Diabetes Symptoms Weblog

Hello,
I am residing in India (Gujarat). My 13 yrs old son recently
identified as IDDM (Diabetes Type 1) on 01st May 2004.
He is being given Wosulin 30/70 Insulin (Pre-mixed) (40 IU)
18 Units at noon & 15 Units in evening by injection; as advised by
the doctor.
I am interested to divert my son from taking daily injections
to some another known painless remedy.
May I request you to advise me to How to proceed further?
My e-mail id is prakashthakrar@….
Awaiting for your reply.
Yours,

with taking care of my diabetes, after going
to the doctor for a nasty case of bronchitis. (The coughing is
nearly gone, but have had laryngitis for a week now–frustrating!!)
The average on my glucose monitor is 141. Can’t wait to get my
energy back so I can return to exercise! The doctor put me on
metformin and Pravachol.
Recently told my boyfriend about the diabetes, and have struggled a
bit with his being the food police. In some ways, I’m glad I told
him, as he’s looking at things differently when he goes to the store
for me. I’ve had to remind him about moderation for me, and making
choices. I also assured him that he could continue to eat whatever
he wants, without feeling guilty about making me feel bad or left
out. The news scared him at first, as it did me when I was first
diagnosed, but he seems better now.

does anyone know if there is a chart or program to figure out how much
insulin to use. i know what the doctor told me, but that is too much sometimes.
just
curious.

How in the name of little green apples can anyone think that this is
suitable for diabetics? I suppose one might be able to fiddle with it by
using a mixture of whole wheat and bean or nut flours, but as it stands. . .

The Reeses and Sugar free Hersheys are in all the WAl-Marts and
