"Weiss suspects that double diabetes might be caused, in part, by type 1
diabetics who are taking insulin but haven't made the other lifestyle
changes necessary to deal with the disease.

"One of the consequences of proper insulin use is weight gain," he said.
"Often, patients who have not had a good understanding of how to eat are
taking the insulin to cover what they normally eat."

Consequence of *proper* insulin use?  Not *improper* insulin use?

I think they mean insulin used to cover the amount of carbs eaten.  The
amount of carbs recommended by the related organizations is very high,
but is being called "proper."

Ah!  The kind of "proper" that is meant when my mother raised her
eyebrows at me as a child and told me to behave "properly."  IOW, not
good for me in the long run.  ;-)

Well, if what they're taught involves what OldAl would call the insulin
from hell, and timing meals and snacks to coincide with insulin peaks...

Aside from that, as we all know, one consequence of aging is changes in
metabolism. So, it's entirely possible that an insulin regimen that
worked for 15 or 20 years might no longer work as well. If a T1 develops
insulin resistance as they age, it's not because they weren't following
their program properly. This is yet another instance of blaming
undesired outcomes on "non-compliance".

i'm a type 1 who now has 'double diabetes'

i've been thru menopause, and have thyroid
antibodies of 9,893.1 according to the latest lab
results.... i also take some meds that cause
weight gain....... and that's exactly what i've
done.... i'm no longer the size 6 that i was for
all my adult life until the past 2 years

i have recently started taking metformin and
avandia to address the 'insulin resistance' issues
of being too heavy...... and my insulin doses have
dropped back down to almost where they were when i
was skinny

i'm also losing weight again (finally)

oh ya, i eat about 100gm of carbs a day, and i
walk daily (the dogs love that)

Good work on a tough problem, Kate!

I got back down to size 6 this year by being so adrenally suppressed
that I had every single symptom of Addison's disease by last summer.
Now that I'm no longer suppressed by use of a topical steroid, I have
hypercortisolemia.  The fun never ends.  ;-)

I finally beat mine into treating when I was able to show a trend - can you
plot your readings on a graph, and ask him when he wants you to come back
and start taking the pills, based on this line? Mine blushed and wrote the
prescription...

I think I'll probably end up sorting it out myself.  I suspect that all
the excess steroid in my system for years has made the receptors
insensitive, and now that I'm producing it again, I'm overproducing.
The endo said it takes a good year or more for things to get more
normal, and to expect ups and downs.  I'm actually thrilled to finally
have an explanation for all the crap hitting the fan the past years, and
for the very low calorie requirement.

> my Dr is 'just watching' my TSH and T4's and he'll

Kate, he should be watching your free T3 in case you aren't converting
it properly, too.

the ranges that the labs give as
> 'normal' are WAY higher than the recommendations i

Yes, I know that, and TSH never tells the whole story.  I used to have
high T4 and low TSH but low free T3.  Taking selenium helps some folks
make the conversion from T4 to T3.

My quality of life is significantly improved if I eat a brazil nut or two a
day. I make sure I include a handful ground up in my week's flaxseed
porridge mix, to be eaten a little after the thyroxine pill.

Kate, try plotting the TSH numbers - if he can see a trend, he'll be more
likely to treat; it doesn't get better by itself, so he'll have to treat
sooner or later.

Kate, I can't remember exactly what the connections were, but when I was
trying to figure out what was wrong with me this summer (adrenal
suppression/insufficiency) I found a number of references in which it
(or something related to it that I kept stumbling across) suppressed T3
and TSH while T4 was normal or high.  I wish I could remember what,
exactly it was, but it was an effect of another abnormality.

If you search on it using various strings, you may come up with some
things to test.  The stuff I was researching was varied, pregnenolone,
DHEA, and adrenals.

Kate, do I not misunderstand you? I just looked at my lab results and the
lower the number the more hyper the thyroid. Normal runs 0.38 to 5.5 mU/L at
the MDS Lab. Less than .38 and you're hyper. I am at 0.7 and that is where
my GP wants me. My endo justs looks and says good.

TigerLily - 04 Dec 2006 16:45 GMT
ok, now i'm totally confused, Martha

i have antibodies to my thyroid hormones......

so, if the antibodies are up, won't the thyroid
TSH be up as well?
or are you telling me that the TSH would drop, but
won't that mean less thyroid hormones are being
produced?

i'm going by what RK has posted about Dani's
Hashimoto's

TSH rating is backwards then glucose rating. Such as 300mg is high glucose
300 would be low TSH.  To keep confusion from our house we know the
difference
but when Danni's TSH was 68.4 we still stated it was "high" - same would
apply to
a bg of 30mg of being low, a TSH of .30 would be high thus the call for
below .30
being hypERthyroid and over 5.50 (most times) of being hypOthyroid.

But from my 4yrs of intense reading and learning about my daughter's
conditions I've
found that when she's not been on medication her antibodies increase to
continue to
attack her thyroid gland and this causes her TSH to increase (note how I
state we say
our readings).  When she's been on medication her TSH "decreases" and
supresses
her antibodies, but never all the way.  Studies I've read state that once
the thyroid is
completely destroyed within a 6mon period the antibodies will stop being
produced.

Now I'm confused. I've never heard of antibodies. My information from my GP
is if you your thyroid is overactive you have a low number for your TSH.
(Less than .38) And of course the opposite. (over 5.5 and you are under
active) In my last go round I was 20 and I was being monitor with the TSH
once a week at first as I explained before. When they were doing all the
testing with me my thyroid was  under-active. I didn't feel like doing
anything but sleep.

To answer your question about a radio-active iodine up take, you swallow a
quantity of radio-active iodine in the morning and then you return several
times during the day and they measure how much iodine has been absorbed by
your cells. They measured me in the knee‹good a place as any I guess. I had
my first one in San Jose, CA where I had an overactive thyroid thanks to the
incompetence of the doctors there giving me too much medication. Then back
home in Vancouver several years later I had another which showed I was
under-active. It is not a test given routinely, they have to think there is
definitely something wrong.

I gather from your remarks, that you having a tough time getting them to
listen to you. Why don't you ask for a radio-active iodine uptake and see
what happens. I hope I don't hear the explosion here in Vancouver. It is a
very expensive test.

Good luck

IIRC, the standard for hypo is 3 now, not 5.5.  Even three is too high
for many folks.  Some endocrinologists have called TSH a "garbage" test
in discussion, because it only tells you how much T4 there is, but not
how well you've converting it or how much active T3 thyroid hormone
you're making and circulating.

The full range my lab has been reporting as normal has been for a number
of years .27-4.2, but on my last test (which I still don't have a
printout on) my GP (who also has thyroid issues) said that they like to
have people below 2.

Certain antibodies can determine if you have Graves Disease (under-active)
or Hashimoto's Thyroidism (over-active) -- More often then not do not have
antibodies and there are times that one can have antibodies but it does not
destroy the thyroid.  In a child or teen more often then not when they have
antibodies it will eventually destroy the Thryoid gland.

My information from my GP

From what you've stated you started out as hypERthyroid and 99% of the time
those who are need an RAI and end up hypOthyroid which apparently has

to you.

They do NOT give RAI's to those who are hypOthyroid it does NO good. So,
even
if she would ask unless her TSH or FT3/FT4 were to start changing it would
make
no difference and would be a waste of testing.

Actually, it's the opposite; Graves involves an over active thyroid,
Hashimoto's undersactive.

But, remember that in the ideal case there's an inverse relationship
between the TSH level and the levels of the actual thyroid hormones. So,
low levels of T3 and T4 tend to correlate with high TSH, and high levels
of T3 and T4 tend to correlate with low TSH. This correlation (which
isn't by any means perfect) is why some docs just test TSH.

Yes, and it's so weak so often that it's why so many endos call it a
garbage test.  Correlation is very weak evidence.  My very low TSH
correlated with high normal T4 even when my T3 was so low I was
flattened, for instance.  I don't think it's at all sensitive to active
free T3.

I'm so used to eating the way I have been, that I feel kind of piggy if
I eat more!  OTOH, the cortisol being high has made me very hungry the
past week and I've maintained my weight by being mostly careful about my
choices.  And chocolates.  ;-)

Just don't take more than 200 mcg. per day.  It's a good thing in the
proper amounts, but not something to megadose on.  Selenoenzyme is the
one that's critical for conversion to T3 from T4.  Years ago, when I was
hypothyroid, I took 1000 mcg. per day of GTF chromium (in divided
doses).  I had to go off the Cytomel I was taking because it pushed me
into hyPERthyroidism.  I still get the symptoms anytime I take 400 mcg
per day or more.  If you try these things, do one at a time.  For me,
the first things to appear when hyper were palpitations and head/skull
pressure and a wired feeling.

If I were you I'd get to a really good endo pronto.  Sounds like you

Kurt.... i went from 135 lbs to 87 lbs in a matter
of 3 weeks prior to my admission to hospital in
severe DKA....... at that time (19 years ago) they
didn't have c-peptide tests...... the Dr's tried
me on diabeta because i was 31 years old

i maintained my weight at 125 lbs for the first 17
years on my diabetes...... it's only been since
menopause and thyroid and other meds that cause
weight gain that i have gained weight........ and
i have dropped my carb intake from 200gm a day to
100 gm a day to prevent weight gain

i am definitely type 1, but now, due to the weight
gain, i have insulin resistance to deal with

the metformin and avandia have almost got me back
down to the # of units i used when i was size 6
(i'm probably at the same ratio/lb now.. i haven't
recalculated it based on my new weight)

Untrue.

Weight gain is the consequence of overeating and **not** one of the
consequence of proper insulin use:

That's sort of like saying that diabetes is the consequence of high
blood sugar: True by definition but not useful.

Weight gain on insulin therapy is common but not universal, a certain
fraction (but not all of it) is the dehydrated and emaciated condition
that many were in before they began insulin. For visual proof, look at
the before/after pictures in Bliss's _The Discovery of Insulin_.

The rest of the problem is often attributed to "eating to the insulin"
- mostly eating to prevent hypos as a result of insulin that doesn't
perfectly track insulin needs - but I do not know if this is proven or
not. More modern insulin therapies (using insulins that better track
the typical patterns or pumps) seem to result in slightly less weight
gain (see the inserts in every bottle of Lantus for example) but not a
lot less.

Actually diabetes is not the consequence of high blood sugar.

Instead, diabetes mellitus is defined by elevated blood sugar.

The lack of usefulness comes from being untrue.

This applies to people too:

"As a result, a vicious cycle occurs, the higher the insulin levels
are, the harder it is to loose weight (insulin is anabolic, and is a
hormone that likes to store fat). On the other hand, the heavier a
person is, the more likely they are to have higher insulin levels. As
you can see, the cycle is often hard to break.

While intentional weight loss in people with diabetes is usually a good
thing, unintentional weight loss is not. If blood sugars are very high,
patients with diabetes tend to urinate a lot, and this results in
dehydration as a possible cause of weight loss. Also, muscle breakdown
can occur if sugars are too high, causing an unhealthy weight loss.
Actually, many patients with diabetes present for the first time to
their doctor's office because of unexplained loss of weight.

Wiser to overcome the brainwashing that "hunger is bad."

Those who know in their heart the truth that "hunger is good," are able
to find things to do instead of things to eat between the smaller
meals.

Eating less down to the right amount means maximal hunger.

Hunger is a healthy appetite.

Hunger is good.

Those who are hungry know that they are alive, awake, **and** not
dying:

Eating in optimal range is "absolute" consideration, but following it
due to some reason(esp. on more insulin-natural or added) is bit
difficult...alike leaving alcohol by an chronic alcoholic. Can a so
declared diabetic2 with IR, get better control on overeating by
discontinuing oral hypoglycemic medicine/insulin?

Initially a diabetic2 experiances polyphagia, polyuria and polydipsia
on hyperglycemia but later after on oral medication/insulin just
polyphagia even on persisting hyperglycemia but not polyuria and
polydipsia. How it can happen inspite of hyperglycemia with no
nephropathy in both stages? I feel polyphagia(to lesser extent),
polyuria and polydipsia returned after discontinuing medication
program. Pls consider glucose levels somewhat same in all cases...even
more,  on continuing medication program probably due to IR?

Which is better polydipsia & polyuria on hyperglycemia OR no
polydipsia & polyuria on hyperglycemia?

This is because you have yet to accept in your heart that "hunger is
good."

Once you have the truth in your heart you will be able to overcome your
difficulty with eating the optimal amount of food daily.

Actually, unlike.

Food is not addicting but essential for life.

Such medications need to be adjusted per parameters given by your
doctor(s) based on your fasting blood glucose values.

Any  predisposed or aquired manifestation may cause to get such belief.
Gestational diabetes, mother taking less food during pregnacy or due to
some mother's defect, baby may get maternal predisposition for greed
and hunger of food. I have seen few babies prefer to eat more and
occasionaly(alike diabetic2) others not. We can consider babies got
brainwashing. ??

Yes, but can't one with hyperglycemia excrete more or less sugar in
urine in 24 hrs inspite his blood glucose is similar..due to changed
urine secrations?

With same glucose levels with or without taking diabetic medicines, how
one can get polydipsia & polyuria when not on medicines/insulin and no
polydipsia & polyuria when on medication?

for you to use.

Urine secretions can also be effected by less or more intake of water?
In such case, can one taking more water and passing more urine in
24hrs, will lose more sugar than other similar one taking less water
and passing less urine?

Will it not restrict/decrease sugar loss in urine leading to

Being hygroscopic, Can high glucose levels in blood increase blood

Because glucosuria is pathological.  Glucose is a macronutrient.

Not a form of diabetes but a transient state of acute decompensation..

May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water curing our
diabetes, depression, anxiety and panic so the we can love our

Kumar whom I love unconditionally.

Can't it be a transient state or temporary s non-pathological?

Whether increased absorption of glucose/carbs is also pathological?

Can high or low intake and excretion of glucose and water occur in
diabetes effecting his glucose levels?

The primary means of regulating blood glucose level is response to
insulin.

In someone with type-2 diabetes, the latter will be impaired until the
VAT is gone:

It is the insulin response that is impaired by the systemic
inflammation caused by the VAT.

VAT causes insulin resistance so that insulin secretion is necessarily
increased to achieve euglycemia.

Neither.
