May dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a blessedly wonderful
2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus Christ as the Son of
Man ...

I called today and reported my numbers.  I have been injecting 14 units and
he (not the nurse I saw) said to stay with that for now.  I have had some
high numbers, but also some much lower ones including one hypo.  Oddly my
lowest numbers are coming after dinner.  That didn't ...

As I walked past the shop I saw a nice keyboard, very thin, flat style and
the usual large monitors. I clicked on a key to get the feel and when the
screensaver stopped at the click, a shot of me suddenly filled the entire
screen, lol. Shocked me seeing myself appear like that ...

My surgery, with a specialist diabetic nurse, tell me that they have
stopped giving out test kits to the newly diagnosed because they weren't
seeing any real benefit.
They now put you on diet and exercise initially, then test you after 3

I haven't had a liver dump for months - August springs to mind. But
this morning I was 8.0 after my normal Sunday morning karate session,
grrr!
I suppose I'll enjoy the late evenings - but only once my body's

reading the various (sometimes conflicting) literature on health,
exercise, and diabetes I see that half an hour's exercise three to four
times a week should make a significant difference.
Reading other literature the recommended daily exercise is 10,000 steps.

I thought it polite to introduce myself, though I expect to be only an

G'day G'day Folks,
Strange how often valid conclusions have been reached here through
the collective wisdom of those posting.  One such conclusion is that
while eating fruit is often OK for T2s drinking fruit juice is not

Last night my BG plummeted after dinner.  It ended up at a normal number
(81), but still the rapidity of the drop was scary.
Now tonight I had a hypo!  My dinner was one I have eaten several times
before.  One 6" rice crust pizza (not actual rice but rice flour and other

Don't want to start a "mine is better than yours" war, but are all the
meters equal.  Seems like the manufacturers operate on the ink-jet
printer theory, the meters are low cost, or free (after rebates); what
costs are the refills.

Ok, so, I am really trying to eat the right foods, but again, failing
horribly at it. I went to McDonald's today on my lunch and thought I
would get a salad.  I hate salad, but I know it is good for you, so I
ordered one.

So far this lantus stuff isn't working well for me at all.  Now granted I
did stop the Januvia but it didn't seem like that was doing anything for me.
The only real change I've made in my food is to add back in a lunch.  It has
to be very small because I just can't seem to bring ...

Hello, I am new here!
I am Diabetic Type 2 and only diagnosed for about 2 years - so a
complete novice.
I do eat healthily and try to stave off sugar cravings with sugar-free

The skinny.... I was diagnosed with type 2 less than a year ago. I am
using Metformin and Glimepiride (2x daily) to help control.
My questions.....
If I DO NOT eat breakfast (even a snack) in the morning I show no

Hi Kate, I really didn't want to post another message to the troll
thread that's currently going, but you said something interesting that
I'd like to discuss further.
