Yeah laura, that may help u better.

I was on actos and an old med called ameril in the past and they did me

no good, that is why i had to start insulin. I started with vile and

seringe but went to pens then the pump.

I like the pens and the pump better.

So if u have to have insulin I would suggest the pen.

The weird thing is we have 3 bottles of Novalog in the refrigerator that

had but after the first month or so he was holding his own so much he

stopped taking the insulin. I probably need it. I guess I would have to get

one of those Count-A-Dose things to be able to use it. I would prefer the

pen. But I have to wait until the doctor decides.

Gee, ,

Regular soda has about 545 grams of carbs in it. That is like eating 3

pieces of bread. Even if you are low, that is too many carbs to drink.

Hey Dave.

Before I was a diabetic i only drank soda with sugar in it and i could

not stand diet pepsi.

When i became insulin dependent though i automatically suddenly one day

found myself drinking a diet pepsi.

I do not drink diet pop in moderation though to be honest.

I do still however drink regular dr pepper. They say diet tastes the

same as regular dr pepper but to me it doesn't at all.

I try not to drink to much sugary soda though because I know even with

them pump I have to be somewhat careful what i do.

Ya understand wha i'm tryin ta say?

I prefer red (dark) grape juice. I'll drink a couple ounces of juice and 1

glucose tablet if I'm low enough to justify this regime. IF you have kidney

issues (my creatine clearance is above normal) as many diabetics do, or have the

potential to be, you might want to watch citric acid products like orange juice.

If i find the actual countadose i will find instructions online

Thanks. I hope I don't go to insulin yet but I probably will have to at

some point if I don't shape up.

It is okay to eat a small amount of pasta and rice. If you are not able to

eat only small amounts, then it is better to not eat it at all. Always do a

BG about 2 hours after eating those foods-and the same goes with eating

cookies, cake etc. You will then know how that amount of food affects you.

After all, no one else has to know what your test results are, but you will

know and then you will know how to decide if those food choices come up the

next time.

I thought I heard that pasta and rice were kind of no-no for us but yet when

I read these diabetic cookbooks they have recipes with them and they even

have recipes that use real sugar. The advice I read in the care sections

sounds like what I have been hearing in here yet they actually put cookie

recipes that use real sugar, say you can only have one and that you can even

make smaller cookies. They are more in favor of using a smaller amount of

real sugar than using Splenda.

,

You have to use a 30 unit BD (that is the brand) syringe. It is quite easy

to use as the closed syringe fit into a clip and a slot. There is a wheel

on the side that you roll up or down. It clicks as you move it and each

click is one unit.

Hi .

Insulin may be best for you. It is hard to say.

Take care.

Even if they are but are not the BD brand, they will not fit into the

device. When I was using the device, my medication company sent me the

wrong brand and I had a big fight with them over returns the brand they sent

and then having them send me the BD brand-which my doctor had prescribed

from the beginning.
