Do you have a picture? I would love to see a picture. (You can send it off
list if the list does not allow pictures.

If you are a little bit handy/crafty you can make your own medical alert
bracelet. I bought an inexpensive one at Walgreen’s ($4.95) and turned it into a
watch and wear it whenever I go out. You can also buy some beads at a bead or
hobby store and make your own bracelet. I’ve also seen red dog tags for sale
online for about $20 that you can have imprinted with medical information.
Paramedics and EMTs are trained to look for those items on a person’s body

before administering medicine. Always a good idea to have one.

Subject: [Diabetes_And_Byetta] DeWayne McCulley and His book

Hi…

After reading the posts here yesterday about this man and his website/book,
i did a search on his name. The Diabetes Monitro came up and when i went to
the site, i found that he was on the panel of experts along with David
Mendosa. So, I wrote to Mr. Mendosa and asked him if he could recommend Mr.
McCulley’s book. I received an email back from David stating that he didn’t

know anything about Mr. McCulley and had referred my email to Dr. William
Quick. His reply was that the record for the highest BG was 5600 after the
ER physician had mistakenly given someone in a diabetic coma 50% dextrose
solution in their iv not once but twice (see andrew!!! Glad you got that
card, it does ease my mind!) Anyway, i wrote back to Dr. Quick and told him
it was not so much the BG level I was worried about but the fact that Mr.
McCulley had used the word "cure" several times on his website and in this
ads for his book. I then received this CC from Dr. Quick. (I’ve left the
links in case you want to read more.)

"DeWayne:

I recently received an e-mail concerning your website, and its liberal use
of the word "cure"

At DiabetesMonitor.com, you never used that word:

DeWayne McCulley

DeWayne McCulley is an engineer who works for a Fortune 500 systems company
in Upstate NY. In 2002 his life took a drastic turn when he was stricken
with a diabetic coma and a blood glucose level of 1337.

DeWayne used his engineering and biochemistry background to wean himself off
the insulin and other drugs to lower his average glucose level and his
hemoglobin A1C back to the normal ranges. He credits his recovery to God,
his doctors and nurses, his mother, his daughter, a set of unexplained
accidents (blessings) and his undying thirst for knowledge - all guiding him
through his recovery. DeWayne has written a book that explains his wellness
strategy with medical references from more than 250 clinical studies. His
hope is that his wellness strategy (at

Reversal) will help people the way he was helped — by people he would never
have met if it weren’t for his experience with diabetes.

DeWayne, I cannot in good conscience support any claim that there’s a "cure"
for diabetes, and feel that I must remove both the biosketch and the essay
unless you retract the claim on your website that you have a way to

Reverse the curse . . . reverse, cure, beat your Type 2 diabetes!

Any feedback would be appreciated; otherwise I will delete them this
weekend.

Thanks.

I am a computer admin. I guess they would use the data port in the
back of my neck to do the information download.

Oh wait. Am I confusing real life with the movie The Matrix?

If it eases your mind, I have a MedicAlert ID card in my wallet.

In addition to the necklace with the ID code on the back, they also provide
you with an ID card the size of a credit card.

Andrew….

Okay…you are walking down the street, and suddenly you feel faint. You
have a terrible headache…and down you go….you’ve had a stroke. You
can’t move or speak. Now….how do they download the information from your
head? You bracelet is in a drawer somewhere waiting to be repaired. You
can’t tell them a thing. First thing they do is start an iv….uh oh….is
that saline or glucose???? hmmm…..

Now you know that is a rather extreme example, but Andrew things like that
happen everyday. Get you bracelet fixed and at least carry a card saying

what your meds are.

I used to wear a bracelet. (mental note to get that clasp fixed,
finally). But, I don’t expect the cops will spend time checking for
bracelets while they are busting you for DWI or whatever. They would
only find it they are processing you at the jail house.

To answer your question, I don’t keep a list of anything anywhere,
other than my head. Please, no one tsk tsk me for that.
