoyable physical activity that is appropriate for your current fitness level. Exercise every day, and at the same time of day, if possible. Monitor blood glucose levels before and after exercise. Carry food that contains a fast-acting carbohydrate in case you become hypoglycemic during or after exercise. Carry a diabetes identification card and a mobile phone or change for a payphone in case of emergency. Drink extra fluids that do not contain sugar before, during, and after exercise. Changes in exercise intensity or duration may require changes in diet or medication dose to keep blood sugar levels from going too high or low. You should be evaluated by your physician before starting an exercise program. I hope the above is of some help to you as well.

How odd! In each of the three organisations in which I have spent most of my working life I produced an in-house humorous magazine for the staff. In one case it was so liked not just by the staff, but by the managment, that they formalised the magazine and gave me work time to produce it. My parodies have also sometimes appeared in the press. Most of them unfortunately are technical or scientific parodies which require familiarity with research papers in the discipline to understand. I see that I still have in my files a parody you might understand, however, which was published by a gay magazine in the UK. In order to understand three of the local references you should know firstly that the Blue Moon is a cafe in the Gay Central part of Edinburgh which also features an art gallery and shop which specialise in gay items. Secondly "The Laughing Duck" is a public house in Edinburgh whose sign was once defaced by adding a "y" in a student prank referring to its clientele. Thirdly at the time of the parody the gay establishment of Edinburgh, and in particular the use of ratepayers' funds by the local council to renovate the building which became the Blue Moon, was under sustained attack by letters in the local press and newsgroups by an angry ratepayer called Johnson. I should warn you that there are long words in this parody. Here is "Dr Johnson and Boswell Visit the Blue Moon Cafe in Edinburgh", http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/cam/humour/Blue_Moon.html As I'm sure you are aware, the best parodies by the most famous parodists have always been considered not in the least amusing by some, and downright offensive by others. I regard it as something of a triumph that a poster here tells me: > There you go again, pretending to know what parody means. Seriously, > Chris, you should just avoid dicussing comedy in any form whatsoever. > When it comes to understanding "funny" you are dumb, ingorant, stupid, > and any other of the words you use over and over in your condescending > newsgroup lectures. That's such a good self parody that I'm sure nobody will mind me repeating it :-) There's some lovely material for parody in this newsgroup. I must confess to being tempted! Would you like to tempt me some more?

Chris, please, stick to boring people with pseudo scientific lectures here because every time you try to discuss comedy or any other kind of artistic expression you expose yourself. What you know about comedy you could fit into the pancreas of a gnat (tip of the hat to the late great Fred Allen). Let me explain something to you about comedy, Chris. Any great comedic mind, from Aristotle to Shakespeare to Lenny Bruce to Bill Hicks to Howard Stern, understands one thing about comedy - it has to be relevant to be funny. In other words you need to know your audience. This alleged parody you wrote was based on someone from the 18th century that very few people have ever heard of, let alone his particular flaws that you tried to lampoon. The problem with the article is indicative of the problem you have in posting - nobody gets what you're trying to say. You can dismiss that as people being too "stupid, ignorant, dumb" if you want, but the truth is that you don't know your audience. That's why Tom's parody was funnier than your attempt because we all are exposed daily to gratuitous plugs for websites and books. It was relevant to the audience here in a.s.d. Yours was not. It really is as simple as that. Comedy is not some stuffy lecture that you can deliver to students who are forced to listen, it demands that the writer understand their audience's point of reference and use it to find a way to reach them in a funny way. > That's a very telling phrase you use there, "humor impaired". It tells > me that you have never read a critical analysis of any of the great > English humorists English humorists...now that's an oxymoron if ever I heard one. You see what I did there, Chris, I made a joke based on a subject that was understood by my audience...which in this case is you! Actually I majored in English in college and have a Master of Fine Arts degree. However, when it comes to comedy, critical analysis bores me. It's either funny or it isn't. >and probably have never even read any of the great > literary critics. Critics? Are you serious? Critics are poseurs who couldn't create themselves so they sit back and pick apart what others create like vultures tearing on living flesh. Pooey on your literary critics. Not only was I forced to read them, I then proceeded to criticize THEM! How do you like that? > > The thought of that has bereft me of all desire. > > Well, if I what I wrote was unable to get as far as a brain, I'm glad > at least it got somewhere. Now you're at least coming within shouting distance of something bordering on humor. I suggest you get out more and explore present day comedy. You missed the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year but there is another one in 2007, I think sometime in August. No, Samuel Johnson won't be there, but some very funny people will. Wake up and smell the new millennium.

I didn't try to lampoon Johnson, Kurt, I tried to parody him. Your alleged familiarity with the meaning of parody is getting vageuer by the minute. Your point about the need to be relevant to the intended audience is however spot on target. I was aiming it at an audience who knew about Dr Johnson. From your previous remarks about your literary education I assumed that was you. I don't know what your presumably US education was like, but my education included being given a lot more than a "vague familiarity" with Johnson at school. Boswell's life of Johnson was a recommended text in the school library. > The problem with the > article is indicative of the problem you have in posting - nobody gets > what you're trying to say. Some of the posters to asd are people I know of old from other newsgroups prior to my developing diabetes and coming here. In earlier times in other newsgroups we've discussed other medical topics and other literary topics and I well know that they "get" what I'm trying to say. Even if you don't "get" it, your literary skills ought at least to be up to the job of recognising from their responses that some other posters do. > You can dismiss that as people being too > "stupid, ignorant, dumb" if you want, but the truth is that you don't > know your audience. That's a very understandable confusion. What you mean is *you* don't know my audience. But I'd be careful about making too much noise about that, because it doesn't reflect credit upon your education. > That's why Tom's parody was funnier than your > attempt because we all are exposed daily to gratuitous plugs for > websites and books. You've made the elementary error of supposing you can judge how funny something intended for one audience is by the reaction of another. > It was relevant to the audience here in a.s.d. > Yours was not. Of course it wasn't. It was intended for a very specific audience, a literarily educated Kurt who was more than "vaguely familiar" with Dr Johnson and the English parodists. Alas you seem to be correct in pointing out that my intended audience does not exist. My error and my apologies. >> That's a very telling phrase you use there, "humor impaired".

It confirms for me that your English education wasn't even as good as second rate. You don't even know that some of the great English writers are also among the great English critics! However, I must be careful not to imply too much criticism of your college and tutors. The quality of education you got from them may not have been entirely their fault. > I suggest you get out more and explore present day comedy. You missed > the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year but there is another one in > 2007, I think sometime in August. No, Samuel Johnson won't be there, > but some very funny people will. How do you know Johnson won't be there? Parodies of Johnson have featured quite often in the Edinburgh Fringe. If your disappointing claim that hardly anyone (presumably in the US?) has heard of Dr Johnson is correct, you will be delighted to hear that Dr Johnson is well enough known in the UK that Coltrane's parody of Johnson in the historical TV comedy Blackadder was much applauded, as was Byrne's TV miniseries based on a parody of Johnson visiting the Western Isles of Scotland. I believe Blackadder was exported by the BBC to US TV. I'm sorry you missed it, otherwise you might have "got" that in parodying Johnson it is almost impossible to be too wordy.

That's a > pretty vague kind of familiarity! Dear Nutty Professor, I remember reading a bit of Samuel Johnson back in college, but his particular style is vague to me, much like many authors one studies. The fact that I'm not an authority on one particular 18th century writer will just have to be my shortcoming in life. But if you want to take one writer out of context of the study of literature I could probably throw dozens of names at you that you've never heard of and then smugly snicker at you from my high horse like you are doing. Are you really that insecure? But I can see how Samuel Johnson is a hero of yours, what with him being excessively wordy. He would probably find your "parody" lacking, but your newsgroup posts as a sincere form of imitation. > >> > and the homophobic subject matter makes it seem like > >> > it was written in the 1940's.

Well, for a man who doesn't know the difference between beans and grains I guess I can understand how you would not think parody is comedy.

Parody is a form, mockery is the intent. Your piece, as bad as it was, lampooned Mr. Johnson because it made fun of his style. Within the dusty old chestnut you wrote one could also describe it as satire. Sorry to keep using these words that you don't seem to understand the meaning of, you might want to get a dictionary out to follow along. Start with the word "comedy" and go from there. > Your point about the need to be relevant to the intended audience is > however spot on target.

You're not. >From your previous remarks about your literary education I > assumed that was you.

Most great writers who become critics only do so after spending a lifetime as a struggling artist during which time they turn out the best work of their lives. After they become recognized for their work and win the awards, get the money, and become fat they sit around and critcize others. Your statement confirms to me that you are way more comfortable critcizing than creating. That's probably why you've spent your life in the safety of the academic world.

How very sad. Tom has posted sneering comments about the appearance of nearly every regular asd poster who's posted a pointer to a photograph of themselves. They're all older, fatter, balder, weaker, thinner, or iller than he is. He's even suggested some of them may have doctored their photographs. However, despite all this implied boasting, Tom has refused to produce a photograph of himself. He even went so far as to post photographs of a trip he took on his motorcycle, which consisted of nothing but photographs of the bike and plates of food. Not a person in sight. The solitary rider and food scoffer stayed carefully behind the camera. He has often requested more of the posters he criticises to post photos of themselves. He has suggested that their reluctance might be a reluctance to make obvious to the newsgroup just how far short their real physique was of their rhetoric about diet and exercise. So I posted a photo of myself. And of my bike, incidentally. Not a patch on Tom's rather splendid bike. It's smaller, weaker, older, and tattier. Just like me. But as a fellow biker I was giving Tom a choice. He could strike up a friendly conversation based on our shared enthusiasm for motorcycles. He could simply make no comment. Or he could take the opportunity to sneer at my physical appearance. Was anyone taking bets? He chose to sneer at my appearance. He thinks I look like a small 90lb weakling. Fair enough. So what do *you* look like, Tom? Too scared to let us see a photo of *you*, big mouth?

Hmmm, we don't have that here in the UK, but we *do* have Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max (the latter is IMO the only diet cola worth drinking -- Diet Coke tastes like something more suitable for unblocking drains, and indeed it probably would) -- I wonder if "Pepsi One" is the equivalent of one of these... >> > my blood sugar goes up >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > and indeed it probably would) -- I wonder if "Pepsi One" is the > equivalent of one of these... Someone who had tried both Pepsi One and Pepsi Max once told me tasted like the same drink. There is a new Diet Pepsi out that I think beats the lot.

Can't remember off hand what > it's called, Pepsi Light perhaps? I've found pepsi-one and diet coke to be tolerable.

I found that generic "diet" brands, all 'round the world, tasted better to me and were also less gassy. Apart from being a bloody sight cheaper.
