ok, following. I see you're relatively new to it, if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help. Manny uses it better than just about anyone I know.

so what's your Twitter handle? I'm @MarieBe, I'd like to follow you.

hi there AR, I just saw this
http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/media-advisory-latest-advances-diabetes-research-be-presented-chicago-worlds-largest-1770776.htm

and I know you were interested in last year's sessions in Philadelphia. I imagine Manny will be going to this one in Chicago. mark your calendar.

Finally a Cool Dude on the featured Page. Congrats

BRAVO on you state of "featuredness" acid!!!

AR:

Hope you don't mind the shortened use of your name. I'm too lazy to type the whole designation! Remember my sound problem? Well, my personal care worker and I fiddled around with it and got it to work by just finding my old cables from before I used it as a TV in rehab. We plugged one end in (2 plugs) and then experimented with the back of the CPU and, viola!, sound!!! Thanks for your input.

I don't know if you are into flowers,  but at least they match your page. How's the family?

hi AR, say, in your comment to the person trying to figure out the %age to lower basal for exercise, you posted a picture of a chart. I can't read the picture, do you have a link or could you add it as a photo to your page? thanks, I am interested in reading it.

AR, did you know that your review of DHF on GreatNonProfits was the featured review? http://greatnonprofits.org/users/profile/167747

very nice! I feel the same way.

Hi Acidrock, how are your feet? do you have to do anything special since you run? I went to a foot doctor and he checked my feet for neuropathy with some string of some sort, and a funny tuning fork thing, and all was well, but wondering if you do that too?

Hi AR (acid rock acronym :) )...

So, I'll be your first test case type 2 runner man... I used to run marathons in the 1990s, was in great shape, but gained a bit of weight and now thanks to diabetes type 2, I've lost 50 lbs now, and got the marathon bug again. I've tried a variety of diets for the last three months of my diagnosis and have been able to keep 5.6 for two months, as I test A1C monthly now to keep motivated. Lately, eating small amounts of whatever I want, except any direct sugar and most fruits i avoid. But, I eat bread whole wheat, pasta whole wheat, whole full fat milk, and have post meal readings around 110-120 at 1 hour, and 90-105 at 2 hours for the most part. If I skip my runs for a few days, then I see a few 125s and a couple of experiments with bagels, and sweet rolls got me a 140 and a 153, which was my highest two readings in three months. So, I feel comfortable that I caught the diabetes early before beta cells have completely died, but still don't know enough about the whole diabetes train to know if what I'm doing is OK or not. Doctors seem happy but they are not really connected alot with me, as they seem to busy to care beyond the a1c.....

Hi, just joined and I'm a runner... type 2 no meds, or insulin, just diabetes. just wanted to say hello.

I will look for those special shoes you are after in a size 11 1/2. I'm sure they'll have them in the village shop.

Yes you were right about buying proper shoes. No pain at the moment.

Our Annual Campaign is coming!

Would you consider helping by writing a short comment/testimonial about your
experiences at TuD? The main message for the campaign this year is that no
one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.

If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
(http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/why-i-participate-in-this-community), or
message to me from my page.

Thanks my friends!

Sending this to all my friends... didn't want to exclude you :)

Pssst.... pass it on!

I just wanted to stop by to see if you've done your Big Blue Test Today. Dont' forget that every time you log a Big Blue Test $5 is donated to diabetes charities that are providing life-saving supplies and services.

If you haven't yet, go log a Big Blue Test at http://www.bigbluetest.org/. If you have, do another!

How things going over there ? All good here.
