Some time ago, I was asked here why I
did not post warnings about wheatgrass juice. What follows is a list of "foods"
that do demand warnings. White bread, over processed and stripped of nutrients
and fiber. Though flour is enriched, nutriebts are rew. filtered juices, pulp
and fiber are gone, along with some vitamins. glucerna, made from maltodextrin
(a carb) with fats and snthetic vitamins. Its high price lowers its value.
Better choices are Met-rx, EAS shakes or mrp powders. Cheaper and more
nutritious. Margarines, cooking oils )except colk-pressed olive or grapeseed_)
These can increase buildup in arterial walls. Better choices )non-cooking)
include flaxseed and fish oils. Borage oil is another good choice. Head lettuce,
a waste! few nutrients. Red leaf, green leaf, boston, romaine, and spinach are
much better!

Misty, glad you
had a good time and were able to keep your "D" under control. Thanks also for
the support w/the "guys". LOL Still haven't gotten their candy and "SPICY" jelly
beans yet! Went to see my mother in SA and well, I forgot. Don't worry Marc and
Jim, I will send you the goodies! Eventually!!! LOL Marc- be good in Mexico!!
And have a safe trip!

Misty... great to hear that. Vegas is so fun, as long as you don't lose the
mortgage! I can't tell you just how much I understand what your talking about
with getting hit, or walking into someone from the side. I do that all the time,
and Vegas type places are just so hard. I have to put my right hand out
slightly, not real obvious but enough to feel what I might not be seeing. That
helps when you touch the wall with your hand instead of pounding it with your
shoulder. I have "placed" my hand in areas in which caused embarrassment, I am
sure you could imagine if you had your hand out and not seeing what your
touching. But I haven't been slapped in the face yet! Well since your a 76ers
fan, shall we make a friendly wager if or should I say when they get in the
finals? Oh and the looking out for you, no problem and your welcome. Anytime
your out this way I am a phone call away if you ever need anything. Just don't
tell to many people here, I wouldn't want them to get the impression I might be
a nice guy or something. Well, I have to be in Mexico on business monday so if I
don't get back here this weekend take it easy everyone and I will be back
Tuesday.... Marc

Hi! Back from a
GREAT vacation. Marc, I also left my money in Vegas! I had no pump troubles. I
was worried about the high temp of 105-110 on my insulin. It seemed ok and I
tested often. Being so c;ose to all the buffet foods was a challenge. I managed
to keep some kind of control. The blood in my eye made it real difficult to wlak
with so many people coming from all directions. Being blind in my right eye I do
not see people coming from the back or side as people from the left were covered
with the blood shadow. I really got hit hard a few times. My husband was not
sure what side to stay on to help me. The dark casino made matters more
difficult. All inall we did have a time of it. Your A1C of 6.2 is great! Thanks
for looking out for me! .....Faithie, do not let these boys get to you! I am in
76sixers land! Take care all, Love & Luck, Misty

Hi everyone-Haven't been on
this board in a long while. Still struggling with the big D! I am now on
Ameryl-seems to be helping. I saw on the news last night that if you eat about 5
cups of broccolli throughout the day the fiber would keep you closer to a better
BS level! Yikes I hope George Bush Sr. never gets diabetes! I hope I don't glow
in the dark! Take care! Suzy

Hi Suzy, may mean you are passing

ASAP

Hi Everyone,
This is my first visit to this site. I was diagnosed a year ago and am still
learning a lot. Does anyone know what it means when the doctor says she found
protein? Any info would be great.

On Fri Jun 1 15:27:13 2001 (LANTUS) said:
Now there's an insulin that can
work just as long. LANTUS(r) gives you the power to help manage your diabetes with
a basal insulin that works around the clock with just one shot.1 LANTUS is
available by prescription. Whether you're already using another insulin or
LANTUS is the first insulin you've used, this site will help you get the most
from this long-lasting basal insulin. You'll learn how LANTUS works and how to
make it a key part of managing diabetes. You'll also find links to resources
that can help educate, inform and empower you in many different aspects of a
long and healthy life with diabetes. As with any insulin therapy, possible side
effects may include blood sugar levels that are too low (hypoglycemia);
injection-site reactions, including changes in fat tissue at the injection site;
allergic reactions; itching; and rash.1 In clinical studies in adult patients,
there was a higher incidence of injection-site pain (2.7% vs. 0.7%) among
insulin glargine patients compared with NPH human insulin. The reports were
usually mild and did not result in discontinuation of therapy.1 LANTUS MUST NOT
BE DILUTED OR MIXED WITH ANY OTHER INSULIN OR SOLUTION. If mixed or diluted, the
solution may become cloudy, and the onset of action/time to peak effect may be
altered in an unpredictable manner.

Faith... don't forget I like the red hot ones. When I was at the doctor
yesterday he told me about a new insulin, long acting. It works for 24 hours and
has no increase or peak effect, stays even for 24 hours. He told me if I ever
need a break from the pump, which I will with lack of insertion spots, he will
use that as my "basal" rate. So even the shooters are getting better products,
which is great.... Marc

Jim - patience, patience! I'm
looking for those 'SPICY' jelly beans!! Marc - Shussh, I know! When my CHD was
up, my doctor said it was entirely because of my 'D' being out of control. That
has happened twice, so, Baycol all the time.
On Fri Jun 1 11:40:45 2001 () said:
Type 1 diabetic patients who are in good
control tend to have normal levels of lipoprotein. Their composition of
lipoproteins may be abnormal but the effects of this on CHD is unknown. It does,
however, seem reasonable that if type 1 diabetic patients have high LDL levels
that they should meet the same goals as those for type 2 diabetic patients. The
position paper suggests that improved glycemic control may be more important in
type 1 diabetic patients than type 2 in the reduction of CHD.

Good morning
everyone. Faith- What's the hold-up? Marc- You think she's gonna stiff us?
Seriously though, if anyone here is having problems affording their meds, due to
no insurance go to http://www.themedicineprogram.com/ to fill out an application
for entirely FREE MEDS. Jim

Faith.. let me jump in before Jim does, he doesn't like SPICY! Julie and I
were discussing my diet last night and I can see where I might have a raised
cholesterol. You know how you feel like you can eat anything on the pump and
cover it, well maybe I was a slight bit lax on the other health issues in
regards to that. So a little modification and back to normal. I gotta exercise
more too. My endurance is off lately. Things like yesterday, the guys I was
golfing with made a comment that they were surprised that I go through so much
with the pump to take care of myself, but I was using a cart instead of walking
the course. I guess I have been a bit lazy so all this combined will cause a
raise so you know I will make my adjustments and go on. But no double doubles
anymore? Ouch......Marc

Marc - that's a
great A1c! Good work! You and the pump seem to be doing fine now! Sorry about
the other problem. The only time I've ever had trouble with that is when my
control wasn't so good. But, I'm on Baycol anyway. Mainly for safety's sake.
BTW, tell Bambi hi! Oh, I still haven't gotten the candy yet, will this weekend,
been pretty busy. Now let me get this right, chocolate (w/nuts) and jelly beans
for you AND Jim, right?
