Howie767 commented on april's blog post 'NOVOLOG FLEX PEN 70/30'"As you probably know, NovoLog 70/30 is a mixture of analog basal and bolus insulins in a fixed ratio of 70:30%. It's purpose is to reduce the number of daily injections you require by combining them. There are other mix ratios but 70/30 is by…"

april replied to albion's discussion 'Strange vision at normal levels of sugar'"we are a bit different. I know when my sugar levels are high I get the eye issues as well, sweats, shakiness, fast heart rate and palputations. When I get low like tonight which really isn't low 124 sometimes the same thing happens and joint…"
april replied to Leslie65's discussion 'Severe Insulin Resistance'"You may not be resistant, but worsening. From what I have been reading since I have the same problems you do. I went from being prediabetic, to 1 500 metformin, to 2 500 metformin to 1500 metformin. Then to 5 different other meds. I didnt realize…"
Zoe replied to april's discussion 'Started insulin 2 days ago, any pointers?'"I have no idea what you mean by "line 8", but I'm assuming you are taking Lantus or Levemir?
I agree with Gary that frequent testing is required even if your doctor doesn't say so. I would also test two hours after eating to see…"
Jeff Simms replied to april's discussion 'Started insulin 2 days ago, any pointers?'"make sure you stay consistent with it. if you miss a day, especially with your long lasting insulin it can take you 2 or 3 days to get back on track."
Stemwinder replied to april's discussion 'Started insulin 2 days ago, any pointers?'"Frequent testing till you know how the insulin effects you is a good idea and a continued consistent test schedule is not a bad idea either. Headaches can be caused by low bg. Low bg symptoms can come on even if your not technically low. If your…"

april replied to PedsRN's discussion 'Attitudes of Healthcare Professionals'"def stay away from the statins if you can..I know from myself and others on blogs on the internet they cause so many side effects that sometimes don't go away at all..especially muscular pain. In Europe, once you do become diabetic the statins…"
april replied to PedsRN's discussion 'Attitudes of Healthcare Professionals'"I am a T2 and we get a bad rep for it. Seems that most doctors think that its your fault. I've done everything to change. Whoever heard of eating 10 pretzels and your sugar shooting up to 290. This is crazy. I can't eat bagels, can't…"
april replied to PedsRN's discussion 'Attitudes of Healthcare Professionals'"I know that feeling...my endo doesn't understand that you CAN have side effects from 6 different diabetic medicines. Been working with him for over 3 months. Finally decided to give me insulin. grrrr.... I barely eat anything that can increase…"

- heart ablation in 2005 for a SVT. I was resustitated.
Have been fine since then until February.
Started getting nausea and vomiting every so often.
Went to cardiologist, he admitted me for 5 days.
High blood sugar and high bp. I get pins and needles in hands and feet, burning sensations in head,eyes etc.
Never feel myself anymore and I'm sick of it to be honest. I quit smoking 7 months ago, figured that would help seems it made it worse. I lost 20lbs before only to gain 27 back from not smoking. I did gain back a lot of money tho. I am trying to work on my weight but I seem to have urges at night to eat. I see a therapist now, and I am on xanax twice a day to keep me from going crazzzy. That's funny right?? we take or don't take meds or addictive stuff to make ourselves feel better but to be prescribed more meds to counteract the other. Makes no sense to me..=)
