Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Kim T., Welcome. Well, I am the 55 year old adoptive mother of four, grandmother of two, and was dx'd with SLE, RA, Sjogren's, Chronic Lyme's, Chronic Acute Fibromyalgia (Myofibrositis), Anemia, and non-insulin dependent Diabetes...all between the ages of 30 and 45, although I started having weird symptoms when I was ten. So, it's not true that Lupus is always fatal...to the disappointment of some of my opponents across the bargaining table when in union negotations. LOL I was forced into disability retirement about seven years ago due to my health issues, but up until this year, I was still functioning pretty well. Right now, I am not doing so great, but certainly not as bad off as some. I still have two young sons at home to raise, one 15 and one 12. They are a real challenge, so I have to stay alert. Not easy with this disease bundle, that's for sure. I live in No. California, about 50 miles from San Francisco. We are a half hour from the Pacific Ocean and right in the middle of wine country. Nice area, but expensive to live in. Where do you hail from, again? Anyway, welcome, and feel free to join in any conversation, ask questions, whine, vent, etc. Hugs, MM aka: Mike, one of the moderators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, to me, 30 carbs in a meal would be high. Sometimes I don't eat that much in a day. I tend more towards 50-70 carbs a day, however. Just depends. Still, you need to try to find low-glycemic carbs. Bananas aren't, as far as my thinking goes. Milk is also high in carbs. Cream isn't. Go figure. Berries are better, and I'm sure someone will list all of the carbs for the different sorts of berries...but you still need to limit the amount of berries you have with your whole cream. Did you see the newbie letter that Vicki posts? It has some good information. sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 In many studies magnesium is being found to lower insulin resistance, improve blood glucose levels, and even is being found to delay and/or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. You might try magnesium, which is being found to be lacking in dietary intake for over 68% of the population, and is even more lacking in diabetes. Some dietary sources are green leafy vegetables, brazil nuts, various seeds, even chocolate has the highest amount of magnesium by some reports. But our foods are becoming deficient, through processing, poor soil conditions , use of pesticides etc. so even the food cannot always be relied upon to provide adequate magnesium. The director of the Magnesium Research Lab, himself a renowned MD and a diabetic recommends that magnesium supplements be used by all diabetics, that levels be watched carefully in diabetics and anyone else showing any signs at all of peripheral neuropathy from any cause. New research on magnesium and diabetes is beginning to be looked at more seriously and the findings are encouraging. Dr. Herbert Mannsman Jr., the director of Magnesium Research Lab states: " The current " party line " on this subject is not universally accepted, but many of us believe the establishment is too conservative and will some day change. While admitting its importance, for some unknown reason they remain reluctant to recommend magnesium supplements. They just do not know how poor the American diet is in Mg and the frequency of magnesium deficiency " " I have had diabetic neuropathy (DN) for over 10 years. The most significant symptom is my neuropathic pain of burning feet, called erythromelalgia (EM). With the aid of Mg I can completely suppress the symptom, but if my blood glucose level is acutely elevated, because of a dietary indiscretion, the pain flares in spite of an apparent adequate dose of Mg. It goes away with extra Mg gluconate (Magonate) in an hour or so in either case. Without the Mg it will last for six plus hours, even though the blood glucose level is normal in about two hours. " " It is my belief that every one with diabetes should be taking Mg supplementation to the point of one's Maximum Tolerated Dose, which is until one has soft-semi, formed stools. In addition, anyone with neuropathy, without a known cause, must be adequately evaluated for diabetes and especially those with poorly, slowly, healing foot sores of any kind. Since the use of Mg is safe I see no reason that this should not be " the standard of care " http://www.magnesiumresearchlab.com/ Poorly controlled diabetes leads to excessive excretion of magnesium in the urine, and because of frequent urination. It sets off a vicious cycle. There are many ways to increase magnesium levels,and many supplements available to choose from. Some are better than others, some cause intestinal problems, like diarrhea, and some take up to a year to raise magnesium levels in our bodies. Some have long term effects, like cardiac arrythmias.....and magnesium can cause problems if severe renal insufficiency is present. So you have to know and investigate fully what's best. Insulin and oral diabetic medications also have their drawbacks, and new insulins are unproven in their long term effects, some studies are looking at cancers, more rapidly progressing retinopathy with Lantus, for example, increased incidences of hypoglycemia. (even though they claim otherwise) Oral medications are now being found to be associated with increased incidences of macular edema.....etc. French RN, LPHA cfrench180@...

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Lynn, you realize that starting insulin does *not* mean failure. It means you are taking the appropriate steps to correct your current, immediate problem. Delaying and perhaps preventing more serious complications of diabetes that *can't* be corrected. If your doctor wants you to start taking insulin, do so without hesitation. You can *always* work on other things that have been suggested to get your blood sugars under control, and possibly reduce the amount of insulin you take or eventually eliminate the need at all. Remember, you can always quit insulin if you improve your diabetic control. You can't reverse the damage that uncontrolled blood sugars can do to your body.

As far as eating not sure what your usual pattern is but it is a good thing in a way that you can change now and teach all those wonderful kids great healthy eating patterns for life. Let that be your motivation that is it not just for you but your whole family. I think we have to ask ourselves do we love the food more or the children? Do we want to be around for them or not. Keep your eyes focused on the future. Have a vision for yourself and family. Make it a family thing. If you all eat the same things it will be so much easier. Have a family meeting and make it a family project. That's what I would do. I ended up telling my family I just can't do this with all these different foods in the house. So the entire family changed their way of eating and lifestyle. AFter all if they don't, they will end up with the same risks as we have for diabetes. I know with a house full of kids it's sometimes hard to focus on eating right or even on time. But I know that you can do this and turn it all around.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I really like ISOPURE AND YOU CAN FIND IT AT THE VITAMIN SHOPPE. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT FLAVORS AND ALL I HAVE TRIED ARE GOOD IF THEY ARE COLD. mcolowick wrote: Hi, My name is Marilyn. I've been lurking until I got my date which is December 19th. I'm so excited! I've been trying for this with Kaiser for 4 years now but was turned down in the past. Once for using Warafin. Had Aortic Stenosis so they had to put in an aortic valve in 1995 but I have no heart disease. They said I could bleed out on the table. The next time my BMI was too high. I'm only 5 ft. and weighed 377. Am on Optifast and down to 327. Like everyone I can take it off but keeping it off is something else. I need this tool to live a normal life again. I can use all of the information I can get from people who have had this surgery as to what clear fluids they had the 3 days before surgery. Someone told me they were allowed to eat dill pickles but in class we were told only clear fluids you could see through. After surgery we can have sugar free, calorie free clear fruit flavored protein drinks. I can't find any like that. I would love to know of any brand you know of and where you buy it. Guess that's enough for now. Thanks so much for any advice. Marilyn --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
