Allergies are killing me this year :( I saw my PCP today and she said to take Rhinocort (on top of Allegra and Mucinex). I asked if there was a steroid in the nasal spray and she confirmed that there…Continue

FHS replied to Kate's discussion 'NFL player lost position due to T2?'"Definitely lost interest but I'll still catch any games that happen to be broadcast out here.

BadMoonT2 replied to Kate's discussion 'NFL player lost position due to T2?'"Yeah I was wondering about a So Cal Browns Backer. I grew up in Cleveland watching Jimmy Brown et. all. Sort of lost interest after the move to Baltimore but not before "Red Right 88" "The Drive" "The Fumble" etc.
There…"
FHS replied to Kate's discussion 'NFL player lost position due to T2?'"Makes sense, thanks!!
Yup, So Cal Browns Backer. My Dad's side of the family is from Cleveland. I inherited the heartbreak."
BadMoonT2 replied to Kate's discussion 'NFL player lost position due to T2?'"My beta cells were being destroyed by constant high blood sugars. As I understand it insulin resistance causes a need for more and more insulin which would cause the weight gain. But at some point the pancreas starts loosing beta cells due to…"
FHS replied to Kate's discussion 'NFL player lost position due to T2?'"More my ignorance of T2 than anything else Badmoon, but as a T2, how were you short on insulin?"
BadMoonT2 replied to Kate's discussion 'NFL player lost position due to T2?'"During my 7 to 9 years as an undiagnosed T2 I first put on quite a bit of weight and then lost most of it before diagnosis. I attributed the weight gain to the fact that I had quit doing construction work and moved to sitting in front of a computer…"
Kate replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod Users"Thanks for sharing, Devildog! Glad to hear that the first few months are going well! Congrats on all your health choices - keep up the good work :)"
FHS replied to Kate's discussion 'NFL player lost position due to T2?'"This is another reason how just looking at the scale doesn't really tell you the whole picture. NFL linemen carry a lot of weight because they have to, but a lot of it is hard muscle which takes a lot of work to maintain. Having a lineman lose…"
JohnG replied to Kate's discussion 'NFL player lost position due to T2?'"Yes my brother lost down to skin and bones, he was in short supply of insulin so his body could not proses sugar and started eating itself and he has high c-peptide. I suffered the same fate when I was Dx with (low/no c-peptide <.05)."
Kate posted a discussionNFL player lost position due to T2?
Just saw this article on Yahoo today about Kyle Love who was a defensive tackle for the Patriots. He was let go after his diagnosis of T2 and subsequently picked up by the Jaguars.The article indicates that he was let go for no other reason than the diagnosis. But it also indicates that prior to diagnosis, he had lost enough weight to be…See More
Kate replied to Jim's discussion 'New pod failures' in the group OmniPod Users"Nevada - I can't answer for FHS, but I also keep it level and in it's tray and try not to disturb the pod much before it's actually primed. That's how I was trained. I've had 2 screamers during priming in the 2.5 years…"
Kate replied to BWashington's discussion '"Soundproofing" the PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"Scott - I think that we need to be prepared for the new pdm to "help" us out a lot! There are significantly more confirmation screens (thank you, FDA). My reps said that it will be like getting an entirely different system from the current…"

Would you consider helping by writing a short comment/testimonial about your
experiences at TuD? The main message for the campaign this year is that no
one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
(http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/why-i-participate-in-this-community), or
message to me from my page.Thanks my friends!
