Working on the assumption that if you don't ask you don't get I asked what is the cover for diabetics. the man pulled a face asked type 1 or type 2 and are you on medication. The expression on his face and tone in his voice told me all I needed to know.

It also isn't helped by my husbands osteoarthritis, but I know where I can get health cover if I want it and it's not from the British Under Pant Association! Perhaps I was swayed a little too much by the discount?:cry:]]> http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/57/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/57/ Tue, 11 Sep 2007 16:28:02 -0700 BestBuddy http://www.diabetes.org.uk/About_us/News_Landing_Page/New-insulin-capsule-research/ As somone how is injecting insulin 4 times a day, the prospect of taking insulin as a pill is a holy grail. The good news - Whoohoo, Insulin in a pill! The bad news - Testing the insulin pill will take a few years :(]]> http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/51/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/51/ Wed, 05 Sep 2007 09:51:59 -0700 philmcd http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/47/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/47/ Tue, 21 Aug 2007 15:19:31 -0700 C.W
Three of the ones I have heard are (1) pickles and sauces are safe as they are savoury. I have taken to reading food labels and the vast majority contain at least some sugar, sweet pickle and tomato sauce are the worst culprits.(2) You can't eat any fruit at all as it is sweet and very sugary. Hmm, that one puts paid to the five a day thing with fruit and vege...(3)Baked beans are OK as they are a vegetable. This last one was from a dietician. I personally buy lower salt and sugar beans, but still have to watch out for the carbs too.

I think if we listened to all the myths, we'd be malnourished as well as diabetic!:dinner::dinner:]]> http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/52/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/52/ Wed, 05 Sep 2007 11:52:31 -0700 C.W http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/50/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/50/ Sat, 01 Sep 2007 19:57:09 -0700 Dray http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6972914.stm]]> http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/49/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/49/ Fri, 31 Aug 2007 19:03:44 -0700 mehkwr
Diabetes is all in my family and my mother had a kidney transplant 8 years ago because of this disease. My mom, dad and dad's sister are diabetic as were my grandfather and great-grandmother. I've always known it was only a matter of time until I became diabetic but when I actually heard the words from my doctor I just cried. Hearing the words "You are Diabetic" was a major blow and I'm still having a hard time realizing that this is happening to me.

Luckily I have my Mom to help guide me and now I have ya'll!! I look forward to many, many discussions and I'm so glad that this site is here so we can all support each other even though we are literally oceans apart!

God Bless each of you!

I have noticed that if I drink coffee, a couple of hours later my blood sugar levels are significantly elevated.
I don't drink my coffee with milk or cream, so the carbs and calories are pretty low.

Does caffeine make your blood sugar levels high in and of itself?]]> http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/28/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/28/ Mon, 30 Apr 2007 13:08:15 -0700 BestBuddy http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/45/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/45/ Fri, 10 Aug 2007 14:13:23 -0700 C.W
If you go on to the OU web site, you are looking for course number SK120 and it is called Diabetes care. Hopefully some of us may meet up on the course?]]> http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/42/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/42/ Sat, 04 Aug 2007 16:30:45 -0700 Caroline W http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/15/ http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/15/ Wed, 03 Jan 2007 13:03:47 -0800 Minty
I am 30 and lead a reasonably active life with a low fat diet (most of the time). But I am worried that I may be at risk myself, especially since my uncle on the same side as my family ad my grandfather. Any articles I can read on heredity of this sort of illness?

thnx
