| What does your Metformin smell like? Chris J . 22:59:13 |
| |
I've noticed a fish-like smell from my last two bottles of metformin.
I've never noticed this before, but this last bottle is very
noticeable.
I'm rather concerned about this as I'm highly allergic to seafood.
I've been trying to find information on how metformin is made, but
nothing so far.
The metformin with the smell was from Walmart. previously, I've bought
it from Costco and didn't notice a smell.
Has anyone else noticed smelly metformin?

| Omega-3 salad Anon 08:03:33 |
| | I just had my omega-3 salad for dinner tonight. I try to have it twice a
week.
I fill a large salad bowl with baby spinach and spring mix greens. I add a
handful of black olives. Sprinkle with red wind vinegar, then top with a can
of sardines packed in fish oil. I use King Oscar Extra Small Sardines packed
in salmon oil. Add the oil from the can to the salad to complete the
dressing.
I eat it with as many ak-mak 100% whole wheat stone ground sesame crackers
as my carb allowance allows.

| Is the Hb1AC or my meter lying? YAMAQ (Yet Another Meter Accuracy Question) Guest 15:57:24 |
| | So I got a recent Hb1AC and it was 6.2, which my doctor was pleased
with. The strange thing is that my meter never reports below 120 to
130, and sometimes after meals it's around 200-220. This was true last
quarter as well, and my Hb1AC then was 6.5.
As I understand it, the Hb1AC is a "3 month average" and is more
accurate than any home meter. I'm wondering if perhaps some people
just "test high" on their meters? Or if, on the other hand, I have
spikes every day that don't show up on the Hb1AC...
The meter is an Accu-Check Advantage, about 3-4 years old. I just did
a glucose control test and the results are:
Level 1 (Normal range 45-75): mine read 55
Level 2 (Normal range 275-375): mine read 302
So they're both in the range. But does that mean that the meters are
+/- 30 points at the low end of the scale and as the glucose increases,
so does the inaccuracy, up to +/- 100 points?
I don't feel like spending $100 to get another meter and I don't have
any diabetic friends to double-check on their meters.

| Blood Sugar Normalizing John 21:36:35 |
| | Thanks to Roex Products PC-95 and Ester-C. I took about 6 tablets a day of
PC-95 and 9 tablets a day of Ester-C and it has brought my sugar blood
levels down from 110 to 80-90.
Now my readings each day are below 100, unlike before. I was taking
Glucophage (Metformin) and basically did nothing for me.

What's worse is that some of you less intelligent types that frequent

I feel sorry for those who utterly lack discernment...

| OT Sleepy Cape: was Re: Pneumonia T2_lurking 07:53:19 |
| | Hee-hee, this is too much. Yes I was a linecook at Yarmouth with Charlie
Ciffilli? I was there when he split to start his own rest with Dave
Norton.This was probally '81. I was a huge stinky deal, the Catania's called
everyone in and basically made everyone swear a loyalty oath. My problem was
that my wife was a prepcook with Steve Furbish (Furby) at Yarmouth and she
left to go with Charley. It was a wild time, lots of smoke etc...
Later on we discoverd that Charlie really screwed us by NOT filing his state
income tax.
He was arrested and sent to jail, and when he got out barricaded himself in
his rest and finally went looney.
Of course my days at H&K were numbered, they finally fired me (Rick Plumb
the big brown-noser) for having a dirty uniform too many times.
There's no doubt in my mind that we've at least nodded to each other at some
point. I used to be sent to help out at Main Street H&K and DW all the time.
All I can remember about the Hyannis H&K was there was a red-headed guy who
was sometimes a manager and sometimes a cook. It was a storefront and had a
funny little kitchen.
Back in 82 my wife and I worked for Billy Snowden and managed the kitchen at
the Windjammer, til he went under, for about the 50th time. After that it
was off to CA (Santa Cruz) where we were told that the streets were paved
with gold. Tee-hee-hee.
My Mom gives me a subscription the the Cape Codder every year (it arrives
about 3 weeks late) and I see stuff about the Catania's all the time.
Small World.
btw: nice weather they've had this year...eh

There is no reason to call cognitively challenged physicians mentally
unbalanced.
Again, as soon as we hear about physicians who are unable to understand
the principles of the 2PD-OMER Approach, we'll start a list and make
this list accessible on the Web. However, the need for such a list
remains unlikely else it would have arisen back more than 7 years ago
in 1998 when the Approach was first published on the Web.
May GOD continue to heal your heart, dear neighbor Al.
Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

G'day G'day Folks,
An article in Science News caught my attention that has such special
significance for T2 diabetics that I decided to pop in briefly to
share it with you. As many of you will be aware the supplement
industry pushes synthetically manufactured antioxidants and sadly most
of them don't work as advertised. The problems are many fold. In
some cases it is that the molecules have the wrong stereochemistry.
As most people are aware the manufacture of proteins in our bodies is
controlled by DNA and all genetically controlled proteins are L type.
Nature is viciously efficient. There is only one winner. The whiners
aren't around after many generations. <grin>
If we manufacture proteins synthetically we get mixtures of D and L
type. Nature is never that inefficient. Reactions in our bodies are
guided by enzymes and to fit the active hole in the enzyme the stereo
chemistry must be perfect or else the molecule will act as a
competitive inhibitor. It is either fit perfectly or interfere with
the good guys. That is how it is for proteins and the same applies
for other molecules like antioxidants.
Hope I haven't been talking too technically.
The point is wrong shaped molecules will actually inhibit the right
shaped molecules from taking part in the reactions they were meant to
take part in.
As I see it, most supplements will not only be a waste of money they
will actually stuff up the action of the genuine molecules.
The following article relates pomegranate juice to the development of
prostate cancer, so you might be wondering why it is particularly
relevant to T2 diabetics. Not much except it jogged my memory.
http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20060812/food.asp
The regulars here will know that cholesterol gets twice as nasty if
the LDL is allowed to become oxidised and glycated (pickled by high
blood sugar levels).
Preventing LDL oxidation is roughly equivalent to halving one LDL
levels. Since coronary heart disease is THE big killer for T2
diabetics you may be beginning to see the relevance to readers here.
I once posted a quiz in which readers were invited to guess which of
some popular antioxidants would actually reduce the risk of LDL
oxidation. The point is most antioxidants that work great in test
tubes simply don't work in humans. Unfortunate things happen to them
before they get to do their business. If I recall correctly,
pomegranate juice was one of the few that actually worked.
Put simply, the polyphenols in pomegranate actually get in and do the
job.
Are all polyphenols be the answer?
That we WON'T know until each of them is tested individually.
We do know that some foods rich in polyphenols such as walnuts give
and increase of three to five years of quality life expectancy.
Let's wildly assume for the moment that polyphenols might be part of
the answer.
Will you rush out and buy polyphenols? I hope not.
antioxidant/100gm
Pecans. 17940
Mexican red beans 14920
Red kidney beans 14412
Walnuts 13542
Pinto beans 12358
Hazel nuts 9644
Cranberries 9456
Artichoke hearts 9430
Wild blueberries 9260
Prunes 8578
Black beans 8540
Pistachio nuts 7987
Black plums 7340
Blackberries 5348
Raspberries 5048
Almonds 4454
Black eyed peas 4342
Red delicious apples 4257
Granny Smith apples 3899
Dates 3896
The numbers come from the US department of agriculture so could be
quite different in other countries where other varsities are grown
with different growing conditions. IMHO the first digit or two is
about all that is meaningful. Whole grain bread scores 1421
While pecans will grow in New Zealand I have yet to see any for sale.
Hopefully even if you are new to keeping your LDL happy you will
consider nuts (assuming you're not allergic to them) beans and berries
as healthy items to include in your diet. At least they will
contribute to a balanced diet.
They might cost a bit but IMHO they are a vastly better investment
than supplements.
BTW. I am getting a couple of paid hours employment per day but I
find even that tiring, so please accept that I may pop in from time to
time in the weekends because I enjoy it while devoting most of the
week to doing what I need to do to get by.
Best wishes,
