Mohanned replied to Susan Lopez's discussion 'Can you change from Type 2 to Type 1?'"Yes it's called 2ry failure type2,it depends on which oral anti diabetic medication a person is using (specially those working by stimulating beta cells to produce more insuline),think of the beta cells as workers,the more they work the more…"
"I'm only an expert when it comes to my D but I did have a friend who many years ago was dxed as T2. As years went she was treated with orals and insulin...fast forward to 17 years later when she became very ill and was hospitalized. Finally she…"
"Here in the U.S. we also have Type 1 and 1.5. My educator consider 1.5 also as a 1. Either way you look at it it's all Type 1."
Fenderstratocaster replied to Susan Lopez's discussion 'Can you change from Type 2 to Type 1?'"they call this 1.5 in the UK, i went from being diagnosed with type 2 to 1.5 within 4 years. its strange because I have a very healthy life style and when i get new medication it works perfectly for a few months then stops working all together. 1.5…"

Finally had to have my GP join the fight, he…"
Kelly WPA replied to Susan Lopez's discussion 'What should I do? Please help!'"I would definitely call your doctor first thing in the morning. If you have some Neosporin, put that on it until you can get to the doctors and make sure you push them to get in right away. Do you have a good podiatrist? And by good, I mean one that…"
What should I do? Please help!
I was just at a local store trying on pajamas, and as I was putting one leg through and stepping down I felt a stabbing pain in the ball of my foot. I looked at it was a straight pin that went through...I swear it went in until it could not go further, like hitting my bone. It bled a lot through my sock and on my shoe. At the store, they gave me alcohol wipe and bandaid but I'm wondering if that is enough. I can't remember when I had my last tetnus shot and I am concerned that pin just laying…See More

I had my 3 month check-up and I am so pleased that my A1C has gone from 7.1% to 5.8%. My Triglycerides have improved ENORMOUSLY. I am so thrilled. I got a Onetouch Ultrasmart glucose meter and I am learning how to use it. I know it has been out for some time but it is new to me. I have been having fun playing with all the graphs.LOL
Well, I…
ContinueOvernight Low????
Posted on September 25, 2007 at 11:27am 5 Comments 0 Likes
I am confused. Just when I think I am getting a firm grip of controlling my BG's, I start waking up high. This has been happening for a couple of days now. My BG is 95 at bedtime and then in the morning, I wake up to 160. All day I have excellent control. 2 hrs after meals it has been 140 or lower. Could it be possible that I had a low overnight so my liver dumps out all this extra glucose? I don't think that this is the dawn phenomenon since this has only been occuring the… Continue
What Scares Me...

Now I have not yet gotten to the part where I am doing everything that I should be doing. I am halfway there. I have been eating very healthy and have gone from eating out everyday at least 2 meals a day to bringing my (healthy) lunch to work and cooking dinner. That was a major transformation for me, after all, I work full-time and commute one hour each way to work. It takes time to plan. I have to do more shopping etc. I have a husband and three boys etc. Ok, now that I have that…

I just want to introduce myself. I am very new to blogging and belonging to any kind of network like this. I just know that it helps me a great deal when I read everyone's day to day posts. I have been on & off with doing what I am suppose to. I'm doing excellent right now. I hope that when I go back to the doctor at the end of October that my A1c will have improved tremendously. My BG's have certainly improved. Along with that I have also encountered some scary lows, but that has only…
