Please put me on the ping list as I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes.
Just a bit embarassed here. Having been in FR for as long or longer than most I still don’t have a clue what being on a ping list means. Asked once and got a meaningless answer.
Can I try one more time? What does being on a ping list mean?
Oh, and I’d like to be on your diabetes ping list if it doesn’t mean that my machine won’t explode or some such. I was diagnosed 3/06. Had my A1G (or whatever) tested yesterday and it was 6.3. Thought it was high but they said fine.
I guess I should get on the list, also. I was just diagnosed with type II last month. A1C was 9.5%. I have a lot to learn.
I sound like a broken record, but just lowering blood sugar numbers may not stop the underlying damage done by having all that insulin released into the body after eating carbs. Yes, low glycemic carbs will do the damage more slowly, but a carb is still a carb.
As for the medicines for diabetes...
