| | | Diane,
Yes I have started low carb diet. Thanks and these may be basic diabetes knowledge for U but not for me so thanks... and these questions may help other people that are afraid to ask b/c they may get a response like " Most of the questions you have asked have been pretty basic diabetes knowledge"
Thanks Diane |

| | | Don't ever feel embarrased to ask any question you have, Jared. Regardless of how long anyone has had diabetes, things change and so do attitudes of docs and CDE's. You don't necessarily have to go low carb, but it may help you in getting your numbers down to where they should be. No matter which way you go, whatever works for you is what you should do.
Please keep us up on how you're doing,
HeatherP

| | | I have a friend who has had diabetes longer than I have and she claims she feels bad whenever her blood sugar is below 200. Of course, she has had a heart attack, two kidney transplants, and eye surgery and she's younger than I am.
On the other hand, I have felt like I was in insulin shock when my blood sugar was in the high "normal" range. This morning, I was sure I was in an insulin reaction so I checked my blood sugar and it was 137.

| | | Jared, I know how you feel having been through the same thing myself a few years ago. However, when I managed to get my sugard back to normal (and I eventuall did it by crashing them down- so felt really ill for a few days) I realised that I had been feeling ill with the highs for so long I had forgotten what it felt like to feel good- so thats something to aim for.
Good Luck!

| | | Jared,
I'm not trying to discourage anyone from asking questions here and hundreds do. I thought you were recently diagnosed by your posts and your comment about being a diabetic for 14 years stunned me and made me wonder. When a person is diagnosed, they are usually told many things about it by their doctors. As resources there are books at the library, and the internet has been around a long time, as well as asking your physician questions. If you have been deprived of good medical advice by your doctors, that is very unfortunate.
