leonita Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 [Leona, sorry to hear you are diabetic. My dad has just been diagnosed with type 2, but it's really weird, he rarely eats sugar. that's what I have, type 2. there was a time, before I left my husband, when I was so angry at him, I would wake up in the morning & test my blood sugar & it would be over 300! (should have been more like 90) so, extreme stress can be one of the aggravating factors, some people just get it even if they have a perfect diet!

leonita Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 There is a new one called Black Cherry Chutney. I'm going to have to search for Black Cherry. Is it OPI? Between pictures of Mika and my nail polish, my hard drive is full. Not really but I really do need to get photobucket. you're cracking me up! I've never heard of someone so into nailpolish that they keep photos of the colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 thanks. I just wonder how this whole thing started... couldn't be very much fun chatting with just 1 or 2 other people? I think it had its advantages when it was small. You could be away for a day and only have 50 posts to read up! Sorry I am going, really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candboys Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I had gestational diabetes and there was no reason for that. I know it is not the same though, as what you have, Leona. That's my only experience with diabetes. I think my uncle has it though. Got diagnosed later in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check out makeupalley.com, the girls there post and discuss and compare nail polish! Yes, I am a member there too but Mika took over.

That's my only experience with diabetes. I think my uncle has it though. Got diagnosed later in life. Type 2 used to be called "Adult Onset " diabetes, now more people are getting it younger ( or they're just now being diagnosed correctly!!) My Dad & 1 sister have type 1, insulin dependent. I have 1 other sister who got the gestational one, but it never went away, it's classified as type 2 now. and 3 other sisters whom I'm pretty sure have it, but they're too scared to go to the doctor & find out!

Shari Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 That's interesting Leona. I ought to read up about it really. My dad lives an hour away from me, so I should know what to do if an emergency arose. I can't understand how extreme stress would cause it. He lives alone and we lost my mum this time last year, it's been such a hard year for all of us. Christina, I don't know what OPI stands for, but no, this shade is just a bog standard Collection2000 colour. I don't have false nails/extensions, I'm quite lucky with strong natural nails.

Ruth Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 OOHH! What page is it on? Page 11 if you have your page view set like mine! Gestational diabetes? Is that when you only have it while you're pregnant? I had high blood pressure for 4 weeks with number one which went as soon as I delivered, and for three months with number two - that took a year to leave. And not at all with number three till after I'd had her, and I've still got it now. Mind you, I weigh what I weighed at 9 months gone with number one. I reckon I gained a stone per baby! And really Sweet (Mika) Dreams I go, I fly .................. Ruth ~x~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad lives an hour away from me, so I should know what to do if an emergency arose.Yes, that would be great. I can't understand how extreme stress would cause it. He lives alone and we lost my mum this time last year, it's been such a hard year for all of us........... Shari, I'm so sorry to hear about that. the 'anniversaries' are always tough, arent they? (My mom's been gone 9 years, my dad 4 years now) I think that may have something to do with it. Under stress your body has the 'fight or flight" response, makes more sugar, body doesn't really need it, etc. etc. Stress can do an unbelievable number of things to your body. I won't go into any more details, but please, read up on it, it can only help you and your dad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leona, sorry to hear about your condition, but the medication for it today is marvelous, my nieces friends dad has it, and he is incredibly careful about his diet and has great meds for it, and lives a very full life.

Candboys Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I think I am supposed to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't come back, so to speak. It was worrying but everything was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shari Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Yes Leona, it is going to be a strange day 11th March. It has felt wierd ever since she died, but I think it's still the early throes of grieving and getting used to life without her. My Mika birthday would have been in February had mum not gone into hospital and we had our work cut out adjusting to looking after her. Not that I de-cry her that. Sorry I'm getting maudling now. Perhaps I should go....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candboys Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Shari, OPI is just a brand. It stands for something, but I forgot what it is. OK, good night to everyone leaving. I'm still here but kids are home so they jump on if I leave for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shari Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've composed myself now, sorry. OPI, I have just googled and I see what you mean. There is a huge following isn't there? I do like the darker shades myself and I love long nails. Wendi, you think your lead will come tomorrow? What make of camera do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamacatt Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi Patty - don't go Shari - we are fading fast!!!! Hi Wendi! Mustn't fade awayyyyyyy!!! Just reading back a bit. Sorry you've got a sad anniversary coming up Shari. Lost my mom (she was only 52 at the time) to cancer. Our family harbours a huge hole where she used to be. And Kath, hope she's feeling better soon too. So much emotion these past days at the MFC. (not that I'm any sort of authority *looks at join date*) Diabetes is no fun, and can cause awful damage, but certainly treatments/management these days is so much better than it was.
