Hi folks.  I have had diabetes 20 years.  I just had my labs done.  The good
news is my kidney function is still good (creatinine level 1.4).  The bad
news is over the last three years I have lost almost all of my vision due to
DME (diabetic macular edema).  The good neews is my Dr. ...

Just got back from my six monthly checkup and was advised that my good
cholesterol levels are slightly low (0.9).
Any tips on how to raise the level.
Diabetic nurse suggested that I eat oily fish 2-3 times per week.

Hi all...
I just thought I'd share my experiences with Niacin with you!
Arrrggghhh...!!
I woke up around 5.30 this morning with a bright red face, neck and chest

hi - is anybody on the Novopen insulins (Actrapid/Ultratard) and due to
change (or have already changed) when they withdraw certain insulins from
October? I believe the Actrapid is still going to be available in a 10ml
vial, but not the ultratard... came as a bit of a shock!

I've got a diabetic neighbor who informs me that her blood glucose
levels have dropped significantly after eating cacus in salads and stir
frys. Cactus is popular in the Southwest and sold in most supermarkets
in the produce section --- thorns removed, of course.

And here we thought that doctors were highly ethical people.  Slimy
bastards.

Well, my friend is relieved.  They only had to remove the big toe.
Sweetheart said this whole thing probably scared him enough to start taking
care of himself....
for the next 3 or 4 days.

I have not really given this a lot of thought, but it just came to me.
My mother had diabetes.  she had hodgkins disease and was on chemo.  She
developed the diabetes after that.
In l994, I had breast cancer.  I went through twelve rounds of chemo

I found part of his obituary this morning after reading the group. He died
November 18th , 2002.
I don't know how to pay for things on the net and there was a minimal charge
for the entire obituary but at least it confirmed my fear of it being true

I went to a Taiwanese restaurant today that I go to occasionally. Today
my spouse told the owner that I'd like the noodle soup with pork &
picked radish with out the noodles. She told the owner that I'm diabetic
and that's why I did not want the noodles.

This is my story. I hope that sharing it will prevent anyone who is not
treating diabetes, or is not aware they have it will get professional help.
I am a 35 year old white male. I had never been at a hospital for more than
stitches. I hadn't had a physical or a checkup for over ...

As per the advice I received when I posted about my (to me) strangely
low numbers following a low-carb meal (in the high 70s-mid 80s range),
I tested every 30-60 minutes for a good couple of hours after I had
lunch today--the numbers went like this:

Last tuesday, 2 hours after taking Altace my Tinnitus soared.  Changed my prescripton to
Atacand, Thursday started on half the minimum dose, no problem, Tinnitus fine.  This
morning I decided to take the minimu dose, 15 hours later my Tinnitus soared.
Coincidence?
