writes: Diabetes itself is simply chronic hyperglycemia. And a house fire is simply the house is very, very hot. Yes. Just about all the consequences of a house fire arise from the extreme heat. Just about all the consequences of diabetes arise from the constant hyperglycemia. Whooosh!!!! Right over your head, what a surprise. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Then you should know very well that hypoglycemia is not a risk for insulin dependent diabetics. In short, know what you are talking about before saying something about it. And yes, I am hypoglycemic. Asymptomatic hypoglycemia is not disqualifying in itself. Never said it did, but being hypoglycemic does give me better insight into the matter, which you do not have. With that, like I said, know what you are talking abotu before saying something about it.

Then you should know very well that hypoglycemia is not a risk for insulin dependent diabetics. Persons taking insulin or oral hypoglycemics for diabetes are always at risk of hypoglycemia if the dosage is incorrect. The risk is high enough that diabetics treating their condition with insulin or medication are advised to keep a source of glucose close at hand, in case they make themselves hypoglycemic. The risks of hypoglycemia and DKA are the bases for the status of diabetes as a generally disqualifying condition if it is treated by insulin or oral medication. Never said it did, but being hypoglycemic does give me better insight into the matter, which you do not have. No, it does not, any more than being pregnant makes one a qualified obstetrician. Additionally, nobody is simply "hypoglycemic"; there is always a cause for symptomatic hypoglycemia and it is virtually never a continuous state. Prolonged symptomatic hypoglycemia can cause brain damage, and must be aggressively treated and corrected. Asymptomatic hypoglycemia is harmless in itself but merits investigation. The most common cause of hypoglycemia in adults is an overdose of insulin during treatment for diabetes. Symptomatic hypoglycemia may justify denial for medical certification, until and unless the cause of the hypoglycemia can be identified and corrected so as to prevent acute episodes during flight. At one time (1970s mostly, I believe), "hypoglycemia" was a fashionable condition, like fibromyalgia or peanut allergies, but its popularity has waned today. As with all fad illnesses, most of the people who thought they had it didn't. |

Mark writes: No really. With today's epidemic of diabetes it's not uncommon for police to intercept drivers who have become totally disoriented and incapacitated due to low blood sugar. Hypoglycemia is mainly a risk for insulin-dependent diabetics, who represent only a small minority of diabetics (particularly when one considers only those who are especially at risk of hypoglycemia). There are some jurisdictions that prohibit diabetics from driving, although that's an extreme overreaction with no justification in reality. Also, the idiots who drive under the influence are "medically incapacitated" while they're high on booze or drugs, which account for a large percentage of accidents. Alcoholism and drug addiction is considered a disease. Substance abuse is a choice that one makes independently of uncontrollable medical factors. Alcohol is a leading cause of automobile accidents, but nothing forces anyone to drink alcohol. Wonderful...Now he's a medical expert too? |

I would strongly recommend trying this to any pilots who are looking to fight these problems, stay off or get off meds, and retain your medical. I urge you to message me. Everyone needs to know about this stuff. It is NOT a scam, or gimmick. Mary |

In my search to help these people, I have come across a supplement that lowers cholesterol, b/p, triglycerides, and manages blood sugar/insulin ratios. I tried this myself, sure that it must be a scam because it sounded too good to be true, as nurses and doctors are trained to be very skeptical about things like this. I have had very good results, and have started recommending it to my patients, friends and family. And they, too, are having great results with it. Even to the point of getting off their meds. For about $2 a day. I am now a firm believer in this stuff, and will share the information with anyone and everyone, as who wouldn't want to change their health without meds and their side effects. email me and i will be happy to share this info. with you.
