Guest guest Posted February 16, 1999 Report Share Posted February 16, 1999 Hi, Stormy, 700 is way too high; 28 is way too low. If your doctor hasn't advised you about this it sounds like you need to see someone else who is better informed about diabetes. Do this ASAP; too long at any of these counts and you're asking for big trouble! Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 1999 Report Share Posted February 16, 1999 Robin and Stormy and anyone else who's getting sore fingers: I test six times a day and really never have sore fingers. I use B-D ultra-fine II lancets and use fingers on one hand consecutively for one week then switch to other hand. I've been doing this for over a year now. I'm a medical transcriptionist and type for a living and believe me, I can't afford sore fingers, so believe me when I say THIS WORKS!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 1999 Report Share Posted February 16, 1999 PS: I also use a pen device called an " Auto Lancet " (this is the brand name, I think; at least that's what's printed on it). It has a dial that can be set from 1 to 5; 1 is the lightest and it works just fine for me. Doesn't hardly prick! Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 1999 Report Share Posted February 16, 1999 Welcome Stormy, So sorry you had to join us. Also very sorry the Dr.s took so long to recognize your problems. After having gestational diabetes you would think they would have tested you first thing. Hope you get good advise from now on. The people on this list are all trying to learn also and are very helpful. Please let me know if I can be of help to you. Spillman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 1999 Report Share Posted February 16, 1999 Hi Stormy My name is Gail. Like yourself I also had gestational diabetes with my three children. On my third pregnancy I was in the hospital for 2 1/2 mths until my son was born. My BG's were so high I was put on insulin. After my son was born the diabetes left. My doctor told me that give 5 or 10 years and it will return. He was right, I was diagnosed with type II in June of last year. I was having some problems long before that but was not tested. But my problems were small, for example, I kept getting yeast infections that would not go away even with drugs, tired a lot, no energy, I also experienced blurred vision, just small things. But I went back to my doctor and told him that I thought my diabetes was back. Sure enough it was. When he did a test it was 27.8mmol/l. I was put in the hospital right away and put on insulin. I am still on insulin twice a day. I keep my BG's under good control and I have no serious problems. Thank God. I really wish you well stormy, take care.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 1999 Report Share Posted February 19, 1999 Stormy. I quite agree with Susie!!! If readings and technique are OK, and all other factors may be excluded, Stormy, you should be monitored and treated carefully by specialists as this might then be a " brittle " DM, which certainly then need to better controlled.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 1999 Report Share Posted February 19, 1999 Hold a minute, Susie: I think you are mixing something up here concerning Stormy. She might be a case of " brittle " DM. Diabetes Insipidus is something quite different! - Yes, docs latin is often confusing. Diabetes means: Traverse Mellitus means: Sweet Diabetes Mellitus is our topic. Diabetes Insipidus is a condition concerning the kidneys, where the " antidiuretic hormone " is missing. As consequense your kidneys don't reabsorbe the water filtert, you pea " like hell " constantly till you are quite dehydrated, if not treated. Dangerous condition. But it has nothing to do with our " diabetes " . Oluf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 1999 Report Share Posted February 19, 1999 Stormy, you wrote: << ... if i don't fit the bill for diabetes then i don't know what is wrong with me. i will ask my dr again maybe he was wrong. i am not sure what you were trying to tell me. i just know that it hurt. >> Stormy, I surely didn't mean to hurt you. I am just a truck driver who was posting at 4-5 am after driving all night. The line between type 1 and type 2 is not clearly defined, as far as I can tell. Many diabetics fall into the " somewhere in between " range. It is a shame that your last doctor didn't identify your problems sooner, but your task now is to normalize your blood glucose readings. In your testing so far, are you coming up with a good list of the foods which give you the most trouble? We're all somewhat different, so that is the reason for frequent testing, especially at first - to figure out what works best for each one of us. In general, the " white stuff " seems to present the biggest problems for diabetics. I'm no good at fussing over things, and I also have no willpower, so I just study the carbohydrate content on the nutritional labels and don't bring into the house anything that is moderate-to-high in carbohydrates. Eating at regular times and eating several mini-meals rather than a few large ones and minimizing carbohydrate intake and increasing soluble and insoluble fiber intake and increasing your water consumption and taking supplements and exercising and weight loss may all help. (Although I have no idea if you or others need to lose weight ... that's just general info, because about 95 percent of type 2's are obese.) Some diabetics experience pancreas cell burnout from being placed on a class of drugs called sulfonylureas (which were, until recently, the only medications available for type 2 diabetics). Other diabetics lose pancreas function naturally, after several years of experiencing glucose spikes, with the result that their pancreas works overtime to churn out insulin to try to normalize your levels. I hope that you and your doctor do whatever is necess ary to get your readings into normal range as soon as possible - and that may include placing you on insulin. There are tests such as C-peptide that can help determine your insulin output. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabetes Insipidus is something quite different! ... >> I was writing not recalling Stormy's earlier post, Oluf. I see from her other comments that it was another doctor who claimed her glucose tolerance test was normal, and that test was four years ago. She has moved and has a new doctor now, who was sent her to a specialist. <sigh of relief ... > So I am hopeful Sormy will begin to see marked improvement in her glucose levels. In that post mentioning diseases which mimic diabetes (including diabetes insipidus), I guess it looked like I was suggesting that is what Stormy has. I think Stormy is a type 2 diabetic, moving into type 1 status. If I understand Stormy's scenario (and I probably don't, being on the road so much), she is getting readings ranging from 28 to 700, even with taking two different kinds of pills and testing herself four times a day. Whatever any diabetic's treatment plan is, with those numbers, the plan isn't working and I am hoping Stormy and her new specialist can come up with something very soon that better addresses her dangerously high and low readings. (I also think that Stormy's former doctor should have his fingers stomped on for neglecting her and her very serious health problems for so long.) Stormy, I don't know if this will feel like it has any relevance to the ordeal you have been going through for years, but having a lot of unexplained chronic symptoms has caused long-term depression for many of us who went undiagnosed for years. Also, wildly fluctuating blood glucose levels can keep your emotions on a roller-coaster ride. A doctor (just prior to diagnosis) suggested I was manic-depressive, I recall. It is entirely possible that your stormy emotional state as well as many physical complications may subside when you normalize your glucose levels.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 1999 Report Share Posted February 19, 1999 In a message dated 99-02-19 14:35:53 EST, you write: << I am in the process of trying to get the dr.'s to help me get my stomach stapled. >> Stormy: You indeed have suffered alot. Every time I think my problems are so hard to bear, I find someone else with more problems than me. I'm responding to you to give you some information. My wife was only 100 lbs over weight. She had tried EVERY diet made. She would lose her weight (drop from 250 to 145) and then it would start coming back on. Finally she went to a doctor and asked for a stomach staple. She was told the stomach would be fixed so it would only hold 3 ozs. The operation was a success but the results were bad. First of all she couldn't keep any thing down. She started carrying a glass around with her so she could throw up at any time. Any meat would not digest and most usually food (other than those being muched up by a blender) would result in the food being 'caught' in the top of her stomach, which blocked any more food going in. This caused great pain--enough to go to the ER for assistence. The blockage could only be relieved by throwing up or going back into the hospital for a scope (down the throat) to see what was wrong. She lost weight because she simply couldn't eat or keep food in her stomach. She finally got tired of the almost daily (hourly) throwing up and not to be able to hold anything down, that she went back in and have the surgery reversed. I said all of that to let you know of our experience. Just make sure you know what your getting into. Have the doctor explain it in detail to you. Find out how many of these type of surgeries he has done. I wish you the very best. God Bless. --Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been having trouble with my in-laws about my diabetes and we had just had a fight so I took it out on you. Please forgive me. I am always having to defend myself so I went on the defensive. The whole story. I have many things going on with me at the same time. Since I was 6 years old I have suffered from IBS. When I was 9 I started having problems with PTSD. At 15 I found out that I am also a manic-depressive with panic-anxiety add. I didn't understand why I had all of these problems. I didn't start getting large until I was 19. I started getting bigger and bigger. So I went back to my shrink (easier to spell) and she thought it was from all the abuse that I had suffered and the rape I had gone through. She said I was just building a wall of fat to protect myself. Then 2 weeks before I got married I found out that I was adopted. That was a real shocker. Any way in 1997 I found my biological father and in his family obesity runs all through. So does diabetes, mental problems, and some digestive problems. So I thought ok maybe this is part of the reason. Then in 1998 I found my biological mother. Obesity runs on that side of the family also. My mom was diabetic and had to have dyalisis. She lost the lower part of her leg in Oct. 98 then in Dec 98 she lost that whole leg. Dec 13 1998 she died from diabetes complications. In 1997 I weighed a whopping 459 pounds. Now I weigh in at 352.1 pounds. I am in the process of trying to get the dr.'s to help me get my stomach stapled. Hoping that will help all the way around. Just had to have test on intestines because they think that they found a mass. So I have been under alot of stress lately. NO EXCUSE for me to be rude to you. I have 3 kids that I have checked every 6 months for diabetes because I do not want them to have to go through what I have. Susie, again I apologize for the way I let loose on you. I know that you were only trying to help. I also don't think that I explained myself very well. You keep on trucking. I have always wanted to drive a truck but I don't think I could.
