- Just wanted to share -- last night my BG was 140! I haven't seen anything that low in at least a year -- WOW!Saw my endocrinologist's PA Monday -- she upped my insulin again, and (since I now know the insulin is working -- this was a test period) I...
- Not very urgent, just a comment by someone who's just gone on insulin. It's, well, a little weird!My endocrinologist's PA (whom I deal with mostly) told me things would be very different on insulin. Not worse, just different. Like, in the past,...
- Don't mean to pull anyone away from DS, which is a great place, but there's no group here specifically for adults with ADD/ADHD. Does anyone know of an online group for adults? I haven't found any online adult groups yet. I know we can start our...
- New to insulin, and a little disappointed -- thought my BG would come down right away. Only been injecting for a week and a half, already bumped dosage up once with no effect and I just bumped up again tonight on my own. At least, injecting turned...
- I recently discovered I need a midnight snack to keep from bottoming out and ending up with a higher morning BG. I started with 1 oz. of cheese (about 104 calories) and it did shave nearly 20 points off my morning reading. But my noon reading...
- During a period of real stress I was running mid-200s, on one occasion nearly 350. Less than a week later, after incredible efforts I'm down to 138 and I even had a 120 yesterday. The irony: When my sugar was high I was starving all the time. ...
- For all of you fighting your way thru a difficult day today (or maybe a nice day -- who knows?), I wish you an easy day, warmth from friends and loved ones, and if you are alone today I wish you not loneliness but peace and love. The people on DS...
- Now that the possibility of a layoff has come up at work I'm not sure I can make it anymore. It's all I could do to get out of bed this a.m., and I don't know how I'll be able to concentrate on working. My pdoc won't give me any more anxiety meds...
- Just a quick medication question for any of you who are suffering from both depression and diabetes and are taking Lexapro: Have any of you suffered a rise in blood sugar from the Lexapro? It's not listed as a standard side effect, but when I...

- I can't claim this is due to the anxiety disorder -- but it's going to aggravate it, I'm sure. It's likely there will be layoffs where I work in January, and I'm afraid I'll be one of them. For various reasons there's little chance I could find...
- Just had to throw in a mini-rant. I nearly got hospitalized (involuntarily) a few days ago for being suicidal. Today a "friend" called, ostensibly to see how I was (she didn't know why I was out) but actually to tell me some bad rumors from work,...
- Thanks to all who contacted me. I saw my pcdoc this morning. Usually I apparently put on a good act because people never believe I'm depressed, but this clinician saw what was going on and nearly had me involuntarily committed; she was ready to...
- I don't know how much longer I can keep going. My last 2 friends died this last year; I have pleasant acquaintances at work but there's no real contact with these folks, it's all surface. My family is long dead, I'm old enough (57) and sick enough...
- Even in years when I had a couple of friends still living I usually spent Thanksgiving alone. But this year I'm spending it eating out with an elderly lady who has a good heart but is one of the most verbally abusive women I've ever run across. ...
