Or are they predisposed to getting this shitty disease in the first place. I’m just sitting here at my desk looking at all the diabetes supplements and prescriptions I take everyday and it amazes me that I’m taking these to treat a disease that I might have avoided in the first place. I remember being a teenager with no thoughts of diabetes or monitoring my carb intake. Hell I remember going out to football games and drinking a mouthful of maple syrup or sugar right before leaving. It was like when Rocky drank the raw eggs for breakfast before working out. I thought I was giving myself energy. All I really was doing was upping my blood sugar and making my pancreas work hard to inject insulin in my blood to deal with all those ...

But do you know that a healthy diet and regular physical activity are directly related to your ability to have normal sexual function? If you have diabetes, it’s even more important to pay close attention to your diet and exercise routine. The benefits of exercise and healthy eating constantly reinforce each other. First of all, good blood flow to the penis is essential for erections. High levels of cholesterol and fat in your bloodstream leave deposits in the walls of your blood vessels. This leads to atherosclerosis and contributes to high blood pressure, both of which can damage blood vessels and reduce blood flow. Exercise helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure. A diet low in fat and cholesterol also helps ...

After the suggested ramp-up period, I am now taking 10 units, or 60 micrograms, or Symlin at breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have been very consistent about taking it (e.g., I am not skipping doses if I just exercised or plan to exercise after work). These are some of my observations, which may be confounded because I also cut down my weekly long ride from 90+ to about 45 miles, and similarly reduced my long runs from 16-20 miles to 8-12. I am still exercising nearly every day, although the daily volume is somewhat reduced as well. Another possible confound is that I am trying to eat a lot less, in general, but during exercise in particu...

Bascom Hill Band generously provided the music and the production costs were graciously donated by LifeScan, maker of the OneTouch glucose meter. From Steve Parker, diagnosed after signing up for the race, to Larry Smith, who decided to race to celebrate his 60th birthday and has had diabetes for 47 years, and from Dave Shack, with little athletic background, to Bill Carlson, a seasoned athlete with countless achievements, we had a diverse group. Special thanks naturally go to Andiamo Productions, who immediately understood the vision of this project, and have worked tirelessly and expertly throughout the past year.

The summary focuses mostly on the race itself and my diabetes management during the race. I thought I would include it here for anyone who might be interested. At the bottom, I've written a brief explanation of some of the diabetes lingo that I use here, for those who are less familiar with all this stuff! Photos are courtesy of Blair Ryan.**Here's a brief lowdown on the diabetes stuff (mostly) from the race yesterday. But first, it was an amazing experience.

Pictures will have to wait since my digital camera broke and I am using one of those Walgreen's 35-mm disposables! Too bad!We took a swim this morning and the water is cold. My first reaction was, "This is colder than Aquatic Park." They mentioned that it was around 57 but it felt colder to me. Anyway, at least the water was much calmer than last year and I think it will be okay. The official word is that booties or aqua socks will definitely be allowed, and a volunteer told me they will have hot tubs and warming huts available after the swim. So don't be surprised if you see a lot of long transition times! We were wondering if they might also be serving us drinks in the hot tub?Waiting in line to register, I spied a girl with an insulin pump and decided to say...

I swam one more time at Aquatic Park in preparation for the cool temperatures forecast for Lake Coeur d'Alene. I looked over some notes and last year the temp. was 64 degrees F; in the past few days Lake CDA has been closer to 54-56 according to the USGS. My swim this morning felt great, though; once I warm up, a swim in the Bay is pleasant on a sunny day.I have bumped up all my basals by 0.2 U/hr because of the taper this week; and that may not be enough. My BG's were pretty much rock-solid around 90 last night, once I came down from a high because I accidentally canceled my bolus! (Duh! Next time the pump alarms, don't ignore it! I assumed it was a "low insulin" ala...

We had several deaths in our close nit community and at my workplace. With that being said…  was virtually non existent around the blogging front. Apologies! For the week- my bloodsugars were very very very low. Did I mention that they were low? Like 62 and 53 low. Usually stress affects me the other way but for whatever reason my sugar checks were in the toilet and I would definitely rather be high then low. Low is no good! I ate my regular foods and did exercise for most of the week- which consisted of walking and swimming. I do need to get back on track with my weights and situps/pushups.  Desperately. So on to a better week- I hope!! Honestly- it can not get much worse. Tags: diabetes, exercise, food, Hearty Diet, journal,...

Despite going off the pump and switching insulin, my morning highs are persisting with a fierce determination. I am taking a deep breath and will try to forget those few weeks of easy and beautiful control and just deal with the situation. Perhaps it is better not to wonder why I need more insulin despite exercising more and losing weight and just take it. It is hard to really believe I need as much as I seem to. For example, as of 10 AM today, I had taken as much insulin (~20 units) as I took for the entire day a few weeks ago. Thanks to some great help from Matt Corcoran and a few friends, I am not figuring this out alone.

This should cut down on the testing I do while at work, when my blood sugars are typically very stable or dropping (as of late), and should also make things easier on the bike. During Ironman Coeur d'Alene last year, it was working well enough for me to stop using the BG meter for a couple hours. And that was the STS version--I think the 7 should be even better. Also, I am excited to be able to prevent some of the lows that I have been having lately. With the increase in exercise load, and the drop in weight, things are in constant flux. Adjusting my nighttime basal rates should be easier as well--I know from previous experience that it is possible to be decent at 2-3 AM (when I often wake up and test) a...

I have been anywhere between 78, where I do not feel good, and 111. Sometimes there is just no rhyme nor reason, but tis life. Exercise- yeah I am kicking some mean butt and should so be dropping some lbs but noooooooo. I am feeling good physically and mentally but I have not had any further success on the scale. It will come I suppose. I do not want a miracle, just 5-7 lbs. And it is truly frustrating to exercise and eat so darn balanced and healthy and not see progress on the scale. Spring is just starting to creep into my neck of the woods so before long we will be outdoors 24/7! Yee ha!!

Furthermore, those same 10 minutes on the treadmill will enhance your parasympathetic nervous system - the internal organization also known as the rest and digest system. The parasympathetic system conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract. Sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions typically function in opposition to each other. But this opposition is better termed complementary in nature rather than antagonistic. For an analogy, one may think of the sympathetic di... The Diabetes Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=551269 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 04:00:00 +0100 551269
