Discussion of diabetes management in day to day life

I have been a type 1 diabetic since 1958. Health is reasonably good
and hba1 at last chack was 7.1
Insulin is currently Novorapid 3 times a day and Levemir 2 times a
day.
I saw the diabetic nurse for routine check-up  yesterday and the
results of a blood test taken a month ago were OK except for one
thing (which I have never heard of before).
She referred to Creatinine and said my count was 130 – when I asked
what this was about she referred to the kidney function, and said the
normal count was 80.
I have now read several articles about this e.g., on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatinine
(as I say, I have never even heard of this before), and it appears
this is a problem with diabetes that can have serious consequences.
The article doesn’t say the normal count is 80 as the nurse said,
but 60-110 ?mol/L in a man,
Furthermore, I also read that it is lower in vegetarians. As I have
been vegetarian since 1978, I would have thought my count would
therefore, definitely be lower than 130.

I have to do a urine specimen and return it to the surgery next week
for more tests.

Is the situation I have described above anything/something to be
very  concerned about?

Thanks

David

I thought that issue was settled years ago.  I hope some one with
better writing skills than me will write a clear explanation of an
obvious thing.

The standardization of system should have been settled like it
is in most industries.

You remove part of the sample in a centrifuge and the
concentration of blood sugar will be higher in what remains.

The meter can generate any number to display. You
have to know what the meter number means..

"These data indicate that 6 months after LGBS there were significant
improvements in many cardiovascular and metabolic risk markers.
However, VAT reduction was most strongly associated with reductions in
insulin resistance. Body weight loss was not associated with markers
of improved insulin sensitivity."

It remains much smarter to simply and freely choose to eat less, down
to the right amount in order to lose the VAT and possibly curing the
type-2 diabetes:

May dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a blessedly wonderful
2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus Christ as our Messiah,
the Son of Man …

… by being hungrier:

Hunger is wonderful ! ! !

It’s how we know the answer to the question "What does Jesus
want?" (WDJW):

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/f43db72a7c5c1da0?

Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve
paid for with their and our immortal lives:

"Blessed are you who hunger NOW…

… for you will be satisfied." — LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)

Amen.

Here is a Spirit-guided exegesis of Luke 6:21 given in hopes of
promoting much greater understanding:

Be hungrier, which is truly healthier:

My diabetic (adult) son tells me there is no longer a source of
needleless injectors in the UK.  I’d like to find out what types of such
injectors are available in other countries? Which is the best?

Any advice would be very welcome.

any connection with a false diagnosis?

If guns are  out-lawed. Only the Out-laws & politicians will have guns.

Since these groups have become narrow personal  items people should
look further for information. Doing a search on diabetes
turns up many sources.  Here is link to one.
