"thank you" twice! I think you misread the statement and were too quick to
judge. Don't be such a bitch.

I am diabetic and also suffer from
fibromyalgia. That affects the joints and soft muscle tissue. It can be really
pain ful. I do alot of massages and streching and that seems to help. Have you
talked to your doctor about your problem?

I am
diabetic and probabaly was a borderline case for the past 10-15 years. It was
not detected and was detected only recently. During my earlier days I used to
feel tried and mentallya dn physically very exhauseted but was unable to
comprehend the cause for teh same. Since my diabetes has been detected I have
been feeling better gradually, however I am still having this continous muscle
pain in my middle back which temporaraily subsides with analgesics. However I am
not able to find a permanant solution to the problem. I have also started to
walk which graually helps me and have been taking regular massages also. Please
advise if there are any remedies for the same.

Sandra, you really need to talk to a
dietian. We all expencence high blood sugars, it's usually because we eat to
much and don't get enough insulin or exercise.I would say 4 to 6 cups of hot
chocolate a day are to many. I use milk to bring me out of a low sugar.BS has a
habit of going up during the night for alot of people. I can't tell you what to
eat, it's different for all people that's why you should talk to a dietian. They
will go over everthing with you. Good luck

It depends on each person. I test at
least 6 to 10 times a day. When you've been on insulin for along time you don't
get the feeling any more that your going into low sugar. So I test alot to be on
the safe side. If it is running high I take a little insulin and if it's low I
eat something. But what works for one person doesn't always work for another. I
would say you should probably check it at least three times a day. And maybe
check it at different times each day so you know what your bs are doing before a
meal and after a meal.

Glycemic Index surprise! One
would think Grapenuts, a high fiber cereal, would be low on the list. Not so! It
rates a 96, on the high side. Of course, 1/2cup to a cup of nonfat cottage
cheese will lower the figure for the whole meal. To help sugar control, it makes
sense to never eat carbs by themselves, except during hypoglycemia. Once
recovered, a serving of grain bread with tuna fish will help prevent a
recurrence. A moderate fat serving, say 1 tbsp peanut butter, helps also.

Nigel: Are you sedentary? If so,
a SLOW beginning of regular activity might help, along with a glucosamine
supplement. Start with short walks or stints on a treadmill. As flexibility
increases, leg extensions at a gym will help the knees and a few sets on a
pecdec will help as well. Start light and work up from there. Resistance
excercise over the long term can strengthen tendons and ligaments. That should
help the pain! Take care

Hi, I am 23
years old, 10 years as a type 2 diabetic in Brisbane, Australia this year. For
over 6 years, I have had increasingly severe join pain, beginning with my knees,
in which they stifen up and it is hard to straighten them without a lot of pain.
It has moved to my back, shoulders and spine. I have had daily headaches for
longer and no doctor or specialist can tell me what is wrong with me. My
Endochrinologist tells me my diabetes are in excellent control and the best I
have heard is that I 'might' have tendenitas but there is no way of treating it
properly. Most GPs have told me that they cannot do much for me and that it is
unusual for someone of my age to have such pain. Can anybody PLEASE help me?! I
am getting desperate. I really want to know 1. What is actually wrong with me
and 2. What can I do about it??!! Nigel.
