Hi, I am Zoie. I'm just trying to
find info to help me with my diabetes. See what works for others, sorry if I
started something. I guess I'm the one that's confused.

To "A Bit Confused": When there is
less bodyfat (especially around the middle, and a higher percentage of lean
tissue), insulin works better, which means a slight decrease might be necessary.
BTW, your pointed pun was appreceiated. No, I am not Zoie! In type 2, better
utilization of natural insulin could be a benefit.

I am a bit comfused
by this statement. "Less bodyfat can help correct insulin resistance so less
insulin MIGHT be needed to control blood sugar." Does that mean (and I am
talking Type 1) thay instead of injecting 15 Units you might be able to inject 5
because the needles already in there and I miss the point. Or does it mean a
person whould be able to take less shots? or does this mean in Type 2s the
insulin that their body produces would be better utilized?

SAME PERSON???????????

Zoie: There are many food based
multivitamins that will work well for you. They are absorbed more easily than
those made in labs. For me, Supernutrition products have worked well. Exercise?
If health allows, doing both cardio vascular workouts and weight training is the
best. (Sorry about the posts below!!!!) Adding to muscle mass can help keep
bodyfat down and energy levels up. Less bodyfat can help correct insulin
resistance so less insulin MIGHT be needed to control blood sugar. Everyone
differs, so I can't say this will be your experience. A kinesiologist with
training in special populations, like Diabetics!, can be well worth the
investment, at leasr in getting started.

2002 Butch, Hi,
welcome to the site. I'm not on Lantus myself, but I'm sure someone who is will
post. When were you DX and what type do you have, I or II? Tell us about
yourself! I myself, have been a Type I for 34 years now. I'm on an insulin pump
since 1993. Love it!

MANDY: I
don't believe that your Chiropidist will test you for Neuropathy. He will
probably send you to a Neurologist fot this testing. It is a very simple
straight forward test. I have had it done several times. Herb (Bear)

OOPS sorry wasn't meant to send it
twice.

Robin: Neuropathy is nerve damage
that occurs when blood sugar is too high over a long period of time. Symptoms
are numbness and even pain. You might or might not get it. However, tight
control is your best protection, along with activity that will keep circulation
up. robin

I believe most of us know that.
I'm 46, type 1, 41 years. I also have been there, done this,tried that. This
disease still sucks, no matter what a person does about it.

17:04:56 AP, I am 54, type 1, for 47

dietary knowledge varies. Take care.
