Good job Dave!

Have you thought about trying Glucophage XR and take it at night? It works for

reducing the high morning reading. Glucophage XR is a time released version.

You take it at dinner. Through 4-30-01 you can get a FREE months supply. You

will need to talk to your doctor and get a prescription for the Gluxophage XR.

***Yabut...wouldn't Dave have to start all that experimenting all over again

with the time release stuff??? Just curious.

Great job, Dave!

Yes, but I believe it would be lower in the morning.

No, I haven't. I have an appointment coming up in a week so I'll mention

that. I take 2250mg throughout the day now, but that would change to

4x500mg if I changed as it only comes in 500mg, right?

What was the URL for the coupon again Bill?

If I understand the action of Glucophage correctly, it builds to a level

in your body, and you maintain that level by taking the same pills.

That's why it is ineffective when folks who are prescribed it, take it

when they feel they need it, or want to eat more.

I think the time-release would act the same in maintaining a baseline of

protection.

Hi, Dave, thanks for that post. It was very reasonably thought out and well

put. And from that, newbies certainly aren't going to think that pizza is

fine for everyone! :-) Vicki (who wishes she had as nice numbers when she

has an occasional binge)

Thanks, I had to see what would happen, as all that talk about pizza....

Anyway, morning reading 108, so I'm happy. Maybe in 3 months I'll try

another..

My Pizza Experience & Deprivation

A Pox on all of you that have been talking about your pizza eating the

past couple of days!

I haven't had pizza in almost a year, but since my wife is not feeling

well I picked up a small size pizza, double cheese, with peppers &

onions.

I ate four (4) slices, but I didn't eat the outer crust (well maybe one

bite).

I took my evening glucophage, but -no- humulog insulin as I wanted a

good test.

Here are the results:

109 - pre dinner @ 5:17pm

129 - 30 minutes post dinner

127 - 60 minutes post dinner

119 - 90 minutes post dinner

124 - 2 hours post dinner

108 - 3 hours post dinner

Note that the " 124 " was elevated due to sneaking two sugar free

chocolate peanut butter cups.

All readings courtesy of my One Touch Ultra.

Now, what does this prove?? Nothing really, other than I feel I can eat

pizza now and then without worry or lasting damage.

I've got a birthday coming up next month and I'll most definitely have a

piece of regular cake.

My signature line indicates that I use glucophage, and I've recently

(two months) been using insulin to combat elevated morning readings that

I've had since contracting this disease. It's working, and I've actually

reduced the amount of basal needed. I do not use it to cover additional

food.

As most have tossed around, my regimen consists of what most would say

is moderate carbs, and it works for me for the results that I want. I

don't eat whole bags of chips anymore, nor full bags of jelly beans, as

I once did.

I feel that newbies to the disease need to curtail their carb intake,

and when stabilized, it is then possible to see what a person can

tolerate via testing. Some can do more than others depending on their

physical condition.

I think my psyche is tainted when it comes to deprivation, and that's

how it feels when everything good it seems is bad for us. I feel

deprived.

In our family there was a couple of depression era old timers, who were

very wealthy (1 mil +), but never spent a cent they didn't have to, and

always bought their clothes and Christmas gifts at flea markets and tag

sales, sat in the near dark all the time. They could have bought

anything that they wanted, had the best of new cars, but wouldn't do it,

and their money went to charity when they passed. (which is a good

thing)

What's that have to do with diabetes? Nothing, other than an indicator

of quality of life. I test all the time, learn what I can do with my

body, and that's my WOE, and I'm happy without feeling deprived.

If things change, then my WOE will change to adapt.
