From: JonL on 21 Nov 2006 12:17 Interested in anyone's response to this. I have a freind who has told me that her doctor has informed her that she is "pre diabetic". She is a fairly skinny lady so I think it may be the beginnings of type 1 late onset. But anyways her nutritional specialist has told her to make sure she eats 40 - 60 gr of carbs per meal (!). The suggestion being use those beta cells or losem.

I'm thin, and was downright skinny when my IR was at its worst and I became type 2 DM. Susan

Find a different nutritional specialist; the suggestion being that the one she is using is harmful to her health. Even better, save the money and get her to read this: http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 1000mg, ezetrol 10mg Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. -- http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/ http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/ latest: Rome and Lazio

I guess that's the new ADA line; I know someone else this year who was told the very same thing by her dietician. She was told to eat high carb at every meal "so your pancreas doesn't get lazy."

Hate to say it coz I've been with Kaiser for 20 years but their endo was too cautions and too slow to react to things (took 9 months to confirm that I was t1) He had me start on 12 units of lantus and up 2 units the following month, Finally I started moving it up every 2 days until I closed the gap with the dawn effect. I now use 30 units of lanture. There are many things I like about Kaiser but I had to be my own advocate. Jonl |
