Very well written, dear Carol.

God’s power is infinite.  All it takes is a little mustard seed amount
of faith and prayer to do more good than all the money that Bill Gate’s
has at his disposal.  

No amount of money can bring back even one of the thousands of lives
that were lost because of that asian tsunami. However, one word from our
Lord and Savior can do that and much more.  May we continue to pray to
Him, in Christ’s holy name.

There is a new opportunity to help out  your Diabetes.

It controls blood sugar, lowers triglycerides about 50% takes care of
the HDH and HDL.  Amaze your doctor and show him how you can control
this disease without his nostrums and pills.
This product is a lot cheaper than Insulin and pills and is being

Question about hypothyroidism

After some qonfusion about the state of my health, I have found I have
both htpothyroidism and diabetes, Anyone else, I am interested in what
meds you might be taking and what diet and therapies have been
suggested.                               I am losing my hair and having
excessive dry skin problems, which i am taking steps to correct. Doc
says both things are due to the hypothyroidism, This is ths second time
in my life I will have lost my hair due to a thyroid problem. (Good
thing the wig shop has been having a half price sale! I bought 6!) I am
actually going radical this week, to a 1/2 buzz cut on my hair … tired
of finding it all over the place. I have some other symptomatic things
and they are not bad, just lumped all together they are annoying. I had
long suspected I had more than diabetes and could never get any one to
agree to test me for it, since like 1988. when that day it wasn’t
apparent, and my levels were not bad ….   If anyone is having this
kind of problem I sure would like to talk about this and how you are
handling both things and what meds you are taking.

Can flu and cold medication rise blood sugar ONLY in people with diabetes?

Hi

My 17 year old son has been sick with a very bad flu for 10 days. He
had a blood test yesterday morning to test for mono. Dr. called today
to say that he doesn’t have mono but elevated blood sugar (160). He
will test again tomorrow morning on empty stomach. My son was tested a
couple of months ago and had no sign of high blood sugar (and urine).
But the doctor said that doesn’t mean he can’t get it now.

I am very worried as expected. How likely is it that he has diabetes?
He has been using heavy doses of Nyquil and other cold medications.
Yesterday morning before going for the test he had two large cups of
tea with lots of sugar to clear his throat. His diet has been totally
off the past couple of weeks, very little food, and a lot of sugary
drinks. Could the combination of these factors risen his blood sugar?

I know I will find out tomorrow morning, but I don’t know how to deal
with the anxiety and fear until then. I am trying to tell myself that
there are other reasons for this temporary rise in blood sugar. Am I
fooling myself?

Thanks for your honest answers.

Suggestions or help

I’ve been running high bg’s for about 6 months now and I don’t know what to
do about it.
  I’ve tried almost everything I can think of.  I exercise 5 to 6 days a
week and have a very
good workout program.  My A1C is about 8.5  up from 5.7, 6 months ago. I
increased my meds the last time i saw my doc but have since lost my
insurance coverage. I can barely afford my meds now
and have not been able to see my doc.  My sugars usually about 180 – 200 in
the morning. I  eat low to zero carb breakfasts.  I go to the gym after a
snack and follow that with lunch typically 15-30 carbs. my sugar will go
down to about 160 at this point then after a zero to 10 carb dinner.. its
back up to 180 -200 sometimes strange spikes of 240- 300..  and the next
morning its the same thing..  I’ve tried changing my diet around but adding
more carbs in the morning really causes huge spikes.  Then I tried switching
my lunch to before my workout. that had the same impact. I feel like there
is nothing I can do. I can’t afford insurance, my meds don’t seem to be
strong enough, Exercising 1 hour each day isn’t giving me the benefits i
would have hoped. I’m T2 -5’10 140 lbs…slender guy 22 yrs old. Funny thing
is like 1 day outta the month all the sudden my sugar will be 60 and i’ll
have to eat a snack quickly or a half glass of orange juice to stop the cold
shakes and get back up to a safer number.  and it will sky rocket back up
from that. I dunno how to balance all of this.  All i hear is different
opinions and reasons why everything is bad, exercise causes liver dump sugar
goes up, protein gets turned into sugars as well and causes increase in bg..
its like I can’t eat, can’t exercise.. im already thin can’t lose anymore
weight.  So many people post on here about their low A1c’s, its so good to
hear, I hope i can get to that point some time and feel healthier. Right now
i feel like im going to be blind in the next 6 months or have a heart
attack.  uuuhhh I don’t know…. more exercise ? I almost feel like its to
hard on my body as it is. Less carbs ? anyless and i wouldn’t be eating any
carbs.. and im under the impression that is unhealthy as well and could
cause more problems.   anyone else in the same boat ? Alot of folks seemed
to think i was type 1 and when i brought this up w/ the docs they came back
w/ an affirmative type 2 answer. oh and my meds are Avandamet and Amaryl.
When i upped my meds i also changed from avandia to avandamet and for about
a week my numbers were great under my routine, but from then its been how
ive explained.. ayayaya

Heme iron / meat / heart disease

<<snip>>
middle-aged women with a relatively high haem iron intake have an increased
risk of CHD
<<snip>>

Eur Heart J. 2004 Nov 30; [Epub ahead of print] Related Articles, Links  

Dietary haem iron and coronary heart disease in women.

van der A DL, Peeters PH, Grobbee DE, Marx JJ, van der Schouw YT.

Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center
Utrecht, HP Str.6.131, PO Box 85500, 3508 GA Utrecht, The Netherlands.

AIMS: A role for iron in the risk of ischaemic heart disease has been supported
by in vitro and in vivo studies. We investigated whether dietary haem iron
intake is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in a large
population-based cohort of middle-aged women. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used data
of 16 136 women aged 49-70 years at recruitment between 1993 and 1997.
Follow-up was complete until 1 January 2000 and 252 newly diagnosed CHD cases
were documented. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to estimate hazard
ratios of CHD for quartiles of haem iron intake, adjusted for cardiovascular
and nutritional risk factors. We stratified by the presence of additional
cardiovascular risk factors, menstrual periods, and antioxidant intake to
investigate the possibility of effect modification. High dietary haem iron
intake was associated with a 65% increase in CHD risk [hazard ratio (HR)=1.65;
95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-2.53], after adjustment for cardiovascular
and nutritional risk factors. This risk was not modified by additional risk
factors, menstruation, or antioxidant intake. CONCLUSION: The results indicate
that middle-aged women with a relatively high haem iron intake have an
increased risk of CHD.

She robbed me and my child , took money from personal savings , left
us
with our debts and went out Israel.

got
three injection of insulin per day . After the endured stress I find
myself in hospital with diagnosis : diabetic ketoacidosis
(hiperlipidemia).
I am 65% Physicaly Inable.

In situation , I found myself , I was never. We have no relatives and
friends in Israel.

I shall struggle for our with my child surviving till the last breth.
But at present moment I am not imagining how I and my child
can go out of this financial bankruptcy.

My money that I get from Bituah Leumi were cut to 1236 shekels
for month.Now it’s even not enough to buy food and pay taxes.
Because of my Physical inability I can not work.
My son that is going to be an Israely soldier in a year can not be
hungry. We have nothing to pay for a room and us will expose on
street.
