Secondly, are you upset with a 121 in that it is too high or too low?
You truly need a new hobby.
I have had diabetes for 11 years and I have never had a glucose test. Why does you doctor feel that is necessary?View Thread

I could hear everything happening on either side of me.
A woman who seemed perfectly coherently was insisting she did not have diabetes. She collapsed on a city street with a BS of 480.
They called her family doctor who insisted he has regularly checked her for diabetes since she is obese. He swears she has never tested positive for diabetes.
How could she get that incredibly high reading if she is not diabetic?View Thread

I am required to take a flu shot. These very hot shot doctors repeatedly tell me the flu virus is dead and except for a sore are and a slight fever for some people, there is not other possible adverse reaction to a flu shot.
My DD has a public health masters degree and works in Africa with a ton of vaccine. She also insists there is nothing live in a flu shot to make anyone sick.View Thread


I was put on oral medications and they worked well for me. In February, my transplant lead doctor and my endocrinologist told me I need to have very, very good control and a low A1c going into the transplant. I was put on HumalinN. It was worked great for me.
The doctors said about 1/2 of the folks who have a transplant eventually are able to stop using insulin. That seems to match up with the folks in my support group. We all have cirrhosis, all are on insulin and a good number of them stop insulin in the months after transplant.View Thread

I am not even allowed to use little bottles of flavoring if they are alcohol based.

The doctor said to be especially careful of wine based dishes in restaurants.View Thread

I lost 53 pounds using Weight Watchers. It is my understanding that Weight Watchers and TOPS both have programs for children.
It is easier to lose weight with a planned out program such as Weight Watchers.
Good luck!View Thread

I was very surprised when I heard I would get a HepC positive liver in my transplant but it makes total sense. If I can take an infected liver and make a healthy liver available for a young person, I say give me the HepC positive liver.View Thread
