Hi Group
Hate to be a "Pain", but I have another ??? Question and this is on a "New"
test for me my Endo Rx"d
After starting me 2 weeks ago on lantus 1x daily, my doc added a "new' test

I've just wasted about 2 hours doing google searches and looking at
sites selling medical alert bracelets, and I can't find what I want.  I
need something that I can wear for triathlons, long bike rides and
running races, so it needs to be ok in the water and not rub my wrist

Like most here, I want to learn about what food to eat, what is in the
various foods, and which ones give the best health benefits for whatever
ails me.
When I was a child, vitamins (and some minerals) were big news. The general

I finally got in to see my ophthalmologist. My Retinas are great...I am
having my left cataract removed Jan 3. I was the youngest in the office
today...everybody else was in their 70's and 80's. The Dr said the kind of
cataracts I have are the ones they see in younger patients.. ...

Today, I attended a working meeting of the International Schizophrenia
Society. During the dinner break, I spoke with two physicians about the
case of the young woman who used sublingual vitamin B-12 to rid herself
of diabetic neuropathy.

Support a differet idea.  For most of the
time it is ignored here.
Diabetes does affect all of us mentally.
the worry and suffering does a great job on us.

Recently I have been having problems controlling by Blood Glucose.  I am a
Pump user.
My family doctor was discussing the problems with me and had me take a
Insulin autoantibody blood test.

Many will find certain details in the study have significance for
diabetics. For instance it seems five a day is NOT enough.

Diabetics were put in hospital to control what was eaten, a low carb diet
led to weight loss and better glucose and lipid numbers.  The weight loss
was because they ate fewer calories, not because of some magic difference
in what was eaten.

This is my first winter with diabetes and I was wondering if there is
anything special I should do before I go out side.
I usually go for a 2 mile walk in the mid afternoon bundled up from
head to toe, but I want to make sure it is ok.

Looking for reasons to cut back on bread?
Well, at least there was added protein.

I posted probably about a year last July about having friends come to
stay - the husband is a diabetic and was eating all the wrong things,
wouldn't listen to any reason and I got into trouble for "haranguing"
him.

I have had a problem with breakfast for some time.  Whatever I ate, it
seemed to spike me when testing one hour later.  I also sometimes had a
shadow effect from what I ate the night before (lots of carrots for
example).  I would spike to between 145 and 155 at the one hour test.  ...

I went to Lloyds chemist this morning for a free diabetes test.
Not sure if this is relevant but I had a coffee with 1 sugar and a banana
for breakfast about an hour before I went. I hadnt eaten anything previous
to this since 7pm the previous evening.

My mother in law is presently in hospital with renal failure.  She is
81 years old.  It appears that she will be sent home this next week
but will have to go back into dialysis twice a week from now on.  My
husband and I are trying to find information regarding the kind of
