I am diabetic and live life as a normal person. I take my avandamet 1/500 three times a day and check my blood . If you are stable with your treatment you should be ok. I mean a few months ago they ( the FDA ) took avandamet off the market and i had to change meds. I was screwed up BAD!!!!!!! I was on glucovance and the doctor didnt get the dosage right and brother let me tell you i almost didnt wake up. my wife tried to wake me and i was super groggy . my glucose level was 60! After a orange and a few other things i was ok. The meds caused my insulin level to shoot up and sank me like a rock!
Be aware of the feelings of low levels. I would get weak ,sweaty and even dizzy. EAT something quick! even the stuff your not supposed to eat.

I have thought long and hard about it . they say you should be around 95 . i don't like the way i feel when my glucose level is there . I have more energy around 115 to 140. I have even adjusted my meds and food to try and stay in that range (it's not easy!) . The doctor said my A1C 's are good so keep doing it.

Just prepare and live life . Don't stop doing stuff you love!!!!!!

You know It is bad enough to hear all the stuff that it does and the reality is our lives may be cut short by it. I realize this and have decided i am going to live as i want . I take my meds and watch but i am not going to say "oh i better not go cause i might have a problem!)
Prepare a little and go enjoy!!!!!!!

Hey Just my opinion I would rather die having a blast outdoors then die in a hospital or nursing home anyday! And we all are going to die huh??????

Enjoy!
