Hello 4sons, Are there significant medical tests for this product? I would think that if it were for real than they would get some proof to back it up. Maybe I am wrong. For instance, as is often the...
The FDA really ought to do something about the sugar-free candy labeling. It's a complete scam. I think someone on this forum once pointed out that 10 grams of sugar alcohol is like 5 grams of...
AMM, add my prayers to the growing list. Keep us updated. God bless!...
Hey folks... A question about diet pepsi. Does it affect blood sugar levels? How about Caffeine? and Imitation sweeteners? By the way, my last A1C was 7.3! Not bad considering that I found out in...

That whole sugar alcohol thing is a little confusing. I really dont understand it, so I just stay away from things that have it. If anyone can explain it to us, I would appreciate it. I have a high...
I like the idea of natural cures as well. UNfortunately, the medical world can't make much money on them so we are kind of on our own in determining their efficacy. I am a bit skeptical of the makers...
I am one of the knuckle heads that Jeanie keeps in line. Congrats Jeanie! PS I thought Jeanie had two N's. LOL...
Coop, were you hands clean and dry? A hundred points off is a lot to be a meter misreading....

Thanks Jeannie. I woke up to an all time low. 87. That's 3 to 4 times lower than where it was a six months ago. And I even haven't been able to exercise much lately, since my membership expired. I am...
Hello again ,it took a few months of learning about what to eat, but my blood sugars are getting lower and lower. For instance, this morning I took two consecqutive readings that were under a 95. A...
You all are not going to believe this, but the moment that I began reading this thread, and I mean the exact moment, a channel 8 Newsmakers came on. The topic was about a cure for diabetes. They...

Hang in there AMM. And be sure to take a nap if you get tired. [code]...
[quote="AMM"] DMW, Don't jump the gun. It could just be that the machine isn't properly coded or it is a bad bottle of strips. If it turns out the machine doesn't work there should be no problem...
Yellowbird.. Welcome aboard the diabetes board. Nuck Nuck Nuck. And just think, when you make some new diabetic friends you will have someone to have lunch with. I am probably not a good candiate for...
So.. Do most people gain weight when they start taking insulin?...
Dang, unless you were juggling marzipan or working in a confectionary, I'd return it, and get a new one. Yours is not working properly or even within the 20% maximum error tolerance. They shouldn't...
Actually I am not a big fan of beer. I put a email reminder which alert s me in my calander everyday to drink more water. It's been working for me, by reminding me to drink more water. I heard that...
And I suppose that beer doesnt count? :) Even though it makes you go to the bath room a lot?...

Hello Jeannie, I don't have a job or health insurance so the advice I get reading books and chatting in forums, is all I've got for now. Last week, I purchased the ADA's "complete guide to Diabetes."...

Here's a few things that I tend to eat. 1. 2 scramble eggs with onion and peppers and one piece of toast. ( I used to eat three pieces of toast). Is 100% whole wheat better than pumpernickle? I've...

Hello Folks, and thanks again for all your help. As per your suggestions, I'll have to look into the free clinic idea. There is one that is about 30 minutes away. I would have to get on state...
