although you have type 2 and you don't use insulin. keep in mind that you'd better be on the higher side than on the lower... it may not be good for the long run but its safer than hitting 50 on the ride up... *** Well, it took several weekends for me to get back out to the dz. I took your advice and got my level up to about 140 before my 1st jump. I checked myself after I got down and packed and I was at 98. I repeated this for a few more jumps with similar results. Now that I have my glucose levels down I really have to watch myself to keep from going low. Quite a difference from living with such high levels all the time! All in all I feel so much better now. Thanks!

This just plain sucks. As a dog lover and owner, I hope they catch the bastards that did this shitty deed. My heart goes out to the little pooches.

It's the new eastern span. I believe they're building it because the old one didn't hold up too well in the 1989 earthquake.

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a week and a half ago. Seems that I've had it for several years. i've been in the sport for 10 years and have never had a problem. When I found out about my diabetes, my blood sugar was at 500. I was prescribed some pills to lower my blood sugar and also got a glucose monitor. I've modified my diet and I'm working out daily and my blood sugar is getting back to the normal level. Well, some ups and downs as I'm still learning what's good and bad for me. Anyway, I can't wait to get to the DZ this weekend to see how, if at all jumping will affect my sugar levels.

Well, I've been lurking here for awhile and thought I'd check in. I'm back jumping after a 3 1/2 year layoff (oh yeah!). I checked out rec.skydiving and it's not what it used to be. I found this forum and this place rocks! Anyway, it's great to be back in this fantastic sport!
