Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Midchuck Date: 01 Dec 08 - 10:45 AM Keep in mind that fish fuck in water. Who wants to drink that? Actually, they don't. The Maw fish lays eggs, and Paw fish comes along and fertilizes them after they're laid. Where do you think the expression, "Poor Fish" came from? Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: catspaw49 Date: 01 Dec 08 - 10:33 AM Ya' know Kendall, that's a good point. I'd suggest cutting off all water as well. Keep in mind that fish fuck in water. Who wants to drink that? Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Rapparee Date: 01 Dec 08 - 09:07 AM And stick to rum, whiskey, whisky, vodka, gin, and stuff like those. Everybody who has died has also drunk water, and THAT stuff rusts out your pipes -- just look what it does to good steel and then think of what it's doing to you. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: kendall Date: 01 Dec 08 - 09:02 AM I've done considerable research and I've come to the conclusion that eating is fatal. Every person who has died had eaten recently. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Backwoodsman Date: 01 Dec 08 - 04:17 AM Kendall, if it's Type 2 it's a nuisance but it's reasonably easy to live with. Good diet - plenty of pasta, rice, fresh vegetables, easy on the cookies, puds and ice-cream, avoid saturated fats, get plenty of exercise, be aware of your body and what it's saying to you (how could you be anything else after your experiences of the past few years?). And look after your feet and eyes - very important. I was diagnosed a year ago - I'm fitter now than I've been at any time in the past 25 years, and my cholesterol count is 2. Seems like every cloud has a silver lining! :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Barry Finn Date: 01 Dec 08 - 01:53 AM Kendall, 118 is good, very good. I was hovering around 350 for awhile & they were hoping I could get it down with pills but it didn't happen, I'd still like to see numbers in the low hundreds. You may be able to control this with just diet & exercise, if not maybe with some pills to get it down. They told me I was very lucky with the 1st liver transplant cause us liver guys are very likely to become diabetic, then the 2nd shoe dropped & the anvil came after that. It might be that you just gotta quit playing banjo though, you know God loves fiddlers but the rest can go to the devil Good luck with your other numbers, may they be low Barry |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Rapparee Date: 30 Nov 08 - 10:18 PM If you do take such a survey I'd appreciate it if you'd also ask which ones have leprosy and if so what body parts have recently fallen off. It's not so much that I really care but I think you'd find their reactions interesting. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: kendall Date: 30 Nov 08 - 10:15 PM Spaw, I've never had the clap and I don't want it again either. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Nov 08 - 10:15 PM Ya' never know Kendall. Maybe they've heard about you from other Docs. Maybe they already have a heavy workload and are figuring you might crap out on them before they have to take you on as a patient. Man, this could be it! See, start worrying about it and you'll blow a headpipe instead. Just try and relax. Here's a thought! Why not survey all your neighbors and see which ones have diabetes and which ones have had the clap? Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: kendall Date: 30 Nov 08 - 10:04 PM Thanks to all of you. Nancy, your crab cakes were delicious! I won't know exactly what I have until I meet with the specialist on 12/17. This was not diagnosed on the basis of one blood test. The first one was 118, and I don't know what the second one was. All I know is they called to say I was diabetic after the second test. Seems like if it was serious they would have dragged me back sooner than two weeks plus. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Rapparee Date: 30 Nov 08 - 09:14 PM Well, it'll never get well if he keeps picking it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Dan Schatz Date: 30 Nov 08 - 09:11 PM I've said it elsewhere, Kendall, but I'm awfully sorry to hear about the diagnosis - though it's a comfort to know your headaches and lethargy were something you can put a name to, and do something about. Besides, our Kendall's no stranger to exercise! Dan |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: GUEST,B12 enthusiast Date: 30 Nov 08 - 07:50 PM Also have your B12 checked. Those symptoms can be B12 deficiency symptoms. Drink more water. Dehydration makes you dizzy and sleepy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Barry Finn Date: 30 Nov 08 - 07:40 PM Geeze Kendall, if it weren't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all. Don't feel to bad, if it's any comfort & it probably isn't, I just got it too, bout 6 months ago, it ain't the worst thin in life. If we can both figure out who's responsible for this Diabetes thing that's going about maybe we can thrash 'em & get 'em to take it all back. Well if it's helpful, I don't understand it much at all, yet, I never had to think about what I ate nor about moving about to get to stay healthy. The classes offer & paid for through medicare (& other insurances) are very informing & some gyms & spa's are covered too. Exercise & diet, the 2 best things you can do, it sucks but it's the best. O shit, booze isn't gonna help, sorry but hey, that may keep you from needing a liver transplant, could be worst, you've had 2 shoes drop already, don't wanna see the anvil fall one one of those unsod feets of yours, God does that hurt. I'm looking for a good Diabetes cookbook at the moment, if I find one that fits the bill I'll past along what it's called. I've been telling Mary about the benifts of Lobster (see her thread about the infection from hell, she thinks she's got something to whine about?) don't you go following my advise to her, course being a downeaster yourself you'd know better anyway, lobster doesn't work for everything. Good luck with this new round, the hits just keep on coming don't they? That's what keeps us going though. Barry |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Rapparee Date: 30 Nov 08 - 06:54 PM I'm kinda partial to the Jolly Roger and a red pennant myself. Your colors may vary. Cap'n, my friend Pat is Type 1. Her blood glucose has varied from 28 (just a tad low) to 272 (just a tad high) in the years I've known her. Normally she's at about 130 or so. She rides dressage, mucks out the barn, works full time, quilts, and has recently returned from trips to both South Korea and Hawaii. Now if mere women can do the hard stuff, you can too. But get an A1C, would ya? |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: open mike Date: 30 Nov 08 - 06:16 PM good luck with this...just anothr test.... you will pass with flying colors. what does that mean flying colors? red? yellow? blue? what colors do you fly?! |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: GUEST Date: 30 Nov 08 - 06:10 PM Hi, Cap'n; my wife has been "type one", which means a much heavier-duty control regime, and total dependence on insulin, for over 50 years; she has no real health problems. You won't have to add up every damn carbohydrate you ingest like she does. Much better a diagnosis of diabetes than undiagnosed diabetes. As Repaire implied, I'm a little surprised if you were given that diagnosis on the basis of one glucose reading of 118. My wife's suggested goal range is 120 to 150, and I can't imagine any type one not slipping out of either end of that range some; she has survived a lot more fluctuation than that for most of her life. Yes, people find the diagnosis disheartening; but this isn't diddly to what you have hung in there through. Dean. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Rapparee Date: 30 Nov 08 - 10:31 AM Yeah, Spaw's right. It's also better than leprosy, smallpox, lues, anthrax, tetanus, typhoid, typhus, whooping cough, shingles, schistosomiosis, malaria, Chagras Fever, Ebola, Jakob-Crutchfield disease, cholera, gangrene, singing off-key, hemorrhagic fever, trench foot, diarrhea, MRSA, venereal termites, pinworms, toothache, poison ivy, necrotizing fasciitis, testicular elephantiasis, cirrhosis, or yaws. It's your bodies way of telling you to shape up and do what you should have been doing all along instead of having a good time. What's your A1C? You're not really a Type II unless you've got an A1C. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Nov 08 - 10:40 PM See? More and more testimonials!.....It really IS BETTER than the clap! Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Maryrrf Date: 29 Nov 08 - 10:23 PM That's unpleasant news Kendall but fortunately it can be dealt with. I second the suggestion of planting a garden. I planned out and planted my first garden this year and it has afforded me so much enjoyment, as SRS said, there's the exercise in the outdoors, the fun of picking out the seeds and plantlings, the actual digging in the dirt, and then watching the garden grow. Vegetables (especially salads) taste so wonderful when they are fresh - as in walk out the the garden, pick, wash, prepare as desired and eat. You might find you enjoy vegetables more when you grow your own. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Nancy King Date: 29 Nov 08 - 10:11 PM Well, Jeez, Kendall -- you didn't have enough going on already? You had to go out and get ANOTHER ailment? Boy, some people are never satisfied... Anyhow, presumably the previous posters have by now convinced you that this is not the end of the world. Just a pain in the ass. If they put you on medication it will probably take a while to get the dosage stabilized, and that's a drag, since as LilyFestre notes above, lows can come on fast and strong. Just have something with you all the time to counteract it, and you'll be OK. The only other help I can offer is to tell you that the cookbooks published by the American Diabetes Association/American Dietetic Association are VERY good. Some years ago my ex was diagnosed with type II, and I went and bought three of their cookbooks. They have some really great recipes (several of which I still use) and they include all the exchanges, etc. Remember those crabcakes we had when you came to see us in Sebago this summer? Those came from a diabetes cookbook (though I think the portions might have been a bit smaller...) I gave the books away a couple of years ago to another friend, or I'd send 'em right off to you, but I'm willing to bet your local library has them. The dietician will give you lots of good advice, no doubt, but you and Jacqui will have to figure out what works best for YOU, and those cookbooks could help. Hang in there, Darlin' -- we're all behind you! Love to both of you, Nancy |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 29 Nov 08 - 06:42 AM Bad luck you two. Keep fighting, life is good. See you soon, keith and mary. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: freda underhill Date: 29 Nov 08 - 06:36 AM Kendall and Jacqui very sorry to hear the latest. but like others v glad its not a resurgence of something uglier. Three years ago, after eating our way round the cake shops of Vienna (with my daughter), I returned to Sydney and a type 2 diagnosis. I figure it took me years of addiction to sugar to get there. Yes, I had to go to a dietician who reprogrammed and brainwashed me in several sessions. I don't eat pasta anymore, get low GI bread (full of seeds) and eat much more veg & protein (tofu, nuts, beans)and less carbs. 10 kg lighter and still enjoy life. Walking - I now go on long walks - regulalrly - daily, via thye harbour, via bookshops and via pretty streets to check out the gardens. walking walks everything off - the weight, the sugar, and burns off tension. join the club kendall, there are a few of us here and we're the lucky ones. the real danger is for anyone who hasn't been diagnosed. good luck with it all - & btw I've found a brand of dark choclate that doesn't have sugar in it. it's delicious. hugs to you both freda |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Nov 08 - 01:27 AM Kendall, Plant a garden. Make sure you put a good mix of plants in, greens like chard or spinach, squash, carrots, some potatoes are okay, eggplant (I had a bumper crop this year), tomatoes, broccoli. Etc. When you go to the work to plant the garden, you'll find it entertaining. And get some exercise working on it. And as plants grow, you'll find they look interesting, even tasty. Eat them. For me, the main food groups consist of: Potatoes, bread, corn on the cob and chocolate bars. Not any more. And if you grow more of your own food, you'll see why having (for example) a pizza with a topping of sliced green peppers, onions, and maybe a meat added to it is such a treat. You're eating the food from your garden, and you're doing yourself a favor at the same time. Take care, you're a great voice here at Mudcat and the CDs of yours that I have are a great pleasure to listen to. Now get yourself connected to the world you're living in, and you'll do your health a favor. Bon Appetite! SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Beer Date: 28 Nov 08 - 10:07 PM This is one disease that a cure will be found. If it is a drug I wish I could get shares. But then again it may be through some other research. Good luck Kendall were all on your side. Adrien |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 28 Nov 08 - 10:04 PM A few years back I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic - changing eating habits & slowly losing weight with the guidance of a dietician meant I could stop taking the tablets after a couple of tyears. My favourite food group is deep fried yumminess - I'm not a sweet tooth tho I was 20 years ago when I was told my tiredness & lack of concentration was due to hyperglycemia (spelling?) & I had been trying to keep awake by eating sweet stuff the way chain smokers consume tobacco. I had no trouble getting off the sweeties when I saw just what I could eat (glass, or in this case, plate, half full not half empty.) Tho I did tend to over-consume the savoury stuff! Which is why I eventually got to 89kg (2.2 pounds per kg for those who need to convert) & pre-diabetic. 15 kg later I still eat inappropriately at times, but I can live comfortably with the foods that are good for me. Now I have my thyroid specialist saying cutting my throat to remove my badly-behaved thyroid is a possibility! And if it is cancerous, it's the best (sounds familiar?) cancer to have cos it can all be removed & I just pop a tablet daily ... So I really must call her to get the latest biopsy result. sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: ranger1 Date: 28 Nov 08 - 09:33 PM Lookee Cap, if you needed more attention from us female types, all you had to do was ask. No need to go getting a medical condition. Geez! Seriously, though, my gramma got diagnosed with diabetes last year and she's doing just fine. So no worries, 'kay? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Rapparee Date: 28 Nov 08 - 08:19 PM 118? 118?? Hell, my blood sugar's higher than that when I get up in the morning! Yesterday it was 156!! (after dinner). How many times has your blood sugar been taken and by whom? Was that fasting or what? It all makes a difference! Get an A1C done and then start moaning. 118. Sheesh. (The average range most doctors use is 90 to 110, fasting. Really, get an A1C done -- it gives you an average for the last three months.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Escapee Date: 28 Nov 08 - 08:07 PM Sorry to hear your news. It turned out to be a blessing for me, though. It made me pay attention to food and drink, and take care of myself. Wishing you a similarly silver lining. SKP |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Nov 08 - 07:57 PM Well hell..........I opened up this thread expecting some sinisster and frightening new diseaese to have laid you low. Diabetes? Geeziz man........You'd be probably worse off with the clap! I mean they can cure the clap quite easily nowadays but if you had the clap Jacqui would kill you. So diabetes is no big deal! Besides, look at all the company you have around here and how much advice you already got on this thread. Cheer up or Jacqui will beat the livin' hell out of you. I'll call her again and make sure she does! Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: kendall Date: 28 Nov 08 - 07:56 PM Lizzie, you do make a lot of sense. The original test said my sugar was 118. I don't know what the one they did yesterday said. I'm not a big drinker of either alcohol or any kind of soft drink. However, I could live on mashed potatoes and fresh bread. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Rapparee Date: 28 Nov 08 - 07:53 PM Look, all the dietician will do is tell you to eat healthy meals. Lobster, crab, oysters, salmon, cod, rum -- all that Maine stuff -- is fine, even GOOD FOR YOU. Just don't overdo it. Cut back on the carbohydrates and fats, eat more protein and veggies. Here is what I know about stevia: 1. It's expensive, even in bulk. 2. My brother grew some this past summer and it took over the fence in the back yard. He has no idea what to do now. I used Splenda; the dietician said it was okay. Again, you don't use a lot of it or anything. You remember them old Greek fellas who used to hand about the docks in Machiasport? Sam Aristotle and Zeb Playdo? Well one of them was insulin-resistant diabetic (which is probably what you are) and when he got his eating orders he just sighed and said he was told, "Mahdahration. In all things mahdahration." And just what IS your A1C? Mine was 5.7, 7.0 is the upper limit. Find out and let us know so we can |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Severn Date: 28 Nov 08 - 07:51 PM I became diabetic this past year after my blood sugar spiked after my last chemo treatment (If the washin' don't get you then the rinsin' will!), and I have permanent diabetes now and am managing it quite well with a low carb diet and insulin. I DO have a neuropathy, numbness in the extremities, i.e. hands and feet, for which I take Neurotin/Gabopentin. So I'm off sweets and alchohol and staying away from bad carbs, corn potatoes, rice and pasta in large portions, but I'm dealing with it. My weight loss has stalled at 23-25 pounds, but I look and feel much better. It's far from the end of the world. Talk to me about it more as you find out more of your individual condition. Good luck with handling your own conditions. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Bobert Date: 28 Nov 08 - 07:38 PM Bad, Kendall, bad... I told you not to let Jacqui read my post an' now I'm in trouble, too... Geeze, I was jus' tryin' to help!!! B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 28 Nov 08 - 06:59 PM Hi Kendall, A fellow chocolate lover here...and a fellow diabetic too. ALL you have to remember is that a sugar-free wholemeal scone is now FAR sexier than Johnny Depp, and you'll be just fine! ;-) It's a doddle, honest. There's nothing to worry over, just a bit of learning to do, that's all, and then, you simply carry on, but without the weariness and the dizzyness, that's all. So don't worry about your appointment with the diet chappie..and don't lie there tonight worrying about it all, because honestly, there is nothing to worry about. It's just common sense, that's all. Just remember, that if you look after yourself, then all will be well. It's nothing to feel frightened about, not when you know what it's all about. YOU are in control of diabetes, not the other way around, and that's what makes it different to other problems. And yes, you can still eat sweet things, but in moderation, that's all and know what you're eating...for instance, a Tesco Mince Pie contains 27g of sugar, in EACH pie. (!!!) You get used to looking and learning how much of the crap white stuff is poured into our food these days..and stay right away from all the 'Be Good To Yourself' low fat food, because that is FILLED with sugar. Watch the alcohol. Learn to love fizzy water. :0) Put some orange in it...Diet Coke now and then..Mmmmmmm...love those chemicals! Water your orange juice down, half and half....Shandy with diet lemonade, instead of beer or wine..or again, water the wine down, have a Spritzer..there's ways round everything. I'm lucky, I hate the taste of aloohol, so that wasn't a problem for me..but there were some at my Diet Clinic who were on the floor practically, wailing that they'd never be able to drink again....Hell, I was deliriously happy, because I'd spotted that you could still eat doughnuts, so to hell with the alcohol. A girl has to have some vices! LOL Look after yourself and there'll be no problems. And truly, do NOT worry. Stay healthy and happy. Lizzie x |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: LilyFestre Date: 28 Nov 08 - 06:43 PM Sins is right you know. Your blood sugar may be elevated due to an infection or if you are sick (woozy and so forth DOES make your blood sugar rise). So do other prescription and non-presctiption meds. What was your glucose reading? Did they do an A1C blood test to see what your average glucose has been over the past 3 months? They say that 80 to 120 is a *normal* reading. Some folks run slightly higher. About your trip to the dietician.....they tend to be ultra strict with exchanges and all that. While it's good information and a good start, know that you won't (most likely) need to be THAT strict with yourself. Do you know anyone who is diabetic and would loan you their glucose testing kit (finger sticks) for a week or so? You could check your own fasting glucose levels each morning to maybe give a bit more peace of mind. I'm glad Sins brought that up.....maybe it's a glitch, no? Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: jacqui.c Date: 28 Nov 08 - 06:27 PM Bobert! Cellar! And you,Rapaire. The Capn's eyes lit up when he read your post and then he looked so sad when I explained the truth. Mind you, he's still giggling at your post................ |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: SINSULL Date: 28 Nov 08 - 05:58 PM I see long walks in Seamus' future... This is nothing compared to the other stuff. Put away the Reese's and you'll be fine. By the way - what are the numbers? And one blood test does not make a diabetes diagnosis necessarily. Damn! I hope Jacqui took out a warranty policy on you, Captain. These repairs are starting to add up. Love, Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Art Thieme Date: 28 Nov 08 - 05:41 PM Kendall, This gettin' older is sure a crock. When I was told about my MS, I asked for a second opinion.

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: kendall Date: 28 Nov 08 - 05:22 PM I just got an appointment with a diet specialist, Dec. 17th. That seems like a long way off, but apparently it takes 45 minutes for the whole exam. Anyway, as far as diet and exercise go, I like Raparie's the best. I needed that. The thing is, I don't have any serious symptoms. Blood pressure averages 120/60, my weight is within 10 pounds of what it was when I was 19, I don't have unusual thirst or sugar cravings. My only symptoms are: dizziness, lack of energy and weakness. Does anyone know anything about Stevia? I've been using that since I found out that Splenda is a sugar derivative. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Bobert Date: 28 Nov 08 - 05:16 PM Good news = Maine lobsters are good fir ya'... Bad news = Twinkies ain't... More bad news = Yer prolly gonna die... More good news = In 30 years... But the ol' hillbilly, who frequently feels woozy, is sorry ya' got the diabetes, Capt'n... My brother-in-law has had it for the last 20 years an' it ain't got him... He's 73 and still smokes and eats stuff he shouldn't... So here's my suggestion... Milk this fir everything you can... Tell Jacqui that yer too woozy to cut fire wood, 'er pick yer underwear up off the floor, 'er whatevetr it it you don't wanta do and tell her you just need to lie down in front of the TV and watch a good football game... Yeah, that is Dr. Bobert's suggestion... BTW, don't let her see this post... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Tig Date: 28 Nov 08 - 04:51 PM And what's more these days life is getting easier all the time. If you get stuck on insulin (or are a type 1) ask about Carb Counting/DAFNE. It's enabled me to halve my insulin intake and so reduce the risk of putting on loads of weight whilst eating anything I fancy. What's more I've found the fact I could eat sweet stuff/bread/cakes etc if I want them has taken the 'forbidden factor' away and I don't especially crave them anyway. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: Rapparee Date: 28 Nov 08 - 04:38 PM Oh, big deal. I've had that for three or four years now. Just watch what you eat (the four food groups are salt, sugar, grease and alcohol), get some exercise (I find running off at the mouth and jumping to conclusions are plenty), and take the pills. Hell, I had a friend who used to figure how much insulin he needed to inject to cover the Scotch he'd be drinking. Never could drink him under the table. Of course, he WAS a PhD in biochemistry. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health From: John MacKenzie Date: 28 Nov 08 - 04:15 PM Diabetes is chronic, but is it major? I mean for someone of your age who has got late onset, hopefully type 2, diabetes? Read what Michelle said, it's not the end of the world Cap'n. John 'XG' |
