What's a good blood pressure? and
what is concered to low? I haven't been feeling good since I started a new blood
pressure pill. I just took it and it was 128/57. I don't know if it's the pills
or something else. But I guess with diabetes it's always something else.Z

Some people still come and read to
see if they can learn something, they are afraid to post. This shouldn't be a
place to make fun of people.

Hmmmm! No posts since yesterday!
Thanks to certain posters who brought hate to a site ostensibly started to help
people, many no longer bother with this place. Sad!

Caity, any questions you have,
please post. IF I can help, I'll do my best. My husband will have a CAT scan
monday on his kidneys. I sure hope it's the glucophage that is causing the
changes they are seeing on his test results. You all take care this weekend.

Caity: I will try to answer any
questions you have. Today is Saturday. BS was 108 this am. Back, legs, arms,
chest are either stiff or sore. No gym today. Trained hard this past week, ouch!
heh heh. However, I may do some cardio to loosen up a bit.

Remember the good report a posted
about my husband, well, yesterday his doctor called him and has ordered a 24 hr.
urine collection and he is to get an appointment for a scan on his kidneys. We
know he has a cyst on one of his kidneys, but some of his previous results show
some possible problems. What, I'm not really sure about, it could be the
Glucophage. I'm sure they will find the culprit soon.

Sounds like hyperinsulinism to me!
Sometimes this does become diabetes. Generaally speaking, this can be controlled
with a high protein, low simple sugar, moderate complex carb diet. The glycemic
index can be very helpful here. Grapefruit, brown rice, whole grain pastas,
yams, and oatmeal can be useful carb sources. Protein powders are also useful
here; some are formulated to go into the system more slowly.

Well, my husband, TypeII, saw his
doctor the other day and she was amazed at how well he is doing. His A1c went
from a 7 to a 5. His cholestrol went from, are you ready for this, 1200 to 220.
His BP is also back in the normal range, in fact it is almost getting too low at
times. When he bends over sometimes he gets pretty dizzy. After all, he is on a
total of 3 different BP meds. She said 4 months ago he was close to being put in
the hospital. He has lost over 20 lbs. and staying well within his diet limits.
If only I did so well! I say all this to say, It Can Be Done! Now, if only I
would follow his example.

Z, your BP may be too low....pills
caused same with me, I suspect you are also on "water" pills, thus you need the
potassium to prevent cramps in legs and pounding heart....ask your Doc as you
may be on too many BP pills...

The disturbing part of it is that it happens very often and it is rarely
caught on video. I would rather they concentrated on eliminating it.

More on avoiding lows (from someone
with lots of experience with them!) If one is going to be physically active more
than normal, try to plan therm the time of day when BS tends to be higher. If on
a sliding scale, it is too easy to over compensate for highs. If after dinner,
for example, you tend to run higher, go to the Mall or the gym to get it down.
Much has been said recently about multiple small meals. This keeps a constant
flow of nutrients into the system. Keeping them small will also prevent surges
in blood sugar. Also, eating protein with each meal helps even out bs readings.
In the middle of the day, a low-carb Pure-pro or Metrx shake is helpful;
prevents the low but doesn't send bs through the roof. There are plenty of good
products in this category. On the other side, Slim-fast, Glucerna, Ensure etc
are junk, nutritionally, they are poor. If lots of fruit is eaten, pick fruits
high in fiber. To slow down the effect of fruit juice, there are lots of green
powders that will provide plenty of fiber. CAREFUL use of oils can help also. As
I posted earlier. balance is the key!

Check out a couple
of stories on Yahoo that talk about ways to possibly reduce the chance of
experiencing diabetic retinopathy. Some researchers suggest sleeping with lights
on -- some suggest bright lights while others say even just a night light is
good. The idea is to reduce the stress on the eye trying to focus in a dark
room. Here's the link to Yahoo diabetes news:

Let's see, I had a 'hissy fit', no
a 'HUSSIE fit', right!? Honey, you ain't seen a hissy fit!!! 07:24:42, yes I saw
your post on prednisone and diabetes, but you were right it got lost in all the
other garbage on here. It's hard to post anything on here regarding diabetes,
because no matter what one posts our 'little minded' friends turn it around to
try and put one down. But, I'll try harder in the future!!

post about diabetes instead of posting your little hissy fit??????? or is it

Faith, I am sorry you missed my post at
10:01 yesterday about the possible effects of prednisone & diabetes.
However, it is quite possible to miss something diabetes-related with all the
childish messages on here. Oh well *shrug*
