Pneumonia - take 2 & Metformin, weight loss
Started this discussion. Last reply by Brian (bsc) Mar 8, 2012. 4 Replies 0 Likes
So, these two darling subjects are intertwined. 30 days ago, my endo put me on strict insulin regiment with metformin for good measure. Looks like I may have a touch (there's sarcasm) of insulin…Continue

Well, it has been quite a week.I recently visited the Metabolic center in Montreal. I waited for almost a year in order to see the Endo - and the guy is totally cool. He doesn't take any guff, in a…Continue

Out of curiosity, what did you all eat for breakfast this morning? I am curious to see how we manage our BG numbers. Whether you are type 1, 2, LADA, MOBY, etc, I think it will be fun to see what we…Continue

Jason Sandeman replied to Jennitar's discussion 'Chest Pain: How do I know when it's not just anxiety?'"Take it from a reformed Panic Attack sufferer, who is a hypochondriac as well. Here's the deal - While your chest pains certainly are cause for concern, through my cognitive behavioral therapy, I have learned that it boils down to one simple…"
Jason Sandeman replied to Whirlygig's discussion 'Exercise and BS'"I agree. Now, I read the evidence the link you presented, and recognise the doctor. He has limited experience with T1D, but a lot with T2D.
The thing is, when you look at the exercise that he is talking about, it is moderate cardio. (Bike riding,…"
Jason Sandeman replied to Whirlygig's discussion 'Exercise and BS'"From my understanding, you are looking at glycogen depletion when you are working out. Yes, it is good to low carb, but facts are that while you are doing the intense cardio, you are putting a demand on your body. You have a couple of options -
1)…"
Brian (bsc) replied to Jason Sandeman's discussion 'Pneumonia - take 2 & Metformin, weight loss'"I agree with Gerri here and I would actually caution against the use of Tylenol. Despite being an over the counter drug, Tylenol is pretty dangerous and is the cause of significant numbers of deaths. Both Metformin and Tylenol must be metabolized by…"
Gerri replied to Jason Sandeman's discussion 'Pneumonia - take 2 & Metformin, weight loss'"Hope you're feeling better soon!"
Jason Sandeman replied to Jason Sandeman's discussion 'Pneumonia - take 2 & Metformin, weight loss'"Thanks Gerri!
Wow, the Tylenol and Met can cause lows. I never thought of that. In the interim, I've lowered my basal dose, and cut back my BOLUS dose a bit. It seems to be helping. "
Gerri replied to Jason Sandeman's discussion 'Pneumonia - take 2 & Metformin, weight loss'"It's the combo of Metformin & Tylenol that caused the lows. Tylenol alone won't cause hypos.
I was on an antibiotic that caused lows. My doctor said it wouldn't effect BG. Wrong.
Regarding weight loss, it depends how much…"
Jason Sandeman posted a discussionPneumonia - take 2 & Metformin, weight loss
So, these two darling subjects are intertwined. 30 days ago, my endo put me on strict insulin regiment with metformin for good measure. Looks like I may have a touch (there's sarcasm) of insulin resistance with a belly of 47 inches. Oops!At first the metformin was harsh - but I knew the side effects, and it didn't really bother me so much. When I went in them, I weighed 213.5 with clothes on. It's 30 days later, and now I'm down to 209. Is that about right for the amount of weight loss in a…See More

If your life is comprimised in any way by panic attacks, seek help. The best therapy is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. It is freakin…"
Jason Sandeman replied to Jack's discussion 'Fear of hypoglycemia'"I am curious as to what you call "intentionally running high?" What numbers?
I am deathly afraid of hypos myself. I basically just stopped taking my fast acting because of it, and ended up gaining a lot of weight. (Around 30 lbs in 1…"
Natalie ._c- replied to Jason Sandeman's discussion 'Humbled at Metabolic Center'"Raw veggies (I detest cooked veggies) and nuts are out -- FOUR teeth were pulled, so there's no side capable of chewing comfortably.

Jason Sandeman replied to SallyM's discussion 'Cutting back the carbs???' in the group Type1 for 30 Plus Years"It is helpful indded.
With this new regime, I am allotted 60 grams of carbs/proteins. (Because the proteins also break down into carbs through gluconeogensis.)

Paleo is NOT a Cure for Diabetes

Hey everyone, I wanted to post this tomorrow on my blog, but wanted to give you all a sneak peek at what I have cooking. Let me know what you all think! - Jason

I want to start out this post by saying that I have the utmost respect for Robb Wolf. I have followed his podcast and his blog for over a year now, and his book “The Paleo Solution” has inspired me to look further into the Paleo lifestyle.…

Internet Tasting August 2011 #2
Posted on August 9, 2011 at 9:06am 3 Comments 1 Like
Hello all! It has been a while since I posted a link here from my blog. Not to worry, I haven't forgotten about all of you, just needed a bit of reflection for my direction.
For the links in the blog post, I put them through the paces of my Living Cookbook 2011 that has all the nutritional information broken down. I tried to keep the CHO level below a threshold of 30 for a main meal, and 15 for a side or snack.
Hop over there and see what I found!…

Was this a Hypo????

I had the strangest thing happen to me at work today.
Before I start, I want to note that I have been checked by EKG 4 times in the last year, so the docs think my heart is great. In fact, they say that it is really healthy...
So, I am sitting down, piling through some paperwork, and I feel like my heart just... well... stopped. It started going again, but it was like a car with no gas. That happened for a second or two, then my chest felt warm.

I am at a crosspoint here folks!
I have been going a bit low despite the lack of exercise I am doing.
I have recently sorta switched to an Atkins Induction diet (but with ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS)
I barely take any Novo Rapid insulin. (In fact, I had to throw away 3/4 of my vial last month.
I am waking up with BG of 125 in the morning, but I am going down to >75 during the day. If I test at that level, I am hesistant to take the 1 unit of Novo Rapid. I am mostly afraid of… Continue
