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,
Being new to diabetes, I get a little confused by the jargon.
I know now what a few terms mean. “Hypo” is a hypoglycaemic attack due to a low blood sugar level. “Endo” I don’t know. “Mmol/L” is millimoles [i:6ee5a63ed5]per[/i:6ee5a63ed5] litre, a blood sugar measurement unit used everywhere [b:6ee5a63ed5]except[/b:6ee5a63ed5] in the U.S. where mg/dL is used (milligrams [i:6ee5a63ed5]per[

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

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
