Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi Everyone, I'm sorry it has been a long while since I have posted. I have been sick and busy. However I do read all of your posts and can't wait till I feel up to getting back into the swing of the Group. I do have a question. In reading posts, I have read conversations between Ron and Sally in regards to her BG levels and treatment. In a post from yesterday, Sally had wrote about how much Humalog she is currently taking and they are very very high amounts. My dietician and my Endocrinologist have both recently told me that it isn't good to take so much insulin that it begins to damage our kidney's. So politely I posted this to Sally in response to one of her posts to Ron. In which Ron intercepted the post and has denied it being posted publicly. He says I need something to back up what I have stated. Other than the fact that my dr is the one who told me this and he has been in practice for over 30 yrs, that is all I have. Ron seems to have the DSM group so guarded that I don't see how you can personally email anyone in the group if you can't post it personally. Further more I have no clue what Ron's credentials are for advising everyone how to treat their diabetes. I might be way out of line here. But recently I have gone to the DSM website and there I find nothing about his credentials. Does anyone know? I have requested this information from him. It just concerned me when he is guiding this woman through treating her diabetes with no concern spoken about the amounts of Humalog she is taking. Someone please she some light on this for me? Thank you, Tommie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Last evening I was looking through Mendosa's site and he has done an article about Ron Sebol. You can read it at http://www.mendosa.com/sebol.htm If you want a real trip, see Mr. Mendosa's three articles about *his* life, Youth, Radical and Mature years! Lots to read on this website.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Righto...and the picture is one I took of Ron when I met him this time last year on my trip to the east coast. The previous picture of Ron on Mendosa's site was so bad that I figured I could do better (it looked like a mug shot). . I think I did. Vicki Re: Just Curious > > >> >> Hi, Tommie..
