I wonder why diabetes monitoring systems aren't equipet with bluetooth technology? It seems that this a very impotant issue to so many, i work with children, the ones with diabetes it seems that thier parents keep a close eye on them. Wouldn't it be easier and worth while to push for something like this were parents and concerned others could call in or review over the internet at thier levels over the day?

Hi, im 25 yrs old, i have had diabetes since i was 5 had it under control until turned 19 medical card got taken away from gov, thought I could keep it manageable but it's gotten way out of control all I want to do is drink(non alcohol) but not really water just like juice and stuff. Really hard to stop. Wat can I do?
Have you asked the ER physician for an RX (prescription) for diabetes medication? They cannot refuse if the ER testing says your glucose levels are above normal.
Diabetes is controllable through oral medication, good nutrition, moderate exercise, and weight control. Unfortunately, without health insurance the medication can be expensive. If you're disabled apply for Medicare to help reduce medical expenditures. Any free clinics in your area?
Part of the problems we are having in this country, I believe, stems from the formal education we have, or don't have. Basically the public education system we have has not changed over the last century, so what changes would you make if you could and if added cost is involved how would you pay for it.
Your first step should be to attend a diabetes education class -- a free one if your doctor can recommend. Gather some reading materials to learn what foods provide what level of carbs and refer to them often until you have developed a good system for yourself.
Remember that exercise and weight loss (if necessary) are equally important to a good food regimen for controlling diabetes.
Was diagnosed 4 years ago w/diabetes type 2. Went to all the classes, was put on Metformin and a couple other meds. Taught to check my blood sugar a couple times a day. Knew I had to lose weight, change to a healthier diet, and get exercise. Was noncompliant with education/meds/blood sugar monitoring/weight loss/exercise/dietary recommendations. Now I have swollen feet and I feel terrible. My feet became very swollen for the first time yesterday.
Hi all, as a professional donating time here, I educate many people on OCD. Education is the first and basic step to knowledge and that helps to make OCD less of a mysterious monster. (Now it can be a known monster, smile). With that in mind, here are a few beginning and super basic OCD articles that anyone can start with and learn about the disorder. There are several experts in the United States that I trust and recommend. First of all is Dr.
You can begin your diabetes education by reading, understanding and practicing what is put forth at these sites:

Since you didn't provide us any information to work with, you can start by making lifestyle changes. Too many people rely solely on medication to make themselves normal when basic lifestyle changes are ignored. Medication alone will not do the work for you, they are there to 'help' you.
There will poor absorption of the nutrients resulting in weightloss and nutritional problems. It may cause diabetes mellitus. It is also a risk factor for pancreatic cancer though the risk is not 100%.

t have personal experience with this one, but I work in health care. Is there a diabetes education clinic or group in your area? They can be very helpful in helping you control your sugar levels. Some women can control it with food but not all. That all depends on your results. Your Dr will give you guidance as far as if you need insulin or another medication. But it will be alright, you have a diagnoses and this is something that is treatable. Take care.
Consider reading Blood Sugar 101 online or another basic diabetes book. Diabetes education classes are also good IF they give you up to date information which is not always the case. There are many websites and much information online written by people who are successfully managing their diabetes. Remaining consistently over 250 is very dangerous and can lead to complications.
It sounds like it might be diabetes. I say you need to see a doctor asap. I mean it. Don't delay or go to emerg. Describe your symptoms and ask for a blood glucose level test. If you know someone who has diabetes ask to use their monitor to test your blood if you don't want to go to emerg. If your level is higher than 14 or in the 170 range depending on their settings go to the hospital. By the way I'm a nurse and studying in diabetes education so I encourage you to get checked asap.
My hospital set me up with a diabetic education class, and it helped tons.
Believe it or not, the way around being paranoid, to some extent is getting a proper education on diabetes. Was this gestational diabetes? Do you have any other medical conditions that might complicate a pregnancy? Is this type 2 diabetes? If so, get exercise, drink water and eat foods high in fiber and lower in carbohydrates.
When you say "you thought you were in control", were you monitoring your blood glucose levels and how often?
I have Stage3 chronic kidney disease and know the liver is working harder but because of this new diagnosis was wondering if there’s a connection. I don’t have diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
Hi, Im 17 1/2 years old, about a month back, I was diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes type 1. My specialist thinks that eventually it's going to develop into actual diabetes and I'm going to have to insert insulin. I'm a senior in high school and after I graduate, I want to go to community college and then possibly join the military to become a book keeper or work in an financial department.
It is obvious from your post that you are in need of diabetes education. You can obtain this from your doctor, or by carefully reading the information available on various diabetes web sites.
Only a doctor should advise you of medication dosage/s as he/she has access to your medical records and history. Accepting this type of advice from a stranger on a public health forum/board can put your life at risk, especially with insulin.
My daughter is 16 and also has diabetes. She has a IEP, which is an Individual Education Plan. They have to accommodate you because of your illness. My daughter also misses a lot of school and with this IEP she has a homebound tutor that kicks in when she misses. You need to meet with your daughter's principle and councilor and talk to them about this. You are not alone~!
