Carolyn,

You are responding to the wrong person. It was bsc who made that comment, not me. bsc said that I was being nice & he questioned you.

To answer your question about Dr. Bernstein, you can get his book Diabetes Solution at Amazon. He also has a book with recipes, but it's not worth the money. You can find far better recipes at any low carb recipe site.

Hi, Carolyn, I had the heel spurs too about 15 years ago. I had the shots, therapy. Of course you have to give up high heels, and wear athletic shoes with good arch support. I also used orthotics, a specially made insert. What happened to meis, one day, I woke up, and they were gone and never came back. I know, it sounds too good to be true after all that time of waking up and feeling like I had someone pounding 10 penny nails in my heels. I know how painful they are!

As for the breakfast - here - is one discussion we had. There are many. If you go to the "Forum", and then choose "food and Eating " and then Search for "breakfast" you will find other old discussions on the topic. I've been around here for quite a while, and I can help you find things. We are here to help each other. Together we are so much stronger than trying to deal with diabetes alone.

Hi carolyln, Yes I'm a T2. My sugars were up to about 280-300 at one time. Doctor put me on Byetta along with my Metformin. Byetta is not insulin but it is a shot. I take it twice a day. It seems to help. When I get high I find that a brisk walk and plenty of water brings my sugar down a bit. Good luck.

Welcome to Tu Diabetes (not part of Welcoming Committee). I regret I am not familiar with symlin. It appears I am insulin resistant because I require a lot of it to get results; 80 of lantus at night & approximately 50 units novolog with meals. I have heard that using Levamir (sp) instead of Lantus may reduce the possibility of weight gain. I have had T2 diabetes about 16 years. I don't know whether you should advocate for insulin now. It really depends on how well you are managing your diabetes. What was your last A1c? I just switched off orals in March 2009 and will shortly be getting next A1c results. Btw, was your most recent fasting bloodwork 285 mg/dl?
