is there something in orange juice that helps bring your blood sugar back up faster? (besides sugar and carbs) the only reason I am asking is because I have seen questions that have to do with low blood sugar and a lot of answers saying that you should drink orange juice to bring your bs back up. why orange juice?

I really want to become a doctor. I've wanted it for practically all my life but ten years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes (type 1). It didn't occur to me for a long time that it may be a problem. But I'm just about to finish my final year in high school and I'll be applying to colleges. I know that I could handle the medical training but i'm worried that my internship and residency could be difficult to deal with as a diabetic. I'd be very grateful if anyone working in the health-care sector would be able to advise me.

I am on an Animas Insulin pump, and have been for 4 years. The problem I am having is that I have to buy my pump supplies on my own (had insurance that paid for all of them, but once I lost it, had to pay for the supplies myself for the past year, and current insurance won't pay for any of them until next month) and they are expensive (about $100 or more a month). I am currently unemployed and my fiance is having to pay for everything for me. He really doesn't make enough to pay for these supplies. I have to go off of the pump today as it is time to change the insert, but I don't have anymore supplies. That means going back onto shots (I need 4-6, or more, a day to control the diabetes). I have the supplies for doing this, but hate to do it. I have much better control on the pump.

My question is, does anyone know where I can get the pump supplies cheaper or for free until insurance kicks in? I am also having the same problem with test strips and can't find anyplace to get those.

I've ALWAYS been skeptical whenever any governmental body tried to tell me to do or not to do anything. Turns out I was right all the time! I've been a diabetic, since 1974, and thanks to the FDA aspartame, Nutri-Sweet, has been legally poisoning me and everybody else. Aspartame, Equal, Nutra-Sweet and other names, has been shown to cause Cancer in an Italian study and is TOTALLY banned from Japan. Now these stuffed shirt's have had other, harmless, sweeteners banned from the US market, until 1994 I believe Stevia a herb that has been in use, almost, everywhere but here. Free market? Well, if you're wondering why those Artificial Sweeteners cost so much; the lobbyists cost big bucks. And guess who pays? Kind of makes me wonder WTF the Petroleum Industry, a much more powerful group especially with Bubba as President, is having banned currently? In about 50 years, by use of the Freedom of Information Act, we may discover somebody thought up a way to get energy from water but the Grease Monkeys kept it off the market. It would NOT be the first time such a thing has happened. For more info about Aspartame go here;

It seems like nothing big has ever been cured, we just keep adding new diseases. Being diabetic, I thought this would be an easy cure because if your pancreas doesn't work islets of langerhorn can be injected into your pancreas and work to produce insulin. Problem is rejection by the body and taking pills to prevent rejection. It's like being right on the doorstep of a cure for one of the most common diseases in this world and sitting there waiting waiting waiting.

Now, I strongly believe that curing something like diabetes would take billions of dollars away from your major drug companies and also prolong the lifes of many millions. I believe that the powers that be would not want this.

My question is, has anything been cured in the past 100 years which is a disease? Does anyone know of any promising diabetic research?

My husband, age 39, just had a heart attack last Tuesday. Upon recovery, we were informed that he is a diabetic as well. We have been given a meter, called OneTouch Ultra 2. The meter was free, but the stips are costing us a fortune. Does anyone know of another brand of strips that are more economic that will fit this meter? Our insurance will not cover the cost of the strips. Thanks!
