i was wondering if it's ok to take Lisinopril right after taking Glipizide or would I have to wait a couple hours before I take this medication. I just feel I have alot of medication to take a day. I have to take another pill @ night aswell, called Simvastatin.

I've just been diagnosed through a blood test. I have not heard how my ultrasound came out yet. I was told that I had them but wasn't told anything more but to come back in 6 months. What do I do? What do I eat or not eat? Anyway to break them up so that I don't end up being in a lot of pain???

Anyone take cinnamon caps, and does it help lower the blood sugar? And how about preventing type 2 diabetes in the first place (my father has type I -- insulin dependent). Thank you!

My blood sugar is normally between 85-105. Lately though it will drop into the 50-60 range and then within an hour or so spike to the 170 range. I am not a diabetic, but could this be? I go to the restroom quite a bit.

We all know that diabetes and thyroid disorders are both endocrine diseases and frequently autoimmune. Is it common for type 1s to also develop thyroid problems? I saw my endo yesterday and while everything was just fine (office blood sugar was 114 and I use a pump), my doctor took notice of my enlarged thyroid (something I never noticed). He asked me if I had gained some weight and I told him I had gained about 7 pounds in the last 6 weeks and my doctor also saw that my skin was really dry.

Now, I have a appointment for a whole lot of blood work (mostly thyroid and vitamin levels, along with the usual metabolic panels, blood count and A1C). I was tested for thyroid problems about 12-13 years ago and while my levels were slightly out of range, they were nothing to be concerned about.

So...hmmmm. I guess I'll wait fot the bloodwork to come back and see if I need to be adding Synthroid to my daily medications. Oh well.

I've always been tested for diabetes due to a strong family history on both sides of the family, but it's always been negative. Recently I've become very dizzy and having frequent headaches and when I checked my sugar it's been between 160 and 200. I'm also 12 wks. pregnant and the doctor says they check for gestational diabetes at 20 wks. What does this sound like to you?

If it happen that I put my foot on a small particle of 2mm unconsciously, I collapse on ground.I am regularly taking diabetic medicines.One tablet Glynase before food and one tablet Glyciphage after food, three times daily.Both my legs are paining and I am unable to sleep in nights.I have attended many conferences.They said it cannot be cured.

About 9 years ago I had stopped smoking for a few months. It was right after this event I I was diagnosed with diabetes. I had a very hard time managing my diabetes for some time.

With the stress of caused by the diabetes, and the passing of a loved one I went back to smoking. The management of my glucose became very easy.

This last week I stopped smoking again, and now my glucose is all over the place. And what's worse is my symptoms have more than doubled. (mostly frequent urination)

Is it just stress or is there more to this? Has any research been done that may make a connection?

I have an appointment with my doc. in a few days.....

I was at a store buying me some Insulin Syringes and their was a this woman behine me. She told the casheir that she was going to be nice to her customers I assume they knew each other. Anyways she start saying don't you need a licensen to give out needles, so anyone can come in and buy them that's like anyone can go buy a gun off the streets! I got so piss off that she made a comment like that. I told her why would someone come in a buy all these syringes they could just get it from anybody off these streets then to purchace them ya know. She was lookin' like oh my goodness I can't believe she just told me that. And the cashier told her these are for people who take Insulin. What do you think about that?

My father is a diabetic. He has been on pills to control his diabetes for like 3 years. He has had the same diabetic doctor for the whole time. He has most of his toes cut off due to the diabetes. Yesterday, he almost went into a sugar coma when his sugar tested 394. He was given insulin to bring it down. I was told by the nurse, that he will have to take insulin for the rest of his life. She said he probably needed a long time ago. She said that if he would have been given it before, he would probably have all his toes. I am thinking of pursing a lawsuit against his doctor. Do you think that I have a case?

they say that frequent urination and excessive thirst are big symptoms of diabetes. but which comes first? i mean, do you pee a lot so you then get thirsty? or are you thirsty, so you drink, and therefore pee a lot? i dont think i have frequent urination, but i am always thirsty. so i drink a lot of crystal lite (water), or diet coke....nothing with sugar is what i'm trying to say. i'm not sure if i'm still insulin resistant or if i'm full blown diabetic (my labs are still pending w/ follow up with doc). my blood sugars are pretty much always <180 with only a few exceptions.
