Guest guest Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I have been wondering the same thing. Here's an update on me. My A1C drawn on 8/31 was 5.9 - YES! I have been logging my BG levels, my exercise, and my foods eaten. I have gone through a series of 4 diabetes classes, been seeing a diabetes nurse, and now am seeing a nutritionist. I am still taking Metformen, Januvia, and 12 units of Lantis. I am feeling much better than I have in a long time and am trying to stay on track. Some of the things from this list that have helped me get to this spot are Mark's humor and candor and everyone else's knowledge and support. Thanks for being the fantastic group you are.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I am here. I went to the doctor today and my A-1-c is 7.4. my creatine is 1 and my bun is 23. I thought that a normal bun was 20. Nurse pat, does your bun deal with kidney function? I am needing to have a wisdom tooth pulled and could this cause my sugar to be a little higher? Thank you in advance. I just thought of something else, I was taken off of biata and placed on victroza, this was done about a month ago, could that make a difference as well? Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I also have a windows 7 computer with windows live mail. I can receive, but not send.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 i, TOO, HATED WINDOWS 7 LIVE MAIL. After my last computer crash I had a new hard disk drive installed on my old mother board, and then installed windows xp, so I could use outlook express once again.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yes it is true. The pig is working on learning a new way to ramble on the pc. Live mail sucked and so does this Microsoft what ever it is. Sir Don Hansen who is a fine old man, 92 I think, but don't let him know I told you. Will he will have to hook up to my pc and make the changes so this pile of poop will work as it should. Kind of like riding a bike for two. Kind of cool how he tried to do it last week with the live mail pile of stuff I had and got rid of. Good o out look express is what I need back, but hear old timers and old farts like me has to get ready for change and like it no matter. Seems like out look express is going to die soon like everything else in our life dies that we love. I think they who are in charge of pc's and all the programs are trying to slow us down who dig the ramble. Then again could be it is just about money and this is another way of making more of it. I'm like an old dog trying to learn a new trick. The saw bones told me to day I'm the only patient out of more then 100 that he has coming to see him for diabetes that has got the A1C down as fast and held it there for six months now. He did tell me to take ten units at night when my sugar was over 130, but so far the most units I have taken at bed time is only five and most nights I take none. The bed times sugars have been running between 95 and 110 at bed time. Hate to pitch $200 worth of insulin in the trash, so will keep it and use it when the times come that I think I got to eat the house down. Have had the five new pens for 2 months now and haven't ran out of the free test pen his nurse gave me back in June. I'm thinking it may last at least 2 years as long as I leave it in the ice box? The Met forman he wishes for me to continue to take. Can't seem to get the pounds to move under 2/80, but no why and will change all of that soon. The rides on the no where bike are staying as they always have been, but it seems now I know I can eat a bit more and get away with it because of the exercise. I've figured out that I can ride my no where bike for thirty minutes or 45 minutes right after a meal and my sugar will come right down to where it needs to be. This does add up to 90 minutes a day of bike rides, but it really will keep the sugar under control even if you eat half of the cow. Doesn't help the pounds come off, but does wonders for the sugar control. Can't send new messages yet, so have to hook on to a reply as this is. I can't even find my address book any where on my pc. Well the don is much smarter then I and he will have to fix me up to morrow or some day this week. I'm not liking this program either, but it is better then the windows live mail that I had. Even though I haven't been posing to my buds, I have been reading all and keeping up with what is going on. Suppose I should get my pig butt in bed now. Probably should take a shower first or my wife may make me sleep on the floor instead of in the bed. Seems to me us folks who are getting older shouldn't have to take as many showers as we did when younger? I'm now retired and can't smell as bad as I once did after working all day. I think now I could get by with one shower a week and still not smell bad? Pig's realy are very clean animals and I'm sure I smell better then a pig! Do love you guys and have missed you all. The fine ramble is a thing that I do so love to do and got a lot of catching up to do when sir Hansen takes care of this silly email program I got now. Pc's are way over my head. I can make about anything our of wood and run saws and figure them out, but these computer's are way over my head, but still glad I have one and couldn't stop needing it. Can't beet it for staying in touch with all your buds all at one time. Most of my old email buds are now hanging out on face book and most of the list are also diing like my old outlook express did. Well I haven't joined the face book game yet. Think I will hang out for more money! _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of LaFrance-Wolf Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2012 10:23 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: RE: Where is everyone?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Your messages came through, Mark. You might be using Outlook 2010. It's different, but doable. JAWS 14 (to be released in the near future) is supposed to make using Outlook much easier. I sure hope so! Glad to hear you're still maintaining the good control. It's good to know you're out there listening in, even if it's hard for you to reply as you once did. As I said, this will most likely be changing for the better.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well he thinks it is because my hormones levels are messed up. He took 3 bottles of my blood and now we wait to see what comes from it. I still believe I figured out I could eat larger amounts of food and exercise it off. The main problem is though, I'm holding my weight in check but not dropping it because of the extra calories. Would love to blame it on hormones or anything other then my self, but facts are still facts and I have to admit the problem is me and do something about it. Old habits are way to easy to repeat if we don't pay attention. We all dig the pass time of eating and eating what we desire, but getting rid of extra weight means cutting down on calory in take and more exercise. This is the only formula that works to take off unwanted pounds. I was shocked that my A1C was 5.8 and not 6.5. been enjoying lo5ts of fresh fruit that I have been picking up from the farmers market and man is it ever so good! Love the summer with all the gardens. Not the same with the hot house fruit and veggies we can get in the winter. Hate the heat of the summer, but with out the heat the gardens wouldn't grow right. The saw bones did say that most of his men patiets my size are on 200 or 300 units of insulin a day and they got piles of trouble to boot. They like most folks believe the insulin willl take care of the diabetes and they can continue on with all the bad eating habits and be ok. I suppose most folks would rather take a truck load of meds then change there life style and feel better. I my self hate the feeling that out of control sugars will cause you to feel. This right way may not add any more years to my life, but at least it will cause me to have a better quality of life. He did say he expected my A1C to go up to 7 or 8 because this is what happens to most of his patients. He was happy to see mine actually stayed the same and even went down a bit. He told me to only use the lantus when I needed it which isn't that much. But at least I do have it if I mess up or just have a high bed time sugar level. He told me to stop testing my sugar so many times a day and twice a day was enough, but of course I ignored his advice and told the nurse to put me down for eight times a day. She listened to me and ignored him as well. My HDL came up to 65, but my LDL is to high at 130. looks like a new pill is coming in my future from what I could gather from what he was saying. Back in March of this year MY hdl WAS 31. I GUESS THE EXERCISE GOT IT UP. Ok, enough ramble for now. Got to jump up and do the house cleaning that has to happen to day. Takes about four hours to vacuume and mop and the dusting and bathrooms, but it always causes my sugar test to go way down in to the ninety's. my doc told me to simply keep moving and if nothing else just walk around the room. He said if I sit for more then 2 hours total in a day from get up until go to bed, then I'm sitting to much. Hard to ramble on the pc standing up. Eating while standing works good though. He said if I just had to sit around, then sit on my no where bike and ride while my back side was resting. He said to throw out the chairs in the house and the TV. Then once I get out of bed of the morning stay on my feet moving to and fro until bed time. Muscles burn calories and carbs as well. Of course he said he and his family needs to as well listen to his advice he was telling me. I'm getting better about doing more moving about, but not there yet. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of LaFrance-Wolf Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 5:14 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: RE: Where is everyone?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Your getting your doctor trained very nicely, Mark! LOL Interesting about your HDL jumping from 31 to 65. I've been told repeatedly mine is low due to genetics. And it has indeed stayed in the 20s for years. Maybe I should try riding to nowhere for a little while!

Well he thinks it is because my hormones levels are messed up. He took 3 bottles of my blood and now we wait to see what comes from it. I still believe I figured out I could eat larger amounts of food and exercise it off. The main problem is though, I'm holding my weight in check but not dropping it because of the extra calories. Would love to blame it on hormones or anything other then my self, but facts are still facts and I have to admit the problem is me and do something about it. Old habits are way to easy to repeat if we don't pay attention. We all dig the pass time of eating and eating what we desire, but getting rid of extra weight means cutting down on calory in take and more exercise. This is the only formula that works to take off unwanted pounds. I was shocked that my A1C was 5.8 and not 6.5. been enjoying lo5ts of fresh fruit that I have been picking up from the farmers market and man is it ever so good! Love the summer with all the gardens. Not the same with the hot house fruit and veggies we can get in the winter. Hate the heat of the summer, but with out the heat the gardens wouldn't grow right. The saw bones did say that most of his men patiets my size are on 200 or 300 units of insulin a day and they got piles of trouble to boot. They like most folks believe the insulin willl take care of the diabetes and they can continue on with all the bad eating habits and be ok. I suppose most folks would rather take a truck load of meds then change there life style and feel better. I my self hate the feeling that out of control sugars will cause you to feel. This right way may not add any more years to my life, but at least it will cause me to have a better quality of life. He did say he expected my A1C to go up to 7 or 8 because this is what happens to most of his patients. He was happy to see mine actually stayed the same and even went down a bit. He told me to only use the lantus when I needed it which isn't that much. But at least I do have it if I mess up or just have a high bed time sugar level. He told me to stop testing my sugar so many times a day and twice a day was enough, but of course I ignored his advice and told the nurse to put me down for eight times a day. She listened to me and ignored him as well. My HDL came up to 65, but my LDL is to high at 130. looks like a new pill is coming in my future from what I could gather from what he was saying. Back in March of this year MY hdl WAS 31. I GUESS THE EXERCISE GOT IT UP. Ok, enough ramble for now. Got to jump up and do the house cleaning that has to happen to day. Takes about four hours to vacuume and mop and the dusting and bathrooms, but it always causes my sugar test to go way down in to the ninety's. my doc told me to simply keep moving and if nothing else just walk around the room. He said if I sit for more then 2 hours total in a day from get up until go to bed, then I'm sitting to much. Hard to ramble on the pc standing up. Eating while standing works good though. He said if I just had to sit around, then sit on my no where bike and ride while my back side was resting. He said to throw out the chairs in the house and the TV. Then once I get out of bed of the morning stay on my feet moving to and fro until bed time. Muscles burn calories and carbs as well. Of course he said he and his family needs to as well listen to his advice he was telling me. I'm getting better about doing more moving about, but not there yet. _____ From: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of LaFrance-Wolf Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 5:14 PM To: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: RE: Where is everyone?

Well he thinks it is because my hormones levels are messed up. He took 3 bottles of my blood and now we wait to see what comes from it. I still believe I figured out I could eat larger amounts of food and exercise it off. The main problem is though, I'm holding my weight in check but not dropping it because of the extra calories. Would love to blame it on hormones or anything other then my self, but facts are still facts and I have to admit the problem is me and do something about it. Old habits are way to easy to repeat if we don't pay attention. We all dig the pass time of eating and eating what we desire, but getting rid of extra weight means cutting down on calory in take and more exercise. This is the only formula that works to take off unwanted pounds. I was shocked that my A1C was 5.8 and not 6.5. been enjoying lo5ts of fresh fruit that I have been picking up from the farmers market and man is it ever so good! Love the summer with all the gardens. Not the same with the hot house fruit and veggies we can get in the winter. Hate the heat of the summer, but with out the heat the gardens wouldn't grow right. The saw bones did say that most of his men patiets my size are on 200 or 300 units of insulin a day and they got piles of trouble to boot. They like most folks believe the insulin willl take care of the diabetes and they can continue on with all the bad eating habits and be ok. I suppose most folks would rather take a truck load of meds then change there life style and feel better. I my self hate the feeling that out of control sugars will cause you to feel. This right way may not add any more years to my life, but at least it will cause me to have a better quality of life. He did say he expected my A1C to go up to 7 or 8 because this is what happens to most of his patients. He was happy to see mine actually stayed the same and even went down a bit. He told me to only use the lantus when I needed it which isn't that much. But at least I do have it if I mess up or just have a high bed time sugar level. He told me to stop testing my sugar so many times a day and twice a day was enough, but of course I ignored his advice and told the nurse to put me down for eight times a day. She listened to me and ignored him as well. My HDL came up to 65, but my LDL is to high at 130. looks like a new pill is coming in my future from what I could gather from what he was saying. Back in March of this year MY hdl WAS 31. I GUESS THE EXERCISE GOT IT UP. Ok, enough ramble for now. Got to jump up and do the house cleaning that has to happen to day. Takes about four hours to vacuume and mop and the dusting and bathrooms, but it always causes my sugar test to go way down in to the ninety's. my doc told me to simply keep moving and if nothing else just walk around the room. He said if I sit for more then 2 hours total in a day from get up until go to bed, then I'm sitting to much. Hard to ramble on the pc standing up. Eating while standing works good though. He said if I just had to sit around, then sit on my no where bike and ride while my back side was resting. He said to throw out the chairs in the house and the TV. Then once I get out of bed of the morning stay on my feet moving to and fro until bed time. Muscles burn calories and carbs as well. Of course he said he and his family needs to as well listen to his advice he was telling me. I'm getting better about doing more moving about, but not there yet. _____ From: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of LaFrance-Wolf Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 5:14 PM To: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: RE: Where is everyone?

Yes it is true. The pig is working on learning a new way to ramble on the pc. Live mail sucked and so does this Microsoft what ever it is. Sir Don Hansen who is a fine old man, 92 I think, but don't let him know I told you. Will he will have to hook up to my pc and make the changes so this pile of poop will work as it should. Kind of like riding a bike for two. Kind of cool how he tried to do it last week with the live mail pile of stuff I had and got rid of. Good o out look express is what I need back, but hear old timers and old farts like me has to get ready for change and like it no matter. Seems like out look express is going to die soon like everything else in our life dies that we love. I think they who are in charge of pc's and all the programs are trying to slow us down who dig the ramble. Then again could be it is just about money and this is another way of making more of it. I'm like an old dog trying to learn a new trick. The saw bones told me to day I'm the only patient out of more then 100 that he has coming to see him for diabetes that has got the A1C down as fast and held it there for six months now. He did tell me to take ten units at night when my sugar was over 130, but so far the most units I have taken at bed time is only five and most nights I take none. The bed times sugars have been running between 95 and 110 at bed time. Hate to pitch $200 worth of insulin in the trash, so will keep it and use it when the times come that I think I got to eat the house down. Have had the five new pens for 2 months now and haven't ran out of the free test pen his nurse gave me back in June. I'm thinking it may last at least 2 years as long as I leave it in the ice box? The Met forman he wishes for me to continue to take. Can't seem to get the pounds to move under 2/80, but no why and will change all of that soon. The rides on the no where bike are staying as they always have been, but it seems now I know I can eat a bit more and get away with it because of the exercise. I've figured out that I can ride my no where bike for thirty minutes or 45 minutes right after a meal and my sugar will come right down to where it needs to be. This does add up to 90 minutes a day of bike rides, but it really will keep the sugar under control even if you eat half of the cow. Doesn't help the pounds come off, but does wonders for the sugar control. Can't send new messages yet, so have to hook on to a reply as this is. I can't even find my address book any where on my pc. Well the don is much smarter then I and he will have to fix me up to morrow or some day this week. I'm not liking this program either, but it is better then the windows live mail that I had. Even though I haven't been posing to my buds, I have been reading all and keeping up with what is going on. Suppose I should get my pig butt in bed now. Probably should take a shower first or my wife may make me sleep on the floor instead of in the bed. Seems to me us folks who are getting older shouldn't have to take as many showers as we did when younger? I'm now retired and can't smell as bad as I once did after working all day. I think now I could get by with one shower a week and still not smell bad? Pig's realy are very clean animals and I'm sure I smell better then a pig! Do love you guys and have missed you all. The fine ramble is a thing that I do so love to do and got a lot of catching up to do when sir Hansen takes care of this silly email program I got now. Pc's are way over my head. I can make about anything our of wood and run saws and figure them out, but these computer's are way over my head, but still glad I have one and couldn't stop needing it. Can't beet it for staying in touch with all your buds all at one time. Most of my old email buds are now hanging out on face book and most of the list are also diing like my old outlook express did.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I can tell you for sure, if you got a pc, then you are sitting on your back side to long a day. I did write down when I sit and for how long just so I could see. I wasn't impressed! I do believe though that moving is the best plan to get rid of calories faster. Riding the no where bike 2 hours a day is grate, but then if I sit for six hours or more as well in the same day? Well looks to me as if I may have wasted the 2 hours of bike. Does make for better sleeping when you move all day long. I stood all day at work most days for over 33 years and had no problem sleeping through the night. Now waking up ten times during the night is getting way old fast. Seeing as how hard it is for the fat pig to get up and down from the floor, maybe having no chairs is the way to go? Wouldn't be as likely to sit on the floor knowing I had to finally get back up after a bit. Can't just walk around in circles all day and do nothing, so guess I will clean a room real good each day. The house is big enough that it will take all week and then I start a new week and repeat it again. House will look better then most sighted folks homes do and I can't spend to much time on my back side this way. The doc told me I still had two legs and my feet were both still there to use. So he said to use them so I wouldn't loose them by not using them. Eat less, exercise more and staying on your feet most of the day moving the muscles causes weight to go away faster. Maybe I can learn to dance and dance for the neighbors during the day. Probably scare the crap out of most of them. I do read a lot. Well I should say I listen to books. I guess I can start listening while I walk around in circles? Maybe run in place instead? I sure do enjoy my easy chair. Maybe what I need is a set of peddles to hook my feet in to at night as I sleep so my leg muscles will be exercising as I sleep? Just tie them on and flip the switch on and drift off to never, never land. Maybe lone of those tan and tone beds you can get on and it pulls you and twist you up in a knot? Maybe need to buy me one of those toning beds for my house. No tan for me, but could go for some toning. They say that stretching now is getting real popular and it is good for you as well. Maybe I could do me some of that as well. Make me taller and the extra weight will spread out and make me look smaller around. Lets see, I'm now six foot, so I could get stretched out to seven foot and look like I only weighed 185 instead of 285. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Bond Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 6:51 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: RE: Where is everyone?

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'd need to figure out how to work on my full-length novel (presently contracted for 3 per year) while not sitting. Hmmm. Perhaps I need a secretary to follow me around and I would simply dictate?

I can tell you for sure, if you got a pc, then you are sitting on your back side to long a day. I did write down when I sit and for how long just so I could see. I wasn't impressed! I do believe though that moving is the best plan to get rid of calories faster. Riding the no where bike 2 hours a day is grate, but then if I sit for six hours or more as well in the same day? Well looks to me as if I may have wasted the 2 hours of bike. Does make for better sleeping when you move all day long. I stood all day at work most days for over 33 years and had no problem sleeping through the night. Now waking up ten times during the night is getting way old fast. Seeing as how hard it is for the fat pig to get up and down from the floor, maybe having no chairs is the way to go? Wouldn't be as likely to sit on the floor knowing I had to finally get back up after a bit. Can't just walk around in circles all day and do nothing, so guess I will clean a room real good each day. The house is big enough that it will take all week and then I start a new week and repeat it again. House will look better then most sighted folks homes do and I can't spend to much time on my back side this way. The doc told me I still had two legs and my feet were both still there to use. So he said to use them so I wouldn't loose them by not using them. Eat less, exercise more and staying on your feet most of the day moving the muscles causes weight to go away faster. Maybe I can learn to dance and dance for the neighbors during the day. Probably scare the crap out of most of them. I do read a lot. Well I should say I listen to books. I guess I can start listening while I walk around in circles? Maybe run in place instead? I sure do enjoy my easy chair. Maybe what I need is a set of peddles to hook my feet in to at night as I sleep so my leg muscles will be exercising as I sleep? Just tie them on and flip the switch on and drift off to never, never land. Maybe lone of those tan and tone beds you can get on and it pulls you and twist you up in a knot? Maybe need to buy me one of those toning beds for my house. No tan for me, but could go for some toning. They say that stretching now is getting real popular and it is good for you as well. Maybe I could do me some of that as well. Make me taller and the extra weight will spread out and make me look smaller around. Lets see, I'm now six foot, so I could get stretched out to seven foot and look like I only weighed 185 instead of 285. _____ From: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Bond Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 6:51 PM To: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: RE: Where is everyone?

Well he thinks it is because my hormones levels are messed up. He took 3 bottles of my blood and now we wait to see what comes from it. I still believe I figured out I could eat larger amounts of food and exercise it off. The main problem is though, I'm holding my weight in check but not dropping it because of the extra calories. Would love to blame it on hormones or anything other then my self, but facts are still facts and I have to admit the problem is me and do something about it. Old habits are way to easy to repeat if we don't pay attention. We all dig the pass time of eating and eating what we desire, but getting rid of extra weight means cutting down on calory in take and more exercise. This is the only formula that works to take off unwanted pounds. I was shocked that my A1C was 5.8 and not 6.5. been enjoying lo5ts of fresh fruit that I have been picking up from the farmers market and man is it ever so good! Love the summer with all the gardens. Not the same with the hot house fruit and veggies we can get in the winter. Hate the heat of the summer, but with out the heat the gardens wouldn't grow right. The saw bones did say that most of his men patiets my size are on 200 or 300 units of insulin a day and they got piles of trouble to boot. They like most folks believe the insulin willl take care of the diabetes and they can continue on with all the bad eating habits and be ok. I suppose most folks would rather take a truck load of meds then change there life style and feel better. I my self hate the feeling that out of control sugars will cause you to feel. This right way may not add any more years to my life, but at least it will cause me to have a better quality of life. He did say he expected my A1C to go up to 7 or 8 because this is what happens to most of his patients. He was happy to see mine actually stayed the same and even went down a bit. He told me to only use the lantus when I needed it which isn't that much. But at least I do have it if I mess up or just have a high bed time sugar level. He told me to stop testing my sugar so many times a day and twice a day was enough, but of course I ignored his advice and told the nurse to put me down for eight times a day. She listened to me and ignored him as well. My HDL came up to 65, but my LDL is to high at 130. looks like a new pill is coming in my future from what I could gather from what he was saying. Back in March of this year MY hdl WAS 31. I GUESS THE EXERCISE GOT IT UP. Ok, enough ramble for now. Got to jump up and do the house cleaning that has to happen to day. Takes about four hours to vacuume and mop and the dusting and bathrooms, but it always causes my sugar test to go way down in to the ninety's. my doc told me to simply keep moving and if nothing else just walk around the room. He said if I sit for more then 2 hours total in a day from get up until go to bed, then I'm sitting to much. Hard to ramble on the pc standing up. Eating while standing works good though. He said if I just had to sit around, then sit on my no where bike and ride while my back side was resting. He said to throw out the chairs in the house and the TV. Then once I get out of bed of the morning stay on my feet moving to and fro until bed time. Muscles burn calories and carbs as well. Of course he said he and his family needs to as well listen to his advice he was telling me. I'm getting better about doing more moving about, but not there yet. _____ From: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of LaFrance-Wolf Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 5:14 PM To: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: RE: Where is everyone?

Yes it is true. The pig is working on learning a new way to ramble on the pc. Live mail sucked and so does this Microsoft what ever it is. Sir Don Hansen who is a fine old man, 92 I think, but don't let him know I told you. Will he will have to hook up to my pc and make the changes so this pile of poop will work as it should. Kind of like riding a bike for two. Kind of cool how he tried to do it last week with the live mail pile of stuff I had and got rid of. Good o out look express is what I need back, but hear old timers and old farts like me has to get ready for change and like it no matter. Seems like out look express is going to die soon like everything else in our life dies that we love. I think they who are in charge of pc's and all the programs are trying to slow us down who dig the ramble. Then again could be it is just about money and this is another way of making more of it. I'm like an old dog trying to learn a new trick. The saw bones told me to day I'm the only patient out of more then 100 that he has coming to see him for diabetes that has got the A1C down as fast and held it there for six months now. He did tell me to take ten units at night when my sugar was over 130, but so far the most units I have taken at bed time is only five and most nights I take none. The bed times sugars have been running between 95 and 110 at bed time. Hate to pitch $200 worth of insulin in the trash, so will keep it and use it when the times come that I think I got to eat the house down. Have had the five new pens for 2 months now and haven't ran out of the free test pen his nurse gave me back in June. I'm thinking it may last at least 2 years as long as I leave it in the ice box? The Met forman he wishes for me to continue to take. Can't seem to get the pounds to move under 2/80, but no why and will change all of that soon. The rides on the no where bike are staying as they always have been, but it seems now I know I can eat a bit more and get away with it because of the exercise. I've figured out that I can ride my no where bike for thirty minutes or 45 minutes right after a meal and my sugar will come right down to where it needs to be. This does add up to 90 minutes a day of bike rides, but it really will keep the sugar under control even if you eat half of the cow. Doesn't help the pounds come off, but does wonders for the sugar control. Can't send new messages yet, so have to hook on to a reply as this is. I can't even find my address book any where on my pc. Well the don is much smarter then I and he will have to fix me up to morrow or some day this week. I'm not liking this program either, but it is better then the windows live mail that I had. Even though I haven't been posing to my buds, I have been reading all and keeping up with what is going on. Suppose I should get my pig butt in bed now. Probably should take a shower first or my wife may make me sleep on the floor instead of in the bed. Seems to me us folks who are getting older shouldn't have to take as many showers as we did when younger? I'm now retired and can't smell as bad as I once did after working all day. I think now I could get by with one shower a week and still not smell bad? Pig's realy are very clean animals and I'm sure I smell better then a pig! Do love you guys and have missed you all. The fine ramble is a thing that I do so love to do and got a lot of catching up to do when sir Hansen takes care of this silly email program I got now. Pc's are way over my head. I can make about anything our of wood and run saws and figure them out, but these computer's are way over my head, but still glad I have one and couldn't stop needing it. Can't beet it for staying in touch with all your buds all at one time. Most of my old email buds are now hanging out on face book and most of the list are also diing like my old outlook express did. Well I haven't joined the face book game yet. Think I will hang out for more money! _____ From: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of LaFrance-Wolf Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2012 10:23 PM To: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: RE: Where is everyone?
