Diabetes & Byetta

Here is a web site with recipes:

Taming the Diabeastie

Well, I should no better than to post something and not check it first.

BMI is Body Mass Index. It is accessible at nhlbisupport.com/bmi. It will
give you a result, which is a number. Then go to the suggested pages and find
your suggested weight. My BMI number is 27. That would indicate overweight. I
weigh 165, I am 5.5 so that means I have to lose 15 lb. and reduce to 150. That
is my goal weight.

I just spoke with Frank, the owner and producer of Golden Barley Cereal, and
he gave me the update on the website for the product, I think someone else
also corrected the URL. It is: whole-control.com
this is different from the one I originally gave you. He says David Mendosa
is one of their best customers. Glycemic index is 25. It is also delicious.

1. Byetta: we call it Gilly, Lizard Spit, and a few others names, some of which
can be printed here. We call ourselves Lizard Lovers.

2. The nausea will pass. Until it does try:
- sea bands for motion sickness. They are bands that go around your wrists and
use acupressure to releive nausea. They can be purchased at CVS, Walgreens and
similar stores. At Walgreens they are called Travel Ease.
- Regalin and other prescription drugs
- crackers, pretzels, or other dry carbs
- GINGER! Ginger snaps, ginger gum, ginger ale, ginger pills
- mint, as in peppermint candy
- try eating less fat or less greasy food
- try eating less. Most people get more nuaseaus on a full stomach
- some report that folic acid helps
- try to think like a lizard. Avoid waht would make a lizard nauseaus

For those who are looking for a gila monster to put by your computer, on
your dining room table, or on your plate. <g> (I have no financial

<<Can a cat get salmonella from eating raw chicken like people can? I just
wondered because I have 10 cats. Mine eat dry and canned cat food. Janet>>

Janet,
I have been feeding my cats and dogs a raw food diet for 10 years and they are
all thriving on it. The intestinal system of a dog or cat is so short that the
food passes through much more quickly than it does in a human. There is a ton of
info about this online so just do a google search. My dogs had raw chicken wings
for supper tonight, in fact. They absolutely LOVE them! (***CAUTION: Do not
ever, ever feed your dog COOKED bones of any kind and especially not chicken.
They are sharp and may puncture their intestines. Raw bones are very pliable.)

It’s probably the size of a bottle bag for a baby.

Also - how did you pack it to keep the pen cold AND how many hours
would this last?

Thanks for the repeat. I just realized that there is a Target pretty
close to me and I’m about to pitch that freebie from Amylin out in the
trash - worthless!

I am a big city girl married to a farm boy. When we were dating he
took me to meet his friends. It just so happened they worked at a
slaughter house. The day we went to visit they were slaughtering pigs.
I didn’t realize that they killed the pig and skinned it with the head
still on. It took me 3 months before I could eat pork again. I had a
small ham steak in the freezer. Every time I took it out I saw that
naked little piggy face and thought not today!!!
The only other thing that bothered me was they had pigs in a pen in
the same room. I thought that was kind of mean. Susan in Ohio

I dont’ know what this is, although I take from the context that it is
a high protein diet. I can’t go on a high protein diet as I don’t eat
meat, except a little fish. When I was younger (and thinner) I didn’t
eat any animal by-products, although now I eat some dairy products. I
was a vegan from the time I was about 7 or 8 until I was 29. I am 110%
convinced that had I never taken up any animal products, I would
never have gained a bunch of weight, nor become diabetic. My parents
say I eschewed any animal products (except cheese) from the time I was
about 3 and found out that animal products came from relatives of
dogs, cats and zoo animals. I cannot stand the thought that something
dies so I can eat it, and only eat fish because I’m convinced that
they lack sensience. (However you spell it).

In answer to the questions regarding my blood sugar — Often in the
morning when I wake up, it’s about 120 - 140, which doesn’t seem to
(more…)

Hello this is Sandra (not yet on Byetta)
This mornig my B.S. was 58 so i wll not be taking any meds now..i take
glyburide..i was taking 2 tab. DR. told me to take one now. I ate a piece of
toast with peanut butter and some peaches to get it up. I hate this cause i am
not even hungry. 1. What else can i do in the morning when low b. sugar?…need
to lose weight!
2. How will this effect me wheni start BYETTA if i already have low blood sugar
and take the shot? Will i go lower yet ? kinda scares me. It is soo scary to
have lows where you can’t even think straight!
Also i am not very good at figuring out what i should eat!
Thanks so all the help.
Funny when you have been reading the post for a while all of you seen like such
good
friends!

Hi John,

The whole control site (maybe an org, not a com?) is a maze of links that lead
to links that lead to more links that never seem to go anywhere and I’m "Miz
Internet Researcher" so could ya be a pal and give me a "deep link" to the
specific page that lists info on Whole Control Golden Barley Cereal? Just
googling Whole Control Golden Barley Cereal doesn’t work well as I get onto the
links merry-go-round again.

TIA,
Marsha
