I've been diabetic for over 22 years
and my family still doesn't understand or take it seriously. When I have asked
for help to stay on my diet, or someone to go walking with me they have never
been there for me. And never will, I gave up on trying to get there help years
ago. If you stopped a normal person on the street, they could tell you more
about diabetes then my family could. They are clueless and which to stay that
way.

I was diagnosed 18 mos ago.
Having a hard time taking it seriously. Have heard the horror stories of what
can/might happen. Still can't get it through my head. Family not taking it
seriously, probably 'cause I'm not. Any thoughts?

That is what this site is all about.
Getting info and help from others. Because there is a few sick minded people on
here, just ignore them and keep writing. Can't let a few bad eggs spoil the
whole bunch. I enjoy coming on here with my problems. and listen to others
problems to see if they have the same stuff going on. I have learned that you
don't always get a reply, everyone is worried about their weight, blood sugars
and complaiations. We are all in the same boat. And yes, it does suck.

Hey voice
from the past, thank you. I haven't signed into here in ages, so I am suprised
to even see my name still around, let alone someone remembering my birthday. I
will say I am curious to who would not only know the date of my birthday but my
age also. If your an old friend who wants to contact me, try
metlmarc@yahoo.com.Hope everyone is doing good. I have just been enjoying
raising the most precious little girl, although my energy level is low and it's
hard to keep up with her. I wish we had her when we were younger, but better
late than never. Take care everyone..... Marc

On Wed Mar 15 09:06:19 2006 Type II Diabetes Education () said:
This is
available and it is the patient's responsibility to ask for information. It's
unfortunate that some would use a broad brush to paint all physicians as
neglectful of their patient's health and education. That is not my experience at
all. My doctor and clinic are very active in helping Type 2 diabetics learn all
they can, make the proper appointments for care of feet, eyes, A1c tests, diet,
exercise programs, etc. Others experience may be different. If you have a doctor
that is not pro-active, then do whatever is necessary to educate yourself. I
just don't buy into placing all the blame on the physicians.
On Wed Mar 15 06:53:43 2006 () said:
i gotta agree with betty. docs just
don't spend time on this. i'm not saying it's not my responsibility, but when
you get diagnosed, you should at least be told the seriousness of it and where
to get more info.
On Tue Mar 14 09:41:55 2006 () said:
Betty, Betty, Betty. As a diabetic, and
with all of the info on Type II on the internet, saying that it isn't taught is
a major cop-out. It is YOUR responsibility to get this and LEARN IT. Think about
this the next time you're surfing for sugary cake or pie recipes on the internet
and wondering why your sugar is 500. SHEESH!
On Mon Mar 13 20:30:51 2006 () said:
To Betty, 50 years is a long time to
live with diabetes. Do you have alot of problems because of it, or have you been
able to manage it? I've had it for 22 years, but can't manage it. Have alot of
compliations.
On Mon Mar 13 15:23:29 2006 Betty Jackson (bjkiah@verizon.net) said:
What
makes me furious about education regarding managaing Diabetes, is that it's not
being taught to those with Type 2 Diabees. There are Type 2 patients being
treated by doctors who have very little information, on how to educate their
patients. I have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for almost 50 years and keep
abreast of how far research has come in managing our disease. When I talk to
friends or relatives who now have Type 2, they aren't aware of certain things
that must be done once diagnosed like; seeing a nutritionist or dietitian; diet
and exercise to help maintain managable bgs; testing bg often; being aware of
a1c; visits to dentist and podiatrist. The education for managing this disease
is sorely lacking

I would
like to hear what you think???? I have handed in my notice at work, after seven
years, as a care assistant in an operating theatre. I have another Job as a
sports assistant, I was told about 6months ago I could not go back into theatres
as I was an unstable Diabetic.... yes I do occasionally have hypos, but not that
often and I do know when I am going low, I went to my diabetic consultant, told
her what was said, she asked for a letter off my manager, who then refused and
said that it was not her that had said it, it was infact the deputy manager, she
had then said that I needed to have this log book ticked off to say that I was
compotent in theatre, I had basicly turned round and told her "how can I do
that, if you wont let me back into theatre?" There are people who are actually
scrubbing up for cases that have epilepsy, now I am not sure if they have signs
when they are going to have a seizure?? The reason I am bringing this up as I
have read that there are quite a few people in england anyway that are losing
their jobs because they have diabetes. Now I know that I wasnt sacked, but I do
feel in a way that I was pushed out....... What do you think?

minimed is who I went through, I will
call Robin and see what she has to say, maybe she can come up with
something.
On Fri Mar 3 12:46:37 2006 Sam (raneysam@yahoo.com) said:
Dear O...If you
are low income, there is a way to get a pump, with a DR's RX for one. Call
Minimed: 1-800-726-3059. Talk to Robin X 4249 She can probably direct you to
someone who can tell you what you need,,,for your State, etc. don't give up! I
had a low income, when I got my pump. I am in Minnesota. Write if you like.
On Fri Mar 3 09:02:03 2006 () said:
The dr has been trying to talk me into a
pump for years and I'm finally starting to come around to the idea. They checked
into for me and it would cost 3,000 dollars to get started. I guess that puts an
end to that. I had no idea they where that expensive. We qualify for low income
program and that would pay for half, but there is still no way we can afford
that. What do they expect people to do. They complain all the time about the
burden of the cost of meds and stuff on the older people, but what do they think
about the younger ones that are sick, they must think that we are made of money.
That makes me mad. Sure the elderly need a break but so does everyone else that
is sick. They want to stay as healthy as you can,but how are you suppose to do
that when you can't afford things. Life just sucks sometimes!

great!!!
On Wed Mar 1 19:56:36 2006 Sam () said:
We use a "basal" base, and a "bolus"
when we eat. We have a base (it can vary, imitates the pancreas, mine is: .7/hr,
total.) Also, I program units per 15 of carbo's (mine) such as.. meal: 45 grams
carbo's. program 3 units insulin (Novolog) get to eat in 15 min, plus I can add
2 units for chocolate! Yes! So, it's 5 units. Type 1 diabetes is not like type
2. I use a Paradigm pump, from Minimed. Check it out.
