Tom’s Little Book

Hi, my name is Tom.
I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and can't help feeling cheated, frustrated and downright angry. This little book showed me that there are plenty of other Type 2s that suffer emotionally as well as physically with the disease. In interviews with over 100 people, I find myself again and again. Thanks for the experiences, strengths and hopes people shared with the author !
Thank You for My Healing

If you're tired of being financially exploited by doctors and drug companies while you suffer from this entirely curable condition, then this is the book you may need to read...
Natural Body Support

My Grandma was a great believer in natural remedies. Despite all of her challenges in life she always cared for her body ... People asked "What's your Secret Ann?" Well she always said "My relationship with our beautiful Nature" and then she smiled.
What's this Ann?

Researchers Training Dogs to Save Lives of Those Suffering from Diabetes

Posted under 8) Diabetes Dog by admin

British researchers are training dogs to save the lives of people suffering from diabetes. Diabetics can perish if their sugar levels drop to critical levels resulting in hypoglycemic shock. Special dog training techniques are being implemented in training a dog to sense the warning signs that occur preceding a critical diabetic event. This dog behavior training appears to be working well.

Dog Saves Diabetic Owner!

Posted under 8) Diabetes Dog by admin

Don Callahan rescued his four-legged companion, Wyatt Earp, at an adoption fair held at the Detroit Zoo five years ago. Now, Wyatt Earp has returned the favor.

On January 23, Callahan collapsed while on a walk with the dog by Rotary Park on 13 Mile Road. Drivers and pedestrians couldn’t see Callahan as he lay in the dark on the sidewalk.

His loyal companion stayed by his side and barked incessantly. Finally, someone called the police about the dog being a nuisance. When police responded, they found Callahan and rushed him to the hospital.

Callahan who is a diabetic, went into a coma after his blood sugar level dropped to 18, far below normal levels.

Besides being thankful for Wyatt Earp, Callahan says he is thankful to Marlene Burgess who called the police about the barking dog, which brought him the help he so greatly needed.

Callahan is recuperating at home with Wyatt Earp right by his side.

How much exercise is too much for a dog with diabetes?

Posted under 8) Diabetes Dog by admin

I have a 20 pound pomeranian mix, and I’m riding my bike to lose weight. Can I bring my dog with me, and for how long? He loves to run and be active, but I’m just not sure if he should be as much as he has. The doctor hasn’t gotten his insulin right yet, so I’m kind of worried.

Be real careful. Exercise is like free insulin because it burns up sugar. If your dog has insulin in it’s system from a shot and the blood sugar levels are near normal and you exercise, the combination could be deadly. The exercise will burn up glucose in the blood but if there is insulin working at the same time, the body can’t break down sugar and fats fast enough to keep the blood sugar from falling too fast so you have low blood sugar and that can be very bad. I would suggest only moderate exercise and never long runs like that such as a bike ride. If you see the dog getting disoriented or unusually anxious, it might need to eat something froma low. It’s a tough problem. Good luck.
