Mandy, Yes, I've heard about
the islet transplant. The islets are taken from lab raised pigs, they are then
incapsulated and inserter in the stomach cavity. It is called
Xenotransplantation. (Animal to Man) I've mentioned it here before, to me it
sounds like a very viable 'TREATMENT'. It is not a cure! They have to place new
capsules in every couple of years or so! At least this is the info I've been
given in regards to this!

Toad: DKA is Diabetic Keto Acidosis.
Fat is used for energy because of insufficient insulin to enable cells to use
glucose. (simplified explanation). I am sure you know the symptoms, extreme
thirst, rapid weight loss, dehydration, ketones in urine, etc. Type 1s are more
likely to fall into it than type twos. But type 2s can also get it, if they
don't follow their doctor's orders. If glucose is over 250, ketones should be
checked. If positive, medical help should be sought ASAP.

I would just
like to tell anyone out there who is not a diabetic not to start a fight with a
diabetic who is over 300 and in DKA. They have a hard time controling their
emotions. my mother was yelling at me today (while i was throwing up)about being
HI. if you are a diabetic and understand where i am comming from please e-mail
me!

I was not prescribed 172 gm protein
per day. I meant to say that I do not dare go that high. I also mean to say that
what works for me might not work for others. I need not defend my "diet of
death" since foods high in fiber and phyto nutrients, minimally processed,
commend themselves. The benefits of flaxseed and grapeseed oils are easily
available. To (), Do you really believe that clean healthy food is bad for
diabetics? If so, I feel sorry for you! I don't know your age or weight,
physical condition or anything else but that you post to attack. Any competent
dietitian would agree with what I have posted! Yes, there are people here who
cannot. I know that.
On Wed Jul 18 04:46:21 2001 CB () said:
woops! Faith, I appreciate your
defense. Thank you! Sandy and (), A couple of questions. If a diet caused a drop
of 10lbs of muscle in a month, what would you do? Another CDE did better, since
my weight increased by 5 pounds, but still, there were problems. Couldn't
progress in my workouts, back was weak, etc. Again, what would you do? Nothing?
This happened three years ago. I would give anything to go to a 50-35-15
breakdown. Know what? That would be 172 gms protein per day. I DO NOT DARE!!!
But again, "they know best", so you watch yourself waste away. I freely admit
there must be CDEs who are better at calibrating caloric needs than those I have
seen. In the end, control and proper (lean) weight are the goals.

Toad, Yes I did.
Two pair of earrings, one sterling silver, one with tourquoise (sp?). A band
bracelet of silver and gold fill. And of all things a silver toe ring! LOL All
of this was hand made! You are right about the snack. You do probably need to
eat a mid morning snack. Should tide you over till lunch. I like to eat peanut
butter crackers for a mid morning snack. Will talk to ya'll tomorrow! Faith

Hi all! Faith, so glad to hear
that the trip was fun for you. I hope someday to see the southwest, but for now,
I enjoy reading about it...Mandy, yes. Test more often! Keep a journal of your
daily intake, test results to include exact times. It's a pain, but it will
help. Don't forget to include any and all exersize. After 4 years, I'm sure you
know what it takes...It's about to rain again here. :+( We've gotten more rain
this summer than I ever remember. It's usually in the 90's and hi 80's by now
but we do good to break 80 in the day time and 70 at night. I suppose that means
that August and September will be hot and humid. Yucky!!! Went swimming
yesterday. Stayed in the water too long I guess. Felt bad all evening. BS stayed
around 74 most of the time. Glad to see some of the ol' gang back on board here.
Was getting tired of nothing interesting to read... Have been eating 1C Crisps
with 1/4C of skimmed milk for breakfast with 1/2 a banana and decaf coffee. It
works as far as the BS goes but I'm hungry within 2 hours. Anyone got any
suggestions? I suppose I should get a snack of something, but I'd really like to
hold off on starting a snacking habit. May not be able to though... I hope
everyone's day is a nice one! PS. Faith? Did you get any pretty southwestern
jewlery? I love that stuff!!!!!

HI
EVERYONE, I'VE BEEN DIABETIC FOR FOUR YEARS NOW, AND I JUST CAN NOT GET MY HEAD
AROUND THE IDEA, DID ANY BODY ELSE FEEL THIS WAY? MOST TIMES I DON'T KNOW I AM
GOING HYPO UNTIL I'VE EITHER PASSED OUT AND MY HUSBAND HAS FOUND ME "FITTING ON
THE FLOOR", OR IAM REALLY CONFUSED. HAS ANY ONE GOT ANY IDEA OF HOW I CAN TELL
WHEN I AM GOING "HYPO" PLEASE??

Dear Faith...I agree that CB goes much
too far....is fine to talk about what works for you....but to then go on about
his distrust of diabetic educators and other and why we should discount their
advice is over the edge....people come here new diabetics looking for a easy way
out of traditional treatments, and are set upon by CB with his snake oil
cures....remember his "death diet"....you were part of that...

In "my" opinion!! Sorry!

Hi Herb! Glad to see you back
too! No, I didn't need any help while gone. The pump worked fine, and as I said,
so did my blood sugars. Yes, the mexican food in New Mexico is different. And
boy, did I find out the difference between red and green chilies! LOL Sandy, CB
has, in by opinion, never stated to anyone that he is an expert, and that they
should take his advice only! He just shares what works for him. Those of us who
have been on here for awhile know that this is just a forum for what works for
us and what doesn't. Oh Herb, back to the New Mexico food, I still prefer the
enchalades (sp?) here in Texas better! Did have some good steaks at a place in
Santa Fe called "Bull Ring"! Mmmmmm! Hope all have a good day and good
readings!!
On Tue Jul 17 09:08:01 2001 More on CB (.) said:
It says "what works for
YOU" - unfortunately, CB takes this a step too far. Obviously, his regimine
works for him - we've heard enough to last a lifetime from him. In his fat head,
what works for him should work for everyone - if they would just lift! But the
comment about his "pathological hatred for medical professionals" is right on
target! Hopefully, most people will ignore his rantings and continue to work
with their own healthcare team and will avoid any harmful effects from him. Now
watch, any minute now CB will get on here and give the same speech he always
gives, laced with wheatgrass juice, flaxseed oil and goats milk. He'll never
believe that he sould like an idiot. So, better just get ready for the next
diatribe from him>

Maybe you missed the message
at the top of this page. It asks people to share what works for them. That's
what most people here do. It's not prescribing anything, so please don't get
your shorts in a knot.
