Diabetes type 2 patients who actively control their blood sugar level themselves have a 50 percent less chance to die of their disease. They also have a 30 percent less chance of amputations and complications like blindness and heart- and kidney failure.
This is the outcome of a big epidemiologic research by the German Diabetes Center in Dusseldorf.

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

Is there a relation between the average blood sugar level read on the meter and the result of an A1c?
In the past 2 months I dropped my average from 9.8 to 6.1mmol on my glucometer. I am not due for a A1c for another month so I am curious. Last time it was 7 so I expect that the next one will be more around 5.5 to 6??

2 hours after supper, I took my bg on my left hand. As I ate pretty normally so was surprised to have a bg of 11mmol. To be sure, I took it on the right hand and got 8mmol. A difference of 3mmol is far too big.
Next meal I did the same, took my bg on both hands, still a difference of 3mmol. Now, I tested with another meter which read the same. Now, which hand is the good one? I'll chat w

One thing has started to anoy me from time to time. I have had diabetes for 12 years now and i check my sugar level 2-5 times a day (5 these days) since i've passed out on more than one occasion and my mother is really nervous when she doesn't know the situation. But now i am noticing that the puncture wounds needed to extract blood for the test don't always heal up as quick as possible.
F.E:

Argh... I don't know what happened today but I had chocolate. The real kind, not sugar free, and it was darn good at the time! But, of course, now I feel guilty and awful... and I was doing so well! *sigh*
I've started running again and am still keeping up with weights at the gym 5 days a week, still taking my insulin -- even had a nice salad for lunch. Then - BAM! I ate my nephews chocolate

Well as we can all see it's summer now, it's hot (with a little welcome rain) and your air-conditioner is probably not working (just joking
)
A reminder to those that have diabetes for a long time and a warning for those that have had it for a short time: be careful. It's beter to be warned before an accident happens. Very hot weather (and you'll probably be more active with all t
