We have never been on a regular schedule for eating. But we need to be to follow the sliding scale set up by the medical people. I need a way please to decide how much insulin to give for some random amount of carbs in grams. Some times 10 units after a meal or an eating period for Jennifer...

Seems like this type of food should fit well into the diet of a diabetic. It should serve our gut biomes well also. I'd welcome other suggestions and also which cookbooks are popular among conscious eaters. Thanks for your time.po Ron

I bought a lancet device @walmart the other day because we keep misplacing them temporarily. Looking thru the instructions I noticed a small section on alternate testing sites. Jennifer has only ever used the fingertips and they are getting pretty worn. Someone told her to only do it there so...

Thank you Daibll, I appreciate your help. Ron

Thank you Sid. That was my first archtop, an Ibanez PM100. Don't know how much guitar lore is allowed. Maybe we can hook up via private msg if they have that feature here. I understand about specifics. Got that carb/fat/calorie book on the way. That's a good place to begin. I'd like to know...

I understand the problems in trying to nail things down to a value or worse, a constant value so I appreciate any input I can get. I will obtain a copy of the book you mention. That should be some help in deciding if I should be concerned or not. Thank you for taking the time to help. Ron

There is probably a page for this kind thing. My wife is insulin dependent and brittle like crazy. I have been asked to oversee her meds practices. If she is too low or too high mistakes are very dangerous. We have had diabetes since `74 but Jennifer being a nurse took care of that herself up...

Thank you Freema, I appreciate your thoughts. I realize how difficult it is to separate wishful thinking from fact or worse intentionally misleading or partially ture statements in this field. Here in New Mexico capsaisin and it's parent plant chili, are almost a daily part of our diet. But I...

While I am aware of there being problems with cellular metabolism I don't yet know much of the story. I have been encouraging my wife to walk with me when her glucose readings are high. This is frequent and the number swings can be the poster child for brittle. Try 975 on the ER's equipment...

How many times would be enough? I must have clicked the confirm membership thing about 5 times. I have already made several posts. Ron

How much will a 10 gram Glucerna bar raise the glucose levels of an average person? Ron

We discovered our diabetes in 1973. My wife is not much of an internet person but I sure could use some help in some areas of management of her meds. I already know I'm not getting a Dr.s advice. I'd prefer deescriptions of things others may have done in a similar situations. If this or...
