I have type 1 diabetes, i've had it for the past 9 and a half years, i'm 22 now and i am considering having children in the near future. i was just wondering if any women who have diabetes and have kids, how their experiences were?? and how hard it is to control your blood sugars levels during pregnancy.
I now have 4 shots a day, 3 shots of NovoRapid and 1 shot of Lantus, I was recently put on this dose as my old dose of 2 shots of Mixtard 30/70 were making my blood sugar levels jump too high and too low, since i've been put on the new dose, my levels have been very good.

I've had a cold for about a week now. I've tried everything, from napping, to nasal spray, to drinking pure lemon juice along with cold medicines. I've even went to the doctor to make sure it isn't something like Strep. This thing doesn't seem to want to go away, andI am going to college for the first time tomorrow...Any other suggestions besides the ones I just mentioned??

Mine developed 2 years after starting Actonel so I'm not sure that is the cause, It's taking months to get rid of them maybe because the Actonel stays in the body for a long time. I had the same thing happen three years after taking Fosamax.

although you are preventing yourself from any harmfull bacteria and viruses, but still they are attacking humans health. Is there any other way the medicine can do?

Some causes to think about: food (modern farming, fertiliser, accelerated growth, lack of mineral - non-organic, food additives), lifestyle, emotional turmoil, environment (electrogmagnetic such as mobile phone, artifical lighting, smoke, chemical), amount chemical we put on our bodies and not enough natural body lotions, etc. Karma (based our previous life actions, actions committed earlier in this life), thoughts (negative toward oneself and others - as the subconcious can not tell difference).

If most agree, why are accepting all this??
