I am a diabetic and a mother so I am always looking for ways to save money both for being a diabetic and taking care of my kids. A friend just recommended me a site called 'ehealthsource.' They have over 400 value-branded products that are all FDA approved. I have purchased my diabetes testing supplies as well as a first aid bundle to take care of any accidents my kids may experience. Using this site has allowed me to save over 40% when I compare to buying the name brand products found in the drugstore. Just google 'ehealthsource' and check it out!

Greetings ladies, my name is Cathy, I am a type II, diagnosed 10 years ago. I am on Metformin and Amaryl, diet and exercise. It's been a tough couple of years with stress, weight up and down, and whatever. But life goes on and we are good, we are very good.

Hi gals! I wanted to let everyone know about Team WILD: Women Inspiring Life with Diabetes. Here's the link to see the video about the team:

TEAM WILD JAN 4TH

http://gallery.me.com/livinglifepro/100372
Username: teamwild
Password: 1028TW

It's the story of how 20 women, 15 of whom have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes did a half Ironman in October 2009. It also tells about the teams we have for 2010. There is a place for all women with diabetes who want support to exercise to join!

Thanks!

Hello Everyone!
Laurie, I'm 42 and I was having nightsweats and so my Endo put me on Evamist which is HRT and it's not affecting my b/g's at all. The nightsweats have stopped, too!

I am searching for a new doctor. I was hoping that someone who lives in the northern Lake County, IL. area could refer me to a GREAT Endocrinologist. I'm hoping to find a female doctor this time, as well. If you have someone to recommend, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Lynn

Hello ladies. I am curious about diabetes and menopause...any voices of experience out there? I've got some off & on sypmtoms suggestive of peri-menopause, which I'm not sure of yet, but it makes me wonder how this will affect my sugars when the time comes for me. Does hormone replacement therapy affect glucose levels? I think perhaps this could be tricky....

Hi Ladies its great to be able to speak with other diabetic women about girl problems. I just joined. I am 49 and was dxd in 97. I also suffer from chronic pancreatitis so its so hard to control my sugars. I am on an insulin pump MM722. And I love chocolate...LOl...just wanted to say Howdy from TX.
