It'a Always One Great Piece Of News After Another

Exercise is an incredible help. In my own experience thirty minutes on the bike or walking at a pace somewhat above the ambling rate is good for a 70 point reduction in Mgd. This is with type II diabetes. Now, it sounds like you might have type I, but exercise is supposed to be at least somewhat helpful there, too.

As far as low blood sugar during exercise, I favor exercise after eating. This is contrary to the official advice, but I find that once I get into hypoglycemia, I eat and don't stop till I can't hold any more. Anyway, if it happens while riding, carry a bottle of gatoraid or flat coke. They're not as good as skim milk, but who wants a bottle of milk on a bike.

No expert here, Steve. I'm kind of sharing personal experience, and after seven years I only started medication in December. I've no experience with insulin.

After pnly 4 days on insulin and meds, today I've been up all day with all my old energy back getting shitloads accomplished, no nap and about to fix a late dinner for the boy and I. Even with the constant pain in my neck and head..... I feel GREAT!!!!!

here's the test on how the meds work. 4 gigs in two days... about three hours sleep between now and Monday when I go in for my mri...let's see if I keep up well.

Good luck

Now I'm waiting for results of my MRI and the pain in my neck and head is becoming unbearable. I can't move it side to side or up and down and it's giving me terrible headaches. The cervical x rays showed nothing and if they can't find anything on the MRI they want a cat or pet to see if something is going on in my brain.

Enough of this bullshit. Now I'm just pissed off. I'm not going to just fall apart all at once. The Bear don't go out like that. Whatever's going on here has got to stop. Period.

Good luck hon. Hope it shows something that can be fixed NOW.

they found something... not sure what, but now I need a bone scan.

More good luck from here.

listening and sending healing thoughts.

Nodding at the title of this thread.

Hang in, kid.

Thinking of you honey bear.

Hold your dominion, Bear.

I have to agree with you there. Although the rich widows and housewives wouldn't be my first choice either, I'd stick to them if it was up to me.

That aside, I'll think healthy thoughts for you.

I have a big gig the evening of my bone scan. If I have them inject a little extra radiation I won't have to set up my lights, I'll just glow in the dark. Lemonade from lemons.

NO CANCER!!!! HOORAY!!!!

So there is a great piece of news.. very good.

I was due and today I feel relieved and grateful

Great news. High time.

Awesome news Bear. So happy for you. Now hopefully the rest will come into place.

That's definitely good to hear.
