There are loads of good information about diabetes out there; make sure you get a good endocrinologist, and keep after your blood sugar testing. There are a lot of diabetic cookbooks out there, too.

The business with the liver dumping glucose happens in cats; that's one thing I learned when I had a diabetic cat. It can, counterintuitively, come from an insulin overdose (at least in cats.)

Good luck! Diabetes is a drag but at least now you know what's wrong.

But the sugar dump explains why my body doesn't react consistently. I would eat and exercise consistently yet sometimes I would feel great and other times extremely tired, sometimes from high blood sugar, sometimes low. And this sounds crazy but not eating on time can cause the blood sugar to rise.

ARGH!

An excellent resource for information about diabetes is the American Diabetes Association website.

You get a class? Wow, the docs just prescribed the metformin and let me be. I've had to research the net to find out what i needed to know. And try to pin the doctors down on what's happening.

Good luck with it.

The classes are good. They helped me and so did Metformin. I did really well on the drug. Then had to stop when I got pregnnt with Laura. Yo will see how much better you will feel. I'm glad they found out what was wrong.
