"I so agree with the other poster, 60 is pretty low and should be avoided. Some type 2s were hypoglcemics before being dx type 2. It is also a pancreatic issue and function of the system. Your numbers after eating are great, congrats on your hard…"

Molly replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"Hmmmm....60 is technically a low, Normal is 83 for a non-diabetic. Up to only 109 after eating a meal with carbs wouldn't make you a type one, needs to higher for sure. I still think you should see an Endocrinologist, not just a family doctor…"
Mrs.Poth replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"I'm type 2 , my sugar levels stay only in the double digits. They go down as I exercise. They go up as I eat. And I take Metaformin , I think that's how you spell it. I take 500mg twice daily. I eat healthy , but every now and then I…"
furball64801 replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"You know thats the best news I have heard today, I have been wondering how you were doing."
Scott E replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"I'm glad your feeling better and not having any pains, but I'd be a bit skeptical of the "nothing's wrong" diagnosos. That just means that nothing was discovered in the tests that your doctor did. I'm not saying your…"
Molly replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"Crystal, I've been sorting through your emails and I'm sorry if I didn't see it. Have you been diagnosed with Type one or two? If you are still losing weight and your numbers are that high you are probably type one. What insulin are…"
Mrs.Poth replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"Well, finally got my results ! Took quite a while , but he said everything was normal . He said that it could possibly be me exercising . Because , to be honest with you , before I was diagnosed , I did absolutely no exercise . So , may be that…"
Brunetta left a comment for Mrs.Poth"Hi Mrs. Poth: Has anyone told ou that you look as dramatic and fetching as the singer Adele.. You really resemble her to me. Do you sing as well?
God Bless,Brunetta"
Mrs.Poth replied to Ilhaam's discussion 'Need a little love'"I'm in the same boat as you , sweetie !! I always end up 'rewarding' myself when either I loose some weight or my sugar levels are so good . And it doesn't help that my husband and family isn't dieting . So when they go out…"
Aimee replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"Hi Crystal,I had issues a couple years ago when I started a new cholesterol medicine. The side effects for me were joint pain and weakness in my legs. Once I switched to a different one it went away. From your description, it sounds like you are…"
furball64801 replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"Losing that much so fast is nice for the waistline but not for the body. If the bs are high rapid weight loss follows but I would imagine yours are good."
Scott E replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"Microalbumin has to do with protein in the urine. I'm not sure what it means, what causes it, or what to do about it, but I have that test about every 6-8 months."
Scott E replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"My experience is that family doctors tend to be a jack-of-all-trades,-master-of-none. If that's all that you can get insurance coverage for, then I suppose that's who you must see, but I'd strongly advise trying to find an…"
Mrs.Poth replied to Mrs.Poth's discussion 'Any Advice?'"Yes! I am very proud , very shocked that I've lost so much weight , but I'm proud. I don't know why I loose a pound a day. They have me on Metaformin , and my doctor said that helps me loose weight , which I'm excited about. haha…"
