re:Strange behaviour of a US doctor

Written by sistersandy
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

re:insulin pumps

hi everyone!
i wonder if anyone here uses insulin pumps and can give some insider-insights as to what he finds as a good pump.
these things cost a lot, and the insurance in most cases cover only the basic pump from most manufacturers (minimed/medtronics, animas, etc).
any feedback would be great!

The difference between T1 and T2 diabetes

Written by Anita
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.

My control improved... at last. I've been working very hard for the past 2 months. On my meter, the average dropped from over 9 mmol to 6.3mmol. I'll have my A1c later this week. But the best news is that I can drop completely the acarbose ( from 3 a day to 0 ) and cut down 1mg of Repaglinide ( from 4mg to 3mg) at each meal. Of course that also means that I have to stay at 15 to 20 grams o

Hi guys. I posted this on the sugarland blog and thought I would share it here.
I read what you said about your son, and yes it is wrong to assume that all T2's are overweight or obese. What is the bigger concern here is exercise. Your cells have insulin receptors on the outside of them. Insulin binds to them and a chain reaction occurs bringing glucose transporters to the cell surface in order

I just found out today that I have Type II Diabetes. I'm 32 years old.
It didn't come as a surprise. I had been feeling the symptoms for the last six months but was in denial and as a college student, I don't have health insurance, so I didn't go to the doctor.
Finally, a condition developed that I couldn't ignore. The blood test was run and my glucose level was 260.
