Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / December 2006good news
Hey all, I posted here a while ago after my son had a seizure and we were not sure that is was related to a low BGL or something else. Well, we had the EEG and the results came back as a normal reading, but the neuro is still not convinced we are in the all clear as he thinks his BGL was not low enough for the tonic clonic seizure he had and b/c in he past he has had some suspect neurological problems which he thought were due to a "mitrocondrial " condition..He said it is a case of waiting and watching I guess... But I am relieved with the results as I feel confident that is was related to his BGL levels, his sugars were a tad low and this may have been b/c he dropped suddenly or perhaps was lower and got higher after a liver dump??? Who knows? Thank you all so much for your advice and support...Don't know if I will be posting soon.I may pop on to discuss how others here who have diabetes feel about burn out re: diabetes...He ( my son) is really resenting his illness at the moment, but with Christmas approaching, he may cheer up as we do let his have some treats in the silly season and all kids love this time of the year. Have a great Christmas everyone..may it be safe and kind to all. Regards Helen from Oz Thanks for the update Helen, and the very best Christmas to you and yours as well. -- Cheri Helen wrote in message <457f5332$0$9774$afc38c87@news.optusnet.com.au>... >Thank you all so much for your advice and support...Don't know if I will be >posting soon.I may pop on to discuss how others here who have diabetes [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Regards >Helen from Oz > Thanks for the update Helen, and the very best Christmas to you and > yours as well.

I generally prefer to try 'em first - not to mention the copyright issues - but here's a waffle recipe that looks very good and versatile: 8oz cream cheese, soft 5 eggs 1/4 cup soy protein powder 1t baking powder 1 1/4 cup almond meal 1/4 cup whey protein powder 1/4 cup heavy cream Of course, you'd have to check that all components above are gluten free in the variant you buy. I know my MIL has to hunt for gf baking powder, for instance. 6-7 servings depending on the size of your waffle machine (or make them as pancakes); total CHO 28.6g, total protein 109.8g Beat cheese, cream and 2 eggs until smooth, thick and fluffy. Add remaining eggs one at a time, beating after each. Stir flours in until mixed. Add melted butter if desired. Bake in waffle iron 2-4 mins or until done. Frozen waffles may be reheated in a toaster. Fresh waffles may be eaten with fruit, nut butter, cream, syrups, etc,etc,etc... or savoury with melted cheese, or as a pizza base, or with garlic butter melted over, or topped with hot tuna melt... stale waffles make breadcrumbs (straight or herbed), or crumbled as a cereal. They also suggest crumbling, mixing with egg white and butter, and using as a crust for flans, pies, etc. I'll be making their tortilla recipe soon, as my supplier seems to have stopped importing tacos <sniff> - I'll post that when I do, that's gf too.

Think in terms of adding 50 to 70% to the price. For some reason New Zealand and presumably Australia qualify for the worst shipping rates from the USA. Amazon sell perfumes these days but wont ship them to New Zealand thanks to the anti-terrorist regulations. I presume they must go by road transport to US customers. > I found the best way to >pay normal price for books was to go to a large bookstore >chain and ask them to order it in for you and you just pay >the recommended retail price. Same. The one time I have really appreciated Amazon is in buying reprints or science and maths texts. The reprint itself costs next to nothing and the shipping is then not so bad.
