I was diagnosed type 1 in 1961. Now that I'm 61, I decided to try on-line communities. I live in a rural area and only know one type 2. The support group I tried a few years ago spent too much time…Continue

Alice commented on Katherine's group 'Diabetes Burn Out'"Nothing will shock you out of burn out like getting hit by a car. I felt totally burnt out. A year after getting hit I've learned first hand what T1D is all about. I'm taking tests with no complaints as that is literally keeping me alive.I…"
Alice replied to Alice's discussion 'Nursing Homes' in the group Medical Professionals with Diabetes"I was at Linda Manor in Leeds, just outside Northampton.

Alice replied to Alice's discussion 'Protein for wound healing' in the group Veganbetics"Hi.Got through surgery fine. My protein level is still too low. Now I'm wondering whether I have a problem absorbing protein. I eat all the things you suggested except "essential oils." What do you mean?"

Amy replied to Alice's discussion 'Nursing Homes' in the group Medical Professionals with Diabetes"which nursing home were you at??? I use to work in one and I had to train the staff all about the diabetes as I told them I am a diabetic. Some of the staff were like we know what we are doing. I argue back with no you dont. I am much better at it…"
lisa c replied to Alice's discussion 'Protein for wound healing' in the group Veganbetics"My personal belief is you do not need to eat beef. Have you tried tahini, beans, grains, other nut butter and nut milks fortified with B vitamins and calcium? How about essential oils? I wish you luck witht eh next surgery and healing."

Protein for wound healing
I have a wound that will not heal. It started with rib surgery in May 2012. All my docs and nurses, including a body healer who is veggie, told me to eat beef. My protein count is low. I need higher than normal protein to help with healing. So I've eaten as much beef as I have in my whole life and I'm 63! Apparently, it's the quality of the protein as much as the the amount. I am distrustful of this opinion, but haven't found much on the web and can't afford a holistic doctor. I'm eating lots…See More

Nursing Homes
I tried to add discussion earlier. It disappeared. Forgive me if this a repeat.I was in a nursing home in MA for a few months recovering from accident injuries. The nurses and doctors there knew very little about treating diabetes. They would take a test before a meal, give me CI -covering insulin, but no MI -meal insulin. So of course, my bg would go up. Then the cycle would start again. The nurses didn't seem to know what I was talking about. I spoke with the head nurse who said they did not…See More
Alice commented on Robert Yancey's group 'Type1 for 30 Plus Years'"I'm back from 5 months in the hospital. I got hit by a car when crossing the street. At one point my chances of living was 0-20% !

Alice replied to T1Forever's discussion 'Do you juice at night?'"I use glucose tabs. Endo nurse suggested Glucose Liquid Shots because they act faster. Haven't tried one yet. Apple juice is no doubt the most tasty option."

Poverty and diabetes

In Holyoke MA the rate of diabetes is climbing toward 10%. The income level of the city is about half of the median income for the rest of the state. The obesity rate is 26% and for low-income pre-school children, it is over 12%.

Cancer

Cancer is your cells attacking each other. That seems to be the current take on diabetes. Sort of like "friendly fire." I went through a couple of years of lymphoma treatments - surgery, chemo. I'm fine and dandy right now. My friends got the book What to Eat When You've got Cancer. They made recipes for me to put in freezer. Made life much easier. The book could have been written by ADA.
