I am having a really hard time with BS control. For breakfast I usually

have 1/2 a bagle. 2 hours later, I am still sitting at 169-230.

Thursday's unrinalysis revealed traces of ketones. That 1/2 bagel is

all I can eat. As soon as I eat, I either barf it up or, " you know "

pass it the other way...I am not waking up hypo or high, My fastings

read in the 80s on average. My doc in MN would like to see me on a

long, slow released insuling, low dose, one a day. I told my doc here

about it, he doesn't think those numbers are high enough. I am thinking

maybe he does not realized there is insulin out there for type 2s like

me. My PCP won't see me because " I'm advanced " and see a university doc

as my GI. GI doc doesn't think I need insulin, the xplant doc in MN

does, he wants me to rest the cells for the xplant So I am wondering

just how to get this insulin??? What do ya'll think??? Thanks-Kathleen

Kathleen I think you should ask Dr. S in MN if he knows a good

endocrinolgist in your area that is already accustomed to seeing pts

post ict. That is the problem I am having, there is no 'good " endo

docs in my area that is well enough aquainted with the procedure for me

to see. I had one guy, but he was a total jerk. Anyway, you will have

to find an endocrinolgist afterwards so why not just find one now that

you can work with.

PS I will return to my search for an endo when the kids go back to

school.

Hi Kathleen,

I certainly don't know a specific answer to your problem, but I suggest that

you might try a whole grain hot cereal made with water. The higher fiber the

better. I would even suggest a trip to a store where you might get " steel cut

oats " rather than rolled oats. Or, check the shelves of a big grocery store for

a whole grain, high fiber cereal.

The idea is that the whole grain high fiber is digested slower giving the

natural insulin more time to work and the fiber, actually you are looking for

water soluable fiber, helps the whole digestive process.

You can even cook the steel cut oats (AKA as pin-head oats) in a slow cooker

overnight so they are ready in the morning. Lowest heat and about 1/4 to 1/3

additional water. Sweeten with a little dried fruit and your favorite no cal

sweetener.

Try it a few days and then check your blood sugar and hopefully there will be

an improvement.

PS I like Hodgsons Mill Whole Grain with Flax and Soy, but it may not be

readily available in your area.

Try a sliver/slice of raw fresh gigger just held between the inside of the

lip and gum. It can get a little hot and if so just cut the amount and use more

frequently.
