Sugar going haywire.

I found my self in a similar predicament. I used a new bottle of insulin and it seemed to solve the problem. The insulin I was using was clear, no indication of a problem; however, it had been out of the refrigerator for more than 10 days.

Have a nice day,

Subject: Allergies (response)

I have been a diabetic 2 for close to eight years and I finally had to change doctors because the meds she had me on was making me gain weight. I now have a Doctor that is very much into making sure that I am doing everything that I am supposed to be doing and she calls me every week to check up on me. She has changed my meds and I have actually lost 6 pounds since I started with her. Also, in regards to whole wheat breads—I have found that by making my own bread and by grinding my own wheat into flour has actually helped to keep my sugars low and myself full and that way I know exactly what is gong into my bread and my children love the homemade bread better than the store bought ones. I work full time and it takes me about two hours on the weekend to make eight loves of bread for my family to enjoy throughout the week. It also taste better than store bought.

Subject: Allergies (original posting)

I am concerned with the fact that I was diagnosed with Type II, in April 2005. Is it coincidence that my allergies are not going berserk. I am in a very dry area of the country and I have allergies to dust, mold and mildew, but here in this high desert, I am having trouble with my dust allergies. I actually have suffered from irritant-bronchitis at least 4 times in 18 months. My older brother has had Type II Diabetes for many many more years than me, and he got a terrible case of pneumonia (I am sure from the same allergies that I suffer from) and had to have an operation on his lungs. Would the diabetes prevent my lungs from kicking off the irritant-bronchitis? My stupid doctors treat everything separately and seem to think nothing is related.

Subject: Blood sugar should be? (Response)

Hello Morna,

The American Diabetes Association acknowledges these as normal blood sugar for healthy people who do not have diabetes:

- fasting/before eating < 100 mg/dl
- bedtime 120 mg/dl
- A1c blood sugar test (3 month blood sugar indicator) <6%

The American Diabetes Association recommends the following blood sugar goals for those with diabetes:

- before eating (pre-prandial) 80-120 mg/dl
- bedtime 100-140 mg/dl
- A1c blood sugar test (3 month blood sugar indicator) <7%

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (endocrinologists are medical doctors specializing in disorders including diabetes) recommends the following blood sugar goals for those with diabetes:

- before eating (pre-prandial) 110 mg/dl
- 2 hours after eating (post-prandial) 140 mg/dl
- A1c blood sugar test (3 month blood sugar indicator) <6.5%

Each person may have different goals for treating their diabetes. It is important to discuss blood sugar control goals with your diabetes educator or doctor so you know what to personally try to achieve.

Subject: hi

Thanks for the response on neuropathy. I would also like to know if one of the things you can have with it is a lot of pressure in your head or if I should be looking at other things as a solution to this problem. Is it common for the legs to ache from the hips down but mostly localized to below the knees. Thanks so much. Knowledge sure helps a person deal with this disease Delores.
