I had to have a physical from my own doctor who had to sign some paper work from GHI and I had to have a blood test as specified from GHI Medical. I followed the 500 calorie diet religiously. I had plenty of energy to exercise which I did 5 - 6 aerobic work outs and 3 weight training work outs. I am a personal trainer and I was having an extremely frustrating time loosing weight after the birth of my 3rd child. Yes, I washed my hair and conditioned it.
not saying at all that you shouldnt do that. my doc said with some fat and if nothing else make sure you eat Something. I have had a very hard time eating 20 g of fat 3 times a day. Lots of days I just dont feel Like I could eat anything when It is time to take the meds. I just do the best I can in a yucky situation. I do find my self justifying eating at Micky D's a little more. I have found that I am getting weird cravings. Big Macs, steaks, italian dressing, club soda, avacados.
I suspect that the development of an 'autoimmune' type response from the interferon, may be what is causing the blood pressure issues. If you research problems that Lupus patients experience, cardiovascular issues are high on the list. Also, note that many post-tx issues that people complain about (joint pains, fatigue, depression, brain fog, neuritis, rashes, sun sensitivity, etc. etc. are all major symptoms of autoimmune diseases, especially Lupus, Sjogren's, etc.....
How are you managing with your blood sugar control?
There are a lot of people, including people with type 1, who manage their blood sugars with low carb eating. For a person with type 1, this means that less insulin is needed and blood sugar will be more stable.
You can find out more information at the lectures on utube at "Bernstein diabetes university" - the lecturer is Dr. Richard Berstein and he is now 82 years old. He has been type 1 diabetic for 70 years.
As a diabetic, a healthy diet and balanced diet is a must, otherwise you will have keytones all the time and starving yourself to lose weight is never the answer.
#2: Skipping an insulin dosage (even 1!) will only cause your BG to increase. Even of you exercise right after eating. As soon as you put food in your mouth, enzymes and proteins begin the breakdown of food. When digestion begins, a healthy pancreas secretes insulin.
They specifically eliminate blood sugar spikes, and keep the blood sugar in a normal range. Blood sugar spiking is another theory as to why many type 1 diabetics gain weight, and these low GI foods reduce it. Just a side note however, when I was on the diet, my blood sugar constantly went low and i had to compensate by eating multiple snacks throughout the day, something that probably offset my pound-shedding.
I tend to get extremely nervous when I have my blood pressure taken ( even at home). I don't know how to overcome this. I have come up with a theory and tell me if this makes sense. I feel if I cry, it relieves the stress rather than building up anxiety. It seems to me that crying would relieve the stress. If this is true, I am going to cry when I have to have my BP taken rather than stress out about it. Please e-mail me ASAP. I am really hurting inside.
I am type 2 diabeteic patient. Due to skipping meal, I developed adrenaline stress and by diamicron metformin
But blood sugar was never high. Doctor gave me Lantus and Humalog. It was working well for a year. Then blood was becoming high, Doctor gave me LEVEMIR. If I take 10 units of humalog, after two hours sugar drops 4 points, I think this is the right dose for humalog for what I eat. I eat 60 gram Carb every meal.
That is very important, a lot of people are allergic to salt and don't know it. When I cut salt from my diet my blood pressure responded immediately. - It means reading ALL the labels and never buying anything with above about 50 - 100grms of salt. Change your doctor and ask for a diuretic, they are about the safest to reduce blood pressure, it will make you pee a lot but it will reduce the pressure almost immediately.
What are the means to lower Blood Urea Level in Type II diabetics.My MOL has type II diabeties since last over 10 years and takes insulin 12 in the morning and 6 in the evening apart from two tablets of oral medicine.Her Blood urea level recently was 60 and uric acid 8.4.
She has been put additionally on one tablet in the morning and 1/2 tablet in the evening of Zyloric and told to avoid tea /coffee and take low protein diet.
I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes in March of this year. My A1C was 7.8. I was given Metformin to take 2x Daily. They told me they wanted my fasting blood sugar to be 70 - 110, but I can't remember what they told me the range should be 2 hours after eating. I am only suppose to check my blood sugars once a day so I try to do it at a different time every day and I just can't remember what they told me what they should be after eating. Oh, and my A1C was down to 6.
and b) how it may have developed?
It is also vital that blood pressure is checked. 90% of dogs with kidney failure have high blood pressure, and it can be fatal as it progresses the kidney disease dramatically. Treating high blood pressure is therefore crucial.
Has the vet checked for Lepto and other tick borne diseases? These commonly inflict kidney disease in younger dogs.
Yes, IV fluids (with lactated ringer solution) is definitely something I would do.
I cleaned him up, no complaints from Sam, and when I pressed in on the rectum I found a little more blood, a little redder than on the fur blood. He has not bled since this He is acting normal. He is playing with his litter mate, Max, and all seems fine. But I am worried about the blood. Do you think he tore something in his rectum or intestine passing this rock? Please let me know what you think would be the best thing to do for Sam. He is up on all his shots. Thank you!
Hi everyone, yesterday I brought my wife home from the hospital (7 days) after she was admitted for having blood clots. She has a blood clot in her upper arm/shoulder area, and a blood clot in each lung. The ONLY risk factor she has towards blood clots is that she is on birth control. She has been on Yasmin for around 4-5 months now (she was previously on orthotricyclin). My wife is 25 and a non-smoker.
-- red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body;
-- white blood cells, which help fight infection; and,
-- platelets, which stick together at the site of a cut or wound to form a clot to stop the bleeding.
People who have thrombocytopenia don’t have enough platelets to form a blood clot, and so they may bleed excessively when they are cut.
2 -- How does thrombocytopenia occur?
Key to the Mediterranean Diet's Ability to Lower Blood Pressure
Theodora Psaltopoulou and colleagues from the University of Athens, Greece investigated whether the Mediterranean diet as a whole, or just olive oil, is responsible for the reduction in blood pressure associated with this way of eating. Their finding: while the diet as a whole reduces blood pressure, olive oil, by itself, is largely responsible.
i had sexual intercourse about 7 or 8 times before seeing a doctor. the same occurred except for 2 times, in which no blood appeared. but the majority of times blood came out in the sperm, or only after ejaculation during urination, or both in the sperm and the urine. once i woke up without having had sex that week and urinated blood. i tested my blood, sperm, and urine and the only abnormality was a high psa level. my dr said it is very rare and is that high in 40/50 year old.
Simple question here, has anyone ever had a negative blood test and negative urine test and went on with their daily routine and a month or so later found out you were in fact pregnant while having ultrasound done. If this has happened to anyone or perhaps someone you know, please respond, I'd appreciate the information. Thanks.

Please help.
