That is true I also remember the toilets and water fountains for Whites and Blacks and also the appalling shacks that people lived in in Jacksonville, Florida. We did not have these features in Canada and it was quite an eye opener for a kid that ...

The spike is bad. You should avoid these foods.

I am very unhappy with the modern 5 second meters. their accuracy is appalling. The readings I do not trust and test less. The 60 second meters were wonderful and very accurate did a lot more testing then.

I had the vaccine with no problem. Might of actually had the flu and it was survivable.

Dear Gerri I agree. You must minimize the amount of insulin you take or you will gain tonnes of weight. Low carb, exercise and possibly metformin, or all 3 if you can. The Canadian FDA did not approve Byetta yet, could be that there are severe pr...

The 5 second meters are also super inaccurate so we are out on a thin branch. I would not trust any readings from home A1c test kits based on Kelly's results. I use a 15 second ascentia that still works for the moment with the contour strips but w...

Dear Dov. Sorry to hear that the big D is getting worst. Stress is a real killer for diabetics ( and normal civilians too probably). Injecting more insulin is a two edged sword since if you exceed 0.5 units per Kg of body weight per day and this ...

Hi, Anthony, I'm not sure if I did this right before, so I am posting to your page directly -- YES, PLEASE!!! If you can do the survey, is would mean a great deal to me -- and to "science!" :) It is for married couples, when one or both have diabetes. You can access the two versions (one for each spouse) from my page, or email me if you'd like me to send them in an email directly to you: research.diabetes.t.ruth@gmail.com

I think that should work- but if not, the top of my personal page will have a link to it in recent activity.

Anthony-
I responded to one of your posts in the discrimination of type 2's conversation. I would appreciate your thoughts.

I hope you are OK.

I am honestly worried about you. I have noticed a nasty chip on your shoulder, and it often times is attacking toward people who are not attacking you. You seem to want to pick a fight. or get defensive. a lot. No one is attacking you, and this is a SUPPORT community. We are really trying to be supportive, if you let us.

I really do wish you all the best and I really hope you find whatever you are looking for.

Anthony , I am trying to send a " personal " question message to you , but this girl does NOT know how to at this moment ...so will do it here , please understand I need to become SAVVY ...this maybe a bit too personal to express here ??
I learned this on the Alberta website. Do you qualify ??....for low income seniors and without private insurance there is AMFH available ( Alberta Monitoring for Health , administered by the Canadian Diabetes Association ) ..take care , neighbour :-)

I am so surprised to hear about the ferns. I would have thought that it was so far north that everyting would be frozen. There are no ferns here right now! Pacific rain forest sounds really beautiful. Central NY is nice - I live in the Fingerlakes region and the lakes make the climate more temparate. There are many vineyards and wineries all along the lakes. It tends to be cloudy here though. So warmer than Maine, but cloudier. Second only to Seattle. It has been in the 20's here lately - cold with flurries.

Travel can be tough on the body, but it is good too and good for the soul especially. I have a headcold, but am in denial....

Hi - I checked out Nanaimo online - they have pictures on the city's website. Very beautiful. I see it is near the coast compared to Calgary - that must make it more temparate. I saw my first daffodils of the season today. It's kitty's last day of radiation! Hooray!

Thank goodness your retinas are ok! Appreciate the offer to scan the report, but doubt I'd understand it.
