I’m trying to find a program that I ran across last week for people with diabetes for my mom. I told her about it and she forgot the name. I don’t think it’s microburn (or something like that) but I saw it on the walgreens.com website but now I can’t find it. Does anyone know the name of any weight management programs for diabetics? Maybe it will jog my memory.

Non-Raw Diet Management for Diabetic Cat…What do You Feed Your Cat….?
25
May
I am caring for a neighbor’s cat, a 15-16 dsh neutered male. The cat’s owner, after a long surgery recuperation, probably will not be in a position to do a raw diet, or even a homemade one for her cat, even if she were so inclined (we’ve had a few arguments about food). So, I need a KISS diet.
For the background on this situation, please scroll down the category and see my other two posts on this subject — I don’t want to bore anyone by regurgitating the same stuff. Just bear in mind that the woman, after a long surgery recuperation, probably will not be in a position to do a raw diet, or even a homemade one for her cat.
So, after an entire day of researching, (Shirley’s Wellness, Dr.Hodgekins, SnikSnak, you name it, I’ve been there) it seems like there are two very divided schools of thought) (and one sort of in the middleon food for diabetes management in cats. One is a high-carb, low protein diet (in fact Cornell Veterinary School recommends that). The other is a moderate protein, low carb diet, and the other is a high-protein, high fact, moderate carb. I feed my own cats an 80% home-made, about 50% raw, but I am reluctant to get this cat on this type of diets, as, knowing the owner of the cat…it will never happen, but I can probably convince her to feed a primarily wet, good-quality canned food.
So, I want to know what you folks with diabetic cats who do NOT feed raw feed. For those of you who have seen my posts, you know Is give Hills a thumbs down, but when researching food, I am astonished the number of dry foods that claim to be suitable for diabetes, but if a suitable low-carb/low grain dry is available I know this would be a good option for the cat’s owner.
What supplements do you give your cats? I give my cats enzymes, will this be any benefit (I’ve seen nothing about it in the sites).
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Glucose up, renal issues(30-40% loss) but vet says neither are life-threatening at this point and should be able to handle with diet in future. Also had nasty parasites/worms. Vets wants current diet maintained until parasites handled before moving over to all or majority wet + raw as he thinks it will be easier to monitor.
Owner going into nursing facility; daughter handed me $100 to dump cat at shelter or put him down…so I used it instead to go toward tests. Looks like I’ve got myself another elderly cat.
Love this new vet — degrees from U. Glasgow (Scotland) and Cornell — will not declaw, and advocates natural wet/raw diet.
I can’t thank you all enough for your answers — that you answered means a great deal to me and helped calm me down.
I wish I could give everyone Best Answer.
Clarification — Vet wants to see if high glucose, renal numbers stabilize after parasites handled as parasites could be affecting test outcome.
Again, thank you all so, so very much.

Can a Pain Management Clinic kick you out of their program without giving you a 60 day supply of meds?
11
May
My father is a senior citizen. He has a 4 foot square open diabetic wound that has been there for 20+ years. He’s been on oxycontin and percocet for about the last 7 years. He’s asked every month for his meds to be increased since he got a new, additional wound since January. They tried switching him to morphine type pills which he told them from the beginning give him shortness of breath and aren’t as effective. HIs pain needs haven’t been met this year. When he asked to switch pills back again (they tried morphine again), they said yes and then they left him a message that if he doesn’t bring all his pills in for a pill count by 3pm the next day, they are kicking him off of the program. He’s out of state right now and there’s no way we can get the pills there by 3pm tomorrow. He’s not a drug seeker. When his pain has been lower, he calls and asks for a lower dose or to not get the pills at all. I know not meeting his pain needs falls under our state’s elder abuse laws, but what can we do? How can they kick him out without giving him a supply of meds until he finds a new doctor? Really, how can they kick him out at all. The wound’s huge and deep, it’s not like it isn’t obvious that something like that is extremely painful. Please help. They are run by a local hospital. Should I try to call the chief medical officer that oversees the clinic?
creed, you know nothing. So, terminally ill people shouldn’t leave town or their house…ever…even for funerals or other important business???

Ambulatory Care Clinical Skills Program: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Management Module
I have diabetes type 2. I was refer ed to a diabetes self management class. why are they not free.?

I think information that is available for people ailing from any disease should be given this information. Although I do have insurance, I have not met my deductible and this class would cost me $500.00. Just makes me wonder, If I were financialy able, I would pay this amount and use it to manage my disease. If I were poor, then medicaid and/or other social services would pay the bill. But, since I do not fall into these catagories, I guess I’ll deal with it on my own.

SO I am sixteen and I have been diagnosed since the age of 11, Christmas day of that year to be exact. I am in High school and I have the best grade anyone could ever ask for( especially in french) The problem is is that my control isn’t so easy as my school work is to me. There is no class I could take at school to get a better understanding of it either. My blood sugars range from high to low even if I do not eat at all. When I do take insulin I bottom out very often and can’t figure out what is going on. Advice anyone??

Abstract:
Background: As a profession, nurses are particularly concerned with cross-cultural influences that affect the health practices of populations. Although the international literature describes questionnaires and specific scales in health and disease behaviours, adequate Turkish-language instruments are scarce. Therefore, suitable Turkish-language instruments need to be developed or adapted for the Turkis… More >>
