Guest guest Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 well those folks who pocket a lot of cash on the insulin and other things you need as a T one, would certainly beg you to stop wondering about it. I know for sure it works for a T 2 like me. once my sugar got up to 165 because of eating things I shouldn't have been eating. so I ate very little rest of the day and exercise for 20 minutes out of each hour for the next six hours. drank water as well, but took no insulin. that night at dinner my sugar test showed my reading was 78. didn't take my insulin at dinner and it was only 98 at bed time. certainly know this works for us who are a T 2 and very good chance with smaller amounts of insulin? it could work as well for a T one, but the so called experts would love to point out to you how bad trying it would be for your health! they probably won't say anything about the huge piles of cash they would have to give up if you proved it really did work as you think. really no need to upset there apple cart no way. I mean, who would they get rich off of then if all the T one's stop using so much insulin? most will keep on eating what they desire and living on the edge, just as the so called experts know they will. what do you actually believe the percentage is of those who use there meters daily and control there diabetes with diet and exercise? just in the folks I know who are diabetic, T one or 2, maybe 3% keep good control on it and this may be giving some a lot of credit for a thing they aren't doing. most diabetics I know continue doing the same things as always, but wishing for different results!

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Historically, I mean, way back when, diabetics (this is before type 2 was a recognized disease), the only way the medical community knew to deal with diabetes was to starve the patient. And this ultimately proved to be ineffective since most diagnosed diabetics died. So, I guess I answered my own question. Still, I have to think now and then, a type 1 can safely come off insulin given the right conditions.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Dave, A type 1 cannot, under any circumstances, stop taking insulin. Even if the type 1 stops eating, the body is going to try and get glucose by converting fat and eventually muscle to glucose. Without insulin, your blood sugar would still rise and you would go into DKA and die. Re: Makes me wonder...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Well, I checked at 3 PM, about the time I normally do a mid-afternoon check, and I was 105, representing a drop from 2 PM. So, I ate my normal mid-afternoon snack. At dinner, around 6 PM, I was 167. So, it appears, not taking my lunchtime insulin had a delayed negative effect after all.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 , There really are no symptoms of kidney failure until you are in stage 4. then you have swelling in the legs, lots of fatigue, difficulty in breathing (due to water in the lungs)and just a feeling of crappiness! That is why it is important that your doc is periodically doing blood work to check your kidneys so you don’t get to that state. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Lora Leggett Sent: Friday, July 13, 2012 6:20 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: Makes me wonder...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 DKA means diabetic ketones-acidosis. Not a good thing to go into! It means your body is burning up fat and/or muscle for energy instead of glucose. This puts ketones into your body; these are a chemical that destroys body tissue, including brain tissues and can kill you. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Lora Leggett Sent: Friday, July 13, 2012 1:27 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: Makes me wonder...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yes, typically, your doctor will check urine along with drawing blood for blood labs. It's not a bad idea to see a nephrologist once a year who will probably want a 24-hour urine sample.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I missed the original e-mail concerning this question. But my husband Joe is going thru this right now. July 5th he got in his left arm a fistula and will take 3 months to heal before dialysis can be used in it, if he has to start before 3 months they will put a cathedar in upper chest. This is not a fun time we are going thru so please anyone out there be careful and try to do the best you can do by doing what your doctor says if you like him and trust him. Not all doctors have good bedside manner but some do know what they are talking about. Thanks for listening and if anyone has any suggestions send them in. Thanks, and Joe Makes me wonder... > > >>I had an 11:30 doctor's appointment this morning. Not the greatest time, >>but >> I had no choice.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I went through what your husband is going throughg about 2 years ago. It is a miserable time, but once he goes on dialysis, he will feel better. It takes some getting used to, but hang in there. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 7:11 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: Makes me wonder...
