Rich, If your hand was immobilized even for that short a period, stiffness can be a problem. Therapy and exercise may restore full use. RE infectiuonsm good control and sufficient vitamins to beef up the immune system can go a long way toward avoiding infections.

Faith, your caution is well taken. I sometimes wonder why kidney tests are not done before these drugs are prescribed.

The Glucophage warning is sending my husband to the doctor. He has some kidney problems already, and as the warning stated, it has been proven those D's w/heart or kidney problems have experienced serious effects from the drug. And he was doing so good with it!

Diabetes without Drugs. I have a 13 week course that I've been using in my office with excellent results. http://diabeteswithoutdrugs.com

pswadkins: I agree with Faith that diet instructions may be necessary. An RD or CDE who specializes in type 2 might be of real help. Check out the glycemic index gfor help with carbs that won't throw the blood sugar out of whack. Many good carb sources are inexpensive. Just a couple of ideas!

pswadkins, has it been awhile since you have gotten potty training? It may be time to go back and get a refresher course. Love, Faith

Faith you don't have to post stuff like that. Not all Catholics are bad.

pswadkins, What kind of diet does your medical team have you on. If it has been awhile since you have gotten training on the do's and don'ts of what you should be eating, it may be time to go back and get a refresher course. I too have difficulty with my weight, and yes, insulin and some of the oral meds can help put weight on. I strongly urge you to check back with your doc and request diet instructions.

have been looking for some help with what is happing for me and so far have come up with zero that applies and or works for me. I have type 2 and have been aware of this for 17 years, was informed I was "undiscovered" with this for several years prior to this date..who knows I was not tested till then. My problem--low income so keeping medication is a REAL problem,have been through several programs-they just go so far. My weight is totaly OUT of control..I stay active but see negative results. Was told medication is the culpert. I want to be healthy and productive, but feel I am fast loosing the battle. Are there any sugestions?

Hi Faith! BG this AM was 53; too low! I know what you are saying about BGs, who knows why they go awry?

Hi all! I'm still battling my morning BG. I think I have it under control and pow, it's up again. Well, I hope you all are doing better in that area, then I am. Have a good day!!

There is a series of diets labeled "ketogenic", which are dangerous for a diabetic! They are so labeled because they put the body into ketosis, Even for the non diabetic, they are not healthy. Yawn!!! To 18:54:44, Since when is asking questions an attack? Those questions are fully in order and any CDE would be glad to hear them! We need to pick the brains of medical professionals. That isn't attacking them; it is part of benefitting from their knowledge and training.

another CB attack on medical professionals....his pathlogical hatred caused by his failure to become a doctor....eating away at his little life...

Funny! My post about greens motivated your post! "What plant does insulin come from?" How about asking the CDE about vitamin deficiency and its symptoms? You may find they are identical to alleged Diabetes complications! Ask him/her how to beef up the immune system decimated by insufficient vitamins and minerals.

Today, it is chest again, plan to go intense again. Still on a reduced (not eliminated!) carb program. I mentioned Metr-x RTD, infinitely superior over the glucerna or slimfast junk! Only 3 gm sugar per can, 15 gm carbs. Similar products by EAS and or ABB are available. The increased interest in low carb, low sugar foods makes things much better for those of us with D. Again, not everybody can use these, but with the CDE's guidance, they might be usable. Most companies have websites that can be consulted for info. Time to crash.

Anita: thanks for the post; I enjoy reading those newsy items! Even with D, there are good things in life to talk about. I am getting over a broken wrist and foot now. Getting to the gym more to aid healing (and to get rid of the little "pot" I have been growing! heh heh! Just finished a Metr-x RTD for dinner. It will help drop some of this blubber! Found a health food store near me that sells organic produce (baby green salad mixes, cauliflauer (sp?)tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, yams, leaf lettuce, squash) all at good prices. Their apples are great, too. Some days, I eat 5 of them. Anyway, good to "hear" frolm you,

Hi Yall, had a happy everything day at the house today. 2 grandcritters graduating, one from college, one from High School, one other having a birthday, Jerry and I celebrating an anniversary, 4 celebrating happy mother's day, and 5 generations under one roof. What does this have to do with diabetes??? Simple, everything that a diabetic undergoes, stress, food, work, even love effects that good old blood sugar, and we had all of those things going today. I have had wonderful readings all day because I enjoyed the company more than the food. Had 20 people all together and was wonderful. Love yall, Anita

Jon, is true about the predizone, caused my BS to go crazy. I went to a diabetic educator that only delt with transplant cases....the DE will work with your transplant coordinator and your chief TP Doctor...it took me several weeks to regain control as I went from oral meds only to 6 injections a day and passing out. However, as they back off the predizone as you get through the critical rejection period after the graft,the diabetes, if she does indeed develop it, will come into control....I have had one acute rejection where it was necessary to increase the predizone from 5 mg a day to 1000 mg/day to stop the organ rejection...it did cause my bs to go crazy but settled back as I decreased the prezizone...so, not to worry....sometime soon we may all get off that nasty predizone.....to read about it try Novartis.com
