Hi All this is Barry from Melbourne Australia, has anybody found that your
BG levels decrease quiie substantially, when you absorb extra fibre. I was
having trouble with my morning levels when I awoke, even though they were
considered good when I went to bed. Now I have a good glass ...

G'day G'day Folks,
So we are told that something is so when really its an
interpretation.   To many body language experts folded arms are a sign
of being closed off, non-receptive.  

Or is anyone from Canada here at all? There are alot of differences in
the world of diabetes between the US and Canada....I take Humalog
Insulin, anyone else?  Just new to this group, just came across it.
T1 for 24 yrs, suffering from Diabetic Retinopathy

This herb seems to boost insulin action as well as burn calories.
Hope this helps. Susan Haskins

I'm newly diagnosed with T2 and need to purchase a BG meter.
I would appreciate any recommendations on which device I should buy.
I am interested in the kind that allows one to test on forearms
instead of finger tips, assuming that type is sufficiently accurate.

In my search to learn more about liver glucose and how it functions relative
to dietary glucose, I found this study (yes, another study) but thought this
excerpt was worth passing along.
"...In 1988, Reaven [1] introduced the notion that there was a cluster of

    In the current "diabetes Interview" magazine they review or survey most
hardware that gets sold to us diabetics.  As part of that is a long list
of meters that are available.
    The Wal-Mart meter is included in this list, but I noticed that they

My computer crashed about 2 weeks ago, so I took that opportunity to reread
her 2 books: Stop Diabetes and The First year, Type 2 Diabetes.  I've read a
lot of books about diabetes that I got from the library, but these are the
only 2 I've bought, and rereading them made me remember ...

Wouldn't it be pertinent for people posting bg measurements to also disclose
if their meter is giving a whole blood or blood plasma reading? Since  lab
standards are plasma based, their readings will tend to be higher than whole
blood reading for the same sample (example: a whole ...

Hi ---wonder if anyone  taking the proton-inhibitor Protonix for GERD
has experienced any wild BG readings?  Like higher a.m. numbers; fairly
good 2 Hr. PP, ( 117) but then an unexpectedly high 178 at the 3 hr.
mark.

G'day G'day Folks,
 Who knows, it might not be long before the cocoa or even the
chocolate you buy has its flavanol content listed on the packet.

I have a Pug that is quite overweight. He has been drinking
a lot more water lately. I was wondering if it is possible
to test his BGs.  If so, where would I lance him to get the
drop of blood? What are normal BGs for dogs?

Anyone heard from, James the Elder, Ronnie Ruff, or Scott the Ozzie
(forget last name, went on vacation before Christmas) of late?

Hi all.  I'm enjoying the recent boom in products and awareness of  lower
carb diets.  However low carb isn't low calorie.  I'm remembering the low
fat craze of 10-15 years ago.  People would eat whole boxes of Snackwell
products because they thought they were good for you!  The ...
