Welcome back Ken

Howdy! I'm new in these parts

Hi Y'all! The Best Buy pancreas didn't work out and I find myself a

diabetic again (besides, I have all of those " I'm a diabetic, kiss

me " T-Shirts). I never missed a bunch of people in a forum before

and since I found a box of smore Pop-Tarts in the pantry I need

somebody to talk me out of eating them. I also need another good

recipe for Broccolli Beer.

The problem with posting from work is that I quit the forum while

under a high pressure situation there. They also switched my hours

so that I have to get up at 4 AM now. I didn't know that there was a

4 O'clock in the morning just like in the afternoon but I had heard

rumors. Glad to be back. BTW, I hit 110 the other morning after

breakfast. 131 this morning. Dammed Best Buy pancreas!

Absolutely GREAT seeing you back, Ken ! :-)

Yes, I also found that there is a 3 in the morning, just like in the

afternoon. I know because 3 AM is the time I've *finally* gotten to bed

and sleep for three nights in a row .... bleah. I'm not sure whether sugar

levels etc. are to blame for a nasty bout with insomnia I've been having ....

Hi Sheri!

You scared me so much I dropped a Pop-Tart and one of the dogs got

it. Now she wants to test her BG. :-) Like those strips are free.

Where did you get that name " Tangena Flare " ? I like it. Sounds like

either a sexy female singer or an exotic tropical fruit drink with

an umbrella in it. :-) Ooh, Enterprise is almost on! Yes, I'm a 49

year old Trekker. In the future they will probably give you a pill

for diabetes aand we can eat anything we want. I wonder if Pop-Tarts

will still be around? :-)

A 3 AM too. Pshaw!! Funny, I've been having trouble getting to sleep

for about a month also. It helps me to remember that by just lying

there you get 70% of the rest that you would get if you were

sleeping. I have more trivia if you need it. I got a whole 2 hours

sleep Sunday night. Sharp as a 6 month old lancing device the next

day. Don't you love that name? " Lancing Device " . I guess the

name " Hole Puncher " was taken. Thank God my Freestyle " Lancing

Device " doesn't even hurt.

I'm sorry Ken, I've been so busy keeping the old man alive I hardly even missed

you. Getting up at 4am might be tough but what will be tougher is the dts you

will get from missing prime time tv cause you will probably have to tuck

yourself in by 8pm. Save the pop-tarts for the bedtime snack. If they still

have L-tryptophan in them they will knock you out quickly.

HI Ken...I wrote a reply to your note...but I am reluctant to send it due to its

lack of diabetic content...so I'll just save it for now.:0)

LOL!! I can't tuck in at 8 PM. I can't!! *sob*. I've been getting by

on 5 hours of sleep for quite a while. I wonder what 4 hours will do?

Welcome back, Ken.

Glad to hear that your numbers are much better. You're doing great.

Keep up the good work and I'm glad you're back.

Thanks, Lynn. I'm posting some mysterious readings and would like

your opinion.

Lynn,

Maybe we should just average our two readings and we'll come out

fine. 126 apiece. :-)

NOT MUCH

take it from an incurrable insominaic. Lucky for me I can catnap several times

a day to make up for it

Well, well, well.....what an awesome idea! Let's do that every day

and my A1C will be at 6 in NO time! LOL

I just gotta get one of those A1C things. I feel like I have no

prestige without one.

I can sleep about 30 minutes on the bus to and from work. It helps.

Ken,

That's terrible. Your doctor should have sent you to a Diabetes Workshop and

an appointment with a dietician. You need to call his office and see if they

can refer you to one. I went and enjoyed it. It was very helpful.

Sheila

[Guest guest]

Ken,

You're on meds and you haven't had an A1C? How did your doctor

diagnose you? Just by a fasting glucose reading?

Lynn,

I had 3 major infections and blood poisoning and was not healing so

they sent me down the hall to the lab and they picked my finger. My

reading was 547. He put me on Glucotrol. In a week I was down to

150. He added Metformin (SP?) and I've been pretty steady in the 110

to 140 range. Everything I've learned has been on the web and from

you people and a few booklets. No dietary advice, nothing. I'm doing

okay though. I think.

Do you eat out a lot?

Which tools are these? Uh, they want you to bring your meter. They give

a lot of handouts and I also got a notebook with information about diabetes

when I saw the nurse and dietician. These were separate from the Workshop

itself.

Love that name.

OH NO not a dietician. They want you to clean your cupboard out. There goes

the supply of pop-tarts. A lady my daughter works with who is diabetic ended up

in the hospital with ketosis and the dietician sent her family home with orders

to empty out the cupboards. It took them a whole day to clean out all the NO-NO

foods so the lady could be sent home. They have moved in with her to keep her

on program. Who out there wants to volunteer to move in with Ken and keep him

out of the pop-tarts and coke?

Ooh, Sheila,

Sounds expensive. If I get into a diabetes workshop do I have to

bring my own tools? :-)
