I'm sorry to see
that much trouble with the pumpers. I thought it would be less of a hassle. True
I take 6 needles per day but I seem to have good control that way and at least
know when things go wrong, what the cause is. That is of course not always the
case. It is diabetes after all, but mainly it is a good go. Faithie,....just
back from a 5 hour one-way trip by plane. Went to Ottawa but like the West far
better. How nice it is to come home again, your own favorite chair, your own
super cup of coffee, the garden, the flowers all over the place and then at
night you own bed!!! Home sweet home it is!!!! Is your RED BROOM still
flying???? JOHN.

My mother's
diabeties is going wakky. It keeps going up and down for no aparent reason. The
other day she got a nose bleed. Is this normal or is it something we should be
concerned about? Her levels go from 2.4 up to 11.3

Funny story, well not really. I have been having major problems at night,
getting up at 2-4 with a 300 plus. I was testing every couple of hours and not
finding the time where it would either drop or go up, so last night I got up
every hour on the hour. I started the night at 91. I never went under 85 or over
100 the entire night.So the one night I decide to give up sleep to pinpoint this
problem I run perfect. Must be the thought of the LAKERS sweeping that kept me
level, right Faith? Actually here is what I think the problem is, and I really
hope I am wrong. When I change my site, sometimes I have a couple of days in
which I run close to 200 and my adjustments just don't seem to work, then on a
switch of sites, I will then run low, in the 60-80 range with the same rates. I
think I am absorbing differently throughout my abdomen which leads me to believe
that I may not be long for the pump. Like I said, I hope I am wrong. Any pumpers
running into the same scenario?.. Jim...not only are they not carb free, but we
all know what too much of that does also! Although it is tempting to down a
pound of chocolates as a celebration of the LAKERS sweep. Do you think Faith
will show up here in the next few days?......Marc

Good morning
everyone. Marc- We'll have to be careful with our winnings. Remember, sugar-free

Remember Faith, fruit flavored, not spice! Better get that famous broom that
I've read so much about, ready for the sweeping. Jim LAKERS IN 4!

Faye... sorry to hear about the fire. Good thing everyone is alright, things
can be replaced, people can't. About your eyes, it's time you take control. We
have talked about this for a while now, and Gordon is right with they wait until
you heal, but that was a long time ago. You were ahead of me in the film
developing, and I had the hole done months ago. You need to get to another
doctor. It is a one or two zap proceedure, you don't feel it, it lets light in,
your fine. Stop waiting for this Dr to do it and change doctors.If you like this
doctor than demand he talk to you about the laser, it's called a YAG laser, at
least that's what they call it here.It is just way too long for you, and way too
simple a thing to do for you to have to deal with cloudy vision so long. Now of
course that's on the assumption that everything is ok with the cataract. Is it?
The implant is fine? Has he said anything that would indicate what the problem
is? It sounds like he hasn't. TAKE CONTROL. It is your vision he is
ignoring..Faithie.... after tonight you lose home court.....Marc ...GO DOLLAR
BILL!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone that responded to my post. My sister will be OK
financially as they had a very good insurance policy. Mentally is gong to be
another thing. Our Mother and Father and brother and his family went through the
same thing about 20 years ago. Mom and Dad lost everything but my brothers house
was saved. It was caused by a gas grill. When my sister-in-law turned it on it
exploded and the flames went up the side of the garage, under the upstairs
apartment floor and into my parents apartment. It aged them about 10 years. Fire
is a terrible thing. I lost a grandson at the age of 22 months to fire. Enough
on that subject.---As for my eye with the film like feeling, it has been since
September 2 when I had the cataract done. Have been back to the Dr a dozen times
so that is why I feel he is not doing anything for me. I know that being
diabetic doesn't help, but I don't blame the diabetes on this. Have had 2 new
pair of lenses since then with no help. So you can see that that is why I am
discouraged.

Faye: I can
relate to your Sisters house fire. It's devastating! Had one in January, half my
stuff burned, the other half damaged by smoke. Just took my watercolor portfolio
out, thinking it was o.k. Wrong. Black mold, everything ruined,,that awful
smell! Sugars went really high, the bathroom burned. Minimed sent me pump
supplies on the road. I gave up. But even the animals suvived, so I guess I was
lucky. The firemen gently took my old Martin guitar out, put it down, case
burned..guitar was fine too. Like a flood or tornado..fire is impersonal.

Faye: It is
not uncommon to have the cloudy look after a cataract removal and lens implant.
I had it on my left eye but not on my right. My Opthomologist just lazer zapped
a small hole in the lens sac. They used to remove the original lens sac but have
found that the implant does better and quicker when inserted into the old sac.
Then it is a simple matter in his office to zap enough of a hole to permit good
vision. Maybe he didn't explain it to you or possibly was going to see how you
got along first. I think they prefer to wait til it it well healed before doing
additional work. Ask him. Gordo

Faye, that sure
sounds like a lot of stress on your system. I was so sorry to hear about the
fire and your sister losing her home. Please email me on things they can use
rught away, I will try to send something to her. I hope you will feel better
real soon. Take care. ....Jim, I understand your post and thank you for it. I
like everone to put their views on the board, I just want it done in a nice way.
We can all learn from each post. I skip over the ones that get crazy. Love and

Having read all of the posts of today, it is encouraging to see so many of
you that have the same feeling about this board and how being diabetic effects
us all in different ways, and that we are here to help each other. Reading posts
like today, trying to get everyone back on track will show new people that come
across us, can see that we want to help. I have been having a lot of trouble
with my eyes being blurry. My eye that I had the cataract removed is still
bothering with a film like feeling over the eye. I am thinking very seriously of
changing doctors as the one I have now will not listen to me when I tell him
that everything is blurry and I feel that he needs to do something about the
"film" feeling. My husband just had cataract surgery and is seeing just great. I
will even go for a ride with him now!!!! Got some bad news last night. My sister
and her husband lost their home to fire yesterday. Nothing was able to be saved,
but the main thing is that no one was hurt. My blood sugars have been high this
week as I have not been feeling well. Went to the Dr. today and have the
intestinal flu bug that is going around. am much better today. Everyone have a
good evening. Faye

STRANGE CREATURE INDEED!!!!HEE HEE
On Fri May 18 15:54:16 2001 HEE HEE HEE, WHERE IS CB????? () said:
May 16 -
At first, residents of New Delhi wondered if they were simply going bananas in
the scorching heat of the Indian summer. Certainly, the reports of people being
attacked by a hairy, ape-like creature approximately 4 feet tall seemed like an
episode out of X Files or, closer to home, a chapter of the mythological epic
Mahabharata. But over the past three nights, media reports said dozens were
injured in the mysterious attacks and two people jumped to their deaths in a
panic. Delhi police recorded 39 calls of attacks by the so-called monkey man
from panicked residents of eastern Delhi. On Monday night, a pregnant woman
slipped while fleeing a panicked scene where a "sighting" reportedly occurred.
She later died in a city hospital. The death, along with pictures in the local
dailies of victims with scratch marks on their upper torsos, have shaken
Delhites - many of whom initially dismissed the occurrences as "superstitious
mumbo-jumbo." The weather only added to concerns. Power outages in summer are
common in Delhi, forcing residents of congested lower-income housing projects to
sleep on rooftops to beat the heat. And the darkness not only added to the mass
panic, it also contributed to an astonishing variety of descriptions of the
strange "creature."

Hi yall, 90's
in Arkansas this week, high 90's at that. Jerry has one more year to retirement,
Aug. of 2002, an am I looking forward to it. We still want to fish in every
state in the United States, and one trip to Calgary to see Sue for sure. If you
are wanting to tell me about the wonderful fishing around your part of the
country, email me for bragging rights. We truly hope to see a lot of places and
I want to meet faces to go with the friends I have made on this site. One thing
for sure, all the walking to the fishing holes and the fishing itself, should
give plenty of healthy exercise to help keep down the blood sugar. I am eager
for us to pack up and go and want to start even now, planning on where to stop
and go, we hope to purchase a nice camper to run around in if the gas prices
ever drop, otherwise, we will look for a gas efficient comfortable car, and a
lot of motel 6's, lol. Love yall, Anita aka hotpink, aka camarored.

On Fri May 18 12:04:19 2001 Marc W (sdlightningbolts55@yahoo.com) said:
Faithie, dear. You say we are all different and what works for one doesn't
mean it will work for others. There are a hundred reasons why that statement is
true. I can't speak for others, but myself, the reason I am defensive now is
because for a long time we have been told that what works for us is WRONG. If it
works, how could it be wrong? But day in and day out I read from a certain
individual that we should never listen to our Dr's or dietitians, that we should
listen to him. That's a reckless way to think, without knowing others
situations. At some point it should stop, be approached as it works for him,
great. But it doesn't have to be preached that it should be our lifestyle, and
the fat crap is way out of hand. To constantly berate people about their weight
is disgusting at best. So it may seem to you we are attacking but for me it is
defending what is right or wrong, the right to expect compasion from our fellow
diabetics and not belittling. I know no one can disagree with that. And I will
say this one last thing, you are terribly wrong with your last comment, unless
your saying the SPURS WILL BE GOING HOME!!!!!!!!!!! Take care Faithie, looking
forward to them cookies and chocolates.....Marc

Misty, Well
said! I do not understand at all why ANYONE wants to pick on and ridicule
another on this site. Each of us are different in so many ways, the only thing
we have in common is this disease. As it has been said so many times here, what
works for one may not work for another. Give your ideas and ways of dealing with
this disease, but do not put others down for how they cope with it. Maybe
sometimes someone may come across as sounding like they have all the answers,
but we all know that is not the case. What does it hurt for that person to vent.
We just should not be going after each other in this way. You know, all this
energy that is put into verbally going at each other, was put into helping each
other, we ALL would receive the beneifits from each other. Ok, now, GO SPURS
GO!!!

I was three years old when I
found out that I had D. My mom had problems with me from birth. Thay told her I
had allergys to milk and formula. Later they found out it was all the sugar in
each of them. I was skin and bones, and always sick. My D was not caused by
diet, I was born with it! I really do not understand why some people can not
understand it is different for each one of us. Everything react different in all
of us. Diet, meds, execise and life stress is all aa part of living life.
Growing up we were very poor, I remember little or no food some times. I ate
what was available to me. I understood as I got older and had health care
available to me that there was alot I never knew about D because I was not a
person with money so why fill me in on what I could not afford. We all come from
different walks of life, lets get this board back to real issues that we can
learn from. When you do not agree with some one do not point the finger at them
by saying your wrong, say the way I see it or something to the effect as you see
it. Some times I think we are taking out being mad about D on the people who
have D. It is no ones fault. These are the cards we were dalt in life. Make the
best of today. Love & Luck, Misty

Jim.. I am almost in disbelief over CB now. This is the work of someone who
needs to be the center of the universe. His posts are repetitive and insulting
and I do think he is APing to keep it going. I wonder, since I box for health
should I tell him that he COULD box, that it is his choice to not do something
healthy. He COULD golf, walking 5 miles over hilly terain is healthy, but it is
his choice. His attitude is rediculous at best, then the comment about hot dogs
and sausages, no muscle just fat, this guy can't be real? Can someone actually
be this stupid, this ignorant, this pompous? But the more we talk about him the
more he gets what he wants. So I think he should just go on being CB, and we can
live our lives the way we want while just ignoring this fool. LAKERS will win in

Good morning
everyone. CB- OK. Our eating patterns are what "gave" us diabetes. Including
you? Since about 2:30 yesterday this board has revolved around you and your
eating philosophy. I DO AGREE that you have some nutritional smarts, and you
should be proud of your BMI, as I'm sure everyone on here will agree, but I am
only speaking for myself when I say you appear to have this narcisisstic (SP)
complex that makes you feel the need to just keep things going so that you can
see your name in print. I don't know. No one else here beats people over the
head with their idealisms like you do. You seem to have this underlying message
that diabetes IS our fault. Nearly all of us exercise to some degree and do the
best we can to cope with this disease. None of us want to die or get serious
complications. If I didn't know better, I'd think that you AP just so you can
preach your message, but I won't accuse. It sure would be nice to give it a rest
for a while. Maybe if you'd leave your email address, you and "()" could go at
it there. FAITH- Only 24 hours until the "Mauling of the Spurs" begins. Have a
good day everyone. Jim

To (), so my diet is not yours...ok,
so you live hot dogs, sausage, white flour, processed and adulterated foodstuffs
loaded with sdium, fat, and preservatives! You do not know that iceberg lettuce
is a waste of money, you think that lifting makes you blind, that more than
minimal protein and water will hurt the kidneys, that plant protein and animal
proteins are just as good. (They aren't!) For stomsach problems you will think
of gastroparesis instead of the crap you eat. Don't try crunches to firm up your
belly,; you probably have no muscle to firm up. As I write this, I hope you are
not suffering from severe complications. Your bitter opposition to anything
healthy makes me wonder...?

To 19:54.27...(): Your failure to
say what specific organs you believe would be damaged by healthy eating and
exercise betrays your ignorance. Your failure to answer Dave's question also
betrays ignorance. The truth is there can be no objections! Some on this board
cannot lift or follow a healthy diet. But there are many who can. One major
benefit of this lifestyle is increased bone density, which means better posture
and fewer back problems. I look forward to the nest attack!
