Gerri commented on Elisa's blog post 'Type 1.5 now just diagnosed with hashimoto. Frustrated!!! What med's do I start on?'"I think Hashimoto's is harder to deal with than T1. Sorry! For T1, I know what insulin doses to take & how it will effect me. Thyroid levels are more complex. Endos don't treat Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism properly. They…"

After 3 appeals and my last appeal going to a third party for review. I finally got approved. Any suggestions on how to prepare. Any good books out there regarding… Continue

ACE Inhibitors

Are any of you on ACE inhibitors? If so which one and how have you reacted to it. Anyone know if we have to be on them which one causes less side effects short term and long term.
I need everyone's help regarding insulin? I just started and need guidance. PLEASE HELP.

I was diagnosed as Type 2 and because I was thin my endo had doubts. I was put on metformin and did well on it but lost too much weight. My endo then did more tests and found out out that I was LADA, Type 1.5. They just started me on insulin and I'm a little concerned. They gave me Levemir 10units before breakfast. And then Novolog as below
Glucose: Insulin Dose:
under 100 0 units
100-150 2 units
151-200 4 units
201-250 6 units
251-300 8 units

Stacey :0)~ said… - Hi Elisa..I know diabetes can be a struggle for sure and depressing. I've had diabetes for the majority of my life so I can understand for sure! I'm glad to hear you are starting to feel better though. Depression is certainly difficult to cope with and is very common for diabetics because there is so much to learn, understand and deal with especially after you are first diagnosed. Hang in there, take one day at a time, do the best you can and continue to learn as much as possible. I'm still learning even after almost 27 yrs now!! Take care and enjoy your special day!!
