My husband is
from England where they have a national health care service. He moved here to be
with me. He works and I work. We are a part of the 40 million americans that
work and don't have health insurance, which is not a crime or anything to be
ashamed of. He has diabetes which is starting to take its toll on him. Not to
try to do everything I can for him would be a crime and something to be ashamed
of. He is only 32. Before I meet him I didn't know how serious diabetes was. Now
every night I am afraid. Purplerose I admire your courage.

I just want
the world to know: On May 27th, I lost my 36 year old brother to juvenile
diabetes after 32 years with this disease. I recomend anyone(with extra time or
money)to donate what they can. I watched my brother for the last six years
suffer through the worst of what the Lord could dish out and my God did he stay
strong. If I can prevent just ONE person from going through the hell he did, I
will. But I need your help. I don't have much money to donate but in lieu of
flowers for his funeral, donations were made to the fondation for juvenile
diabetes. Those who don't have the money such as myself can do other things to
help. Did you know there is an awareness day of diabetes? Did you know just like
with breast cancer and AIDS, there is a ribbon? Please, I beg you, do research.
Make the public aware of the killer at hand. Make ribbons, wear them, sell them,
do collections among your community or even among friends. I am about to begin
myself. All the time I've spent caring for my dying brother I can now spend
trying to help someone else. All hope is gone for my hero but there's others who
need my help, and yours. What you do today can maybe save your loved one
tomorrow. Thanks for your time.

Hi y'all. It's
great to be back. It seems like some things never change. This site is just the
same as it has always been. I guess there is something to be said for
consistency. Beth is continuing to slowly sink. They have increased her morphine
from 4 units every 4 hours to 6 units every 4 hours. The Fenegrin (sp) is no
longer dealing with the nausea. We have moved Becky from Rick's and Beth's to
McAlester with us. She had moved in with them when her doctor required her to
quit her job due to the disease. It just became to stressful for her to watch
her sister who is in the final stages of the same disease she is in the
beginning stages with. The question was contantly on her mind "How long will it
be before I am where Beth is now?" We took a few days in May and went to the
cabin on the lake. Where I taught the Tulsa grand kids to fish for channel cat
with stink bait. Gregory, the 4 year old outfished everybody including grandpa.
I had to create some excitement while we were there. I tried to come down a
steep hill on a gravel road with my electric wheel chair. I got to going to fast
and hit a bump or a rock and my hand came off the joystick control which sets
the brakes. I had a brief rodeo. Needless to say my ride lasted less than 8
seconds. I landed on my knees and fore arms in the crushed rock gravel of the
road. I laid there for a few seconds waiting for the chair to come on over on
top of me but it tipped back up right. This was early in May and Jodi is still
doctoring my knees and arms. We all know how slowly diabetics heal. We arrived
home to find the computer not working. I am a computer user not a technician of
any kind. Greg was to tied up to come see about it and it was after Becky came
that we began to examine it to see what the trouble was. My 'puter had it's
first virus ever. I had failed to keep my virus program updated and it was an
old-old one, Penicillin something or other. We ordered a copy of McAfee Viruscan
and Becky began purging everything. We did not lose everything thanks to the way
Greg had partitioned the hard drive according to Becky. All we totally lost was
our E-mail files and my E-mail address book. Becky says that this was where the
virus entered the 'puter. I hope that all of you that I previously communicated
with occasionaly on E-mail will resend me your addy. My blood sugars have been
all over the map. When my BS gets real high due to stress (Which it has
recently) and is not supported by food when it comes down it comes crashing down
into the forties. I have come from near 300 to 40 in just a matter of minutes at
times. We have had another very stressful incident in our lives recently that I
am not quite ready to share with you guys as of yet. I am not going to go back
and read all the back posts to catch up due to all the garbage that I would have
to read in order to catch up on you guys. So please let me know what is
happening in your lives either here or by E-mail. THANKS!!! Herb and Jodi

Went to Lifescan.com. Has good,
usable info. I was glad to see monounsaturated fats recommended. It looks like
recommendations have been updated. It was good also to see the food pyramid
adjusted in a healthier direction! Thanks to whoever posted that site!

Emilie I would think that if your
husband wants to stay here and use our welfare system he should work to become a
citizen. I think you expect too much of the taxpayers here to keep handing out
money to aliens.

My husband is
not a citzen and does not have any insurance. He needs to get laser treatment
for his eyes. Does anyone know what we can do? Not being a citzen he doesn't
qualify for medicare. We pay for insulin and all the other stuff but I''m not
sure how we will pay for the laser treatment. If anyone knows of any programs or
health support please let me know.

Kim and Sam: The AP's will attack for
this, so double check what is said here with your doc or CDE. It is true that
Insulin is a fat storing hormone. I am seeing that first hand. There are a
couple of other factors worth considering. First of all, there is metabolism
rate. Aerobics, of course can speed up metabolism, as can sufficient protein
intake-not high, but sufficient to maintain lean mass. Lean mass helps control
bodyfat percentage. Also, there is the Basal Metabolism Rate, the calories your
body needs when doing nothing. The trick is, lower bodyfat percentage while
preventing lean tissue breakdown. Minor carb/fat reduction combined with
sensible exercise will often do the trick. Another category is genetic.
Metabolism rate is often set genetically. The good thing is, it can be changed
for the better! I hope this helps. I got this info from sources knowledgable in
sports nutrition.

CB You can work sugar into your diet

May I ask how old you are, what type, for how long. Your turn to attack

Well, AP, you DON'T know! Anyone with
a brain knows that sugar is best avoided by diabetics except in hypoglycemic
incidents! I took issue with Instant Breakfast because it is just sugar, empty
calories. A glass of milk would be better. 16 oz. milk has 24 gms carbs and 16
gms good protein, No fat if nonfat is chosen. Of course, milk sugar is a simple
carb. For a quick breakfast, one could hard boil 5 eggs and eat 4 whites with
one whole egg. Take an apple and one or two slices whole wheat toast and you are
good to go! I suggested a product I use regularly to help the gastroparesis
situation, and I get attacked! If you are the same AP who posted Instant
Breakfast, it wasn't a very good suggestion for the reason above. I am aware of
products that many here are unaware of that CAN be used safely. No, I do not
know it all! That is why I am open to learning. It seems some people here are
not. BTW, the post above should really get you going!

CB You really are a
know it all aren't yo? How can you say we know nothing about what we are saying?
If we didn't we wouldn't be saying it would we? Maybe you should read between
the lines. Can you walk? if so, walk yourself to hell

Yes, I got the hint, but I ignored
it. This is sad. Most of my attackers know nothing about what they write. So,
why pay any attention to them. It is known, for example, that Metr-x has been
used in hospitals to prevent body wasting in people who are serious ill, but not
by the AP attackers. I care, that is why I post.

Hey everybody! Fair is fair! All I
was doing was bringing up a low sugar sub for instant breakfast. There are, of
course, others. I know well that insulin is a fat storing hormone which has its
effects on bodyfat percentage. At the same time, there are safe, healthy ways of
minimizing that. I get attacked for THIS again? OK, load up on processed fat and
sugar, you who criticize. Burn out on aerobics and wonder why the lean goes and
the fat remains. Deny all you want; it is still DIET. Sheesh! This is getting
old.
On Sun Jun 2 14:05:42 2002 () said:
Wondering, Did CB finally get the
hint?
On Sun Jun 2 09:43:51 2002 Sam (raneysam@yahoo.com) said:
Kim...insulin is a
fat storing hormone. Most of us gain weight if diabetic, unless we don't eat,
are pining, or totally regimented & live on sticks & twigs. That still
doesn't help, but part of it has to do with the body's fat storage system. It's
life...good luck.
