Hi I am not being sarcastic
but
reading some of the posts here and some of the readings they take after eating carb meals I doubt very much if some of the posters have much of a problem with diabetes
one person wrote he had a hambuger with a handfull of chips and some beans and his BS reading only went up to 6.8
If I had that sort of reading after eating a handfull of chips and beans I would be ecstatic
My reading after eating a handfull of chips and a portion of beans would have taken my BS to 14 or 15 and that I may add is with taking 3000mg of metformin a day and 30mg of pioglitazone
It seems to me most of the posters on here do not have much of a problem with producing insulin and their diabetic problems are only very minor or none existent
quite lot of posters say they have HBA1C readings of 5.3 5.7 etc ,I would be doing very well to keep mine down to the low seven's
And that I may add is with eating animals fish included

I suppose its all to do with age as well the older you get the less insulin your pancreas makes so I have come to the conclusion most of the posters on here are in their 40y's or 50y's thats why they don,t have much of a problem
the older you are the more difficult it is to control your BS
I suppose there comes a time when the tablets don't do their job anymore and maybe it's time to go on insulin? who knows?
 
I don't suppose that it has occurred to you that the members on here have low bg numbers because they have taken control of their diabetes and are holding those numbers by good diet etc.
 
Hey Sue babe. Sock it to 'em. You sure know what you are talking about here, more than some I reckon.

I doubt it I will stick to the theory that most posters on here are in their 30y's 40y's or 50y's wait till they hit 60 then it will be avery different ball game
It's easier to control whe you are the above years not so easy when when you hit 60 or older when your metabolism slows down
Diabetes is an immune system related disease as you get older you lose a lot of your immunity and aquire a collection of age related diseases heart disease,cancers etc etc
 
Hey percy. You for real. Sue and her pals knowes more about diabetes than you are ever likely too with your attitude. This place is a gem, you won't find anywhere better ? There's loads of people on here with good numbers well in the 60's and 70's !! They are all well controlled and real fit.
You need to get out more and check out the stories on this site. You ain't been here five minutes and you think you know it all ? Get real man, look around instead of spouting rubbish.

D.
 
Do they call you dipstick because you really are a dipstick?
if you have something sensible to say the say it otherwise dipstick it would be wise to say nothing
If you cannot post a sensible comment yourself then don't criticize other posters comments because it's obvious yoy have no sensible commnets to make at all
and if posters on this forum can't take criticism or other posters point of view then its not worth posting in this forum at all so this will be my last post

Having had diabetes for the last 20 years I feel I do know something about the subject
If you want to disagree with me about the comment I have made that's ok I will acept criticism that's what a forum is for it is to ask questions find answers and make your own comments

I suppose thats one reason I like to look at the comments on these diabetes forums but not to post on them because I always find when you post a comment you have imbeciles like dipstick who have nothing of any importance to add to a debate

it's obvious to me now that the person you are speaking up for is a moderator and you all have a nice little clique going on where you all share the same views so I would'nt want to spoil that so bye bye this is percy signing off you won,t hear from me again I promise
maybe you can get dipstick to post something sensible for once or would that be asking to much of him
hmmmmmmm ! I wonder
cheers
 
Hey percy with a small p. You might have had diabetes for 20 years but you 'aint learned nothing. You are good at bluster I'll give you that. Lots of words mean nothing here man. It's experience and intellect that count. You a forum junkie then ? What's your others, fish world. plumbers paradise ?
You know nothing about Diabetes and you are just making it up as you go along. You are too blind to see the truth. You can stay if you want. I've seen enough of you for tonight. Places to go and people to see. Don't suppose you know much about that ?
BTW Dipstick is not going to be very pleased when he hears what you are saying about him.
night night
Dipsticky

What you said about the mods on here just goes to show you are a plant percy. One that is going to wither and disappear from here, you have nothing to offer here. You are too blinkered man. You could have a great life if you listen to the people on here. Sad. :(
 
good evening once again dipstick I wasn't going to post again but I felt I must reply to your comments
you are obviously very inmature and have a lot to learn about this disease diabetes and of life as a whole
you obviously have not lived very long and as a consequence have very little experience of life in general
you can't see further then the end of your nose
you again obviously do not have thing constructive to say on this dreadful disease I doubt very much that you have the intelect to say or post anything sensible about diabetes

as is usual in these forums as in clubs etc they are run as a clique and have their usual collection of mouthpieces ?
are you a spokesperson for this moderator called sue? why do you call my post rubbish?

wait till you get a lot older you may feel fine now you may even think you have beaten this disease ?
you have diabetes and you have it all to come how old are you 30 ,40? you may be controlling it by diet now even controlling it by by meds but when you get older you will find none of these methods will help you
I feel very sorry for you , you are obviously very ignorant and rely on this forum for a crutch?
perhaps you get a kick about talking other people down?

Anyway thats all I have to say on the matter its been an eventful night and I have not learnt anything new about diabetes from this forum

I probably never will learn anything from this forum as long as they have nerds like you posting
If you make comments to all new posters on this forum as you have done to me you will find you will not have anyone left to post except the CLIQUE and of course nerds like yourself

bye bye enjoy YOUR forum and remember you have not beaten this disease AND you have it all to come
by the way is that your name DIPSTICK? I must say it is very very suitable ?
enjoy yourself but I doubt very much if any sensible diabetic will be reading your posts??????
 
Oh dear.

I wasn't around when this was going on. Pity.

Dipsticky your comments towards this member were rather inflamatory to say the least. You have received a warning as to your conduct.

However, Percy. I don't think your comments were helping the situation either.

I take particular exception to your comments regarding the Senior Moderator, Sue and the inference that there is some sort of clique on here. That is outrageous and a travesty of the facts.

This forum is the best vehicle for all Diabetics to learn about the condition and also to get help and advice from the more experienced members. Age in itself is no barrier to having a surfeit of experience so anyone who thinks because they are older knows better needs to think again.
A young wise head can sometimes be far better than an old but really one sided and partisan one.

Percy, if you post on here again you are welcome, but please do not criticise any moderators without good cause. The scattergun approach is inflammatory and may also get you a warning or a ban. On this occasion I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Just for the record, I am 61 this month and my Diabetes is very well controlled. Daily Bg levels are usually around the 5's.

So what Dipsticky was saying about oldies acheiving tight control is true. There are also members on here who have the same and sometimes better numbers as me - they are also a lot older than me. You do seem to have a very restricted view of what can be achieved.

You could have a much better life if you would only take heed of the advice given here.

One other thing is that your profile does not show if you are a low carber or not ? If you aren't then you should not post here. Again, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Only once mind. !!
 
Well said Ken.
Chips on shoulders ought to be item no. 1 on the restricted carb agenda!!!!

I've got to agree with Ken, if you look through the LC forum you'll find many on either diet only or limited medications. The quote shows that Kentishman at 86 must be one of our oldest members, and after 39 years of being a T2 is not on insulin or suffering from complications.

I have been a Type2 Dibetic for 39 years and right from the beginning I found that carbohydrate was the enemy. dDespite medical advice I have always eaten as little carbohydrate as possible. 39 years on and at the age of 86 I have no Diabetic complications.I don't know what my readings are as I have stopped testing.There is nothing I can do about my readings and an annual HBA1C seems to be all I get. Carbohydrate mught be fine for Type1 but no Insulin, no carbohydrate
