Judith replied to Bob Reveles's discussion 'Living with Type 2 over age of 50'"At 62,I have so far controlled with diet and exercise only and the only way I have found to do that is, like you, a LOT of testing combined with Bernstein's lo-carb approach. But we are all very different and we are each our own test subject…"
Stemwinder replied to Bob Reveles's discussion 'Living with Type 2 over age of 50'"Hi Robert, I'm 55 and I'm doing like most here on Tudiabetes in that I'm doing what I have to. I don't think there is any one answer that can be given. I just test and adjust and then test some more. I adjust my diet and since…"
Bob Reveles posted a discussionLiving with Type 2 over age of 50
Hello all. The name is Robert and I've been off and on tudiabetes over the past 3 years. I got on when I lost my insurance (with a high paying job) and when I began taking a very potent diabetes drug named GLYBURIDE. I couldn't afford a visit back to my doctor at the time and I was passing out because of my sudden change from running 200+ glucose down to 70 and below in a matter of days.Thank God, I was able to find this site and I was able to find some very helpful information that helped me…See More
Bob Reveles commented on MelissaM's blog post 'Why aren't I included?'"I think that many help programs target the elderly because many are on fixed incomes, not employed (retired), and cannot afford insurance."

It is August 15. More that two weeks since my last blog posting. The move to the new place went very well. The place is very relaxing. I like it. My room mate likes it. My turtle likes it.I still have a situation with the insurance. I have decided to save the money I would have had deducted from my check for insurance premiums and deposit it into a special account solely for the purpose of paying for doctor visits. Since my doctor will schedule a visit once every 3 or 4 months, the $300 or $400…See More
Bob Reveles replied to mike's discussion 'wow that was scary'"Mike, I'm type 2, but I had experiences like the one you describe (without the medics) when I started taking Glyburide. When I first started taking Glyburide, my glucose level dropped from an average of 200 down to 80 instantly. One day, I…"
Bob Reveles replied to Kelly's discussion 'How did you find out you had Type 2?'"Like many others, I had the symptoms. From what little I read, I knew I probably had Diabetes 2, but I didn't go to the doctor to confirm that for a long time out of denial. I didn't want to know I was diabetic like my late father.…"
Kendra Hillman commented on Bob Reveles's blog post 'New Journey....'"Hi Bob,
I'm sorry to hear about your insurance situation. Ask your doctor for samples whenever you go in there. The drug reps just drop off a bunch so they are happy to give them to you if they have them. I have also found that if you tell your…"
Bob Reveles posted a blog postNew Journey....
I finished most of the things I needed to finalize my move. I'm moving to a more affordable place.I learned last week that the insurance of the company I work for has a "pre-existing condition" clause on their policy. That means that they will not cover the cost of treating my diabetes for one year after I join. It is very discouraging. If I wasn't in a big financial bind, I'd pay for the insurance and wait for the year to be up. But I am not sure that I will stay with this company. With that…See More
Bob Reveles left a comment for Jamie Woodruff"I know that this is going out on a limb, but I went to school with a Tim Woodruff a LONG time ago in the San Fernando Valley of California. If you are 47 or 48 years old, then you could be that person."
Bob Reveles replied to Debbie's discussion 'Get The Ball Rollin' in the group Diabetes in Texas"I chose to move to Texas because of the beautiful environment in Kerrivlle. I loved seeing all of the stars at night, watching the deer walk the streets at night or visit the nearby park durning the day. At first, the tremendous thunderstorms…"
Bob Reveles replied to Andy Barnes's discussion 'What Part of the State' in the group Diabetes in Texas"I currently live in Waco. For almost two years, I lived in Kerrville. And before that, I lived in California."
