Mike is going on insulin

Hmm, been on pills for almost 20 years, they tell me I done good...lots of people haven't lasted as long as I have. Haven't gained any weight in a year but my diabetes is "running out of control". Maybe I pissed it out .

Hey, I can say my signs at the bridge and stuff with VY is all diabetes running rampant in my head.

No kidding, now taking shots, I now really got diabetes.

I had pre diabetes for the last 20 years...never really had diabetes...

You should see the fist full of horse pills I take for pre diabetes every mourning and night for the last 20 years...???

Sorry, Mike. I hope that thaings go well with you.

Do exactly what they tell you. You will be fine.

I cut back on my exercise, I still work out two or three or more times a week. Went off avantia and got on actos. That avantia stuff was really powerful medicine and actos seems to not be as powerful.

With advantia last year I was getting painful and frightening low blood sugar event, so consequently everytime I felt shaky or hungry I was eating to ward off low sugar events.

At the end of the day, basically I felt if i was running around being blind...as to whether i was hungry or not or sliding into low sugar events. I felt lost with my ability to know what my body wants or to do...it some ways diabetes and these chemicals blinded me to the signals of my body and food.

Then the doctors will say, mike you idiot, that was what we gave you a blood glucose measuring meter for and all those test strips you don't use....

There is no question this is a mental issue more than just the technical issue of low insulin, or the body doesn't use insulin like other people.

At the end of the day, I don't what to do these mental calculations of when and what to eat..day in and day out. I want to live to and old age also.

I am generally in really good health, my blood pressure is spectacularly good, I still got a lot of muscles, lungs and heart endurance when i am climbing those big hills on my bike. I got no peripheral diabetes issues yet and I can still easily get it up.

I don't see why my insurance company won't buy me a new road bike. They got gps gear for bicycles to enforce this. I bet you i could save them $100,000 dollars over the rest of my lifetime...they will hit the jackpot if i have a head on with a car.

TMI mike TMI ...lol...we all get it up easily these days.

That is like fake breast...I talking about about naturally.

I said I can get it up easily...doesn't mean I get to use it.

Well, I am still taking my pills, but I am taking long acting shots of insulin.

A lantus pin...

Cinnamon every day mike...add it to your coffee.

The diabetes nurse said yesterday over and over again, you eat too much...

Black Coffee with cinnamon has 0 calories Mike.

one, three, or six grams of cinnamon daily, divided into two doses (that amounts to between a quarter of a teaspoon to one teaspoon a day), lowered fasting glucose by 18 to 29 percent, triglycerides by 23 to 30 percent, LDL cholesterol by 7 to 27 percent, and total cholesterol by 12 to 26 percent.

If they said that about dog shit, would you be eating teaspoons of dog shit!

In Pakistan, bet Bin laden wrote it...does this country have a FDA?

You are just spewing garbage...

Some evidence suggests that cinnamon might help people with the much more common type 2 diabetes (in which the pancreas still produces insulin, but cells become resistant to it), but not those with type 1. The first study suggesting that cinnamon might help control blood sugar (and cholesterol) was published in the December, 2003, issue of Diabetes Care. Done in Pakistan, it ran for only 40 days and included 60 patients with type 2 diabetes

They are starting me out on a really low dose. I took the first full dose last night and my readings this morning was 95. I don't even know how long ago my morning readings ever went below 100.

When I was putting 100 to 150 mile a week on my bike I never had to worry about blood sugar. Test after test would come back near 100.

But hitting the bike today, I'll take my blood sugar before I go and I will take the meter with me and use it. And some sugar to eat of i go low.

It will be the first time I ever took my meter with me on the bike and use it on the road. I am taking lots of test for a few weeks unil I figure out what is going on....

Good, die b*tch.

You’re so fat you fell into the grand canyon and got stuck

My world record bike ride happened last year and I went easily 80 miles in 12 days...well I worried about dehydrating and heat stroke. I can drive my bike to Greenfield Ma and back like driving to the corner convenience store...that is about 50 miles. I just about drive my bike everywhere in the local...hardly ever use my car.

I am 6'2' and 205 pounds. My heart beat rate bangs around 60 beats per minute...that is in the athlete range. Haven't gained any weight in a year.

Last year I average about 100 to 150 miles per week this year maybe 50-75...I really love getting a challenging hill or any tough hill...kicking up my breathing and heart beat. It is a real challenge nowadays to come to gasping, not like the old days, where where a moderate hill would leave me gasping for air.
