OK, I am a coffee drinker. I wake up, go make coffee, go back to bed for 10

minutes, then go get the first cup, take it back to bed, then go get second cup

and stay up.

So, I have no idea how it affects my bg.

BUT I just realized that maybe instead of looking for a nice man in my life, I

should concentrate on finding a butler to make and bring me coffee, haha!

Seriously, I have no idea if it does me any good, but I love that morning coffee

and can't wait to drink it.

Tucson Kitty, who is feeling perky today, yup!

Hi:

I've been newly tested for Type II, first overnight fasting level at 141,

second at 137. Have yet to get a glucose testing kit but am taking a

" class " in diabetes care tomorrow. I've read conflicting information on the

effects of coffee on glucose tolerance. In those without diabetes there is

evidence that it helps prevent it (at 6 or more cups a day). However, after

diabetes there is no real data on it but many caution its ingestion. Does

anyone have personal experience with testing with and without coffee? I

find that it helps control my appetite.

Thanks,

Jay

My husband drinks a cup of coffee every day and he has Type 2 Diabetes. It

doesn't hurt his blood glucose levels at all. I watched a sho yesterday that

said Coffee is good for your skin, with all the antioxidants and coffee helps

prevent Colon Cancer in men and Breast Cancer in Women.

Needless to say, I don't drink it, because I hate the taste. Only once in

awhile with lots of creamer!

Your blood sugars should improve over time with the correnct amount of

Metformin or Insulin Dosage. Good luck!

Hi Kitty,

You need a programmable coffee maker, then you would not have to get up,

then go back to bed. gave me a programmable one for Christmas. I

program

it to come on around 8:15 AM. If I get up earlier, I can always switch it to

on and have coffee in 5 minutes.

Hi Sonya,

Did you meet with someone to come up with your diet? Maybe you could meet

again and explain you are having some issues keeping on track?

Maybe they can give you additional suggestions, or modify the plan a

little. The plan I was given wasn't really complicated... it basically told

me what amounts of carbs, meat, fat, veggies to eat and let me fill in the

items (example, Lunch.. 3 carb units, 1-2 servings of veggies, 2-3 oz of

meat and 1 fat serving).. a carb unit is 15 grams.

I don't know if that is what you got or not, but it was pretty straight

forward for me.

As for charting your numbers...

There are several software programs available (see if the meter manufactur

has one). I know most of them will let you manually key the values (or you

can get a cable to automatically download the data from most meters). Or

you could use Excel. You can chart things in Excel (don't know what your

computer experience is, so this may not be an option).

There are also some web based applications you can use as well. Do a search

on the web for 'free diabetes software' and check out what hits you get.

You can check out the features that they have, and try a few out to find one

that works well for your needs.

Rhonda, get your mother two books: DR BERNSTEIN'S DIABETES SOLUTION and

DIABETES FOR DUMMIES. Also, ask her to ask her doctor to set herself up with a

dietician and a diabetes education class.

Meanwhile, purge her house of all sweets and starches. Rice, potatoes, pasta,

and the like are no longer her friends; indeed, starches are worse than sweets

for diabetics, for sugar makes the blood glucose go up and then come down, while

starches send them up and keep them up.

Hi everybody,

My mom just got dxed being borderline dibetic and she wants me to give

her info on diabetes. She is a sweetaholic and knows she's got to

change her diet. I'm ready for all the info you have to give to pass

on to her. Do email me direct and the group b/c I don't have much time

to go to groups daily and read. I'm trying to save myself from

mycotoxin poisoning from living in a mold house and didn't find out til

recently that was killing me off. My mom doesn't even have a computer

so I will have to print things out for her. Thanks

If you have any comorbid conditions (sleep aonea, diabetes,

hypertension, etc...) you would qualify for surgery. I ran your BMI

(info below) and at your weight and height you have a BMI of 38.3. It

is possible, I would find a surgeon and see what he/she says. You can

go to obestiyhelp.com and find surgeons and a wealth of information

(for you area of the country) there.

Height: feet " 5 " inches " 9 "

Weight: pounds 260

You have a BMI of 38.3.

This indicates that you are Obese.

Your BMI is generally high enough to qualify you for bariatric surgery

if you have comorbid conditions such as diabetes (type II),

hypertension, sleep apnea or other potentially life-threatening

diseases.

The table below shows value ranges and what they mean.

Range Meaning

less than 18.5 Underweight

18.5 - 24.9 Normal

25.0 - 29.9 Overweight

30.0 - 39.9 Obese

40.0 - 50 Extremely Obese

over 50 Super Obese

Welcome to the group!! If you have any more questions please feel

free to post them.

HUGS!!!

I have recently been diagnosed with IPF, I am taking colchisine .6mg, NAC 3/day and exercising to keep myself fit. Is there any other things that help slow or relieve symptoms? Thanks Bob

Welcome Bob ...

Go to the files and there are gobs of reading material for what may suit you personally. We're all so different.

We've been discussing the use of NAC. Many of us have or do use it and some of us (me) can't because of stomach upset. No, stomach cramping!

Where do you live?

Sorry you share this lousy dx (diagnosis) but you are now in the best place you can be.

Hang in there.

Bob

Welcome here. Curious as to why you're taking the colchicine. Do you

have other illnesses accompanying it, such as gout?

I'm assuming by what you say that at the present you're not on oxygen

and your saturation levels are fine. What led you to a pulmonologist and

how were you diagnosed?
