Insulin 70/30 - I adjust doseage according to my blood sugars
Insulin Regular - I use a sliding scale for doseage (approved by my doctor and worked out by the two of us.) I adjust it according to how I know that my blood sugar reacts, sometimes I do great and other times, I miscalculate.
150 - 200 5 units : 201 - 250 10 units : 251-300 15 units : 301 - 350 units : 351 - 400 25 units : > 400 call!
Zestorectic 25/20 - 1 a day (for my Blood Pressure)
Urocit K 1500mg - for my kidney stones and helps to replace my K with using the low carb diet and taking the diruetics - samples from my urologist
* Prozac 40 my - for my BiPolar and my Fibromyalgia, unfortunately I can't afford to take it, am trying to get free from Lilly, used to get it free from my doctor, but since the generic brand is out, they don't give the docs the samples anymore
* Trazadone 150 mg - for sleep used for my Fibromyalgia and BiPolar, but can't afford
* Restoril 15 mg - for sleep

My Diseases Taken from my profile on Community Zero until I can update it.
| Profile I am a 62 yrs old nurse, retired, not by choice but because of my disabilitys, and I am fat! Big! Portly! Overweight! any thing but OBESE (yikes) and have made a mission and quest of loosing weight and will do what ever it takes to get thin and healthy! I need to loose weight to help control all of my diseases, my life depends on this! My Diseases - in order of diagnosis, not necessairly in order of length of time I have had them. 1. IBS 2. Diabetes 3. Hypertension 4. Arthritis 5. Bi Polar Type II 6. Fibromyalgia, with CFS as a component 7. Vertigo and Labyrinthrits And who knows what else, but they are all interrelated! Which comes first the chicken or the egg. Most of my symptoms stem back from early childhood and from many of the new theroies Come from my Type I personality, hard driven, high energy highly productive and that is gone now and my quest is to conquer all... I firmly belive a lot of it is nutritional related ( and of course heredity and enviromental) Please feel free to join my community, TonsOfFun, I have it restricted to weed out the undersireables, but don't deny anyone until they prove it necessary. I just started it Jan 25, 2002 and am establishing it now.
