who likes Jelly Beans .. they have an 80% glycemic index which is better
than other candies and Guess what Life Savers have a 78% index.. what a
brilliant name!! and they both taste much better than chalk .. I mean glucose
tablets

Yeah Jan I’m addicted to Jelly Beans, Gum Drops and spice Drops myself. Fast
acting carbs are important to treat lows. Let me know when you get your pc
back.

I used to eat M&M’s for lows… because I liked the
chocolate taste and because they melt in your mouth
instead of everywhere else. But I now use Glucose
Tablets for lows; 4g carb/tablet, no fat, very
predictable results; orange flavored–taste good.
Available at all drug stores.

>I checked my sugar and

helping at all.

Sometimes it’s the TYPE of sugar injested that’s the problem.
Chocolate is full of fat and that delays the carbs. Do not eat
chocolate for lows. Since I have spent $1200.00 on three broken teeth
due to chomping hard candy, I now carry those gum-droppy type Orange
Slices in a doubled plastic snack-size zipper bag. 13 carbs each. Also
the Butter Mints have NO fat in them and melt easily. The carb count
is on the package labels.

Mine’s still under service contract ’til the day after Thanksgiving. I
don’t understand when Tuesday I was told it was finished and I said,
"Good, I’ll get it on Thursday’s shipment." He said no they don’t do
it that way. :(( Better be here on Monday’s shipment!

< A1c below 6.>>>>

I know you know this Joan but when a Patient has a HGA1c that is extremely
high you need to bring them down slowly because coming down from 15 to 6 can
cause a lot more problems. Especially with your eyes. The target is a good
one but may not be a realistic one for some diabetics.

<< Bloating can also be a symptom. When I first started, what I found out
later to be gastro, I had terrible sour belches. They were terrible and I
hated being around anyone. Then gradually it worsened to nausea on arising
every morning, to nausea all the time, then terrible bloating and swelling
( could not wear many of my clothes, had to have something loose) then the
vomiting.
