I recently found this web page that describes what to do if you were not allowed to use the restroom in a business establishment. Thought some of the folks here that don't yet have their treatment under control might be interested. http://cfpra.org/PRI/Fightback.htm If anyone knows of another group that cares, forward it to them or better let me know (1st remove the NOSPAM from my email address)

In reference to the Terror Alert Levels, formerly DefCon (Defense Condition) - "Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who also urged Americans on Monday not to disrupt their holiday plans. "If you've got travel plans, travel," he said." Yep, I plan on traveling. From the living room for entertainment, to the kitchen for sustenance, for a lay over in the bedroom <g>, and the 'water closet' for relief. Round trip. Of course that may not be in order. Have to keep them guessing, you know.

G'day G'day Folks, Have an awesome festive season, whatever and where ever you are celebrating. Situated on the East coast of New Zealand we are about the first folks to greet each new day. It arrives all fresh and pristine regular as clockwork. Then things happen ... some good, some bad. Most of it what we make of it. Be kind to the days we pass on to you, we would like to keep having them back tomorrow in mint condition.

I'm going for the morning ... and will stay for lunch, I will be gone and back here by 3.00pm at the latest. I have my own christmas to enjoy and it doesn't include family ... i have a few friends coming over ;) -- T1 Dx'd 1993. 26u Lantus and as much novorapid as my meter says i need "Al Hardy" <a.hardy2@ntlworld.com> wrote in message news:bscvd9$augeu$1@ID-191168.news.uni-berlin.de...

Well it's been 2 months since I've been dxed. Some things have been pretty easy and other things have been pretty difficult. The easy things are: not eating fast food eating more veggies taking my metformin 2x/day walking (most of the time, sometimes no time to walk) (was at the mall and walked 8km (11,000 steps) and another day walked 9km (12,000 steps)!!! drinking water poking my fingers

A friend of mine has recently been taken off of avandia, as he suffered from congestive hert failure. He has been put o something called Amylin (or amilyn) for hie diabetes. This is not familiar to me at all. Does anone know what it is and how it works? Wendy

Here again comes the season in which people proclaim : "Peace On Earth, Good Will Toward Man" We can only hope that by January 2nd we are still carrying that blessing in our hearts and attitudes. I've learned important lessons in my life - the most important being that life itself passes by too fast - and we, the living, tend to take for granted that there will always be tomorrow. Tomorrow for breathing in the joy of being alive. Tomorrow for remembering to do a

I know this don't have anything to do with diabetes but I am absolutely thrilled that he was captured yesterday at 8:30 in a cellar like the rat that he is. It's not in the newspapers yet, not in the south at least. Charlie in SC T-1

I keep getting blood boils in my groan area, and under arms my doctor said its command with diabetes. Anyone else have this and any treatments that help. Thanks Tim

Greetings & Salutations Grady, I followed the link for your homepage to the link for "Chats with Marty", then "Healing foods for the T2". I have a question about the first paragraph. Not wanting to take anything out of context, but included here is the statement(s) that I'm a bit confused by. You (or Marty?) said, "Under diabetes mellitus it has juvenile onset diabetes and adult onset diabetes. Type II diabetes is adult onset diabetes...".

Here are some articles related to fat metabolism and diabetes, the first speaks to the topic of "lean" folk who get it. I n short, dealing with the elevated triglyceride levels leads to insulin resistence and this in time to t2 diabetes: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/432408 http://care.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/24/5/933?maxtoshow=&H http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/49/5/677?maxt

Just another suggestion - you say that you do not have space for a second PC - do you have enough space for just a second base unit? I use a simple 2-KVM switch which cost me about 20 quid. For those who do not know, KVM = Keyboard, Video, Mouse. It allows you to use two computers with the same mouse, kybd and monitor. I usually use it when I am working on someone else's pc for them - firing up moorhen hunt or something on mine while I am waiting for theirs to install something or...

Here's an excerpt from http://www.ukmicentral.nhs.uk/headline/database/story.asp?offset=20&NewsID=2 808 Cinnamon for diabetes? A placebo-controlled trial has shown that in the short term, at least, consuming at least a gram of cinnamon daily can reduce fasting blood glucose and lipids in people with type 2 diabetes. The trial involved 60 adults with type 2 diabetes who were randomised to take capsules containing 1, 3, or 6

At present I take Glucovance(metformin&glucoride) 2/day and Avandia(rosiglitazone) 1/day but continue to develop gas - 2 hours after taking my pills specially after dinner I start to develop gas, making life very uncomfortable for this old guy. I started with Glucophage and Glucophage XR but they really tore my stomach(gas). Those of you who have had similar problems with gas and have changed medication, what are you taking now? or do you continue to take Glucovance but what are you...

Although I have been aware of the Life Extension Foundation for many years, this just happened to be at the top of the GOOGLE hit list for "metformin dosage". There were 89 more hits presented. Please note that a reference to a June 2003 issue of Life Extension magazine. This means that the info provided is no older than June 2003.

I caught wind of the "PETA" campaign on FOX News last night. I went to their web site to see if it was really true. PETA representatives are handing out a "comic" to children who are going the the Nutcracker with their parents. This item is so repungent that I cannot believe that anyone would stoop this low to make a point. PETA thinks this is a good method to forward their views. I believe that they need to hear from the public that this method is
