"I also agree with Professor Gale - especially after my doctor ordered a test to see how much insulin I produce. Results? Normal insulin production. So.....why is my BG high? My doctor's only answer, "Insulin resistance."

xring replied to Dr.T's discussion 'Breakfast'"I really liked cold cereals (especially the sweetened ones), so when I learned about processed foods, I dreaded eliminating them. But, I've found a way to still have cold cereal - I just make it myself with different ingredients.

xring replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'Toenail black and toe turning red - should go see doctor?'"I also had an issue with my big toe. It started turning pink & began to get wrinkled. I happened to be at my endocrinologist & I asked him to look at it. He said, "I'm not interested...go see a foot doctor." (I won't be…"
xring replied to Larry K.'s discussion 'Feeling cranky??? because low b/s'"When I'm low I don't get cranky; I get scared because of the severe symptoms I get, even when I'm near 100. I do get cranky in private because I can't eat what I want. :-)"
xring replied to Ramon Paulino's discussion 'Does anyone heard or knew somebody getting cured of Diabetes II?'"Thanks. This one made my day! I don't have a problem with dirt in my colon ever since I stopped eating dirt.
In 5 to 8 hours, expect severe diarrhea like symptoms in the early morning as your body violently purges dirt from deep in your colon."
xring replied to wayna's discussion 'Always Starving.....'"Wayna, I've been in the same boat for the past 4 years. I'll eat a normal meal, then I'll be hungry 30-60 minutes later. On some days, I snack constantly instead of meals. I'll eat one meal - all day that has no beginning or end.…"
xring replied to OBX OMA's discussion '65, just diagnosed with Type 2, doing well on low carb and glucose monitoring.'"Hmmmmm, your husband & my ex wife should have been introduced. 30 years ago, at 405 lbs. when I decided I was determined to lose weight, she did everything she could to sabotage my efforts. (she was also overweight, but only about 80 lbs). Every…"
xring replied to Mia's discussion 'In trouble here...'"Mia, guess what my doctor told me about my low symptoms when I'm near 100? Exactly what yours told you. She also said that after not treating (when I'm above 70), my body will get used to interpreting 70-100 as normal & the symptoms…"
xring replied to Mia's discussion 'In trouble here...'"Mia, how do you feel physically when your BG is "normal," meaning 80-140? Do you have any low symptoms? That may cause you to snack more often. I was diagnosed four years ago & whenever my BG is anywhere near 100, I start sweating,…"
xring replied to Starfire's discussion 'Interesting video on diabetes/ketones/high fat'"Well, this "new" research is nothing I haven't heard before. The researcher focused on kidney function & kidney health - ironic because excess protein is known to be very hard on the kidneys, which are already stressed by diabetes…"
Brian (bsc) replied to xring's discussion 'New Warning About Januvia & Byetta'"All drugs have some effect on the human body, otherwise they wouldn't be useful. After lengthy study, we can learn about the serious side effects and how often they occur. Both Januvia and Byetta have been studied and been on the market long…"

Just saw another one of those "Call this attorney if you took (this drug) & were diagnosed with (this disease)." This is the first warning I've seen about Januvia. If I'm not mistaken, Januvia has only been on the market for 5-6 years & they're warning about Pancreatic Cancer for both Januvia and Byetta. I've only heard about Byetta being linked to Pancreatitis, not cancer.When I was diagnosed in 12-08, I was given both Metformin and Janumet. I only took them for one month, then decided…See More
