Moving Forward with Diabetes

They keep up with it now

I I don't know much about diabetes or diabetes nutrition. However, this morning I found this health article - Diabetes Nutrition: Including Sweets in Your Meal Plan.
You can check out this article from the Mayo Clinic app. http://applnk.mayoclinic.org/Pdszexr

I hope this will provide some useful information that you might apply to you individual nutritionn planning.

Good morning everybody I am happy to report I have a new endocrinologist and just with the first day of him adjusting my pump I have never seen these numbers in so long I am so ecstatic and happy that I'm on the road to having good numbers I have felt better in the last few days and I'm just happy and I thank all of you for your replies and suggestions and I'm just praying everybody on these groups get healed. But is really great to have a doctor that does not give up on you that encourages you. My doctor before actually said he didn't think he could do anything else and I'm like I know diabetes can be to some death sentence but not for me I am going to fight this to The Bitter End I am so ecstatic and I thank you all again and have a blessed day

@lovette26 I am so glad you found a doctor who is willing to help. That is so important and the dr. and you become a team to deal with your diabetes. The good, caring doctors are harder and harder to find; most I've seen are just like robots---so disappointing. Thank the Good Lord you found a good one,
Carol

Hello @luluwa and welcome to Mayo Connect. I see that you asked how Vitamin D helps. Here is an article from Mayo Clinic's website about why Vitamin D is important. Just click on the link to read the article,

@luluwa, Do you have a low Vitamin D level?

@lovette That's great news, I am so happy for you. It's so important to have a great doctor. I like mine a lot, he's very highly thought of. I see him next week.

I had olfactory hallucinations for years, smelling campfires. I have now lost my sense f smell entirely. Bummer..

Some research shows a link between loss of smell or loss of taste and future dementia such as Alzheimers. Also hoarders can be on their way to dementia because it is a mental disorder usually caused by traumatic distress in their lives. My late husband couldn't smell sour food so I had to be careful with freshness of cottage cheese which he covered with loads of French dressing. If I told him it was not fresh he would eat the bad food just to try to prove me wrong. He was able to smell the broken gas line in the yard, however. I think he had hallucinations as well and then was normal at other times. He never was diagnosed because he also slipped through our fingers on his health problems, living in denial until he was paralyzed. He lied about everything to the week before he died, then was unconscious for a week. I hope I am not upsetting anyone, but our long lives depend upon living in reality. There is help out there for everyone. Dorisena
