Faith... this series coming up after the next, with San Antonio and the
Lakers is going to be a great series. Maybe we can make a friendly wager? Wait
until 2-3 months from now. Minimed said they will be introducing a
"softserter"type device for the Silhuoette. It's not bad, but the needle is
intimidating. You should give it a try just for comparisons sake when they come
out with that. Gordo.. he probably won't be around to admit it. But your right,
not worth the effort. Hey Jim.. so you picked the Lakers? Well it's not like you
were gonna pick Cleveland, right? Hope you start feeling better soon. I thought
some of the burdon(sp) was lifted, are you still dealing with the same stuff?
Well, take it easy boys and girls.......Marc

My son's a swimmer - they
burn 10,000 calories a day in training, maybe more....most of the meals when my
son was seriouly swimming 8 years ago, were in the pasta family...he's scared to
death he'll inherit my "D" stuff...all athletes when contenders, are in great
shape...Great for Gary Hall......he won 2 Gold Medals and is trying to beat
Diabetes. He deserves a great deal of respect from all us, he could have given
up but didn't. He is a fairly new diabetic, and young....it sure didn't stop him
and just made him more determined to go for the gold.

Thanks for the responses. I know well
diabetics have and do compete in professional sports AND I guarantee you that
they do not follow the ADA recommended percentages. If they did, their careers
would end. BTW, this proves my point!!!!!

Now Marc, why was
I not surprised that you were for the lakers? LOL All I can say is, we'll just
have to see! I sure am liking the quick-set. I still haven't decided if I want
to try the silhuoette or not. I like the fact the quick-set has a quick-serter.
I'm chicken about the silhuoette having to be inserted by hand. It sure looks
better when you temporarly disconnect and don't have a 'tail' hanging loose. LOL

Fracces, please
fill us in with more details if possible. Is she a type 1 or 2? Is she seeing a
diabetic specialist? We can help with some of the issues if you can give more
details. The general normal bs is around 120. Some doctors will adjust that to
fit each case. A food plans sure helps keep better control but a lot of issues
in life keep the bs changing. Testing bs is also a must! This is not a guessing
game. I hope this helps and ask away we will try to help. Love & Luck, Misty

Good morning
everyone. CB- I would rather have emailed you this but you leave no address.
When first diagnosed 14 months ago, I lost 56 pounds, took on an exercise
program to keep it off, and to this day I am very careful what and how much I
eat. I didn't change a thing in my regimen and in 4 months I've gained back 30
pounds. Guess what caused the weight gain? Two of the meds! Lots of meds out
there that keep us alive WILL cause weight gain. Think about that before you
make your next ludicrous statement. One more thing, people like me cannot do
intense sports but it has NOTHING to do with my diet. Severe neuropathy in my
feet has weakened my ankles so much that I've twisted them, cracked bones etc. 8
times in the past year. Hi Marc, I picked the Lakers to take it all months ago.

I am the

220 are normal for a teenager. She also fluctuates a lot to lower levels. Is it
more important to see her physician or a nutritionist?

CB...
I wouldn't touch your last post with a ten foot pole. Athletes, I really only
see basketball players in great shape. Football players, half are gigantic.
Baseball players, well look at Matt Williams, Curt Chilling. They look like
couch potatoes. Golf, well that aint I sport. All I will say CB is your point
has been made several times over, and your proclamation that there is no need to
debate this anymore is confusing. Who are you still debating it with? My point
has always been moderation. If you increase your protein in moderation cool, if
you overdue it, you will pay a price. Time will answer that one. Well I guess I
will touch that post. Your comments about being a couch potato and to look
around you at the obesity that the doctor prescribed diet causes, you are so
wrong in saying that. First off, that is why people say you call people a fat
cow. Because that is what you are saying. But have you every looked around and
saw overweight people at your doctor's office and thought that maybe them being
overweight is WHY they are diabetic, and not the diabetic diet CAUSED them to be
overweight. You show zero compasion for those unfortunate enough to be
overweight, and you act like they are just a byproduct of being lazy and eating
wrong. You really are the most unsympathetic person I have ever seen. Have fun
pumping iron today, I am sure you and your buddies will huddle in a corner and
laugh at all the fat people.......... Lakers Rule... that's for you Faith..

I wish I could
remember the names, but there are professional athletes in a variety of sports.
Being diabetic DOES not prohibit us from being involved in sports. It takes an
educated person with dedication to his/her care to do it, but it is done.
On Thu May 3 02:15:33 2001 Squatfreak () said:
I readily admit I have
athletic interests, especially in my training. I also realize just a handful of
us here share that! The point is this...athletic people need better nutrition!
The charts wprk fine for the relatively sedentary; they do not for athletic
types. There is no point of debating this further! I have said before that you
can't be athletic and eat like a couch potato. Insufficient carbs, proteins
combined with too much fat, at least in some cases, is toying with obesity. Am I
wrong? look around next time you see the endo! Look around next time you see the
dietitian! What you see is the result of their counsel! If I come across helpful
info, I will share it. In conclusion, I posted something some time ago saying
that a diabetic could not compete in any intense sports because of dietary
restrictions, leaving only moderate aerobics as an option, Physiologically, I
stand behing what I posted. Have a good night! Squats from the power rack

much, said I needed to be able to eat way more carbs, and have more flexibility.
I feel like some one put out their hands and gave me my life back. This has been
a long two years. I'm now not taking any oral meds and am on 2 shots of H per
day and 2 of N. I know that I still have lots of adjusting to look forward to
but I feel so free. Who ever would have thought someone could be so excited to
have type 1 diabetes! Sue

()...Ruth can clean, do
yardwork, and otherwise function well. Maybe that is more than YOU can do! For
your benefit I will post a diabetes related post. At work i tried to move a 50
pound box, but my proper diet had sapped my strength and ability to work. I
expect heart problems because of a high carb, high fat (30% of calories diet.
Must asee the doctor about slow healing; seems I can't synthesize new tissue to
repair cuts. When September comes, gotta get a flu shot even though my immune
system is decimated; white cells are inactive so they can't fight disease. Is
this what you are looking for? A long list of can'ts? NO WAY! Get a life pal,

Had a busy
day today. Fasting BS was 160, a little higher than what it has been but not to
bad. Started house cleaning early this morning. Lorrie and her family left out
yesterday morning. Miss them but do enjoy the quiet. Went to Biggs to get some
hanging baskets and finally after trying for three days I got 6 of them. They
were $5.00 each and they went fast. I went about 11 this morning and they were
unloading the truck. The baskets were being grabbed as fast as they were set on
the ground. By noon they were all gone again. Don't know if they are going to
get any more in though. Hope so because I need 2 more. Worked on cleaning off
the back porch today but still have a lot to do. Did get the plants moved from
the back porch to the front porch though. Tomorrow or Thursday the swing goes
back outside. That will make it easier to watch Jenna while she plays outside.
Still have a lot of yard work to do as well. Well, I took my pill and it's
starting to take effect so it's bed time for me. Hope everyone has a good
night.

I
just saw a report on NBC about diabetes, and they have an article on
www.msnbc.com. It states that 90-95 percent of all diabetics are type 2. That
sounds like a very high percent, maybe it's just that I am exposed to so many
type 1's in my family that I thought it was higher. Anyway, makes for
interesting reading.

both need surgery, and a bench press is the easier way to get there quicker. I

Hi
Faye... remember those cortizone shots are a killer for the BS. But I am sure
you know that one from experience. Good to hear your getting better, I hate
those long lingering colds. Call anytime. Faith... a square wave takes the
units, say 8, and spread them over an equal time. If you did a square wave over
2 hours you would get an equal amount over the 2 hours to equal 8 units. It good
for a big meal that will take a long time, lots of courses. The dual wave which
I use most gives you insulin right away and a second amount that gets spread
equally. So for me potatoes take a while but the rest of the meal doesn't. So I
will use a dual wave to cover dinner , say 5 units now and the potatoes will
need say 4 units over an hour and a half. Now I don't know how to do it other
then with the 508, but I hope that helps. CB.. I will post that next, this one
is getting long.
