I feel reborn! In spending so much concentrated time on my thesis and M.F.A., I must admit I have been a bad friend, blogger, daughter, sister, granddaughter, and diabetic. I would get so engrossed in my work that I'd forget to test, text, return calls, emails,etc. I didn't even answer the door (census takers, take note!) But I'm back to some semblance of normalcy--until I begin my PhD in the fall (don't jinx me). To those readers still with me, I apologize for my too long absence.   But you know what? (What, you ask?)I'm not going to beat myself up about it (not that anyone is...

Lowering your bloodsugars may not protect against heart disease but will help with kidney disease down the road. This from the American Diabetes Association… But what may be most important is what the study results have in common - patients with the lowest blood sugar levels had just as many heart problems as diabetics who did not keep as rigid a cap on their blood-sugar levels. When results are confusing and contradictory like this- there is always backlash from patients. I think we need to remember what we have been taught and control our bloodsugars regardless of research like this. if you would like to red more…    Tags: ada, american diabetes asssociation, bloodsugars, Diabetes, diabetics, heart-disease, ...

This does not take into consideration that some people might function better with a higher blood sugar. For all intents and purposes this is for safety reasons. Clocking in at no higher than 120 mg/dL is evidenced to delay the onset of long-term diabetic complications. However, in my blog about Jeff the Trucker, in order for Jeff to be considered safe to drive -- the Federal Standards said that he must maintain blood sugars between 140 and 200. Whereas conventional medicine says the safest range for blood sugars is between 80 and 120. If Federal Standards say that you can function better wit...
