Guest guest Posted August 24, 1999 Report Share Posted August 24, 1999 Do ya'll think this is a symptom of ACM??? The head bobble deal. Maybe this is what is wrong with the cranial cervical junction.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 ---Am glad you are taking the initiative to find a doctor that can help you. A diabetic dr. would be the best choice but if you have ins. that requires a referral you may need to find a family dr first in order to get that. Yes, I have had bad days. When I was first diagnosed, I almost passed out at the casino. It was the nurse there that told me to get checked for diabetes. I was much better after I drank the orange juice she gave me. My sugar was low but I do not know what it was because she did not have a tester available. I had not eaten that entire day and just played the slots!!! having a blast until everything started to go black. When I was checked that week at my dr. I was over 200 on the fasting.

When you all were first diagnosed, did you have more bad days than good? I'm sure it's different for each person. I went from feeling bad yesterday to being very sick and in the hospital last night. Today I felt better but now I'm feeling bad again (not as bad as last night). I didn't think I should feel bad that often. I am going to look for a new Dr tomorrow as my PCP won't treat my diabetes. He led me to believe it was no big deal. I hope a new Dr will be able to help me with this.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 Thank you all for your patience with me. I know I have a lot to learn and I don't know where to start so I'm just asking questions as they come to me. I appreciate your support.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Madge: The Joslin Diabetes Center guidelines show that two hour post prandials < 180 are acceptable for diabetics. For non-diabetics, their two hour post prandial guidline is < 140. Please see the following URL: http://www.joslin.org/education/library/wbggoal.html These guidelines are constantly being reevaluated. Several months ago, their two hour post prandial guideline for diabetics was < 160 but they raised that to 180 recently. It sounds like your friend may be in the " pre diabetic " , or impaired glucose tolerance, stage. It seems to me that her doctor is treating her very conservatively. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 ---I think I had it done last month? I forget. So I guess it would be November if done in August. I go back in Oct for a check up. I was 8.5 (around there anyway!) the last time which was down from a 10 something from the time before that so it is moving downward!!!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 HI Eunice, What I was talking about was the fact that some Doctors still think it's ok for a diabetic to have high bs's, when in fact it shouldn't be that way at all. We as diabetics have to settle for high numbers once in a while, it's par for the course. But for a Doc to tell a patient that a reading of 180 is ok all the time is wrong. Sometimes it's the best we can do, I understand that, but Doctors need to be honest about what it's doing to our bodies. We are the ones that have to deal with the complications when they set in, not them. As far as it being easier for some and not for others, I've never been in good control, and probably never will be. But I still strive for good numbers. It's a constant battle that I'm willing to fight and will continue fighting. Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thank you Akiba! Trista Question Good morning all.I have been in pain the last few days, so haven't been posting much. My arms and hands are killing me. I can hardly use my hands for anything. They ache and feel "cramped". This morning I woke up to a painful lump on my left forearm. It feels about the size of a quarter and very sore. I pushed on it and it seemed to "pop" back into place. I can still feel it, but it's not as big anymore. Anyone experience this? Is it a tendon, a muscle? I haven't done anything to injure my arm. Could it be MS related or something else? Go figure, I actually have a sx that a Dr. can "see" and it's the day before Thanksgiving, so I can't go in. No more typing for me. These stinking hands just won't work.
