Dear Tom, I do not need medication for any psych illness. I am not emotional,and I assure you,that asthma and diabetes and vertigo are not something you can just dismiss as fake. I don't honestly know what your problem is with me,or anyone else here on this chat. Why do you discriminate,Tom? I must remind you,Sir,that being a diabetic-anyone can be a diabetic. It doesn't matter whether one is Jewish,Baptist,Catholic,Muslim,or any type of religion or Nationality. For goodness sake,drop your racism,and try to honestly hope that all diabetics find a cure,ok?! Marc Bernstein.

Oh,BTW,poster @ 21:56:29:On May 21st=Out of interest,where did you get your medical degrees? Are you a qualified MD,or psychiatrist? What makes you think you are any type of expert on diabetes,asthma,or any other illness of our modern age? I am quite aware that you can't or won't back up any statement you wrongly make on here about anyone,or the compications of diabetes or asthma,vertigo or Lupus. Marc Bernstein.

To the rude,insensitive and utterly inhumane AP poster @ 21:56:29:=I figured that would be your response. Nothing surprises me about you. You never fail to create your own form of trying to create trouble on this chat. I don't want to get into a war of words with you. If you did have asthma,maybe you wouldn't try to behave this way. Marc Bernstein.

A rant: In time of war, all the leftist Senate can do is inquire into what Americans eat? None of their business! Ironic that the overweight senior Senator "Chappaquidick" Kennedy is holding the hearings! The culpability of the food pyramid in this "obesity epidemic" is unaddressed. Time for government to get out of this completely! Competent nutritional guidance is available from lots of private sources!

You may further ask why am I taking Atacand? To protect my kidney function. And my blood pressure has been high. I just renewed my prescription of Atacand,(Angiotension 11 AT 1 Receptor Blocker=("Candesartan Cilexetil Tablets") My druggist gave me the wrong dose of the drug. I'm on 8 mg. He gave me 16 mg. I'm returning it to him,for proper dose. Singular is (I understand) a fairly old drug for asthma,I was having alot of asthma at night,so that's why my doctor prescribed this drug.

Tuesday,May 21st,2002: Posters @ 1:32:23,and 16:56:17=Yes,my sister really does have Lupus. No,I have not mzade this up. I figure you are not really interested in my family's health,you simply want only to once again,see how much your response can upset me. You know,honestly,I am a diabetic,and I have further complications with high blood pressure,plus asthma. If you doubt me,well,what can I say in response? I just saw my GP:my asthma became so severe last week-end,he put me on a drug called Singular. It is a powerful asthma drug. I'm also taking Advair 250 for asthma. I have more than my fair share of diabetic complications,thanks very much. I deal with it all as well as I can. Thanks for your questions,but I'm telling you and anyone else on this chat the truth,ok? Marc Bernstein.

Hi Kay, I different oral combos are not bringing the numbers down. it COULD mean injections are necessary. Keep tabs with your endo; keep testing too. Wjether you go on shots is solely your doctor's call. There could be a hidden infection that could be causing the loss of control. Let us know how it turns out.

I have not been on this site in several months. I hope all are doing well. I have a diabetic question. I have been D for 10 years - well controlled until recently. My A1C jumped from 6.4 to 10.4. I am on 2000 mg Glucophage XR and numbers are not coming down fast enough. I have been on this regimen for 2 months now and fasting bs is around 250-300. Does this mean insulin is near? I return to endo in June. kay c

On Mon May 20 18:26:59 2002 FISH/FLAXSEED oil (Source To Follow) said:
Fish Oil: Omega 3 fatty acids in fish oil significantly lowers triglyceride levels in patients with diabetes. A meta-analysis from published clinical trials on the use of fish oil in diabetes concludes that use of fish oil has no adverse affects on HbA1c in diabetic subjects and lowers triglyceride levels effectively by almost 30%. This may be accompanied by a slight increase in LDL cholesterol concentration but overall fish oil may be useful in treating dyslipidemia in diabetes (Friedberg, 1998). Fish oil, like flax seed, contains omega-3 fatty acids. However, fish oil appears to have more beneficial lipid control in diabetes than flax seeds. Flax Seed Oil: Linum ustatissimum Linseed Plasma Lipid Profile Contain omega-3 fatty acids that may help lower serum triglyceride levels diabetes, however, fish oil supplements are superior. Caution - May worsen blood sugar control. However, there are several studies that show Fish oil to be superior to Linseed oil in lowering serum triglyceride levels (Kaminskas, 1992; McManus, 1996). Another study also shows that omega 3 fatty acids from vegetable sources can increase the incidence of Type 2 diabetes (Meyer, 2001). All omega-3 fatty acids should be used carefully as they can worsen blood sugar control.

Diabetic man,,CB RIGHT !! Go In or you gonna die !!

On Mon May 20 14:59:29 2002 Jim () said:
CB- Thanks for the reply. Carbs aren't really a problem for me as evidenced by my last HbA1c. I started taking the flaxseed oil capsules about 2 months ago. I believe from everything you've posted about flaxseed oil plus what I've read from countless other sources, that the oil will benefit me lots in the big picture against heart disease, but after 2 months my tri levels are even higher. I don't think the oil is contributing to that one way or another. Due to all the heart damage, any exercise that I do, is very difficult to sustain, but I am working it in and for as long as I can safely do it. That will come with time, but I'm very concerned about the rising tri levels. Jim

Siabetes man- What can you do? Go to the Emergency Room, now!!!!! Diabetic coma is where you are headed. Get help now.

On Mon May 20 14:44:09 2002 CB () said:
Jim: Too many carbs can raise triglyceride levels. Ask the doc or RD about Metr-x, twinlab products or other protein powder as source for protein. It will make reduction of animal fats easier. Ask about flaxseed oil also. Another possibility is asking about glutamine/amino acid supplementation to prevent body wasting. Again Jim, ASK before trying any of this. Also ask about beginning resistance training. A good trainer will be of great help here. Just some ideas you can check with the doc on.

Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem/question. My Triglyceride levels continue to climb with every bloodtest. Now they are at 614. Two months ago the were 520, and two months before that they were at 400. Normal is below 200 or 250 depending on what you read. I presently take 160mg of Tricor, along with 1000mg of prescribed niacin (which unbelievably hasn't affected my BS). My last HbA1c was 5.1%. Still recuperating from the heart attack but I get as much exercise as I'm able, which admittedly isn't a lot. Virtually cut out animal fats, but I don't like many vegetables. Looking for a new Dr because the one I have now doesn't treat me with enough aggressiveness, in my opinion. Hypertriglyceridemia is strongly linked to coronary artery disease, and I definitely don't want another heart attack. Anyone have any advice? Jim

Walt, stretching exercises can also help. But potassium is a good supplement, provided kidney function is ok.

On Sun May 19 18:53:41 2002 () said:
Hi Walt, yes, is very common...are several meds that help...you might also get your blood gasses checked, If I get low on postassium I also get up at night with leg cramps...However you should get your kidney function checked before taking alot of postassium...best person to help in nutrition areas is your Diabetic Educator.
