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

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.

I recently came across the following website:

I quite enjoyed it. It has good explanations and explains the difference between T1 and T2 very clearly.

For the ones using insulin: Do you use syringe or a pen? Why?
While reading the newsgroups, I noticed that many more people seem to use syringes and wonder why since the use of the pen is so easy and seems cheap to me.
Any comments?

Hi all,
I was thinking to myself if the categories of the forums should be changed.
What I thought would be good is:
- General
- T1 Diabetes
- T2 Diabetes
- Recipes
Let me know what you think.

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

How did everyone fair with the food and chocolate and family this weekend?
I cant resist chocolate...its like a drup....mhhmmmm i love it! I guess in a way being a T1 is a bit easier because if I know how many carbs it has then I can just give insulin to compensate. Although it still doesnt help the fact that diabetes gain weight like it aint no thang!
