i believe the key is to know what and how the particular med u take works. a high gulcosse level is negative in a long term effect. but a low blood sugar is a medical emergency, so if u are not taking insulin or a insulin pushing drug such as starlix you will not be at risk for sudden hypoglyclymia or insulin shock ,sudden unconciousness or the like, your emt/ems at service, but talkto your doctor for further details. glucaphage (metaphormine) works by :This drug reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver and absorbed by the intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization avadia,too, starlix can get us into trouble. fast. starlix :Nateglinide lowers blood glucose levels by stimulating the release of insulin from functioning beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin release is glucose dependent and diminishes at low glucose concentrations.

I am going to a cardiologist as part of my pre opt, doctor didn't ask for it, but with diabetes neuropathy, the sensation of pain from a heart problem can be hidden during a attack, so as a part time school bus driver, being (a cheapy that I am, I got paid to take my kids on school field trips,) I had to take physical exams which told me I had diabetes, and also required a stress test. To drive the bus. So I had an angiogram too. Problems are very secretive, and testing is very important. I am going to ask for a 3d MRI of the heart. It's more effective than an angiogram except if its shows something than you would have to go for the angiogram to have a sent or bypass. according to ada, 56% of diabetics have and dont know that they have some form of neurpathy, which is the main killer of the desease, it damages the nerves of sesation to the heart,digestive system,skin,feet,eyes, and with out the sense of discomfort we neglect and allow simple ailment to worsen to infections.gangrene, runaway ulcers, stomach ailments. and worst of all undetected.treated heart attacks, sorry to lecture, but this screening may have saved your life. best of luck, and may the waters be calm.

This illustrates that African Americans recieve substandard health care in America! I believe it is the duty of every African American who has been denied this surgery should bring this study to the forfront of their insurers or employers who specifically exclude the ds. when the insureres reliaze that this discrimination must stop it will benefit all of us. I have not yet posted a picture so i will state for the record that i am not a African American, and there is no predudice in this proposed stratigy. ,

take AMTRAK, nice big rommy seats, no body searches, good food, buy a sleeper ,have tv movie and meals included, consider the extra cost the same as the hotel and meals spent at the destination anyway,. if its not a funeral i take amtrak, before i fly.

I called tricare benefit / authorization line for the northeast and specifically requested they verify they were reviewing the most updated cpb, and the ds is still covered and there is not change indicated to be implemented or being considered. I had a new representive and a trainer /supervisor on line to confirm the benefit level. All should call and confirm themselves.As they do take the ss# of the caller so i cannot politely call again as to challange a differ representative.

THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE SOLICITING THE SENIORS TO GO TO TOWN MEETING TO ENROLL FOR MEDICARE COVERAGE WITH THEM. I suggest that we all go or get a more senior family member or friend to go to these enrollment seminar meetings they sponsor and ask about W L S and D S in particular of the sale representatives that are there. Be specific, you will probably be put off as they expect to answer more geriatric questions, but as a senior of 55 I 'm concerned about what they have to offer on W L S. AETNA has a full page ad in the state wide daily in N J listing 10 locations for these meetings today. If one query is raised at each meeting and each salesman goes back and reports his response or lack of knowledge, the voice will be heard. Think if this spreads across the country to all of Aetna and the industry.

Aetna dropped the diet history require and subtituded a OR doctors regimented preportory program program for 3 months prior to surgury, Effective 4/19/2005, cpb 0157 , so what ever thats worth,
