Love Diabetes: Are diabetes drugs mind numbing?

http://www.LoveDiabetes.com - The symptoms of hypoglycemia can be unforgiving - confusion, shakiness, blurry vision. Is it possible that the drugs used to treat diabetes impair our brain? Drugs that do not penetrate the blood-brain barrier (like natural insulin) certainly impair our central nervous system in a number of ways. Drugs used to treat diabetes - like biosynthetic insulins made from E.coli - are not readily available to our central nervous system. Is your drug of choice mind numbing? Wouldn't you like a choice in the matter? Please make the world safer for people with diabetes and SUBSCRIBE to Allies Voice!

Nice - you can eat cake LoL. Okay so companies use e.coli and yeast to reproduce the genetically engineered polypeptides to make analogues. It's cheaper 'labor' I guess.

It's no better or worse but it definitely is efficient.

I was looking to find out how they manipulate Eschericha coli via genetic recombination to produce insulin & that is the only reason why I watched this. I can eat cake. I have no idea why I watched this.

Ya i faint a lot when my blood glucose is really low (but that usually happens when i miss meals) -----sometimes seizures can happen -_-

So for those non-diabetic .....EAT...dont miss any meals

I "Very Luckily" woke one night with a severe hypo and pouring with sweat, I won't let that happen again, I think the doctor is out of his mind, I have a very active life with work and have to keep a very close monitor on everything I do, I think I will be aiming my score for more like 10 rather than 7 for what my doc wants, I don't think they really understand.

Thanks allie for another fab post

Funny enough, I just got my 3 month test done and my score was 8 here in the uk, The doctor told me that 7 was perfection and told me it was not good enough and I was too high and made a big drama of it, one of the nurses said that most diabetics would bite my arm off for a reading like mine, the trouble is that, how many hypos must I have to get a score of 7? are they out of thier minds? I already have too many hypos and I don't like it.

Hypoglycemia sucks. It has caused me a ton of pain and panic attacks over the last two years. I think I screwed up my metabolism from being bulimic for a year. I went for a blood test on Friday and I should know by tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure that's what I have. Very little works. Cardio helps slightly. Lifting weights helps a lot. Thats about it. It sucks. I'll probably die soon.

That's great but you're going to have to gloat about your 3" someplace elase. I'm primarily concerned with diabetes-related treatments, buddy! Rock out with your **beep** out somewhere else ;)
