Gerri replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Accu-Check Aviva One Time Coding'"Been wondering for a while when companies would go to no coding. I haven't gotten strips with the black chip yet. Noticed the CA in the link. Is this just a change for Canada for now?"
Michelle Powley replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Accu-Check Aviva One Time Coding'"They are trying to move to a 'no code' technology like most of the other meters out there. A lot of people don't change the code chip with every new box of stips and this causes errors. So, people are being shipped these black code…"

Just a quick question, anyone have any idea what the purpose is for the new Aviva upgrade to "Test & Go Technology"?https://www.accu-chek.ca/ca/testandgo.html?locale=en_CAThey will still ship a 1 time coding chip with each box of test strips, but they instruct you to now throw those away. Must be a savings in manufacturing VS the white coded chips?See More
A.O.T.S. replied to 3BoysMom's discussion 'What do other diabetics out there know about Isagenix? Have you tried it? Just curious...it appears to be a diabetic friendly cleanse/shake program.'"I just started looking into it also. I see claims of people saying how much better they feel after starting the program, but you never have any info on what they were doing with their health & diet before they started.
A friend of mine put me in…"

Ed replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Cholesterol/Crestor/Lifestyle'"Hi, I was diagnosed type 2 in 2004 with a a1c of 10.5, my total cholesterol was 234, hdl 40 ldl 117 trig 387, I changed my diet to the dash diet, lost 150 lbs in 1 1/2 years, have maintained the weight loss for six years, my yearly a1c test for the…"
Judith replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Cholesterol/Crestor/Lifestyle'"AOTS---lo-carbing helped me, too---lots of veggies, few grains, etc. Docs were stunned at my high HDL and low Triglicerides (HDL 150, desired to be more than 39---Trig 54, desired to be less than 200). Even so, my doc, who is otherwise pretty good,…"
Judith replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Cholesterol/Crestor/Lifestyle'"Kelly, I also do Red Yeast Rice---it's actually the foundation of statins. Big Pharma grabbed a patent or whatever and so RYR can't advertise that it can do such good stuff!"
Kelly WPA replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Cholesterol/Crestor/Lifestyle'"If you check out the Bernstein group, a bunch of people have lowered theirs by going low carb. I don’t know if that is something you are interested in. Have your numbers improved any with the weight loss?
My cholesterol started going up when…"
A.O.T.S. replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Cholesterol/Crestor/Lifestyle'"Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't realize there would be a difference as the measurement units were common."
Lila replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Cholesterol/Crestor/Lifestyle'"You've used the blood sugar conversion factor to convert from mm/ol to mg/dl. The conversion is not the same for lipids. So the mg/dl conversion of your mm/ol figures are:
Total 4.31 mm/ol (166 mg/dl)
Trig 1.39 (123)
HDL 0.89 (34)
LDL 2.79…"

A.O.T.S. replied to A.O.T.S.'s discussion 'Bloodless Glucose Monitor'"It sounded interesting but at the same time it seems like a conflict of interest for Abbott as they make a nice income stream from test strips of their current glucose meters. The CDE also mentioned that the price tag that he heard mentioned was…"
