Hey Gang:

Got my results today--6.2 Hemoblobin A1C.  However, Doctor Strain is concerned about one thing--"significant" hypothyroidism!  He wants to check me again in two weeks to see if it was a fluke or if there's really an ongoing problem.  He's concerned though, that if the levels haven't changed in two weeks, I need to be treated farely quickly and aggressively.  He also said that this is a farely common problem with diabetic patients and is thinking about Cynthroid.  When I asked him about side affects, he said there was a pretty broad range from: constipation, to fatigue, to weight-gain?  I said, "no, we dont need that."  Anyway, I'm needing to get some feedback?  Does anyone else share this dilemma?

I've been treated for hypothyroidism for many years and understand it does 
seem to go hand in hand with type 1 or 2 diabetes.
 I've never noted any side affects from taking synthroid, but  from my 
understanding its best to start off on generic as many who take  the name 
brand synthroid often cannot go to generic and this may cause  insurance 
issues for you down the road.  The census on this goes back and forth but 
for most people I know, once taking the name brand  and being told they have 
to go to generic they often  end up with  a battle and finding they  have to 
have the name brand.... just FYI
 The  side affects you note are those associate with hypothyroidism, not 
taking the synthroid. often fatigue, weight gain, loss of hair skin changes, 
typically feeling cold all go with having  hypothyroid.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Fw: question regarding the article titled
	Understanding Medical Insurance
Message-ID: <BAY110-DS34C66CE7FD0A9B087BEBDA1FA0@phx.gbl>

I got this question from someone who read my article and this will probably 
answer a lot of questions pertaining to this.

The commercials on tv that talk about Diabetic Supplies, are for medicare 
clients and they state it in there commercials, anyone that has medicare and 
if you are not sure give the information to the supplier and they will let 
you know if you qualify or not.  If you are not on Medicare and still work 
or have Medicaid, each insurance is different.

Diabetic supplies fall under durable medical supplies, which is not the same 
a prescription drugs.  Now depending on your insurance company they will 
have a few contracts with Medical supply companies, some of them are in your 
area and some you may have to send in a prescription to.  Now with the 
Prodigy Voice or the Solo Meter or any meter, it all depends on what that 
supplier carries and you may need for your dr to request it from the 
supplier as well as you may need to contact the insurance company as well.

I hope this helps.

Hi Cheryl,



Thanks for writing on this subject. In reading, I had a question
regarding how people find local diabetic suppliers. I know you mention
the ads are common on TV. For those without a TV, are there other ways
one can find out about local diabetic suppliers who administer Prodigy
talking meters and testing supplies?



Thanks again,

Joslin shows insulin guards against artery damage
? 
Christian Rask-Madsen, M.D., Ph.D., lead author on Cell Metabolism paper 
Long suspected of worsening artery damage in patients with diabetes, insulin instead protects blood vessels, a new study by scientists here at Joslin Diabetes Center indicates. 
??
This important discovery came from Joslin basic research efforts. If you would like to provide financial support to basic research at Joslin, click here to give online.


?
For decades, medical researchers have debated whether insulin can promote atherosclerosis, the buildup of cholesterol in blood vessels that causes coronary artery disease and stroke. This was a particular concern?for those patients with type 2 diabetes who need insulin injections to control their blood glucose levels. 
My laboratory in the Dianne Nunnally Hoppes Laboratory for Diabetes Complications now has produced clear evidence that insulin protects arteries. Our work was published on May 5 in Cell Metabolism online.
Extrapolating the findings to humans would suggest that physicians should not be so wary of prescribing insulin to patients with diabetes. It also raises the exciting possibility of designing special insulins that interact directly with blood vessels, potentially slowing atherosclerosis in these patients.
Our study focused on endothelial cells, the cells lining the inside of blood vessels in which atherosclerotic plaques develop. 
We began with a line of mice in which the gene for the insulin receptor has been knocked out in endothelial cells only. In these mice, endothelial cells are unresponsive to insulin. 
?Mice don?t get atherosclerosis unless their normal cholesterol metabolism is changed,? notes Christian Rask-Madsen, M.D., Ph.D., a research associate in our lab and lead author on the paper. So the insulin-receptor knockout mice were crossed with another line of mice, known as ApoE mice, which has elevated cholesterol levels in the blood.? Dr. Rask-Madsen and his colleagues then compared how atherosclerosis developed in these mice compared to standard ApoE mice.
The two groups of mice showed similar levels of other factors known to promote cardiovascular disease, including blood pressure, glucose metabolism and the levels of lipids in the blood. 
But we found that the insulin-receptor knockout mice were on a fast track to atherosclerosis.? The insulin-receptor knockout mice developed cholesterol plaques that were more than twice the size of those found in the control animals. 
Taken altogether, the evidence ?suggests that if you can improve insulin action in endothelial cells, you may be able to slow or prevent atherosclerosis,? notes Dr. Rask-Madsen.

Dan:

The Solo meter is better than the Prodigy Voice at giving an error 
indication if too little blood is sucked up by the strip. Whereas with the 
Prodigy Voice, one must take a second reading to determine if what seems 
like an anomalous reading is just that or whether one's blood sugar is as 
low as the mneter indicates, the Solo V2 tends either to give a plausible 
reading, give you an error message or flat-out tell you that you didn't get 
enough blood on the strip. On the other hand, you'd have to take a second 
reading most of the time anyway so while the Solo may cut down on 
frustration a bit, the practical outcome is that most of the time, you'd 
have to do the same thing (take a second reading) no matter which meter you 
used.

The Solo has a much nicer case than does the Prodigy Voice -- the Solo case 
is rigid and there's a place for lancets, lancet device, strips and meter 
and even control solution.

On the other hand, the Solo has the drawback that it has no "Say Display" 
key to repeat whatever is on the display. This means that in order to hear 
the reading you've just taken, you must pull out the strip and go back into 
Memory Mode to hear the reading. In addition, when reviewing readings in 
memory (or hearing the reading that you've just taken after lancing your 
finger), the time of the reading is not voiced even though it is on the 
print display and even though the *date* of readings in memory is spoken. To 
my mind, this is a serious, nay nearly fatal, drawback to the Solo in that I 
keep a written log of my readings with date/time as well as value of 
readings and don't always have a chance to write down the reading 
immediately.

On the other hand, the Solo allows you to flag a reading as being either 
before or after a meal or leave it unflagged and one can set an alarm to 
tell you when next to test although in truth I can see little need for such 
a feature.

According to two people whom I trust, the Solo software to download readings 
to a computer is *not* accessible with either JAWS or Window Eyes, this 
despite claims of some to the contrary. The Prodigy Voice software is also 
not acccessible.

And the Prodigy Voice case pulls a hard vacuum; I use a different case with 
it.

Bottom line: while there's mush about the Solo V2 to like, I'd still go with 
the prodigy Voice in that there is a Say Display key and one hears the 
date/time of every reading in memory. Wish the Prodigy Voice would say the 
date/time as the reading was being taken, though (it does say it when it is 
turned on).

HTH!

Whereas with the Prodigy Voice, one must take a second reading to determine if what seems like an anomalous reading is just that or whether one's blood sugar is as low as the mneter indicates, the Solo V2 tends either to give a plausible reading, give you an error message or flat-out tell you that you didn't get enough blood on the strip. On the other hand, you'd have to take a second reading most of the time anyway so while the Solo may cut down on frustration a bit, the practical outcome is that most of the time, you'd have to do the same thing (take a second reading) no matter which meter you used.

This means that in order to hear the reading you've just taken, you must pull out the strip and go back into Memory Mode to hear the reading. In addition, when reviewing readings in memory (or hearing the reading that you've just taken after lancing your finger), the time of the reading is not voiced even though it is on the print display and even though the *date* of readings in memory is spoken. To my mind, this is a serious, nay nearly fatal, drawback to the Solo in that I keep a written log of my readings with date/time as well as value of readings and don't always have a chance to write down the reading immediately.

Mike, nice review and comparison of meters. I just got a Solo because 
naturally I had to check it out. Not saying the time of readings in 
memory also drives me up the wall. But I do have a question for all 
of you about the case. Ummm, is it just me? What am I missing? Where, 
oh where in the world do you put the stabbers? I know that the little 
bag of 10 that came with the meter was tucked under the meter. But 
really! I like to have a compartment that will actually hold a few 
days' worth of stabbers so that in case of fire, earth quake, or 
whatever, I can grab that case and go. I'd sure rather have that than 
a place for a battery which one would need very occasionally. Hmmm. I 
eagerly await finding out whether or not my master's degree has let 
me down once again. <grin.>
Thanks.

Veronica:

Were it up to me,I'd just refill the baggy with a few more lancets. However, 
it looked to me that right alongside the meter toward the edge of the case, 
there is a slot that would hold three or four lancets. Admittedly they'd be 
loose (that's why I say just reuse the baggy) but that might work.

Mike

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Final Call for the Cruise for the National
	Association of Guide Dog Users
Message-ID: <BAY110-DS2001159376BC28E0CEA922A1FE0@phx.gbl>

Hello all:

June 1, 2010 is the final call for deposits for the Cruise Fundraiser for 
NAGDU - The National Association of Guide Dog Users.  After June 1st, I will 
not be able to hold these staterooms.

Here is the full information on this cruise.  Also these prices are the best 
you are going to get on this ship, since these staterooms were books back in 
December 2009.

Here is the information:

National Association of Guide Dog Users
7-Night Caribbean Group Cruise

The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) has partnered with 
Cheryl Echevarria, a member of NAGDU and Owner of Echevarriatravel.com, to 
sponsor a 7-day Caribbean Cruise for the benefit of NAGDU. For every person 
booking passage on this cruise, $25 will be donated to the National 
Association of Guide Dog Users with a matching contribution of $25 from 
Echevarriatravel.com

The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) is a special interest 
Division of the National Federation of the Blind for people who currently 
use guide dogs as mobility tools, those considering getting a guide dog, or 
those who want to learn more about the use of such dogs. One of NAGDU's 
major projects is the establishment of a national toll-free education and 
advocacy hotline that will provide on-demand access to information about 
guide dog use, including information about state and federal laws that 
protect the civil rights of service animal users. This hotline will also 
afford callers the ability to speak with a specially trained volunteer 
advocate to help resolve access issues. All Proceeds from this cruise will 
be used to support this innovative service and other valuable programs of 
the National Association of Guide Dog Users.


 Sailing Date: November 6, 2010 (round trip from Miami, FL)

Come enjoy a 7-night cruise aboard the new ship from Norwegian Cruise Lines, 
EPIC, which will make it's maiden voyage in July 2010. Enjoy the amenities 
this beautiful ship has to offer and visit the beautiful ports of St. 
Maarten, St. Thomas, Nassau and Miami, plus two additional days at sea. 
Whether it's the entertainment of Blue Man Group, Fat Cats, The Second City 
Comedy Troupe, the first aqua park at sea, or just relaxing at the spa or in 
a lounge chair at the pool, this cruise has something for every member of 
the family, including the kids.

Also for your entertainment will be Nickelodeon at Sea:

Nickelodeon will be the featured family brand on Norwegian Jewel and 
Norwegian Epic; Norwegian to Offer Annual Nickelodeon Specialty Cruise

NEW YORK-Jan. 13, 2010-Norwegian Cruise Line today announced a new

Nickelodeon-themed family entertainment and programming all year long.

themed-entertainment on the ship.

"Nickelodeon is an incredible family brand that is well-known to kids and 
parents of all ages," said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian's chief executive

family considering a cruise vacation, there is no better value and

"At a time when families are seeking special travel experiences, we see an 
opportunity to build on the success of our previous Nickelodeon cruises to 
create a unique family cruise vacation experience with Norwegian Cruise 
Line," said Howard Smith, executive vice president, Nickelodeon Recreation. 
"By partnering with Norwegian, we are now able to offer families Nickelodeon 
entertainment and programming at sea all year long."

Nickelodeon at Sea will launch on Norwegian Jewel when the ship begins 
sailing from New York in late April, and on Norwegian's latest addition to 
its fleet-Norwegian Epic--when she launches in July. Each cruise will 
feature live Nickelodeon-themed interactive shows, including: SlimeTime 
LIVE! with Nick's signature slime; Nick Live! Poolside entertainment;

Hi Tracy,
Some times this list is busy and other times it isn't.
When folks feel they are doing pretty well with their diabetes.
I am Dar here in Montana,
if I can answer some questions for you, feel free to ask.
Nothing not asked doesn't get answered.
Take care.

Ah. I was afraid I was having a problem because the same thing happened with 
two different lists. I see messages now though, so I guess we are in 
business. (smile)

My name is Tracy and I live in North Carolina. I was just diagnosed with 
type 2 diabetes a week ago yesterday. I am totally blind, 48 years old, been 
around diabetic most of my life. Now all the rules apply to me. (smile) I 
get my glucometer on Monday and go for class on Friday to have instruction 
on how to test my sugar and how to change my diet. I have several books to 
read, and I've joined 3 email lists with other diabetics for information and 
advice. I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Howdy everyone!
I was speaking with Vincent Chaney yesterday, and we threw around the idea of giving something to Gail Bryant in loving memory of Ed.
I would love to make something out of clay, but am open to any ideas.
A plaque seems pretty ordinary, so thought y'all might come up with some different ideas!
We can then present it to Gail at our DAN meeting at National!
Let me know what you think!

Hey Gang:  I'm happy as a pig in mud!!  Thanks Vince!!

Hey Di, I think it's a great plan!!  Maaaaaaaaaavelous as a matter of 
fact!!!  I would think thatif there's anyone out there who can think of some 
flower, some place or something the two of them enjoyed together, or if 
there was a particular bird, or animal, or something, maybe if he enjoyed 
biking, something that delighted the two of them, they could give you ideas 
off-list so she wouldn't get wind of the surprise.  As a matter of fact, 
Mike, Dan, and DAN Board, I think we as a board should do the presentation!! 
That would be just so coooooooool!!!

   No, Ed was never a dog user. His first cane was made from a large tree 
branch.

Do any of you of a lady looking for a roommate? Gail has booked a room but 
is interested in finding someone to share with her.

Thought some of you who are spending a lot on prescription drugs would find this write up at Snopes.com interesting reading and if you have a COSTCO near by might want to try using their pharmacy which is available to non-Costco members ...

Well, I'm certainly disappointed in that I did everything I could to access
this program.  Here's hoping that all the rest of you who attempted to get

Have a great evening.

Paul,

I am disappointed you were not able to obtain the live stream for this 
broadcast. The NFBNJ Thru Our Eyes Internet Radio Shows are also Podcast for 
anyone who may also have had this same issue or just missed the broadcast 
and would wish to hear it. The recorded MP3 version to directly listen to or 
place into any of the Podcasters anyone may use, will be available on 
Friday, May 21. If you also look through the archive link and find the 
titles of Thru Our Eyes, you will find the shows Joe Ruffalo has hosted over 
the last 5 years. The topics generally are NFB, blindness, independence, 
technology, etc and not only relating to New Jersey NFB.
The Website again is: http://www.thruoureyes.org/jaws.html
If you do not at least reach the Web Page by using this link, you may need 
to copy and paste it into your browser. As the Webmaster, I have also 
included the link on the NFBNJ http://www.nfbnj.org Website also.

Well, I'm certainly disappointed in that I did everything I could to access
this program.  Here's hoping that all the rest of you who attempted to get
on the interview got there.

Have a great evening.



Paul

Hi Paul,
I forgot all about the interview.
I don't get up there to listen to any of them,
I keep myself doing other things that doesn't have anything to do with 
the computer.
I am sorry you didn't get to hear it.
Maybe they will have a stream that you could listen to.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Rock Star Bret Michael wins the Celebrity
	Apprentice for his Charity the American Diabetes Association e
Message-ID: <BAY110-DS24DBC7AEACC937767D14AAA1EA0@phx.gbl>

Bret Michaels surprised "American Idol" fans Wednesday night when he 
performed his classic Poison song, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" with Casey 
James.

The 47-year-old rock star, who has suffered life-threatening health problems 
this year, played guitar and sang in the ninth season's finale, which 
doubled as a send-off to outgoing judge Simon Cowell. On Sunday, Michaels 
won "Celebrity Apprentice," earning $250,000 for his selected charity, the 
American Diabetes Association. The singer suffered a near-fatal brain 
hemorrhage in April and was hospitalized again May 20 for a minor stroke, 
unrelated to the hemorrhage.

Just and FYI

Anyone checked out the Bayer Contour  glucose meter? I know its not said to  be audible but wonder as its selling point  is being set up to  connect, USB, with your computer if  this might be an accessible way to use it? I know having to connect everytime to ones computer would be cumbersome but  sounds interesting.
