Good news: we convinced our daughter to try the insulin pump. As you know from my previous blogs, we had brought the horse to water but were having trouble getting her to drink. I had tried every rational argument possible with her, and she was respondingby trying every pre-teen argument possible...

    Mary Kate, I don't expect that this will be the first time you've heard some say it, but many diabetics choose not to use the pump for what they perceive to be very good reasons. In my case, not only did one of the pump's co-inventors confide in me that I shouldn't use it, but I have come to the conclusion after careful study that I could find no real advantages to a pump over injections. As an active person, the idea of something hanging off me wasn't appealing and felt somewhat like a violation. Finally, even the most sophisticated pump currently available (the Medtronics) needs to be calibrated twice a day with blood sugar tests, which, to me, are the only painful part of my daily regimen. In other words, if your daughter doesn't want a pump, please don't push too hard. As a long time diabetic, I understand her point of view. - Dave Klingler

    Mary,

     

    Have you ever heard of a product called Monavie?  A family we know has a diabetic little girl that was taking 3 insulin shots a day.  They were introduced to this juice, which is all natural, made up of 19 fruits including the ACAI berry.  They started her on the juice, 2oz in the morning and 2oz at night.  Their daughter is now down to 1 shot a day ( and that was back 4 months ago, I have not seen them lately).

    They credit this juice. The Acai Berry's low glycemic index improves glucose and lipid levels in diabetics. Also in diabetics, weak capillaries can lead to a condition called retinopathy, which often leads to blindness. The Acai berry helps to protect capillaries. The anythocyanins an the acai berry protect small and large vessels, including veins, arteries and capillaries.As a mother, I would try whatever I thought would help my child.  I am not trying to sell you on this just making you aware of what is out there that has worked for another family.

    Hi,
    I have suffered from similar issues and more like VERY HIGH SUGAR, migrane, less energy,
    high stress, high sugar & cholestrol, sleeplessness, joint pains. I am 37 years of age and could not work for long hours because i used to get tired very easily. However 6 months back somebody asked me to have super charged biodisc water everyday. I had tried all options before and thought that this would be my last try. I had bought 2 biodiscs and been having the biodisc water-4 litres everyday and today i am totally normal. You may find out somebody who has a biodisc and ask him to give you 4 bottles of charged water everyday.I use it for different purposes, even watering my plants, keeping it in the fridge, keep below the pillow for better sleep, my sister who is an air hostess, just carries it with her to avoid jetlag. It is a wonderful wellness product.The BioDisc and other bio products are created based on the technology of bio-molecular science. These products create bio-molecular structures within liquids and emit bio-frequency. This in turn reform the liquid to peak condition. Made out of special glass meterial the same as found infront of the Space Shuttle.All the swimming pools of the 6-star Burj-al-Arab Hotel in Dubai, uses the the same technology of the BioDisc to energise their swimming pool water.These mineral generates a natural lifeforce bio-frequency resonant also known as 'chi' energy. Rose farmers in Australia uses BioDisc technology to create energised water from the desert salt water to be used in their farms. It has changed my life. If you have any question, I would be glad to help- mail me at [email]sayan_2904@hotmail.com[/email]
