brokenpole left a comment for Tara"Happy Birthday, Tara!! Hope you have a wonderful day and get to have some fun. Enjoy your special day."
Gerri commented on Tara's blog post 'Question- Is Advil bad for you?'"Hope it helps & doesn't cause more worry. Perhaps the trick is to take some that raise & some that lower BG to cancel each other out:) True, true about the pain meds."
Judith commented on Tara's blog post 'Question- Is Advil bad for you?'"Thanks, Gerri!! It seems almost daily I choose a different aspect of my upcoming surgery to worry about. I've accepted the necessity of tons of narcotics post-op, but now I'm worried about the prescriptions for post-op when I go home.…"
Gerri commented on Tara's blog post 'Question- Is Advil bad for you?'"This is a handy list of drugs that effect BG http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/images/tools/DrugListAffectingBloodGlucose.pdf"
Judith commented on Tara's blog post 'Question- Is Advil bad for you?'"Thanks, Tara, for starting this discussion. I've stayed away from OTC pain relief for the chronic pain of fibromyalgia and arthritis for 15 years because I fear the effects on kidney and liver. I found relief at Working Class Acupuncture, hot…"
"For an upcoming biopsy, the recommendation is to avoid ibuprofen for its tendency to cause increased bleeding. (Seems counter-intuitive since ibuprofen is supposed to be an anti-inflammatory.) I'm with bsc insofar as the liver's role in…"
MariaCDE commented on Tara's blog post 'Question- Is Advil bad for you?'"Hi Tara. It probably isn't the advil that's causing the high BG readings although the comment posted by bsc is correct in that drugs are metabolized in the liver and there is a potential for drug interaction. More than likely the cause of…"
Brian (bsc) commented on Tara's blog post 'Question- Is Advil bad for you?'"Advil (Ibuprofen) itself is not really identified as raising your blood sugar. It can however affect your liver since your liver must metabolize the Ibuprofen. This can increase or decrease the effectiveness of other medications (since they may stay…"
acidrock23 commented on Tara's blog post 'Question- Is Advil bad for you?'"I generally bolus for whatever I eat, including stuff like crackers to take meds with. I think that the trauma/ pain of surgery can also cause BG to rise, some kind of adrenaline response or something like that?
I was sort of nervous when I had…"
Tara posted a blog postQuestion- Is Advil bad for you?
Hey everyone, I recently had a minor surgery and to help with swelling and pain I've been taken the prescription dose of Advil (800 mg ever 8 hours). I've only been doing this for about 3 days now and I'm noticing a HUGE increase in my blood sugar levels (I'm also calling my Doctor today to ask what he thinks as well but I wanted to know if any of you had some knowledge you'd like to share!).So here's what the routine looks like, Wake up in the morning, eat 4 peanut butter crackers and then…See More

acidrock23 commented on Tara's blog post 'Introductions Are In Order'"Nice to meet you! I think that being busy helps a lot, as you have to stay on top of diabetes to do fun stuff. Although I'm certainly not as busy as you are!!"
Kelly Collins commented on Tara's blog post 'Introductions Are In Order'"I have had T1 for 20 years, if you need to vent or need some guidance ask away! Diabetes has never stopped me either, it just takes a little more planning than the average person I guess. Good Luck!"

Hello, tudiabetes, I'm Tara.
I was diagnosed 6 months and 13 days ago with Type 1 Diabetes. I'm 22 years-old, work out on the regular, and no one in my family has ever had this disease so to say it came at a bit of a shock is an understatement. Diabetes wasn't even on my radar, I've never known anyone with the disease and I knew next to absolutely nothing about it. But when the nurse checked my blood-sugar and a result of 579 came staring back at her, there was no question about it- I…
