Miss_Blue

Why are you miss blue, are you liking the blues music? I messaged u because u r type 2 like me and have been around since 2008 -- i don't take any meds I want low glucose numbers with carb control and some exercise, I don't know if you can help in some way but I saw you had low A1C, and have been doing things since 2008. Anyway, I saw you made a statistic joke, and lately statistics is something I've been studying (analysis of variance, etc). Write me if you feel like it! I live in California.

:D Just got back from the doctor - newest A1c is 5.8!!! I am so pumped right now! Thanks to everyone here - you are literally lifesavers! (of course the doc is still clueless as he remarked how...

Shortly after when I was Dxed I was eating differently than I am now. I was eating a fair amount of complex carbs in the way of sandwich rounds, LC tortilla, etc. I managed to get my A1C under 5...

Yesterday I had my first BG of less then 100 (98) since being diagnosed! It was a bit of a surprise, but very welcome. I am still struggling and learning a lot from this group.

I constantly get the " a lady I work with keeps fun size candy bars at her desk and she is diabetic" or "I heard that ____ will cure diabetes". I used to try and explain but I gave that up. The...

In my experience, this is a resounding 'YES, it does'. All of your lipids could be in flux as the weight decreases, and all if them should stabilize once the weight is lost.

My latest numbers are in and my A1c is holding at 5.2%. The big mover on this visit was HDL going from 46 to 58, while LDL went from 83 to 97. On January 1 I will celebrate my one year anniversary...

I had false hypos when first Dxed and bringing my BG level back to normal but this is the opposite problem now. It happened twice this weekend, we were out of town at my grand daughters 1st b-day...

Henry Wadsworth Longtoe sound better?

I agree that the alcohol may be the problem for two reasons. First every time you drink right now, your liver will convert some of it to triglycerides. Second, even if you stopped drinking...

Alcohol is after all a carb source so you may have found the culprit!

Have you been losing weight? Weight loss can cause lipids to increase. Sent from my iPhone

A couple of months ago my diabetic husband ordered diet Pepsi, and the waitress mixed it up with our granddaughter's Pepsi. Luckily, DH had only taken a couple of sips before realizing it. ...

Reactive hypoglycemia is a funny beast, being a retired hypo myself I have been through all of the symptoms you speak of. What happened to me and other former hypoG people is like your BG climbing...

My take on it is that docs are wrong to consider only A1c and fastings levels - absolutely unequivocally wrong. The first place this metabolic issue raises its ugly head is postprandial. You can...
