Faith... a couple of things.
First off I suggest setting your basal rates a tenth or 2 higher for the next
two days. The steroids in that shot are going to kill the sugars. Second,
diabetes causes something called a frozen shoulder. I couldn't give you the
technical reason why, but it is a "freezing" or lack of range of motion and it
takes up to 6 months to work through. I know what you mean about diabetes being
blamed for everything, but this may actually apply. Impingement is really
common. Julie had surgery for it as did I. PT usually works well and if it
worsens, the surgey is real easy. But do the PT and you should be fine. 16:40,
now that's original. CYA....... Marc

I went to the Orthopedic clinic
today with my right shoulder. It is an impengment type thing. Maybe just a
build-up of arthritis. Anyway, they gave me a shot in the shoulder of steriods,
and when they went in the 'first' time, I preceeded to faint right there on the
table. Ugh! Call me red face!! After I regained my composure, they went ahead
with the injection. I can already feel some relief and have a lot of motion
back, but I still know that there is something wrong when I move it in some
positions. Will re-start PT next week, and then go back in two-three months.
And, wouldn't you know it, they blamed diabetes for this!!! Surprise, surprise!!
Now, I'll 'really' have to stay on top of my monitering of my BG. I hate what
steriods will do to them. You all have a great day!

Good post Squats ! Now your getting
it
On Wed Sep 18 13:32:14 2002 Squats () said:
Protein powders can be dangerous
for Diabetics with impaired kidney function! Medical cautions should be heeded.
Dialysis/transplant must be avoided. Spoke with someone in a store once who had
had a pancreas/kidney transplant, which took care of the Diabetes, but the down
side was immunosuppressant drugs at 1200 dollars per month!

Domee, I was on a high does for a while
and it made my BG go crazy, after some months it was reduced to 5 mg/day and my
BG leveled off...has been ok for last year or so..if that helps.

Does the
administration of corticosteroid medication( long term) unduly raise blood sugar
in a diabetic? Are these medications contraindicated in diabetics because of
this? Domareus@aol.com
On Wed Sep 18 09:18:00 2002 () said:
Squats why don't you give warnings
about diabetics using the powder with renal function problems, I have renal
problems and was warned both by my Doc and CDE about the chemical powder
supplements and shakes you push on here. Your 'medical advice' is dangerous !
How about setting your ego on the side for the truth ?
On Wed Sep 18 01:19:30 2002 Squats () said:
FDA has nothing on Metax,
definitely no warnings! What is Metax? Neither is there a list of protein
powders on the FDA site other than powdered baby formulae! Where are the words
"in excess"? Huh? Huh? Eat too much food, you get fat! Therfore, we should not
eat? Most protein powders have 20-30 grams per serving. Amounts are higher in
some meal replacemant powders and shakes. Those can go as high as 65 grams. That
is much too much for a Diabetic under most circumstances. Pathetic to read this
false info. We who have diabetes don't deserve to be victimized by fallacious
claims. Even to the point of making up a product name and lying about what the
FDA has to say!
On Wed Sep 18 00:16:50 2002 () said:
John, almost forgot. stay away from the
protein chemical and whey food supplements that are on the market such as Metax
and others of the same type. These can cause kidney and liver failure. Check the
FDA website for a better list.
On Wed Sep 18 00:12:34 2002 () said:
John, Check Vegan. com and PETA.com,
for useful safe, no cancer diabetic diets. Also, the poster before this takes
the view that the goverment and big business conspire to keep diabetics away
from a cure to make money. This is also a extreme religious viewpoint that you
can accept or not as you wish. But, in any case beware of the red meat, dairy,
high protein cancer diets that also stress and endanger your renal function.
On Tue Sep 17 23:44:09 2002 Squats () said:
Monday's post castigating milk,
eggs, yogurt, and red meat, left out two words "in excess." In moderate amounts,
they repair tissue, build up the immune system, and keep metabolism up. But, of
course, people get money when diabetics get infections because of nutritional
deficiency.
On Tue Sep 17 23:34:10 2002 Squats () said:
John: Use a search engine and
type "glycemic index". Carbs on the low end, say brown rice, will cause less of
a quick rise in blood sugar than white bread. Having said that, you might be
able to eat something that I cannot. People differ. The general rule is "Aoid
refined carbs" like white flour, for example. Fiber, as in whole grains, slows
blood sugar rise. The FDA now requires sugar content to be listed under carbs.
Look for items with the lowest grams of sugar. You will not find a list, but
there are principles that will work, like those I have posted.

On Tue Sep 17 01:36:42 2002 Squats () said:
Borage oil is a fish oil. It
helps lower low density cholesterol and increase high density cholesterol, which
"scrubs" the arteries of plaque buildup that in time can cause blockage. No,
this fat puts little stress on the kidneys. Anyone who has Diabetes should know
this stuff! Neither is it an artificial chemical. I took the question as
legitimate. In the future please post a name.
On Tue Sep 17 01:28:46 2002 Squats () said:
Shakle: What I posted is a
standard non-vegan approach to nutrition. By all means check out the vegan
approach. But bear in mind, a vegan diet requires some supplementation to work.
To call a non-vegan approach a "death diet" is sad. I feel sorry for the deluded
poster.
On Mon Sep 16 21:04:16 2002 () said:
Shakle: Remember Eggs, Milk , yogart
and red meat are the building blocks of high BP. High cholesterol , heart
disease, colon cancer and diabetic (renal) kidney failure. So be very wary of
what you might read on here posted by some people. You might check out VEGAN.com
as well as PETA.com for some ideas other that death diets that might be
suggested to you.

On Mon Sep 16 18:18:31 2002 Squats () said:
Forgot to add this on fats. Keep
saturated fats minimal. Those are found in meat and even low fat dairy products.
Obviously lean cuts will be better. Substituting healthy fats (flaxseed, borage,
fish, grapeseed, olive, etc.) is easy and can stave off heart problems down the
road. Most of what I have posted is what a competent CDE will tell you. I don't
know why your doc didn't refer you to one!
On Mon Sep 16 18:12:17 2002 Squats () said:
Shakle: There is not one diet
for all Diabetics. Diets vary depending on gender, bodyfat percentage, activity
level and TYPE of activity, schedule of activities, long term goals (fat loss,
muscle gain, maintenance) Ideally, a visit with a competent CDE will help. Have
him/her test for bodyfat, figure out your BMR (base metabolism rate), the
minimal calories to maintain your body when doing nothing, THEN add calories for
activities. A good diet will have a balance of carbohydrate (fruits and whole
grains), protein (stick with COMPLETE PROTEINS, found in soy, eggs, poultry,
milk, eggs, yogurt, and red meat.) Some fat is necessary for hormone production
and nerve function and I have read that some fats help the body proerly utilize
proteins for tissue repair. Whether you are type one or type 2 (you didn't say)
will affect diet also. The main goal is to keep blood sugar as close to normal
as possible. A CDE can help you balance food and medication if you are on any.
Stay positive and in control of your diabetes. You can do it...you can! Pleas
post again and let me know how you are doing.

Oh sure, Jim, maybe in YOUR world of
garbage, language like you used in your post of 14:25:59 is "acceptable",
however, it POLITE society such language is crude, lewd, obnoxious and boorish.
It's amazing you continue to try to justify your potty mouth. Where's that bar
of soap when you need it? (BTW, I hope you don't kiss your mother with that
mouth!)

Hey Fate, There is no one on either
side of my family with diabetes, no grandparents, parents, great grandparents,
brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, or there children. It's a bummer you have
them. It seems your all children on here. OK Jumbo what ever you say. I've seen
the kind of language that you have used. You can just kiss my ass. I've heard
worse on tv and in movies. Get real, it's a part of ever day life unless you
leave in a closet. Do YOU?

own up to what I did not say, especially when posted by nameless fools.
