60 units which of course I can not because (once again) he didn't write me a
new prescription! *bangs head on wall*
And to top it off my 2001 Ford Windstar has been recalled. It's a bad one.
If they find corrosion to the rear axle, they will either give me a rental
vehicle, but the new axles won't be available till the first quarter of 2011
or buy it back from me. I really can't afford to get another vehicle right
now considering that husband HAS to have one. Grrr...
I'm glad a new year is coming. It can only get better. Right? And you'd
think being on insulin now would make things better. But so far things have
only gotten worse!

I've lost count of all your health problems you have posted to this group
over the years.
If your insurance would cover it, or you can afford the expense yourself, I
think you would be wise to have your doctor commit you to the hospital for a
complete physical exam to find out and treat all of your health issues at
one time.
Treating them piecemeal doesn't seem to be helping you very much, and
possibly could be causing you more harm than good.
I would at lease discuss this possibility with your GP.

How long have you been on insulin, and how long have you been diabetic
(I'm assuming you are type11). Sorry, I know you are a regular here,

I don't know what type 11 is. I'm type 2. Had gestational diabetes then
was diagnosed with type 2 a year after I had the baby. I suspect what I
really had was type 2 then and not GD. So have been type 2 just over 11
years. Been on insulin for about 2 years, I think.

You are the one insisting that he cure your problem

Bullshit! I have changed my diet MANY times. The last change I made was to
skip lunch. This in an effort to lose weight. And it worked until I went
on the insulin. I was then told that I wasn't eating enough and I HAD to
eat lunch. I added it back in and promptly put the weight back on. The Dr.
then told me to stop eating lunch again, which I did. And I didn't lose the
weight.
I am not insisting that he cure me. There is no cure. And I sure as hell
don't want to be on insulin.
I have been here since 1998. You apparently don't know my story. So then
just shut up!
My Dr. is NOT writing me off. He is just frustrated as am I.
In the beginning I controlled by diet alone. I could not exercise. I was
totally disabled.
As I got better, I added exercise back in. It worked for a while. It does
NOT work now and only serves to raise my BG. So my Dr. told me to stop it.
Which I did. Mere walking (not that I can do a lot of it because I can't)
does not raise my BG. But working out hard with weights like I had been
doing is out.

Walking is not "mere" - either for weight loss or IR lowering - if you
can do enough of it, at the right time. Resistance training too can be
done without BG lowering - for me, very heavy weights lifted very
slowly for only 3 or 4 reps (to exhaustion) does not raise my BG, but
definitely helps IR.

I was doing very heavy weights and 30 reps. But even when using light
weights, it raised my BG even higher. Certainly did not seem to help with
the IR.

30 reps is waay too much for slow burn. You literally want to aim for
3 or 4.

In order to get the most IR reducing effect in the least time with the
least raising of BG you need to be lifting weights too heavy to be
lifted 30 or even 10 times.

Guess you folks saw the recent study that purported that light weight
reps to exhaustion were the way to build muscle mass. Strangely enough
just standing upright does the same. Hate to say it but pain may be a

I think my worst time was when we moved to NY from CA.
Husband didn't read the directions for several cleaning products and the end
result was nasty respiratory infections for all of us. I had a killer sinus
infection. BG was over 200 all the time no matter what I did. This is when
I tried the extreme low carb. It did not help me at all. If anything, it
made things worse. Only after I added some carbs back in did my BG come
down some.

I have an old book by Joyce Vedral. I believe she uses 3 pound weights. I
did all of the exercises but eventually had to move up to 5 then 10 pound
weights because I wasn't getting the bulk I wanted.
The technique she uses really does work though. But it did raise my BG.

My daughter can do it. I can't. She does it on the Wii. She can also sit
without moving. I can't do that either. The Wii registers even the

Should have mentioned posture. If you hang on your muscles you will
suffer. So Stand with your back to a wall straight using your skeleton
and it may give weak muscles a few more minutes. Pretend someone is
yanking you hair up and be used to loss.
I don't think most will deal with the effort. I've meet none locally
maybe 200 in a 50 mile radius. Nothing special just rare. Seems I
recall posting this in the past and silence was the answer.

Good art college models can stand motionless for 30 minutes at a time
and do it for hours every day to earn their living. It doesn't appear
to develop musculature :-)

If you can lift 18 pounds 30 times with correct form you must be able

OK so you have gastroparesis and food allergies. So did I.
It makes me nauseous just to read what you eat. I hope you
take vitamins.
I had a period of several months when I could not eat any solid food.
I pulled through on split pea soup and refried beans. Others
suggested baby food, but I never tried it. I would not touch rice or
bread. Allergic and aggravates my diabetes.
How many times a minute do you burp? I used to do over twenty
for hours at a stretch.
The pancreas also secretes digestive enzymes as well as insulin.
Pancreatin from a health food store solved the burping in no time.
Later my blood tests confirmed no digestive enzymes.
Another thing that helps is betaine also from a health food store.
This is just stomach acid. Many doctors only think in terms of
ulcers and prescribe antacids, but my gastric acid secretion is
low. Taking extra with meals helps.
I drink water: lots of it. Not four glasses, but four quarts a
day. It helps clear glucose through the kidneys and it
helps to keep the digestive tract moving.
The first solid food I could eat was potatoes. Any kind are good,
but instant mashed are easy to prepare. Idahoan and Betty Crocker
are OK, but other brands have stuff that aggravate my allergies.
Homemade soups and stews made in a crock pot work very well for
me. Everything fresh from produce or butcher so that I am sure
what is in it. I had to completely rethink the way I deal
with food. Nothing canned, boxed, frozen or bottled (with
one or two exceptions). No TV because the advertising is
effective and gives me the urge to eat things that are bad
for me. This is the way my grandparents lived; it is not
a bad life at all.
I do not accept any excuse for lack of exercise. If you can sit
up in bed and type on a computer, you can get two pound weights
(or whatever you can handle) and work out in bed. A lot of
people who have been in tight spots have pulled themselves through
with that kind of exercise. It isn't just BG. You need to improve
your general circulation. Even if it does not help your BG right
away, you should do it.
Shape up girl, or I will put *you* in my kill file.

Of course I take vitamins. Why would it make you nauseaus to read what I
eat? I don't eat very many things that are strange. Okay, chia seeds might
be considered strange. But I don't eat them often.

Aggravates your diabetes? What does that mean?

I don't burp very often.

I take PDA. My SIL doesn't have digested enzymes. She has to eat pickles.
If she doesn't, she gets stomach pains. She also has to eat a lot of brown
rice and tomatoes.

I can not have that. THAT makes me burp and gives me stomach pains. I
think I am allergic to it.

I drink a lot of Lime Diet Coke. I do drink water but I don't like it so
much.

I eat a lot of potatoes.

I can't eat beef stew. Can't digest the meat. Can do chicken stew but
Angela doesn't like it so much and neither do I. I don't like chicken very
much. I do eat a lot of soup. Even some canned soup but I am limited to
maybe three or four kinds that I am not allergic to.

The weights were raising my BG. So the Dr. told me to stop using them. I
did.

Get a plastic water container and fill it with water; as you get
stronger, replace it with sand.

That would be awfully expensive to get more than 18 pounds per arm! And I
still doubt that a plastic bottle would hold more than that.

Would be kind of hard to pick up three gallons per hand.

If you're using standard dumb bells which you can add standard weights
to, I've found very cheap weights at a local junk yard. He has piles
of them, along with all kinds of junked gym machinery. The weights are
usually a bit rusty from having been lying out in the open, but they
still work well and are easily cleaned up if you're fussy :-)

Nope. They're not standard weights. You can add weights, but... I have
added the most that can be added. These weights are polished steel. They
do not clip on. There's a screw type thing that holds them on.

Standard dumb bell weights don't clip on. They have a hole in the
middle and are held on by a screw type thing. Polished steel weights
are expensive. Cast iron ones are cheaper.

Maybe they have changed over the years. One of my roommates was a weight
lifter. He left his very heavy weights in the living room and went out of
town. For a long time!
My friends and I disassembled the weights and carried them disc by disc
upstairs. Some of those discs were very heavy in and of themselves. If I
remember correctly, his had a clip that held them on.
