I am relatively new at all of this, but it's amazing to me what makes a
blood glucose level go up and what keeps it steady.
I had "burgers" for dinner with onions and mushrooms and a few new potatoes

I had a discussion with the diabetes educator today. She's probably as
proactive as they come. She has a passion for all things diabetes. And,

I've been taking Visinopril for over two months, and during that time I've
had a dry cough.  It is SO ANNOYING, and totally non productive.  It seems
the second I try to sleep the coughing starts.  I keep cloraseptic by my bed

Just dropping down from lurkdom to say hello. Newly diagnosed and going to
my diabetic education classes (group) which started today. I'm learning and

work and want to put my head down. If it is is still in the normal

I only ask as since I have been exercising, my numbers have been much
lower.  If I stop exercising for say, a week or two, will they go back
up? Can I get rid of diabetes altogether? Or just control it?

I thought I would let you know of my progress since getting home from
the hospital. Tuesday I went to the surgeon for (hopefully) the last
time. His nurse removed the remaining staples. Laurie said it looked

I work in an office and am surrounded by others (Attorneys,
secretarys, clients) all day. I don't have a cubicle so I can't test
at my desk. The restroom is on another floor. We do have a small

Bit worried about my mother in law who's on insulin.
Just heard that her 'carer' who is being paid to look after her has bogged
