Guest guest Posted April 7, 1999 Report Share Posted April 7, 1999 Dear , To answer your question of medication. The doctor put me on 2 1/2 mg of micronace morning and evening. My numbers dipped down to the 60's not fun....scarry. So he took me off the meds and I have to report to him with my numbers via phone every two weeks. Right now since I have been able to get my numbers down; with in the last two weeks I can tell when I have eaten something I shouldn't. I get a little light headed and dizzy.....when I check my numbers have gone up some. Will this straighten out as I continue to eat properly?

I live in Florida and > it is already hot at night but I guess I will sweat a little.Can't wait > for the mosquito's to come out.>>> , I agree... 2 1/2 pounds IS important because A) it's 2 1/2 pounds in the correct direction and It demonstrates to you that YOU can do it. Just a couple ideas I had while reading your note: 1. I keep a daily diary (Excel spreadsheet) with columns for fasting, 2 hr after breakfast, before lunch, 2 hr after lunch, 3pm, before supper, 2 hr. after supper, after exercise and after snack and I fill in whichever cells I take readings for. The sheet also keeps AM & PM blood pressure and pulse numbers. I have a little Omron computerized BP device (about $70). The sheet provides data that I take to the doctor and dietitian to show what's been happening and, more importantly, whenever I get my hemagoblins out of balance I pull out my spreadsheet, and look at my progress and realize that I AM improving my health. 2. I'd feel pretty good about the 105-120 BG's you're now seeing. 3. I'd tell Gutzilla you could use his help during this difficult time.Seeing the food you aren't eating being consumed by him doesn't make it easier for you...and you may even resent him for it. 4. Pace yourself on the weight loss.. I got into a rhythm of about 3 pounds a week and felt good looking back over the weeks. No particular 3 pounds made a difference but they all did when I looked at it over time. 5. Exercise...exercise...exercise...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 1999 Report Share Posted April 7, 1999 Dear Merry, " last two weeks I can tell when I have eaten something I shouldn't. I get a little light headed and dizzy.....when I check my numbers have gone up some. Will this straighten out as I continue to eat properly? " I do not know the answer to your question. I am not on medication and the morning numbers are 133-138 or so. Your numbers are in the normal range (I think, but don't know really). The meds really brought them down, didn't they but that was too low.The reason I asked was because I think they are going to put me on medication on Saturday. I have only been doing this for a few weeks but I am sure someone else could answer that question. I hope anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 1999 Report Share Posted April 7, 1999 Cynthis..are you taking a lot of glucophage? It affected me the same way! Only it made me throw up, too if I didn't sit or lie down till the Nassau passed. Toni Heller wrote: > > > Dear Merry, > > " last two weeks I can tell when I have eaten something I shouldn't.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 1999 Report Share Posted April 7, 1999 Glucophage (Metformin HCl) is famous, or infamous, for causing GI upset, i.e., diarrhea, constipation, gas, etc., sometimes explosively. For this reason, most people go on a small doseage until their systems get used to the drug and then they titrate their dosage upward. Thereaputic dosage is thought to be 1.5g/day or more. Lots of good drug information at http://www.rxlist.com/ .

Guest guest Posted April 17, 1999 Report Share Posted April 17, 1999 Hi Marshall, I am just one of the Type II's who frequent this board. I think we draw inspiration from the Type I's on this board as they are where we may some day be. Besides that, they are very good at sharing knowledge. Nice to have you join us. Mr. Edd new member Just some quick words. I'm new to this mailing list thing so I hope this is getting posted to everyone. First, Hi, I'm Marshall. I'm a type I, diagnosed 3 years but realistically, I've been hyperglycemic all my life. (hindsight is 20/20) I'm 27 years old but I feel like 80 sometimes. I have some advanced neuropathy, i.e. I have almost no feeling from the waist down. It is in check now that I have control, and I can still walk. So, I thank God for that. Most of you seem to be t2's, but you will all become insulin dependent someday. The better you take care now the longer you can prolong the inevitable. I wish I had known I was destroying my pancreas with all the Hostess and Mountain Dew. Anyway, enough whining. Things are good for me now. Second, I have read a couple of messages that talked about colas. Diet root beer and diet 7up are usually the favorites as diet Pepsi/coke seems to have a horrible aftertaste. Well, no one seems to have mentioned Pepsi ONE. I don't know what it is sweetened with, but no sugar/carbs, one calorie, low sodium, and believe it or not, it actually tastes pretty good. My roommate and one of my best friends both drink it and don't mind. (if I buy diet they won't touch it.) Well, that's enough for now. Hope I haven't bored any one. Sincerely Marshall " Mrv " Caley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Dear ,     It is important that you contact Child Find of Broward who will in turn connect you with the Early Intervention Program. If eligible, your daughter can recieve several interventions including speech, occupational, and physical therapies. In addition, we have professionals who assist with cognitive development and behavioral concerns. Many of us are very experienced working with the autistic population. In addition, once connected to early intervention, your child will automatically be "in the system" which will facilitate transition into educational settings. The # to call is . Feel free to contact me directly with any other questions. We also recommend contacting the CARD center. Hope this gets you started!!                                                    Charnam                                                   Early Intervention                                                  SpecialSBC@...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Hi all, I just wanted to say how happy I am to be part of this group. I look forward to getting to know you all, and even being able to vent from time to time. I am a respiratory therapist, working in a Neonatal intensive care unit in florida. I am curious as to perhaps how other medical professionals juggle work and fibromyalgia. Talk to ya all soon, sapphire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
