Did your doctor warn you that levaquin could raise your blood sugar? Did you know that Robitussin contains sugar, and that for diabetics, the sugar-free Robitussin is obviously preferred. And just to add to the plight of all diabetics, being sick ra…

NIASPAN RAISING BLOOD SUGAR 2 Replies

Does anyone have experience or knowledge of Niaspan raising blood sugar levels. Is this something the endocrinologist should take into consideration when diagnosing Type 2 in someone?

Who is Daniel Dunn?

Wow, I'm excited to find this community, tudiabetes.org. Not exactly sure how I came across it, but I did and here I am. Where do I start? I wanted to start with who I am. My name is Daniel Dunn, I'm 38, and have been diabetic for 6 years. Yeah, 32 (I think) when I "became" diabetic. I was on my way to work at a summer camp for kids, I was going to be a camp counselor, when I started having all the now, typical to you and me, signs and symptoms. Peeing a lot, extreme thirst, muscle soreness, blu… Continue

13 minutes ago...

I've been pumping for approximately 8 years. During this time I've experienced a few blood gushers when taking my old infusion site out. Tonight (13 minutes ago) was the first time this has happened while urinating (sorry, true story). I decided to rip out my old site during #1 (pee pee). Without going into a lot of detail, all I can say is getting through this predicament takes one talented multitasking diabetic. With blood squirting and fly… Continue

Learning From Each Other, Finding Common Ground



Transcription of the audio from the video
In recent times, emotions in our community have been stirred up. Very strong expressions from "across the aisle" that appears to divide type 1 and type 2 diabetes have come up.

It is a fact: type 1 and type 2 are different conditions and there are even more types of diabetes. All have their things that make them unique and more challenging for some people and perhaps not as challenging for others. There are those with splendid… Continue

Guilty of a blood sugar.

You'd think I was admitting that I was guilty of a crime.

Then the introduction.



"You know that ice cream cake we had today?"

Who I Am (My Introduction)

Hello,

My name is Jose and I have type 2 diabetes, I was diagnosed in December 2009. Both my Mom, Dad and second older Brother have diabetes, I knew that I was walking around with a big red target on my back.

For the first two days after I got the news I was in the "why me" mode. I remember one day I was sitting in-front of the computer listening to itunes when "Drive On" by Johnny Cash started playing and for some reason I have never really listened to the lyrics of that son… Continue
