I am trying to get a handle on what makes my blood sugar do what it does. I am on 17 different medications, 3 of which are diabetes-related: 1,000 mg Metformin BID, 4mg Glimiperide QD and 5mg Byetta…Continue

Hello,I am new, both to this forum and to the "club" that no one want to join. Yes, I'm talking about Club T2 (sounds a whole lot sexier than it is). But since I received my membership card, I've…Continue

Whirlygig replied to T2rminator's discussion 'Diabetes behaving oddly'"Welcome,
I have actually been doing better with 2000 mg met. The big thing was to get my morning BG down and the rest of the day seems to follow a little better pattern. I coupled this upped dose with moderate carb (60 grams per day) diet. I have…"

T2rminator replied to Mel Wright's discussion 'Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes'"Meter's don't "lie," however they can DIFFER. It's more due to the strip than the meter. If I were to change strips, I would take blood at the same time with the different strips for awhile and compare the readings to see…"

T2rminator replied to Mel Wright's discussion 'Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes'"In my short time learning about this disease, I have learned to become wary of any absolutistic pronouncements made by ANYONE regarding how foods will affect any one person. Being a vegan is an extreme lifestyle, as would be someeone who attempts to…"
Ann replied to T2rminator's discussion 'Diabetes behaving oddly'"Lots of good advice here!
How often are you testing your BG? If you really want to get control of your diabetes, most people find that testing 8-10 times a day is one of the most helpful things they can do. Test when you wake up in the morning. Test…"
Stemwinder replied to T2rminator's discussion 'Diabetes behaving oddly'"I agree with Super_Sally you are not where you need to be with your numbers. As for the Byetta the 10 mcg dose is probably in you near future. Most people start with 5 mcg in the beginning to allow their body to adjust and then move on. Not everyone…"
Stemwinder replied to T2rminator's discussion 'Where is my membership card?!'"I love you attitude also. Lord help us we can always use more humor. I'm looking foward to future posts. Just don't sell T2 short, although the challenges are sometimes different they are just a difficult.

T2rminator replied to T2rminator's discussion 'Where is my membership card?!'"I think I'm going to call it little d, partially out of respect for the Type 1s who have it tougher than me and because I don't want this disease to get a swelled head.
I will take the treatment of it seriously, but I am determined to…"
LaGuitariste replied to T2rminator's discussion 'Where is my membership card?!'"Welcome to Team 2 and I'm very sorry to meet you (because meeting you here means you have this infernal disease, too.)
I love your attitude and your sense of humor; keep laughing in the face of Big D and you'll do just fine!

Scott E replied to T2rminator's discussion 'Where is my membership card?!'"Other than the personal food coach (many of us have those, like it or not, and struggle to get rid of them), I think all of this sounds nice. Since we're just fantasizing, of course, because this stuff will never happen.

Stemwinder replied to T2rminator's discussion 'Where is my membership card?!'"I love the proposed benefits and think they are deserved but I still don't think I would voluntarily join this club no matter how good the benefits were. Given a choice I would have passed. But since this was a forced membership I agree a few…"
