I Wrote a while
back about our Son who is a newly diagnosed Type 1, My question is to anyone who
can give me info on how hard is it to transition onto the pump? He may be put on
this summer..Is it the way to go? He is doing so well with nph and humlog
combined, how much freedom will the pump offer him? and I am concerned about
lows on the pump,Is that a problem for pumpers?. Also he has had alot of stomach
pain and problems, the Doctor is running test for celtics ? I'm sure I mispelled
it. Anyone familiar with it? Also we are fighting bad allergies, that are
causing his BS to go through the roof ... They would like for me to start him on
allergy shots? Any Advice would be welcome. My Husband and I also heard a rumor
to the effect that the BS testing monitor companys keep putting a monkey wrench
in the Gluco watch being released? any truth to this? Take care all of you and
we look forward to hearing from you.Thank You Sandie

On Fri May 25 11:56:12 2001 Changing Habits to Delay Diabetes () said:
The
New England Journal of Medicine -- May 3, 2001 -- Vol. 344, No.
18_______________Changing Habits to Delay Diabetes___________________For
centuries, fatter and more sedentary people have been considered more likely to
get diabetes. More recently, many prospective studies have established that
obesity and physical inactivity are risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus
(1) and that weight loss and exercise improve insulin sensitivity and insulin
secretion in the short term. Two studies, in subjects in Sweden and China, have
indicated that changes in diet and in exercise habits might delay the onset of
diabetes. (2,3) However, because these studies had methodologic weaknesses (one
was not randomized, and in the other, clinics rather than individual subjects
were randomized), it has remained uncertain whether changes in lifestyle can
delay the onset of diabetes. In this issue of the Journal, Tuomilehto and
colleagues report the results of the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study, (4)
which examined the effect of changes in lifestyle on the development of type 2
diabetes in high-risk subjects. All subjects had impaired glucose tolerance --
an intermediate stage in the natural history of type 2 diabetes characterized by
a lesser degree of hyperglycemia. Impaired glucose tolerance is associated with
an annual rate of progression to diabetes of 1 to 10 percent. (5) A total of 523
overweight subjects with impaired glucose tolerance were randomly assigned to
either a control group, which received general information on changes in
lifestyle, or an intervention group. Subjects in the intervention group met with
a nutritionist seven times during the first year and every three months
thereafter; the visits were designed to encourage specific changes in their
lifestyles. Goals for changes were established in five categories: a reduction
in weight (by 5 percent or more), a reduction in fat intake (to less than 30
percent of energy intake), a reduction in saturated fat intake (to less than 10
percent of energy intake), an increase in fiber intake (to at least 15 g per
1000 kcal), and an increase in exercise (to at least 30 minutes per day).
Although the average weight loss in response to the intervention was small
(4.2±5.1 kg), the effect of these changes in lifestyle on the incidence of
diabetes was substantial: the risk of diabetes was 58 percent lower in the
intervention group. Tuomilehto et al. found a lower incidence of diabetes among
persons who achieved more of the goals for changes in lifestyle, regardless of
the group to which they had been assigned. This finding supports the authors'
claim that the reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes was due largely to
the changes in lifestyle. These results demonstrate that modifying the risk
factors for type 2 diabetes reduces the risk of disease. This was not a foregone
conclusion. The sustained positive energy balance (a higher intake than
expenditure of energy) that promotes obesity and type 2 diabetes results from an
interaction between genetic and environmental factors. (6) It was not certain
that an outpatient intervention program could successfully influence long-term
habits of diet and activity when subjects had easy access to calorically dense
foods and only minimal exercise was required for the activities of daily living.
Whether the remarkable success of this study was a result of changes in habits
of diet, activity, or both is not clear, however, since this type of analysis
was not performed. Will the same interventions for the primary prevention of
type 2 diabetes work in the United States or in other populations? Tuomilehto
and colleagues believe that the pessimism that surrounds the difficult task of
inducing change in the lifestyles of overweight, sedentary persons is not
warranted. Their optimism may be justified by the low dropout rate in their
study (less than 9 percent in the intervention group and less than 7 percent in
the control group). However, it is difficult to predict how the dropout rates
among persons enrolled in a clinical trial in Finland will translate into
clinical practice elsewhere. Different populations may also be more or less
willing to accept the changes in lifestyle recommended in the study.
Pharmacologic interventions to decrease insulin resistance have also been
proposed as a means of preventing type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention
Program is an ongoing multicenter, randomized trial in the United States that
involves more than 3000 men and women with impaired glucose tolerance. The
program is evaluating whether the risk of type 2 diabetes can be reduced through
substantial changes in diet and exercise or a pharmacologic intervention (850 mg
of metformin twice daily), as compared with the risk among subjects assigned to
receive typical recommendations about lifestyle. (7) Results are anticipated in
the fall of 2002. How long can lifestyle changes be sustained? The Finnish study
was not designed to address this question. However, most people do not maintain
their weight loss after participating in weight-control programs. (8) Despite
the convincing demonstration that type 2 diabetes was delayed in the short term,
it is uncertain how long the reduced incidence of diabetes will last. Type 2
diabetes is increasingly common; it affected about 6 percent of persons in
developed countries in 1995. (9) If the results reported by Tuomilehto et al.
are confirmed in other populations, physicians and policymakers may wish to
consider whether such intervention programs should be routinely covered by
insurance companies and made more broadly available in primary care settings.
Such decisions will probably require evidence that the complications of diabetes
can be delayed or prevented. It is reasonable to expect, however, that the onset
of microvascular complications will be delayed, since the frequency of these
complications is closely correlated with the duration of diabetes. (10,11,12) In
the future, it is anticipated that the molecular basis of many complex human
diseases, including type 2 diabetes, will be identified. Eventually, it may be
possible to target intervention programs at genetically susceptible persons
before they become overweight and sedentary. At present, the results of the
Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study should encourage physicians and other health
care providers to persevere in the difficult task of promoting a healthy
lifestyle, since by doing so they will give patients a better chance at a life
less burdened by many diseases, including type 2 diabetes. P. Antonio Tataranni,

(62/M/McAlester Ok) 5/24/01 11:13 pm Well, the other shoe has finally fallen.
Beth went to the doctor and then to a specialis today. She now has a new
diagnosis. It seems that she has been misdiagnosed for years. She was diagnosed
as being anorexic and bulemic long before Corey was born. (The grandson we lost
to Systemic Masto Cytosis 4 years ago at age 10) She has now been diagnosed as
having Systemic Mastocytosis. It is a hereditary disease that is ultimately
fatal as of this time. I will provide you with details about it later. We are in
shock right now. Jodi is beating herself up terribly bad because it normally
travels from mother to child. We are going to begin a testing program through
out the enntire family. There is no doubt regarding the diagnosis. The
specialist she went to is the number 1 specialist dealing with Masto in this
country. He has written books on the subject and is the featured speaker at the
national Masto conference this summer. I can't deal with all of this at one time
so I will fill you guys in more later.

It
looks as though the Democratic lead congress will push Bush on the abortion
issue, trying to reinstate funding. That was discussed here in that the funding
cut off embryonic (sp) stem cell research that was progressing in a cure for
diabetes. We might be able to get federal funding back. Should be interesting,
odd to be rooting for the Democratics but I would like to see progress for the
next generations of diabetics to have some hope in the future. Stem cell
research was the most promising.

completely agree that diet is not enough. To Nina, get 2 5 lb weights and walk
briskly with them. For the Omega 3 fatty acids, there is a product called UDO's

Add an aerobic activity to your diet

Aerobic exercise must be added to the mix to achieve lower LDL

Nina: I'm not
CB but the natural approach to high cholesterol is via good balanced nutrition.
Two essential ingredients are particular ingredients present in Omega 3
polyunsaturated fatty acids. These help move the LDL from your cells to your
liver where it is discarded into your bile. The second essential ingredient is
soluble fiber to keep this LDL in your bile so that it won't be reabsorbed into
your blood as it passes through your small intestine. Both are needed. I may be
wrong but I have never seen exercise used for cholesterol control directly.
Although, exercise does have very many benefits to the human body, especially
diabetic ones, and should be encouraged at every opportunity, even when it isn't
iron pumping. Sorry CB, I had to throw that in for the other 95% of the non-iron
pumpers. Hope this helps. Gordo

CB....Help! Anything specific in
the way of resistance training you can suggest to me? I'm nearing 60, type II,
with cholesterol running between 260 and 300 over the past few years. I have
been on three different cholesterol medications and had adverse side effects
with each. I'm lookng for a natural way of dealing with this to whatever extent
I can. My work schedule makes a gym or training center an impossibility and I
don't have the room to house alot of home-based training equipment. Any
suggestions on what I can do with something as simple as hand-held weights? I
figure anything is better than nothing...

doesn't like those on insulin to be much lower, because of low's. The nerve of

he meant by that!! LOL I've decided after what happened last week, (driving in
an un-aircondition car), I will keep the top up on my car till it cools down
some. It will be in the 90's by the time I start out on my trip. I can't take

They trade under CGYN and shares have been slowly rising for about a month and a
