Prolax and inositol.

I take Actos. Keeps it in the low 6's, IIRC.

Just remember: none of this fancy medicine is proven to prevent a thing.

[KA5PIU]

Hello.

Metformin, 500 mg X 2
Around 9.5 is high for me.

Type 2 diabetes. We all hope to be selling electric chairs (NO, not that kind!) real soon.
Jesus. We ARE hams.

[kc7jty]

damn, are there some things I don't have trouble with?... (touch wood)

[W4RLR]

14.5 at last test. 85 units/dayof Levamir, 20 units 3 times/day of Novolog, also Metformin. Still can't get the A1C down and my fasting glucose is around 250. I'm in line to see an endocrinologist, but he has rescheduled the appointment twice.

My family doctor is amazed that I am still walking around...

[W4RLR]

damn, are there some things I don't have trouble with?... (touch wood)Don't do that in public. Think of the kids.

[KA5PIU]

Hello.

250 is not good but not real bad.
When I got really sick I went in to check my blood sugar, 500+.
Now I can keep it around 160 for the high and try to keep it above 70 for the low, except I get weak under about 60.

[KA9MOT]

My last was 9.2.

I take 85 of Novolin 70/30 2X daily and Novolog before every meal on a sliding scale. Diabetes killed me. I'm not dead yet, but getting there in a hurry. If you want to die one inch at a time, this is the way to do it. You guys with diabetes who still have hearts and other organs that are healthy, take care of yourself because once it is damaged, it doesn't comeback.

I have high glucose readings some days. I avg. A1C of 6.5 so far, controlled by walking the dog, and low carb diet. Sounds like the olde fartz I mean midcars net.

14.5 at last test. 85 units/dayof Levamir, 20 units 3 times/day of Novolog, also Metformin. Still can't get the A1C down and my fasting glucose is around 250. I'm in line to see an endocrinologist, but he has rescheduled the appointment twice.

My family doctor is amazed that I am still walking around...

My A1c is in the high 7 range, highest it's ever been recorded is 9.5, but the numbers just won't budge even with 2 x 1000 mg of metformin, 100 units of Lantus, and 80-100 units of Humalog at every meal.

When I was in the hospital last year the hospitalist didn't believe my dosing and insisted I be given insulin only when she specifically approved the dose. By day three, she believed me, and people started saying "insulin resistant" and "U500 insulin".
I even heard the name "Rasputin" mentioned once!

ETERNAL TRUTH # 31: DIABETES IS NOT A GOOD THING.

[KG4CGC]

What..you making a salad? wha?
Yes, Ren. I'm making salad.
Now then, what kind?

[N7YA]

Wow, what happened to me!! I used to be such a droogie, but now all you old guys are whooping my ass with all your Woodstock experimentation!

If you get all freaked out, go see our good friend Wavy Gravy and his pals in the big tent...they will talk you down. "You...are Bob!"

I actually met Wavy Gravy once at a Grateful Dead show. He was very, very high but so was I (some really good windowpane) so it worked out okay.

[KA5PIU]

Hello.

When I was in high school I saw fery few options.
The hippies, poorly dressed punks with an attitude and stupid who rarely took a bath.
The real rednecks, people who lived like they were from the sticks, but in a major city.
The pseudo cowboys.
The norm.
I sort of fit in with the pseudo cowboy bunch.
The only druggie I knew was one Glenn Wilson, that guy would sell his soul for dope, everything was "for the buzz".
He got busted and tried to involve me, except I called the police just as soon as he said drug buy.
2 sets of cops show up, the ones I called and narco.
It took the better half of 30 minutes to get it all sorted out.
He went to juvi and I went home.
After that, the only people who he was allowed to talk to was me, and I was not talking, you see, my mother was the dealer.
My adopted parents were on the forefront of the dope users, selling to anybody who would buy.
And Glenn's parents would not believe me.
All they knew was that he was getting his dope no matter what they did.

We have merely reached the pinnacle of our greatness, the fullness of our destiny, the maximum of or moment.

[KG4CGC]

Fullness of density? What, what?

[NQ6U]

Fullness of density? What, what?

Our maximum gravitational pull?

[kf0rt]

Our maximum gravitational pull?

It really is a density thing.

[N2NH]

Significance... That was my A1C...yea!!!

WOW! I just found out what that meant. I got a 9.5 yesterday and my doctor is not a happy camper. Still, it's getting under control so he isn't worried too much either. Good luck. I've lost 55 pounds since February and have to lose another 40 to really get to where I need to be. Hopefully you don't have the neverending thirst and the sea of pee that comes with uncontrolled DM.

[N2NH]

Tried Levitra and Cialis...one either sets me on fire or I have this strange urge to go sit in the tub and stare aimlessly into the distance:irked:

I keep threatening to take Cialis and hit my favorite YL repeatedly over the head with the darned thing...

Is this thing on?? :lol:

[W4RLR]

holy crap! what are you eating? birthday cake at every meal? :)

i do 28 units of lantus and ~12 units of humalog plus 2x500mg metformin er twice a day ...The doctor believes I have developed insulin resistance, hence the large doses of Levamir and Novolog. I use Splenda instead of sugar, any soda I drink is diet, my meals are high in protein and low in carbs. No help. As for being a "gordo", I'm 6 foot 3 inches, 255 pounds. I've been as high as 305, and I'm now within 30 pounds of being able to put on my Air Force uniform. Some of the other medications I take make it very easy to gain and retain weight.

I second MOT's assessment of diabetes being a slow form of death. But I have a predisposition to it from both sides of my family. There are some days I just want to say if I'm going to die from this, hurry up already!

But then I fear police will come and taze me for saying I want to end it all.

I can sympathize. It's debilitating, causes fatigue and wears out all your will power. Isn't there alternative methods to dealing with diabetes? I thought I read where there was research into stem cells being able to cure it for awhile?


then I fear police will come and taze me for saying I want to end it all.

After spending some time there, I also understand this. Hopefully you don't meet the same Barney Fife I did. He was a total sh*thead. When I was a LEO, I used to wonder why there were so many LEO fatalities in Florida. Barney Fife educated me real fast.

[KA5PIU]

Damn. Whadda bunch of old fucks.
If Rudy's on Metformin, I give up.

Hello.

Yes, and yes.
