Hi Daonna F..........

Diabetics with Multiple Sclerosis & anyone interested is welcome to join us. Type-1 diabetes & MS are both autoimmune with a documented mutual link. Having diabetes & MS presents a more complicated situation of management and complications.
I look at ALL my numbers, a1c, indivual AND meter averages.
A!C gives me a good overall indication, but needs to be taken with a grain of sodium.
Meter averages, well my meter gives 7, 14 and 30 day averages. What I like about those is it shows ...

Robert Miles said… - The person I saw with MS (but not diabetes) was already using a power wheelchair (but still working) when I first met him. He had a van he could drive the power wheelchair into, so that he could drive to work.

Joan Powers said… - Hey! How are you doing? It's been a while since I've been on here. How did your dr appt. go? I got way more than I bargained for when I was at the dr. last time. In fact, I'm still dealing with it.
I think having both MS and diabetes is really hard. There's a lot to deal with and it's different for everyone. I hope we can support each other through all of the good and bad.

- Well......its been a stormy week.....
Strange as it may sound, I am excited about being sent to the MSU MS (multiple sclarosis) clinic and expect to find out when I go Monday. IF the MS Dx is confermed and become formal, then I may be able to get treatment. I just hope is RRMS and not SPMS. This may also explain so much about my diabetes being wierd as well.
There is a linkage between autoimmune T-1 and MS and I started a new group here for diabetics with MS.
For what seems forever everything got blamed on my diabetes, that is till I saw a new eye doc who explained WHY my diplopia was NOT diabetes related. I have had diplopia since I was 18. one thing led to another etc etc etc so maybe just maybe I will learn WHY I became a GOMER and instead of going down hill may be able to level things off a bit, or even improve things like my mobility.

Marps said… - Hi!
Was wondering what your "freak out" numbers are. What's too high for you?
And too low?
What's the lowest "high" number that you would inject to correct? 150? 200?
I'm trying to rein in my numbers. Waiting to hear back from bloodwork to see how my last A1c was... hoping it wasn't too bad.

- See I was a little worried because sometimes I see a little bit of lingering bubbles ... but they never last more than well i'd say 30 seconds to a minute tops....my doctor did blood work and multiple strip tests and said because the bloodwork was so excellent he and the tests at all times of day have came back negative he was not concerned..maybe just the meat I had eaten before or glucose in the urine making it appear that way..
So basically if its foam it would last A WHILE?

- I read in a comment on another post about foamy urine...I've always been curious about this as a lot of people get normal urination characteristics....bubbles caused by forceful flow..as opposed to foam which I would imagine looks something like dish soap?
So I guess the question is what does "Foam" due to protienuria look like?

- Well I had my second apt with the new NEPH...............I switched nephs cause the first one was sloppy..... lol. Never bother to check my Vit-D level for one thng, and it was VERY LOW, like 4 and should have been 30+! After my first labs wih the second neph she put me on Vit-D, told me she would check it again in 6 weeks, that was today (labs last week), Seems she FORGOT she even put me on vit-D. When I went to pick up my lab slip last week I asked about the vit-D check missing (the suposed reason my this apt), the nurse told me they check it at the end of the initial script. . When I was ready to leave, I asked her if I was to stop the vit-d when it ran out in a couple weeks since she did not re-new it, so she wrote a new script..Did she even bother checking my chart or her own notes?
I think I am ready to DUMP yet another doctor. and I am ready to SCREAM!
She THINKS my CKD is from diabetes and HBP. ALL indications are otherwise, low protien leakage, no retinopathy, both are sings of diabetes related CKD, and is the HBP causing the CKD or is CKD causing the HBP? Well I sure do not know, and neither does she.
She is new doc part of a large group practice and I am thinking of asking for another doc.
