current prob. her arm is like "spasming" and she is in terrible pain. she's been to the doc who said he doesnt' know what is, which is what he told her when her chest was hurting too. well, the meds she is taking, along w/ the new ones for pain is raising her blood sugar up to over 500. as in the meter won't tell her what it is, because hers only registers up to 500. anyway, am i crazy or could she die easily w/ blood sugar like that. (all she had to eat the whole day was a bowl of oatmeal.) if she quits taking her psych meds, she kind of loses it, the pain meds and she goes in to pain...she has insulin, but i don't think she takes it like she should, but she said she does. i told her to go to another doc, but she won't. what do you think the effects are going to be if she continues like this. (i am a diabetic, so i know the minor effects of the disease, but have never really asked what happens w/ such high bs numbers.) anyway, any suggestions on any of this?

Hi, I am a type 1 diabetic and 18 years old, I just got diagnosed a year ago. I was wondering if I should buy a pump, some worries are that I am pretty active in sports: Rugby, lots of exercise, and I am thinking about maybe going into MMA (mixed martial arts). Would it be more of a help or a burden with the pump? By the way I take Novolog and lantus. I'm pretty sure that my blood last time i went in was at 7.5.

Being a type 2 diabetic and having my morning glucose reading above 160 consistently it was advised to have a snack before bedtime which would help controlthe glucose, evidently not eating can be as bad as eating the wrong things, any suggestions for a night time snack?

I had a thought after I posted my first question. Is it inevitable that all type 2's become worse and are eventually insulin dependent no matter how well you eat, exercise, and do your best to take care of yourself? Or can the disease remain under control for a lifetime?

I am a type 2 Diabetic. It was caught early enough to where I am not on medication and the disease is being treated by exercise and eating the right combination of low carb foods. It's been about 4 years now and so far so good. However; someone told me that no matter how hard a type 2 Diabetic works at keeping the disease under control, that the pancreas completely wears itself out over time and that all type 2 Diabetics eventually become type 1's. Is this true?

One of my best friends has developed neuropathy from problems stemming from diabetes. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist.
Can massage help him, or slow the progression of the disease? I want to do whatever I can to help him.

On a question over here, someone said that a blood glucose of 120 mg/dL is "normal".

Hell no! But I see doctors say this kind of thing, because I guess they're worried the patient will try to keep tighter control and run into more hypogylycemic episodes.

120 is safe, not ideal, and not normal.It makes me wonder if docters knowingly don't give the best care advice or if they've really forgotten that much.

I'm eating healthier and leaner now than I did last year before I went on insulin. Im on Lantus and Humulin R. I've gained 25 lbs and still climbing. Are there any insulins that don't make you gain weight?

I am a insulin dependent diabetic which is bad enough but a few weeks ago i was diagnosed with anemia and because of that my potassium level also dropped which causes terrible muscle cramps. i am usually a very upbeat person but i am finding it hard to cope with all this pain and go to class and work. so does anyone with the same/similar problems want to talk or any other nice person want to talk and help me cheer up?

Doctor put me on Glucophage about 6 days ago, since then my sugar levels have come down from 400 to about 290 which is still obviously high. Anyone have any idea how long it takes for it to get your levels around normal? Days. weeks, months?

He was doing excellent with his self care until a couple of days ago, he thinks he can eat whatever he wants and if sugar is high, he can just eat something with sugar,and if too low he can just take a shot for it, I was going to have his dr. talk to him about it tomm, I don't think it's as simple as that?
He has only been diagnosed a few weeks, all new to us.
