Just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes...sm

I would really love to hear from others who have diabetes and any tips on how to live with it. I just got my testing supplies, a diet guidelines, but now have no idea what to do from here. Of course my health insurance as of tonight at midnight ends for two months, as I had to switch companies, so hope that does not cause any problems, but we will have to see. Please feel free to email me or post here. Thanks.

They probably still want it as type II diabetes. nm

yes, but also could be diabetes.

It is odd, though, that the pody couldn't prounounce diabetes mellitus, since they do foot care f
Diabetics aren't even supposed to trim their own toenails because of the peripheral neuropathy and chance of self injury, so podiatrists usually have a large patient base of diabetics just for basic foot care, not particularly injury or surgery.
Then again, a lot of diabetics don't ever pronounce "diabetes" correctly, LOL. My favorite is "diabeetress."
Diagnosed w/deQuervain's
I've just been diagnosed this week with deQuervain's tenosynovitis. I've gotten a splint (very awkward!) and have been prescribed anti-inflammatories. Are there any exercises to do to help w/this? My doctor mentioned PT, but I wasn't ready to go just yet. Surely don't want to have to undergo surgery--thanks very much for any information or personal experiences!
Have you been diagnosed with occipital neuralgia?
I have been diagnosed with every headache there is. I have had 7 surgeries this last 1 1/2 years plus am on multiple medications. I even went so far as to have a C2 neurectomy, which was unsuccessful. My next surgery is hopefully my last. I have an occipital stimulator placed, which works wonders for the headaches and pain in the back of my head. I have to have it hooked up agan, as they removed the wires due to an 8-month long postop infection when I had the wire revised. For frontal ones, I get Botox injections every few months. Not only am I a sufferer but I transcribe for a headache and pain clinic. Feel free to post to me.
You can get rebound headaches, especially if you are using Excedrin Migraine or more than two Fioricet a day. For other people like me, it is a combination of things that are causing them.
Good luck!
Thanks for the article. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have been...sm
having trouble adjusting and trouble finding a doctor who understands. If others with fibromyalgia wish to correspond, I will post my email address. There are no fibromyalgia support groups in my area and corresponding with someone who understands would be great!
Coffee is a stimulant. My oldest was diagnosed with
severe ADHD. Meds didn't work and made his heart race to the point that he was very uncomfortable. He is now 16 and learned coping skills, but he has been off meds since he was 8. I always tells parents of newly diagnosed children to try giving their child coffee or Mountain Dew on a weekend when they have nothing else going on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it makes the kids bouncing balls, which is why you don't want to have any other plans that day.
The drugs are so bad if you can come up with an alternative it would be so much better. The nurse at our doctor's office told me to take a pill one time to see what my child was experiencing and it was not pleasant.
In time past my child was diagnosed
with a disease that is catastrophic. He was in college and quit that day. I was employed in hospital setting and immediately sat up Cobra, and carried it for about 4 months I think until which time he got a job and got his own medical insurance. My insurance covered as long as the child was in college. I knew with the disease if no insurance bridge would never be able to be covered again and with the cost of the medications needed just an overwhelming thought and even though I have money, would never be able to cover the costs of thousands every month to be paid out.
I have diagnosed myself with motivation necrosis, possibly secondary to DQS. SM
I hope it's not terminal. Not old enough to retire yet. Anyone else with this sickness?
Has anyone noticed lately that there has been a lot of people diagnosed with breast cancer?
or is it just my imagination?
I'm wondering how you came to the conclusion that she has manic depression. Was she diagnosed
with this? From what I read, it doesn't sound like manic depression to me. Sure, she has some issues going on there, major depression would be a pretty good guess, but does she have any manic episodes?
My ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law were both bipolar which is the new and improved way to say manic depressive and they were the exact opposite of hypochondria. During the manic phase, they felt like they ruled the world. According to them, they had never felt better, thought more clearly, or got more done, but the exact opposite was true. They never slept. They never finished anything they started. They were incoherent at times, basically jumping from one subject to the next so you could not carry on any kind of coherent conversation with them. Sometimes they were even delusional - my mother-in-law thought she was in love with a televangelist and divorced her husband and moved to be closer to the televangelist. My ex-husband thought he was the victim racism when he got a speeding ticket. He claimed the officer had something against Hispanics. Nevermind that my husband was maybe one-eight Mexican on his mother's side and has a German last name.
Those are just a couple of examples of manic behavior. It can even be more bizarre. I could write a book based on what I've seen first hand and it can be very scary.
My son was diagnosed as an infant. Prevacid helped tremendously! Hope she gets better. nm
Cold fingers often - diagnosed with Raynaud syndrome many years ago.
I usually try warm water first - if that doesn't help, I have these little packets, normally found in the camping section of stores called hand warmers. One is called Hothands-2(up to 10 hrs of heat), another one called MEGA warmer(12+ hours). One you shake to activate, the other just expose to air - then place them in a pocket or glove. I wear sweats with pockets - put them in my pockets and warm up my hands.
Found these several years ago as we go camping; however, hubby loves going out in late Sept & I'll swear would go all winter if he could. When he's comfortable, I'm turning blue!! He found these for me - and, they also have foot warmers (6 hrs heat), which sometimes I will use in the winter if I'm wearing my moccasins - with socks - while transcribing!!
don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

For me it isn't an account type but a dictator type ...
and that would be oriental. An oriental dictator (hahaha, that kind of sounds funny...hahaha) is the most challenging for me.
No, you don't type directly into ES. You type in Word -
or whatever their platform is, just like you did with your tapes.
Then you do your line count in Word or the platform.
You should type them. I usually type them in parentheses following the diagnosis.

remind me, type what they say, type what they say, type....
"He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems recently but has gotten better." C'mon doc, which one is it?????
Shorthand users: Is there a way to type a word, use a slash and then type another word..sm
immediately following the slash and have it expand. For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark? TIA
Right above where you type (SM)
There is a "T" with a colored block. You can highlight the text you want to color, click on that block, and then click on the color you want to make it. :)
I hope your kitty will be around for more years to come. I know 19 is very old for a kitty. :( It's hard to think about losing one of our "babies."
Take care,
Chickadee
TV on while you type?
Do you keep the television on while you type? I think I would get alot more done if I would stop watching TV and stop surfing the web!
If you don't know what type you have,
you probably don't have an FTP server. You would have to know that to set it up and configure it.
FTP stands for file transfer protocol, which just means that it's a way to upload and download files from a server using the Internet. If you'd like free FTP software for a potential job, you can download CoreFTP for free from Download.com at the following link.

how would you type this?
How would you type "section 8 housing"? Would it be Section 8 housing, Section -8 housing, Section-8 Housing or Section 8 Housing?
TIA
Tabatha in Charleston, SC
you type what?
Ummmmmmm, okay! LOL!
you never type don't or can't but only do not and cannot etc...lol
If all you have to do is type....
and they do all the rest (if you are subcontracting through a service), after the 25% take, they are paying you 9.75 cents per line and that is better than most national companies. Plus, hopefully, you do not have to learn 100 or more dictators! If this is the case, go for it!
USA TYPE
Does anyone have any info on USA TYPE? Thanks
USA TYPE
Has anyone heard back from USA type after they have tested for them? thanks
usa type
I think she must have gotten a big response to the job post and hopefully is just sorting things out.
usa type
How long after you took the test were you called?
usa type
that's interesting . . . sheri told me herself last January that she was selling her medtrans business and wouldn't be hiring any more. . . . .
type it
it doesnt matter if it is someone you know. you still have a job to do while adhering to patient confidentiality.
we have to type it out now? aw man

Just my type ....
Believe me, he'd approach me in a bar .... Just like the late 60's fella with the hot pink sport jacket, rug on his head, and POLYESTER black slacks .... and this was not THAT long ago!! LOLOLOL
type OP.

Type what they say
I was taught to fix them a little bit if needed. Of course, I work in a teaching hospital and you can do that. With the foreign docs, they don't make any sense sometimes and get words wrong. We can fix them, but if they are hard dictators, we just type what they say and let them worry about it. I have been thanked for doing this for 19 years.
Is it Type 2 or Type II?
I have been typing Type 2 because I thought it changed but just got corrected.
Type 2
It's Type 2. At www.diabetes.com and www.diabetes-facts.com they both have it as Type 2. Even if you search for Type II and logon to their site they have it as Type 2. The main thing is how your MT company or physician prefers you to type it.
Type 2
AAMT (2nd edition) shows type 2 diabetes mellitus
all type
i got a call thurs from ann at all type in response to my resume, called her back 3X and she's never called me back. not impressed.
My dog is in my lap as I type this
Was thinking of getting a second dog so he would have someone to play with but after reading your post, that may not be the case! Don't you love it when then sleep? Yup, a tired doggy is a happy doggy.
Why do they always type like
they r in a chat room for teens? LOL
all type
Good luck to you!
Just type what they say.

ok...here it is, i will type it as
i do it myself so i dont miss a step (it's early for me - PST!!)
Click START. click ALL PROGRAMS. Find the program you want a shortcut to be on your desktop. If that program has an arrow pointing to the right, it means it will open up with more choices. Move your cursor on top of the program you want...not the manual or uninstall but the actual program. RIGHT CLICK on that program and you will see a menu. Click on CREATE A SHORTCUT. It will create one in the menu you have open with a (....2) after it. Click-and-drag that shortcut, the name with the 2 after it, to your desktop.
Do this for every program that you want an icon on your desk.
Those icons will have the number 2 after it and if you dont like that, right click on the icon and click rename and you can take that out. When the name of the program is lit up in blue, hit END on your computer keyboard and that will take you to the end of the name, then backspace until you erase the 2. Or you can rename the whole icon if you want...when it lights up in blue just start typing the name you want to rename it to.
that's it the way i understand it!!
How are you able to type in it?
I have tried both of these suggestions, which work just in creating the letterhead, but I am unable to type into it. Can anyone help me past this point?
Thank you again!
All Type
I am wondering if there are any transcriptionists on here who currently work for All Type located in New Jersey? I was offered employment by them upon successfully completing their on line test, sent in all required paperwork to them, had an on-line/telephone training course for the platform, email sent to me that I will be working with so and so this evening, have not heard from so and so, and nothing is happening as far as me actually getting going to work for them----all this very time consuming for me on top of it all. Any input would be appreciated.
