Thanks for your answer. So they might
think they have good control, but sooner or later the meds will quit working? I
know you take insulin when your body will no longer make any on it's own. I
don't know about anyone else but my sugars are all over the place and it doesn't
seem matter what I eat. They will be high for two weeks, and I can take all the
insulin and not eat much and they still stay high. The next two weeks seems like
I can't do anything to keep the bs up. It's always been that way for me.
Everyone have a happy and safe New Years. Sherry

Sherry -- Oral medications for diabetes
work somewhat differently than injections of insulin. Some oral meds work to
stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin, usually for a 24-hour period.
Other meds work to make the body more receptive to insulin use. Still others
work to manage the liver's function in storing/releasing glucose. Some people
take a mix of oral meds to help manage blood sugar levels. One drawback to the
meds is they can give people a feeling that they have "control" when they really
don't, i.e., the individual who drinks pop and eats all day. Their tests may
indicate good control, but they are practicing poor diet habits simply because
the meds are working -- for now. I don't know that much about insulin and how it
works. Maybe someone can answer that.

about Sports Nutrition before you thrash it? Your post, I fear, betrays foolish
ignorance! BTW, he can help weak, blubbery, Americans too.

The good Dr. is Canadian. He
does have a site comparing supplements, but one must join it! We are not
discussing supplements, but appropriate nutrient levels for optimum Diabetic
health. Most diabetics, who are far too weak to do any thing strenuous, do not
need supplements anyway, other than real vitamins (and I DO NOT MEAN the std.
drugstore stuff!) We need Gordon back here!

I am aware of Dr. DiPasquale's
company. I cited him as an example of someone who DOES not go along with the
food pyramid. Nor was I recommending his supplements. About the FDA warning, I
will go back to the site to see if you are telling the truth!

Mauro Di Pasquale runs a business
called APT Supplements. He sells these to weighlifters who want to use chemical
supplements to increase lifting. Hi site includes a FDA WARNING about use of
these chemicals, Why is his supplements being suggested for diabetics,many of
which have renal and other problems ? Please explain better.

What's the difference between taking
oral meds and insulin? How do they work in the body. I know several people that
take oral meds and they drink reg pop and eat all day long. I take insulin and
if I drank a reg pop my bs would go through the roof. I'm confused about the
difference. Can someone explain it to me. Sherry

Hey ?. Check out metabolic
diets.com! The site lists the qualifications of Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale, a
licensed Canadian physician with an earned degree in biochemistry. The site has
info in a number of areas. I agree that the pyramid will work for people with
naturally above average metabolic rates with little strenuous activity. But it
will not work for everybody! See how many blubbery people order just a salad for
lunch, all carbs and fat! Know what? It does not work. Again, the obesity
epidemic. At best, the pyramid is only a starting point. As for medical
training, well, I read. I have long been attacked here for checking things out,
for asking questions. Again, how do you explain the fat epidemic without
implicating the food pyramid? Fast food is surely part of the problem, not all
of it though. That, among other things, leaves the pyramid.
