The pollen that gives you itchy eyes and a runny nose may irritate more than just your sinuses. According to dLife, allergies and allergy medication may affect your blood sugars.Not all allergy medications will spike your blood sugars. Watch out for decongestants with sugar and/or alcohol listed in their ingredients. They may affect your blood sugars and leave you feeling more worse-off than your allergies alone. There’s not much research available on this topic, so we took our question to the community and posted a poll on Facebook: Do seasonal allergies affect your blood sugars?A quarter of those who responded said seasonal allergies raise their blood sugars, one per cent said they lower their blood sugars, 43 per cent said their allergi...

When I think about death and diabetes, my mind wants to think about a person who has lived with diabetes for a long time.  I want to think that they lived a full and satisfying life, fighting diabetes blow for blow along the way.  Like a boxer who is not quite great enough to avoid getting hit, but always finds a way to retaliate, punch for punch.  As if he’s saying “Oh?  You hit me?  Here, take this punch with you on your way out.” But time catches up with everyone, and they can’t deal with getting hit so hard and so often.  So after years and years of battling, they eventually retire, gracefully or otherwise.  They can look back and say they gave it a good fight, and had many great time...

Seriously, I thought I was the only person in the world who had it until I joined TuDiabetes.  Now, more and more Health Care Professionals are recognizing that LADA does exist! but there are still 10% of the Type 2 population who are living with LADA that don't know it. I will continue to talk about LADA and help educate those who don't know about it-until I turn blue because it's not fair for people to be misdiagnosed and not for people who have LADA to feel alone.  I want to say---Thank you to Dlife and TuDiabetes (DHF) for bringing LADA Awareness to the diabetes com...

Many more people came out for the San Francisco World Diabetes Day event than last year. Probably because the Ferry Building is centrally located and a wonderful place to catch the attention of passers’-by. See how pretty: I’ve got more photos to share, but before I go on, an announcement: [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2995973 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:00:04 +0100 2995973 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1911360&cid=t_120336_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2008%2F10%2Fbrief-notes-healthy-skepticism.html My mom’s been complaining that my latest posts have been too long. So I’m attempting to keep this one brief — despite the humongously eventful week I have behind me.

I am always one for new and diabetic friendly recipes, and the good ones are few and far between, so I though I would share this video with you. The chef, Chris Smith, the “diabetic chef, shares a great recipe for phyllo asparagus wraps with salsa dip and dishes the dirt on picking a good cheese. I should also share that I love asparagus… I will stop short of sharing why my kids are fascinated with it (it makes EVERYTHING green, haha). I was thinking, you could even throw some chicken breast in with it and not really change the carb content, and it would be more of a light meal! Enjoy.

A new review of the body of published research on inhaled insulin reveals positive and negative results. Keep in mind, this body of research is lean and only covers a six month window of follow-up. Researchers examined eight studies involving 1,881 patients with type 2 diabetes to compare inhaled insulin, injected insulin and oral medications. On the positive side, inhaled insulin worked as well as short-acting injected insulin to control blood sugar over three months. Inhaled insulin can also improve blood glucose control for type 2s who have not had good results with short-acting insulin taken on top of baseline insulin. But inhaled insulin users had more difficult... The Diabetes Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=716535 Thu, 05 Jul 2007 04:00:00 +0100 716535
