Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi Pam. glad you are using a meter that works for you. Now that you have that meter, use it smile. You'd be surprised at how often your body is wrong at indicating to you sugar lows or highs. I.E I never let my body tell me if I am low or high, it is not a blood meter smile. I use the blood meter to let it tel me if I am low or high. I realize you can feel physical symptoms at times but you'd really be surprised at how often you are wrong if you get checked when you feel high or low. Regards, My input Hello, My name is Pm. I have been type II for a number of years and didn't know it for awhile before I past out several times, etc. I tried several oral medications but am now just taking Actos and Glucatrol when I need it. I think I take care of this disease quite well. I can tell when my sugar begins to drop low because I will became weak and shaky and know when it is hi because I start itching and feel pretty bad too! I love my new meter Accucheck with Voicemate. It agree with the listener who that was kind enough to write me back and tell me she likes it too! I don't think I'd go back. Lifescan served me well for many years but I got tired of the thing saying not enough blood and this one is much easier to set, etc. Hope I have helped some one! Have a very nice day and may God bless all of you and bring you peace that passes all understanding and may his glorious light shine upon you and may He give you peace!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 That is true, about not trusting your body to tell you symptoms. But let me tell you what happened to me as a symptom. It was very strange. I am a total with prostetic eyes-due to the diaabetes-but the other day I went into a low of 48 and I was " seeing " flash lights! It happened twice in te last week. (I was doing a whole lot more walking thatn normal, so he lows came.) I fugure the optic nerve must have been irrateted and put out those flashes. Gave me the creeps! seen aoub t Re: My input Hi Pam. glad you are using a meter that works for you. Now that you have that meter, use it smile.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I also am a type two diabetic and was diagnosed about eight years ago. I have been taking glucovance for about the last two years. I only take a half of a pill. I have had many episodes of low bs and I went to the doctor yesterday and told him that I have trouble taking glucovance. He said that it is very potent and many people have trouble taking it. He changed my medication to glucovauge. I took a pill this morning and have had no problems with it.
