Long lasting high blood glucose levels in diabetes patients, the so-called 'hypers' are more harmful than expected. A research done by neuropsychologist Alette Wessels of the VU medical center in Amsterdam shows that “hypers” can lead to permanent damage in the brain. Until recently it was assumed that especially the low glucose levels could lead to brain damage.

Hi,
Yesterday, at the diabetes clinic (at my GPs surgery), I learnt a lot more. Particularly the dietician told me of a British diabetic who had to be checked in a US hospital for something like [i:500c0cef4c]deep vein thrombosis[/i:500c0cef4c]. He had, obviously, to tell the attending doctor that he was diabetic.
He was immediately asked what his “carbs” were (I don’t even know what carbs a

Hi,
My diabetes specialists recommend that I take my blood sugar levels (and blood pressure) once a day in the following pattern.
Day 1 - before breakfast, Day 2 - after breakfast, Day 3 - before lunch, Day 4 - after lunch, Day 5 - before supper and Day 6 - after supper - and then repeat. (After meals means 2 hours after food.)
This seems reasonable as it should produce a valid sampling a

It seems that many people confuse between T1 and T2 diabetes, so I'll do my best to explain the difference.
People who suffer from Type 1 diabetes (also knows as T1 diabetes), do not produce enough insulin, or don't produce insulin at all, and as a result have problems in using the carbs they eat. Such people must inject insulin in order to keep themselves a live.
People who suffer from Typ

hello all!
It's been a while since I first saw the insuling pumps around- the promise was almost sci-fi: no more insulin shots, just tell the pump how many carbs you're eating, etc.
These days, you still get all these amazing diabetes gadgets, such as a non-intrusive device that tests the sugar levels using light only (amazing), and so on.
is there any company that interconnect these two devi

I have to agree with Gemstone - genes play a major rule in this.
Yes - some people might become diabetic due to pumping sugar (I know someone that got it by drinking carrot juice several times a day - would you belive this??) bu

Hello everyone. I am new to this site and have a question for you. I have had my ENDOCRINOLOGIST for 14 years now. I am 29 years old, went into a coma when I was 15, (2,450 blood glucose level, (worlds record I was told)), and he saved my life. I have been with him ever since. But my A1C seems to be high now and he didn't suggest any changes. I am curious as to what you people think. To me havi

Hi,
I am looking for some information on insulin pumps and was wondering if there is anyone out there to give me a hand. Right now I am on the Medtronic Minimed 512 insulin pump and I want to upgrade to the 522 with the Continous Blood Glucose System and I want more information with people that are on it.
