Does anyone get a strange taste in their mouths after injecting?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Richmatik Jan 28, 2011. 5 Replies 0 Likes
This may sound weird, I'm new to Levemir after using Novalin, and since the very first day of injecting Levemir, I get a strange smoky type taste in my mouth very shortly after giving myself the…Continue

Denise Suzanne Grant replied to LiL MaMa's discussion 'Medication before insulin?' in the group LADA Diabetics"I was on Metformin, Glipizide and Actos. The first pills to go when they put me on long acting insulin (Levemir) was the Actos, which did me no good what-so-ever, (I would have been just as well to take a sugar pill!).

Carb Counting by Example
Correct carb counting is very important. The members of this group can present pictures of their meals and the estimated carb counts. This way we can improve our judgement and learn to overcome common mistakes by sharing our experiences.

LADA

Well it's official, I've finally managed to get my diabetes counselor to get me tested for GAD and C-peptide.. and guess what?? I'm not a thin type 2, I am definitely a LADA! My C-peptide came back <0.5 and get this.. the GAD test came back >30.0.
They're now talking to me about going onto the pump.. any advise on that would be much appreciated. So all this time while I've been telling the doctor that I have LADA, I was right.. she is now going to have to admit defeat..… Continue

Going back to school!
Posted on April 3, 2010 at 8:31am 6 Comments 0 Likes
Hi there.. I thought I'd share my news with my friends on TuD. I'm heading back to school to get into the medical field. Going into a Medical Assistant's Associates Degree.
Ok, I won't be a Doctor or a Nurse, but I may be able to help change something in some small way.. Help to raise Diabetes Awareness from the inside.. This will be the first step in a long journey, but I hope that what I know can help and be passed on..
Maybe that's the only way we can get our message… Continue

I wish that I could change the minds of my medical team. Sounds silly really because they're the ones who should know all the answers or at least have a better idea than I do.
Because I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes initially, even though most of the evidence looks like I'm type 1/LADA, they keep turning me down for a GAD-65 test and C-peptide tests. And they are still treating me with pills and insulin/nph also. I've gone from pills to using insulin in less than three years.… Continue

How do you avoid stress in this situation?
Posted on February 25, 2010 at 3:49pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
They tell us that when we have diabetes we should avoid stress.. My doctor keeps critisizing me because my blood sugars have been high in the past.. I keep telling her it's stress and she keeps saying then use the stress avoidance tactics. Ha! that's a real laugh.
Over the last couple of years I've had so much stress I'm surprised I'm functioning at all.
In less than a year I've lost three people who I loved very much.. One of them being my ex husband.. although not loving… Continue

"Stuff"!! How's the weather at your end...hot and muggy here...was going to weed after the brief rain shower we had here yesterday....but the air was very thick....and my back still recuperating from having washed the kitchen floor 3x over on all fours (the old fashion way) the day before, when our middle grandson Riley (2) decided to spit out his juice all over the place. I would have been arrested for what I toyed doing to him! The room that our daughter was in before moving into her own place is now taken up as a storage room for Timothy and Steph (son and d-i-l). (Our son and daughter and theirs were here since mid January since the house they shared burned to the ground. No one was hurt, except for 3 pets that perished. Our daughter has moved into a new apartment, and our son has purchased a house and they are moving out of our place mid July!) The storage unit they have rented is all full!!! They're moving into their own house starting the 19th of this month! The repeat empty nest syndrome lol. It sure will feel odd to have the whole house to ourselves again! Steph (d-i-l) has a bad ear/sinus infection. She went to a walk in clinic yesterday, and was put on meds, including ear drops. Early evening, her ear was bleeding, which is not uncommon with ear infections...but I nevertheless offered to take her to ER, knowing that we'd be there for at least 6 hours...no no no...she didn't want to go. Midnight, as I'm coming out of the washroom to go to bed, she and Timothy are at the kitchen table...seems that now she feels she should take me up on that earlier offer. I said to her, "you realize that we'll be there all night 'till mid morning anyway!"
She had gone to the internet, and of course got frightened by the comments and suggested diagnoses of her bleeding ear! (sigh....who listens to me!!) So I said..."call telehealth" (a telephone access here, that helps to give you a heads up about your symptoms). They basically paraphrased my comment to her..."you have been seen, you DO have an ear infection which may bleed, you are on medication for it, you do NOT have cancer nor have you suffered trauma to the head. Call your doctor in the morning if it is still bleeding" Who listens to me!!! So this morning, she called her doctor who will see her at....3pm, and the appointment was later changed to 7pm! Guess the doc doesn't share her concern!!
So...life goes on in the Miller household! Sounds SO much like a soap that I should ask you to stay tuned tomorrow...same time same station! How's life at YOUR end??
hugs and best wishes....linda
