Thanks Tish. You have been so helpful to me. Does it take a specific test or general CBC check? I do no dairy so maybe. I know the blood sugars aren't too low but that's what everyone assumes when I get like that. I am going to ask my doc. You're gr…

If your blood sugars are high (which they are, given the readings you note) and your body type does not fit the "classic" risk factors for type 2 diabetes (not overweight or obese, not inactive, no type 2 diabetes in your family), ask the endo about…

Dying of Kidney Failure WITH HELP.....

Dear TuD Friends, as close as family---I post this rather intimate update to my family because we with The D are all subject to kidney failure. But also because my very hard-working family coudn't help my Mom die in her own bed without a lot of subsidized help. So--if you wish to vote against Medicare/assistance for the elderly---well, take a breath and think about your Moms.....

If everyone had diabetes...

Diabetes affects millions of people throughout the world, and is on the increase. Estimates put the global population affected at 171 million in 2000, rising to an estimated 366 million by 2030. That’s a lot of people, but still a minority (albeit a significant one) of the total population. For this reason the world can still exploit the needs of diabetics, or ignore their needs should their market be direct

Yesterday, I received a large box containing my new MiniMed 722 pump along with the CGMS and all the other paraphernalia to get me started. I can say that I am excited about this and have be

Impact on kids : )

I never noticed how much of an impact I made on my nieces and nephews till I saw them playing house last week. The kids are 7 and 5yrs. They had a baby who had diabetes. They used a block for the meter and a pen for the lancing device and had little pieces of paper for test strips. What caught my attention was when I heard them say "uh-oh I think her sugars low, we need to test her. She's hungry and tired. Poor thing " They tested and sure enough she was low! They got some juice(another block) a… Continue
