I have been diabetic 2 for close to 9 years now. As the years go by, I notice that even at 4.9 mg I feel chest pains; though I am not sure if it is a gastro pain or a heart pain. And so, I would rather be a bit high bg as the only side effect is sleepiness and fatigue. One of my...

Thank you ickihun. At least each year doctors progress in diabetes treatment. You might take a look at WHO as the global needs.

Hi HohnJoe13, it is very helpful to get information here. I just wonder whether the diabetic "epidemic" which has never been so widespread on the globe is well treated.. And though some countries have the resources to help people, others do not. I just thought that governments could open up...

OK - nutrition is very important and I see that we now have Dr. Unwin, on the board for advice.

As diabetes is an "epidemic" in the past few years, and there are so many aspects needed to control it, I sometimes wonder why we don't have diabetes clinics where patients can visit more frequently and diabetes specialists can monitor the right treatment and prevent complications.

I was rather surprised that starvation was used before Banting and Best for bg control. It certainly seemed risky: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3062586/

Wishing you the best of care you get for Issabella. It's so sad when animals get serious illnesses. The insulin treatment must require delicate work. As for the money, is it possible to compare Vet clinics? When our cats had to be treated our neighbour suggested to go to the Vet hospital...

Greetings from the Great White North. When I was a hippie at college I used marijuana with my friends, and I also felt hungry, friendly (LOL), and sleepy. Eventually i dropped it because there was a rancid smell to it. At the present years now, I really wish morphine became legally OTC. Enjoy.

Joe Jackson: around that time: Hope you get it.

Hi Daisy1, Yes I have read many clinical trial journals on this topic. I can't remember how high is too high, and I have read journals which say for seniors it is more important to have high bg's than low, especially as seniors may be unaware of hypos. My numbers are increasing after 8 yrs...

I love this diabetic otter. Many animals get diabetes.

I'm sorry he sufferred so much. I hope he improves soon. You are a very kind person and probably a good nurse.

Hi Janny, I had the same problem some months ago, and I thought it was due to diabetes edema. It was actually due to a tight fitting shoe. Because I resist going to my doctor unless it is very serious,, I used a tight elastic and tried not to walk on it. In about 2 weeks I recovered...

Do you think that choline might prevent diabetes in psychiatric drugs?

Hi. I was diagnosed as bipolar about 30 years ago. At t;hat time my meds were preceded by benzos, and then I was put on the miracle drug lithium. Nevertheless I am sceptical about the possibility of benzo withdrawal simulating bipolar. I have read a lot of medical books on lithium, and it...

Thank you Lamont for the experience and information. Diabetes is so complex.

Hi folks, For you who have increased gliclazide from 80 to 120mg on account of symptoms of hyperglycemia and fatigue, with increased bg numbers, something strange has happened to me. Something so strange that I think only a pharamacologist would understand: I cut my gliclazide dose by 40mg in...

I suspected that Leslie. Eating too much before going to bed may increase the blood sugar in the morning. However, eating a little is risky: it may be better to have hyperglycemia than "dead in bed" at night if you have a hypo but unaware of it. I do wish Google Med. would invent a diabetes...

Hi LingLoud, I wish you luck with the author doctor. Frankly, I don't know the cause of depression in diabetes-- whether it is bilological or just the daily vigilance and side effects. It does not help that I have had depression for most of my life either, but at least my drugs have helped...
