This evening I was listening to Dr. George Noory on KFI radio at 10 pm
though 5 pm.
He has this wonderful guest on who is the most educated doctor I have
ever heard.

Went to County Medical Center for my second refill of Metformin.
SEVEN hours later...
The triage nurse took a reading... used a blade style lancet.
Pressed sooo hard before triggering it, I can probably still squeeze

As per the Subject...
It seems that if I eat something with 40 grams of carbs, I get a 40
point rise in my BGL (at the 1 hour mark).
Other amounts of carbs give similar results.

I'm a newbie (day 5) and trying to get stable, so I'm now (after a
blunder or two) reading the label on EVERYTHING.
Today, I had the idea of having a couple of bits of meat with a lunch
salad I'm planning, so I thought "ahh, a few bits of good quality

I've seen some very heated debates about the ADA and I've wondered
about this for awhile now.  I'm feeling particularly brave this
morning, so will go ahead and ask the question, but I really hope it
isn't just adding fuel to the fire.  :-(

First, I want to thank everyone for all the super advice.  (Does
anyone under 30 say "super" anymore?  I guess it should be "wicked
kewl" or something like that?)  You're a great group, and even the
trolls are worthwhile as an example of what not to do.  :-)

Had a friend stop by tonight.  He's T2.  Has been for years.  When he showed
up last summer he had huge sores all over his toes.  I explained to him
about amputation.  I guess he was of the "It won't happen to me." school of
thought.  Well, they aren't amputated...yet.  He's been ...

Told Chris J that I'd start this thread again.  Remember the rules...just
what you ate.  No diet wars allowed.
I'll do yesterdays and today's to start 'cause I've only had two meals so
far today.

I'm newly diagnosed, and I don't know what to do about my insurance.
I've got a basic hospitalization plan from State Farm, it's got a
fairly large deductible and I pay 80% of everything after that.
I've been with them for over ten years, no claims, but my rates have

I am newly diagnosed as type 2 diabetic.
Can't remember what my numbers were on a 2 hour GTT, but enough to freak out
the endocrinologists.
I am 38. Female. 5'4" and weigh a lot .. 118 kg (~259 lb)

Doc tells me I have "metabolic syndrome".  My last fasting blood glucose was
116 up from 114 (steadily going up).  Has me on 2000 mg metformin/day.
Wants to add Actos once a day.  Says it will put on weight.  Anyone have
experience with this?  I'm already packing way too much ...

Howdy folks,
I've been doing some skivving lunch reading on the net and came accross a
page or ten on the IDDT site regarding lantus "concerns".
It would appear that lantus is not quite the wonder insulin it's been pegged

Normally, when I inject Lantus, I inject it into my hip.  I achieved
very good control with my regimen.
However, I decided to inject it into my abdomen for a time last week.
I made sure to do it in the opposite side of my belly as my Novolog, to
