Has anyone else experienced this?
I have been a type 2 diabetic for 25 years and have been under control. The diabetes, however, did manage to ravage many parts of my body, including my kidneys. Now I am on PD.
The problem is that I'm pumping all of this sugar water into my body and my sugars are goi g up. My glucose level is 100 points higher and my Ha1c has jumped over a point. I can't take much more sugar out of my diet. What can I do?

I am type 2 since 1993, and I am also on PD. Not the best option for diabetics, they tell me, but it's good for me. I can get some of my life back with PD that was taken away via HD (which is what I started out with).
At any rate, what are you on for your diabetes? I take insulin several times a day, depending on the meal. I really only eat once a day...with maybe a small snack here and there.
Let me know and we'll talk.

I am on Actos 30mg QD and eating a standard 3 meals + snack per day. I like Actos because it doesn't cause hypoglycemia and gives me no problems. I'd rather not have to go on insulin or one of the other meds that can cause low blood sugar--I've been there and it's no fun. I have an appointment next month with my endocrinologist and I guess I'll have to wait and see what he says.
Thanks for the comeback. --Bruce
