Hi everyone,

My name is Dave Gair - 34 year old teacher in the UK. Diagnosed as a NIDD
(is that Type II?) diabetes in August 1997. Diet controlled at the moment
and hoping to stay that way … Hoping to find out plenty about NIDD and
diet from this list and any recommended websites!

Regards,

Dave

Hi Sam:

I just did a websearch on this product. 80 tablets = $40 Rather expensive.
But if it works, it’d be worth it. I’m interested to know, too, if it does
work. If you hear anything other than here, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi,
I really appreciate the concern from those of you that wrote via the one-list.
I also received 6 emails (personally) from people that said they were also on
the diabetescured one list. I assume this is correct or they would not know of
my background.

I do not mean to sound mean or critical, but the emails were more on a religious
note, not dealing with what I thought this list was about at all. I never have
judged another persons religious and I am not about to start now. I did not
join this list as a religious forum. I appreciate those of you wanting to pray
for my recovery and for me to learn to love Christ and that would enable me to
love myself more and I could lose the weight. The truth is, I am not
Christian.. I have no problem with Christianity, its just not my path. If I am
not welcome as a Wiccan with diabetes, then so be it, I will leave. But I do
suggest that in the future, when you describe your list, you mention that it is

Hello
I am a 53 yr old female, with insuline dependent diabetes. I am also suffering
from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and am overweight. I quit smoking 3
years ago, after which I developed the high blood pressure, and oh did I mention
it also came after gaining 60 pounds.. yeah, I know.. but one day I was just a
little plump and then out of the clear blue sky, I was fat//make that morbidly
obese. Honest! Well, maybe I did over eat a little. <grin> Anyway, I started
on the insulin about the same time as the blood pressure medicine. I first
developed diabetes just a short while after my son died, that was in 1979. I
seemed to have it under control and in 1986, I lost my second son. Again, I
worked through it with no insulin, even though I did gain weight. We moved from
our home, away from family, friends etc.. and thats when things really started I
guess. The stop smoking just caused the weight to climb faster. Now, I suffer
from chronic fatigue syndrome as well, boy I am a messed up lady.. depressed..
don’t want to do anything or go anywhere. I am just at my wits end.. and I need

Hi,

My computer had problems and I had to take it to a shop to be repaired and I
lost all my old messages.

Does anyone still have the details on oxygen therapy please.

It was mailed in connection to a message on bladder/urine infections about

Chromium / Type I diabetes

Monday, January 20th, 2003

Hi Nancy,

Everything about Chromium seems to be directed to
type II diabetes - would it be beneficial to type I? I
am trying to cut down my current insulin dosages.

Thanks for all the interesting information.
