For most of us the effects of Metformin wear off. Unfortunately it may take a few weeks.

Watch the carbs, test your blood often – it’s especially important now, to see what sets off your blood sugar. Some of us can eat fruits and exotic veggies that others can’t. Exercise as much as you can, testing will show you how immediately exercise helps. A doctor who takes diabetes very seriously and stays up on it is critical. If you have access to an endocrinologist, they’re usually the way to go.

http://www.diabetic-talk.org/ is a really good site for information

You’re far from alone so don’t get too down about it.

Ed, a really good low carb balanced diet is The Zone. It was a best seller about 10 years back. The initial first book is called Enter the Zone by Dr. Barry Sears. The diet is based on equal amounts of fat, carbs and protein. I did it when I was first diagnosed with lymphoma just to clean out my system and feel better. But ii is highly recommended for diabetics. Hope you feel better! :)

Sorry to here about the diagnosis. No more good food for you I guess. But take care of yourself and you’ll be fine.

On a personal note, you may or may not have noticed my absence. I have been diagnosed with an illness as well. It’s called Backtoworkitus. It’s a horrible disease with the most severe side effect being missing your show everyday. It will probably take twenty or more years to recover. But I will catch some of your shows on the rebound.

Again, good luck Ed and stay healthy.

Also, I hope it is just a coincidence that Allah is off at the same time the iPhone is coming out. I seriously hope he isn’t camping outside of his local Apple store!

You know AP; he’s definitely camped out.

Say, that website of yours seems to be on the suspended list.

Sorry to hear, Ed. My dad also was diagnoses with the same a few years ago. Like you said, it’s all about getting on the right meds…he takes 5 or 6 different pills. You’ll have a full medicine cabinet, but you’ll be much better.

Hope you feel better, Ed. My dad’s been diabetic for over 20 years, so our family knows what a pain in the rear type 2 can be. Good luck with your regulation.

Ed, feel better today and in the long term–do whatever the doc tells you to do. We need you around for a long time to come.

And I’m sure your famiy probably does too, sure. Ahem.

Who’s gonna backup today? Any volunteers?

You should get some Taco Bell and get everything moving on its way!

Can we consider this an open thread?

Jazz,

Yes. My intestines are feeling very … libertarian right now.

And yes, I canceled the show to avoid that deer-in-the-headlights moment, also known as the Quayle Debate Syndrome.

The stomach flu part is divine retribution for your failure to support Bob Barr and I in our presidential bid. :-)

Get well soon, Ed.
