Conversation with D-parents Dayton and Sheri Coles at TuDiabetes homepage
June 13, 2013 from 1pm to 2pm
This event has already occurred, and the video will be posted in our video archives soon! Dayton and Sheri's daughter, Emily, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1978, at the age of 3. No insulin pumps, no continuous glucose monitors, no home blood glucose monitors... Emily was treated with 1-2 daily injections, a strict diet, Ketostix and crossed fingers. Each Wednesday morning before school, Dayton took his daughter to the local lab for bloodwork, at that time the only way to assess…See More

Elizabeth replied to marnie's discussion 'High Cholesterol' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Well... the thing is, with insulin out of whack, it tends to throw a lot of other hormones off, and cholesterol is one of the building blocks of a number of hormones (and hormone precursors). I tend to think that the elevation of cholesterol in…"
Kj replied to marnie's discussion 'High Cholesterol' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I love what you said. I believe our body makes some cholesterol, and that is sufficient - and we don't need any additional cholesterol in our diets. I wonder if diabetics have a risk of "high cholesterol" because of their diet. Its so…"
Elizabeth replied to marnie's discussion 'High Cholesterol' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Peanut butter is not going to contribute to your daughter's lipid levels. It has zero cholesterol. You're only going to get cholesterol from animal fats — meat, eggs, or dairy. So you might consider switching her ice cream choices to…"
marnie replied to marnie's discussion 'High Cholesterol' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Thanks Ursela and good luck. My daughter's A1C is 6.1 which I really can't see how to improve it anymore. She does of course eat cookies and icecream once in a while (I do buy the "healthier" versions.)I don't want to cut…"
Ursela replied to marnie's discussion 'High Cholesterol' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My daughters Endo explained to us that the more uncontrolled he blood sugar is the higher chance a diabetic has of having cholesterol issues.

Many (adult) diabetics do have high cholesterol and even kids which is why they are checking your daughters cholesterol. It seems to go hand in and (as well as thyroid issues). My dad, brother and I are all Type 1 diabetics (my son as…"

High Cholesterol
Hi...my daughter's regular blood work showed her LDL's were 112. They should not be over 110. All other components such as HDL and triglycerides were excellent. They say LDLs are saturated fats. She does not eat red meat or cheese. However she eats peanut butter 3 times a day. She is thin and exercises everyday. They said she should cut back on the peanut butter. No one else in the family has this issue. Anyone else? wondering if it's Diabetes related. Thanks,See More
marnie replied to marnie's discussion 'High Cholesterol'"Thanks Tim...Her HDLs are excellent, 65 and that is an awesome ratio. Her A1C is 6,1. In the meantime, I have changed to a lower fat icecream (only has it once or twice a week) and a lower fat waffle (has those 6 times a week). I also switched…"

Pen Needles Anyone?
Posted on February 26, 2012 at 8:52pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
Hi...my daughter, Sandie, age 10, was diagnosed 6 months ago..up until last week, she was on only one shot of Levimir a day...She was in her honeymoon period...Now she needs to cover two meals with .5 unit of Novolog. I was thinking it would be easier to use a pen needle because they seem like they would be easier to travel with and I hear the needle is smaller. However, my doctor is reluctant because he says they leak..Can any of you share your experiences? thanks, Marnie
