with no warning.. I was in the high 500’s I was at 6.2
on my aic and in good control with diet. THen I went
in 2 months to 10.8 doctor said I turned of like a
switch. Vision went from 20/20 to 20/70 (as a
photographer I need my sight), the thirst was unquenchable and
so disoriented from high sugars. IT WAS HORRIBLE! I
was put on Glucovance immediately.<br
told me of this herbal supplement and how geat it
works for so many people not just diabetics.I take 1
capful a day (tastes like tree bark) but I was willing
to try anything. If any one is intrested let me tell
you what has helped me.<br

OK, I know its still not perfect, but I’m still
just thrilled with it!! I got the results from my
second HbA1c back today, and they were better than both
my doctor and I expected! Let me preface this by
saying that I was just diagnosed in April with a fasting
BS of 400 and a whopping HbA1c of 15.9!! After about
a month of tweaking my medications, I finally began
to see my numbers remaining below 200 the majority
of the time. Well I went last Monday for my first
A1C since diagnosis and got the results today…. I
was down to 6.4!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOO very excited, my
doctor told me we were “shooting for under 10 this time,
and lower hereafter!” I haven’t talked to him yet,
just the nurse, but she was also excited for me. When
I hung up the phone, I let out an unexpected SCREAM

I used to sweat just like a hog in the sunshine
and was told that it was due to my diabetes. When I
was hospitalized in ‘99 I was put on insulin and a
whole new regimen of drugs. Now the only time I
perspire at all is when my blood sugar gets below 60 and
then I put out gallons. With regards to being down
some of the time. John is absolutely right. It gains
us nothing to fret and worry and get all self
absorbed in our problems. In fact it only makes our
physical problems worse. Look at John he was down about
your being down and he forgot how to spell. LOL
Seriously though I was having a real problem with this when
I first got out of the hospital. All my doctors
were saying “You’ve got to avoid stress at all costs.”
I was back in the hospital with a ETA (a minor

I know not maintime but meantime, I’m almost perfect but not
yet!!!!!<br

maybe this is one of the down days from being
diabetic, i don’t know. but i have been bawling most of the
day over anything and everything. i’ve been trying to
work on webpages, but my heart is just not there to do
it. i would just as soon crawl back into the bed and
stay there, but it is only 4:30pm indiana time. i have
been on vacation this week and i go back tomorrow
night, maybe that is part of it too. but i feel so bad
right now and just really sad.<br

Does anyone know if excessive sweating is in any
way associated with diabetes. Indeed, it is hot down
here in Texas but I sweat even in the house when the
air conditioning is colder than ice. Outside is even
worse! Doesn’t matter what season of the year it is.
Inside or out, I break out in a sweat all over my body,
drenching my clothes in a matter of minutes. Even my hair
drips sweat as my head sweats so much. Very
embarrassing, especially when no one else around me is
sweating!<br
replacement therapy. Just doing some light housework today,
with the airconditioning on 70 degrees, I’m soaked!
