Nicole: Is your husband type one
or type two? What kind of work does he do? What is his diet like? Does he
exercise? The latter could help him gain. It would have to be primarily lifting
(little aerobics), followed by a shake with fruit, fruit juice, yogurt and whey
protein (20-30 grams) Adjustment of insulin will be necessary to cover this.

Hi Jack, I
haven't heard of that, so I would be interested in what you find out?? Are you
type 1 or 2 diabetic?

Hello
all, I'm new here. Has anyone heard of the use of caffine to help diabetes?? If
so, can you give me references as to what it does that helps diabetes? Thanks
for any help. Jack

Sarah, my
bloodsugars are constantly high at the moment and when I do go low they are
1.7mmols, which at that time I normally pass out, not that low anymore just very
high. So I'm sorta in the same boat as you :(

Tina...are you a type 1? My Dr.
friend says she had a patient walk in the E.R. at 1,000 (but not well) and
that's the highest I have heard of. At 500-600 you are in a walking coma. 540 is
pretty high.

Hi Mandy, I can't believe you get
all your supplies free, must be nice. For the test strips I use I pay about
115.00 a box. That's for a hundred strips. And I go through alot of them,
because I never know what my sugars are running. When I think I should be
running high, I'm usally low and I don't have systems any more. I wish the US
could get some kind of drug program it's just not the older ones that need help.
I know alot of people have been getting there drugs and supplies from Canada,
but they talk like they are going to put an end to that to. Life stinks,
sometimes.

e.mail me cause i dont know if i will remember this site. Thanks

Im interested
in the readings and symptoms. Like what is the highest that is really deadly? I
reached 540 on my reading and the doctor said i was lucky not to have a heart
attack and be in a coma. Maybe it just wasnt my time. How high do the reading
go?? Thanks

Sarah I guess
you dont live in the uk?, As we get all our prescriptions free. I did have to
pay for my needles but then all diabetics put up a petition and complained about
the fact we had to pay for our needles and drug addicts didnt, so now we get
them on prescription to. I dont understand why people with diabetes dont get the
drugs and everything else they need for free, after all its not a short term
problem is it?

I have gone in the store and
bought blood strips and had the check out girl give me a funny look and ask me
if that's the correct price. They just can't believe such a little box can cost
so much. And then they ask if they are made of gold! I think if alot more people
where aware of diabetic costs they would do something about it.

Sam! I can relate to the comments
here on state health care! I have no insurance here in Ca; got turned down for
relief and Medi-Cal. Fortunately, private sources have helped. I agree that this
is a power play for more spending, taxes, and votes.

Chris...hardly anyone here anymore.
Most driven out. I am just writing because I need to. What drives me crazy? I
got Pneumonia, took the drugs, now have asthma from second hand smoke. All
around me. I am now on prednisone, raises my sugars, scared, no help anywhere.
And an inhaler. No one can advertise that they have a smoke free apartment.
That's illegal. I have to buy a house, but I am too out of breath to look for
one! Sign my life away, too. I got Medicare, but they will only pay 80% for my
insulin pump supplies. There is no help for the ones in the donut hole! Maybe
the rest of the chatters fell in that too. Take care of the toe. No where to
walk here either. Sam.
