YORK, S.C. -- Five people have been arrested following a meth lab bust in York County.
Law enforcement responded to a house on Hudson Street Wednesday. Witnesses say the odor could be smelled coming from the house.
"It's scary. They could have blown up something with my 8-month-old baby in here," said York neighbor, Eva Morris.
Morris and her baby Mia live just two houses away from what authorities are calling an active meth lab.
"So the guys went out this morning and knocked on the door. They could smell an odor that was consistent with meth labs, so they had the people step outside. They could see items inside consistent with meth labs," said Commander Marvin Brown with York County Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Enforcement Agency.
Crews in HazMat gear went inside to investigate and clean up the mess.
Brown says there was active cooking, and signs of previous inactive meth labs, so they had to take caution with HazMat crews going through the evidence.
"Drain cleaners, Coleman fuel, evidence of Sudafed, those types of items-- quite a bit; a couple duffle bags full of items," said Brown.
Morris says she never saw anything suspicious but did smell something.
"We did smell a funny smell out here coming home at night from work, and stuff like that. It's really at night time you smell it, but it really stinks; I thought maybe the sewer was broke," said Morris.
Now she's just glad it's cleaned up.
"To think about drugs and my baby that close it kind of creeps me out," said Morris.
Five people were arrested after they were decontaminated. They face a total of 20 different charges, including trafficking meth. The clean-up crew said the mess was the size of three labs.
The suspects have not yet been named.

Land Rover North America today announced that the 2012 Range Rover Evoque was named Autoweek's "Best of Best" truck for 2011. This marks the second year Autoweek has named its "Best of Best" -- vehicles that best exemplify the pinnacle of automotive perfection - from the perspective of the automotive enthusiast.
"We are honored that the newly launched Range Rover Evoque has been named Autoweek's 'Best of Best' truck for 2011," says Kim McCullough, Brand Vice President, Land Rover North America.

Hurricane Sandy could cause power outages beginning tonight and into tomorrow evening in Northeast Ohio, a FirstEnergy spokesperson said.
The hurricane is expected to bring strong winds to all of Northeast Ohio for a roughly 24-hour period beginning this evening.
Crews have been sent from Ohio to the East Coast, where damage is expected to be more severe and widespread, spokesperson Mark Durbin said, but crews in Northeast Ohio are fully equipped to respond the storm.
More coverage: Hurricane Sandy in Northeast Ohio
"We would not have sent those crews if we didn't think we had adequate staffing here to deal with outages," Durbin added.
Though the company is not in "storm mode" yet, crews in Northeast Ohio have been told to prepare for storm response shifts — that's 16 hours on and 8 hours off — and are watching the storm closely.
Durbin stressed that customers should call 888-544-4877 if you have an outage — even if you think someone else will call — to help the company accurately track and respond to outages in the area.
Before the storm hits here, prepare with these tips from the Red Cross and these tips from FirstEnergy.
Also, see this page for what to do in an outage.
You can track local outages here, and watch Patch for information as we follow this storm's impact on our region.

The governor of Hawaii is a Western New York native, and he's taking a pro-taxpayer stand against a subsidy for the NFL. The Hawaii Tourism Authority is paying the NFL $4 million a year for 2011 and 2012 to bring the Pro Bowl to Honolulu. The governor, Neil Abercrombie, says this is a waste of taxpayer money and the state should not kick in a subsidy to extend the deal for the all-star game. Abercrombie graduated from Williamsville High School in the 1950s then got a bachelor's degree from Union College in Schenectady in 1959. The Transportation Authority says the Pro Bowl brings in $28 million in visitor spending, which netted $3 million in state taxes last year. The governor says the money would be better spent elsewhere.
Said Abercrombie last week: "You've got this spectacle of these multi-millionaires and billionaires out there arguing about how they're gonna divide it up and then they come and ask us to bribe them with $4 million to have a scrimmage out here in paradise. We've got to get our values straight and our priorities straight."
Abercrombie likely would hold this view regardless of the lockout. But here's another case in which the NFL's labor standoff gives people more reason to look at the league with a more critical eye.

A new year has arrived and with it countless resolutions.
More than 45 percent of Americans make a resolution every year, according to statisticbrain.com. Some people vow to live a healthier lifestyle, others promise to spend more time with family and many say they will try to save money.
As millions of Americans make resolutions to improve their lives, what could we do right here in Midtown or the westside of Atlanta to make them even better places to live?
What's on your wish list?
Would you like to see a major reduction in crime? From Howell Mill Road to Georgia Tech to Piedmont Park to Ponce de Leon Avenue and all surrounding areas in our Midtown Patch, the headlines in 2012 were filled with crime stories, including numerous armed pedestrian robberies. Just last week, some civic-minded citizens helped apprehend a thief in Midtown as the Midtown Ponce Security Alliance details here.
Would you like to see Midtown's prostitution problem eliminated? How about a 2013 satisfactory resolution to the Peachtree-Pine homeless shelter issue?
Does your wish list include for the Midtown Mile to begin making steps towards being akin to Chicago's Magnificent Mile and New York's Madison Avenue? Maybe your wish list is for smart development at some of Midtown's most visible locations, such as across the street from the High Museum, or at the corner of 10th and Peachtree streets where the boutique grocery store failed this past fall?
Maybe your wish list includes education, and you'd like see the overcrowding issue resolved at the schools within the Grady Cluster? Is the completion of Piedmont Park's expansion on your wish list? Are you ready for Midtown's traffic lights to be synced or for the traffic to improve along Howell Mill Road and Northside Drive?
What is one thing you would improve in 2013 for Midtown and/or the westside of Atlanta?
Tell us in the comment section below. Tell us what you love about living here, and what could make the community even better!

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Australian stocks climbed on Monday, on track for a twelfth day of gains in thirteen sessions, with the benchmark index building on highs not seen since mid-April 2011. The S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884/delayed AU:XJO -1.36% rose 0.6% to 4,948.70 on Monday, moving in on the 5,000 level, which the index hasn't traded at since April 2010. Monday saw investors take their first chance to react to last week's U.S. nonfarm payrolls data, which showed the U.S. economy added a modest number of jobs in January and more positions than previously thought in 2012.

CALDWELL COUNTY, N.C. -- Former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield is expected in a Caldwell County courtroom Monday.
He's accused of four counts of felony theft. In January, it appeared Mayfield's legal troubles would soon be over, he and prosecutors were reportedly working on a plea deal.
The charges against Mayfield stem from a search of his property in Hudson back in 2011. Investigators say they found meth and stolen goods.
In addition to the charges in Caldwell County, Mayfield faces a list of charges in Catawba County, as well.
Mayfield has maintained his innocence.

Weatherford Democrat
— By CHRISTIN COYNE
After a busy Fourth of July night that lasted into the early morning hours Friday for many area firefighters battling a number of fires, many of those same firefighters spent Friday afternoon stopping runaway grass fires in the south and west areas of the county.
Firefighters from multiple departments, including Cool-Garner, Greenwood and Mineral Wells, responded to extinguish a blaze on the east side of Lake Mineral Wells State Park and Trailway near High Point Road.
The fire appeared to have burned within a few yards around one home on High Point Road, as well as on both sides of High Point Road and on the west side of Maddux Road.
A peace officer with the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife was attempting late Friday afternoon to extinguish flare-ups with a large bucket as firefighters fought the fire elsewhere in the area.
The Democrat was unable to reach the Cool-Garner fire department Friday or Saturday for more information.
Other departments were able to stop a fast-moving grass fire in the 1100 block of Fletcher Road south of Weatherford Friday afternoon that destroyed two buildings.
The property owner said she was burning in a burn barrel behind a mobile home on her property when the fire jumped and caught the house on fire.
Though she attempted to put it out with a garden hose, the fire quickly got away, spreading down the pasture to another outbuilding.
The house was vacant but was being used for storage for her family's items, she said.
The buildings quickly burned to the ground. Chickens near the fire were reported to be OK.
Firefighters from ESD No. 6 and Weatherford departments, along with others, including North Hood County, responded and extinguished the blaze.
The Parker County Fire Marshal's Office could not be reached for comment or additional information Friday or Saturday.
Various pasture and roadside fires were reported Saturday afternoon as well. While there is no current burn ban in Parker County, the recent heat, high winds and lack of rainfall are making for increasingly dangerous fire conditions, where the flick of a lighted cigarette from a vehicle can spark a fire.

The recent article in The Cyrosphere detailing the shrinking of the Andrian Glaciers and the resulting loss of fresh water storage reminds me of how kind nature has been to us. Nature stores frest water in the ice and snow that builds up in the mountains in the winter and then slowly releases it for our use during the year. All this for free.
With a warming planet this free storage will continue shrinking. One solution is to build more dams to catch and hold the water falling as rain instead of snow. Of course this is expensive and difficult as dams also have environmental impact.
As humans we have a tendency to take gifts nature gives us and spoil them one way or another---but----when someone has trouble feeding their family the longer term hardly matters. Is there any hope for us?

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — Benzie Area Christian Neighbors' Fall Food Drive will start Tuesday, Oct. 1, with a shortened time frame and a new "virtual" element.
"We have shortened the time frame for this year's drive so every day is critical to success," said Operations Director Michelle Northrup.
Volunteers will work two-hour shifts to cover from 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Oct. 2-6, at Honor and Copemish Family Markets, Save-A-Lot and Shop and Save in Benzonia, and Glen's in Frankfort. They also will be passing out flyers listing the items most needed by the BACN food pantry. Shoppers also can "scan a buck" for BACN at Glen's, Shop and Save and Save-A-Lot. Donations made to that code will become a BACN store credit.
Also new this year is a "Virtual Food Drive" with a dollor for dollar match challenge. Online gifts to the drive can be made at www.benziebacn.org. All gifts from Tuesday, Oct. 1, through Oct. 10 will qualify for an Oleson Foundation challenge up to $5,000.
"So many of our supporters travel or live outside our immediate area. Donating over the Internet gives them a convenient way to still be part of the community," said David Abeel, director of development.
"We hope everyone will help us put food on the table for Benzie and northern Manistee county families who are struggling," added Gerri Van Antwerp, BACN executive director.
The Zonta Club of Leelanau County wrote to thank everyone who helped make the "Fruit of the Vine" event such a success at Brengman Brothers winery on Center Highway, Traverse City.
The sponsors were Bill Marsh, Sharon Bogucki, CPA, Core Energy, Gallagher's Farm Market, JA MacNeal, Linda Peppler, CPA, and Carol Vernon. Great prizes were contributed by local businesses and everyone who attended had a great time.
Catholic Heart Workcamp sent more than 20 students/adults to work at Kalkaska Area Interfaith Resources (KAIR) recently.
The work teams repaired and painted the storefront, built a storage shed, painted the sorting room and organized Festival of Trees decorations and more.
"KAIR has made a lot of changes for the good in the past two years after being wounded by embezzlement," wrote Kathy Bowman, KAIR co-director. "The resale store already has a new look. The students/adults came from five states and we are so excited to have Catholic Heart Workcamp include us in their mission week."
KAIR is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit that ministers to the needy in Kalkaska County with funds from its resale store that provide food and baby pantries and client services to help pay heating, electric, medical and other bills that cause hardship.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System recently unveiled its new Mobile Broadband Library InternetXpress van.
InternetXpress, developed in partnership with Adirondack Community Action Programs and OneWorkSource, provides free workforce training and public access to computers.
Equipped with universally accessible laptop equipment, the InternetXpress Van will travel throughout Essex County, making scheduled appearances at 16 public libraries to provide free instruction.
Sessions include basic Word and Excel, writing a cover letter and thank-you letter, interviewing, networking, creating an employment portfolio, resume writing, understanding the Internet and LinkedIn.
"This service brings a new level of workforce-development assistance to area residents," said Library System Director Ewa Jankowska.
"Often, the computers already at a library are heavily utilized, and now the InternetXpress van will bring mobile resources to complement our existing library infrastructure."
Jankowska pointed out that Twitter, Facebook and other social-network programs are "very difficult to grasp for some people," something the mobile van can help with.
"I hope the initiative and partnership with organizations such as ACAP will continue," she added.
"We have always had a dream to provide a program such as this," ACAP Executive Director Alan Jones said.
Cali Brooks, executive director of Adirondack Community Trust, said she sees a lot of pride in local libraries around the Adirondack region.
"We are using digital to bridge the gap between those who don't have digital access and literacy. Often the libraries are the only community access."
Brooks stated the three goals of the program: developing workforce skills, expanding Internet access and availability in libraries and providing digital literacy.
InternetXpress can be of great use to the unemployed, underemployed, seniors and individuals with disabilities, officials said.
One of the workshop benefactors, 82-year-old Chapin Davis of Westport, said he had reached a point in his life "in which I had not had any new experiences. But that changed when I bought a new computer.
"But I found it intimidating. Through this program, I learned about Skype and connected with my oldest childhood friend, with whom I last had contact with in 1947."
With a twinkle in his eye, Davis indicated he had also contacted several old flames.
Pointing to the van, he added, "I am very grateful for this. It has allowed me to have personal and emotional contacts."
Ken Doyle and Chris Lawrence have been hired to travel throughout Essex County, providing workshops and one-on-one consultation to the public.
They have received training in assisting with job-search processes and are also adept at helping people become more comfortable with technology.
"The purpose is to go where people live to provide services," Lawrence said.
"A project like this shows how a system can stay relevant and bring services to the community. We're here to do whatever we can to train people on the computer, as well as do career-related workshops.
"We are encouraging libraries to let us know the needs of the patrons. Though we currently have six, we're anticipating the ordering of more computers."
The unveiling ceremony concluded with Molly Ryan reading a letter from Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh), who was credited with obtaining much of the funding. Owens called the program "a much-needed service to our rural communities."

They came in as the X-factor in a field of unknowns. They left as champions of the Ozark '7' Conference.
McAuley Catholic, with the help of some of its baseball players, won its first boys conference track title since 2006 Tuesday at Thomas Jefferson.
"Things went well," said McAuley head coach Patrick Bromley. "There were events where we left points on the table, but we made up for it in other events."
McAuley's conference titles in golf and boys track this spring are the school's first conference championships since the Warriors won the title in boys track in 2006.
McAuley scored 208 points in the Ozark 7 Conference meet. Wheaton was second with 110 and Southwest was third. Southwest won the girls' title with 174 points, followed by Purdy, McAuley and Thomas Jefferson.
Any celebration will be short-lived. McAuley's boys have three days to prepare for the Class 1 District 3 meet Saturday at Midway High School in Cleveland.
"I don't think we're ready for a district championship," Bromley said, "but I think we'll take more people to state than we have in a long time. It's good for these guys to have success and they've worked really hard for this."
Purdy's baseball team defeated McAuley 4-3 last month and went on to win the Ozark 7 title.
Cole Lowry, who won four events, said the meet was his second of the spring and the first since he ran at the Galena Bulldog Relays on March 28.
He won the long jump with a leap of 20 feet, 7.5 inches.
"I could have gone farther, but my steps were all messed up," said Lowry, whose primary spring sport is baseball. "On the weekends, we spend a couple of hours on the track getting things where they need to be."
Lowry won the 100 meters in 12.1 seconds and won the 200 and 400.
Another converted baseball player was Greg Carney, who also had not competed since the meet at Galena. He won the 110 and 300 hurdles and won the pole vault with a jump of 9 feet.
"We have some events we're good at and really work on," Carney said. "We feel we can go to district and maybe move on."
McAuley won the 4x800 relay and used its depth to place in the top five in every event.
Chris Saladin of Thomas Jefferson won the 800, 1600 and 3200 meters.
Wheaton's Darrell Burns won the high jump, and Wheaton won the 4x200 and 4x400 relays. Verona won the 4x100 relay.
Kordell McNabb of Southwest won the shot put and discus. Lucas White of Purdy won the triple jump.
In the girls' division, Southwest won 10 events, led by Nicole Ikes, who won the 100, 300 hurdles and long jump. Victoria Foley of McAuley won the discus and shot put.
Thomas Jefferson's Hannah Cromer won the 200, and the team of Cromer, Marieke John, Sarah Wilson and Tearra Mims won the 4x100 relay.
Thomas Jefferson scored 74 points, placed second in three events and was third in three events.
"I'm really pleased with their performance," said Thomas Jefferson head coach Clayton Carnahan. "The 4x100 was a PR (personal record). I think that shows the work they've put into it.
"Our senior runners really care about what they do," he said, "and that has encouraged the younger athletes to run harder and try harder."

Donna Loren Radio
Donna Loren enjoyed a brief career as a pop/rock singer, doing girl group type material during the mid-'60s. Born Donna Zukor in Boston in 1947, she made her professional singing debut at age seven with a commercial jingle. From there, she moved on to other commercial work and a guest appearance on The Mickey Mouse Club. She made recordings intermittently for a variety of labels over the next eight years, but most of her success was as a vocalist for commercials, culminating in 1963 when she won a talent contest to become the official representative of Dr. Pepper. Known as the "Dr. Pepper Girl," she made regular appearances at record hops, concerts, and on television variety shows aimed at teenagers -- most notably American Bandstand -- on behalf of the soft drink. This led to her appearance in the first of the Beach Party movies, in what was supposed to be a little spot plugging the drink (whose makers had helped finance the movie). Instead, the producers gave Loren a song to do and she was featured in supporting roles in most of the subsequent films in the series, the most popular of which, Beach Blanket Bingo (1965), was so successful that a soundtrack featuring Loren was rushed out. That LP, which was similar in nature to the work of such contemporary girl group singers as Diane Renay or Lesley Gore, didn't break any sales records, but Loren was well enough established to justify another year's worth of singles. She left the music business in the late '60s, making one attempt at success in a country music vein in the early '70s. She has also been a very successful clothes designer based in Hawaii. ~ Bruce EderPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Jack Beauchamp knows about the cost of freedom.
His son, Navy HM2 Clayton Beauchamp, died last August defending the freedom of Americans after an attack in Afghanistan. The Weatherford High graduate was one of several honored during the Parker County Freedom Celebration Friday outside the county courthouse.
The event was sponsored by the Bush Legacy Republican Women of Weatherford. The event allowed members of the group to honor members of the military, both living and deceased. Flags were placed on the east lawn of the courthouse where they were to remain throughout the day.
Beauchamp said the death of his son has strengthened the resolve of other family members still in the military.
"The family has used the loss of their brother and son as a source of strength," Beauchamp said. "Our 19-year-old daughter, Cheyenne, has already become a petty officer and his brother, Chris, has done three tours and has already re-enlisted."
In a recent ceremony in Virginia Beach, Va. Beauchamp was able to honor Clayton and Chris' military service by pinning medals of theirs on her uniform. She has become a member of the military police, Beauchamp said.
"It's nice to know they are keeping our son's memory alive," Beauchamp said. "He stood and fought for what he believed in. Our son made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us and it's comforting for us to know there are people out there who still remember."
In her welcome, BLRWW President Zan Prince said the event took place in remembrance and honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. World War II veteran Chuck Katlic told those present that Parker County is one of the most patriotic counties in the country.
"Without the sacrifices of the brave men and women we are honoring today, we wouldn't be the country we are today," Katlic said.
Graham Quisenberry, 415th District Court judge, spoke of the flags that adorned the courthouse lawn and also of liberty, which the nation's founding fathers held so dear.
"When we pledge allegiance to the flag, we are actually pledging allegiance to liberty," Quisenberry remarked. "(More than) One million people have died protecting the concept of liberty. It goes without saying how important it is for all of us to protect the concept."

Now, he's saying keep increasing until i reach a dose that brings my am blood sugar under 140...which I have not reached yet. At 53 units, I am still running about 200 in the mornings.
It just concerns me that I have reached a high enough dosage that requires 2 injections to administer. Not that I mind the injections, thats no problem....I am just unsure about a dose that high. Anyone know of any information regarding a maximum dosage of Lantus? I haven't been able to find anything about it.
1. Your diet is completely out of kilter for you to even hope for reasonable diabetes control
2. Your activity level is woefully inadequate; even if you have disabilities, physical activity of some sort is still a must
3. You most likely have insulin resistance and/or inflammation. Reducing abdominal or visceral fat is often the most effective means of reducing either or both and is best accomplished via dietary intake (the type and portions of food consumed as well as how it is cooked) and exercise
4. Lantus is a basal insulin and is used to help maintain a more even blood glucose level throughout the day. In only rare cases is a basal insulin used to actually lower BG levels. A bolus (quick acting) meal time insulin is an essential complement to lower your post prandial (after meal) blood sugar levels. Bolus insulins are often used in conjunction with basal insulins.
Flutetooter is 100% on target. If you are relying SOLELY on your doctor or health care provider to control your diabetes, then you are still in pre-school (or perhaps even cradle/toddler level) in terms of learning how to control your blood sugar levels. All diabetics need to become their own primary care provider when it comes to controlling the disease. A 30-minutes visit to the doctor can't possibly provide sufficient guidance for good long term control. YOU are the one that has to live with the disease 24/7. That simply means that you have to learn how various foods and activity levels affects you personally (each of us is different). You also have to learn how your insulin dosages affect you. Then you must balance all three factors (food, activity, medication/insulin) to achieve reasonably good blood glucose control.
How close are you to properly balancing your food intake/activity levels/insulin? My own guess is "not very" because if your fasting BG levels are in the 200 range, then your post prandial levels must be in the suicidal (my interpretation) range. If you want some helpful, targeted advice, you will have to expand on the areas that Flute mentioned.
Really don't know what caused my sugars to suddenly start running high. My diet and excercise levels were still the same, I wasn't overly stressed, and wasn't sick. I was doing ok on the glipizide, running between 100 and 140 or so in the mornings, then it jumped to the 300s, and then 400s...and staying high all day.After a trip to the ER because it was so high, my doctor started the Lantus. This was 2 days before Thanksgiving. Now I just have to find the right dose to bring the am sugars down to the 100 - 110 range he has set for me. So far, I'm still running around 200 first thing in the morning.
I am 74 years old, still BARELY in the pre-diabetes range (without meds so far), exercise daily, am 138 lbs. for 5'5" and exercise mildly daily - like 1 mi. walk plus some weight and core strength. Yet my body can only tolerate 15-20 grams of total carbs at a time in a meal without going up higher than I like. I eat 3 meals and 3 snack a day, no more than 1200 calories total for the day, and less than 100 grams of carbs a day. I eat about 9 ounces of protein a day (3 ounces is the size of a deck of cards) and good fats like nuts and avocado. My doctor agrees with this plan, but we both would like to get my A1c down below 6. Probably I will need some meds. This isn't easy, but for you it will prevent many horrible complications.
Also, there are many medications which can lower or higher your blood glucose levels. There are lists on the internet on which meds will cause your BS to go higher.
You need to ask your doctor how many carbs you are allowed per meal. If you can't get an answer, ask for a referral to a dietician. You may find that you can eat very few carbs per meal.
I had to drastically cut carbs even with the use of insulin. Actually, I was in the same boat as you with my a.m. fastings 250 and over. That's when they started the insulin. I use two insulins, the Lantus and the meal-time rapid-acting insulin, Humalog. Humalog prevents your BS from rising when you eat carbs.
My Lantus started at 15 units. That did not work. My doctor increased it every day by 2 units. This went on for about two weeks. Each increase bought it down a little bit. I finally wound up taking 40 units each morning. The doctor finally decided to do 4 unit increase until my BS got to where it should be.
You need to keep moving every single day. Any activity will help your body utilize any excess glucose running around in your blood stream.
I have a job where I am active four hours per day five days a week. Really moving. I was able to lower my Lantus dosage and not even use the Humalog during the day except for my evening meal. The activity I do negates the use of my meal-time insulin.
Try and get a referral to a dietician. Before this job, I was eating between 20-30 carbs a day. My dietician recommended 35-45, but I had to use more insulin. Didn't want to do that.
There really is no max dosage. If you need a huge amount of insulin, there is also available the U-500 unit dosage. It is rare, but some people have extreme insulin resistance. If they use 300 or more units of insulin, the doctor would recommend switching to the U-500 insulin. It is not a dosage, but rather a concentration of insulin. U-100 has 100 units of insulin per milliliter and the U-500 has 500 units of insulin per milliliter
Try and cut back on carbs. See if you can exercise more. Dr. Dansinger has recommended 1 1/2 hours per day, seven days a week. This helps your body to utilize glucose, especially your skeletal muscles. When you walk, take with you some hand weights. Increasing muscle strength helps with your blood sugars. When you really start to lose the weight, your body will require less insulin. It is best to get things under control as soon as you can.
Try and not to stress about it. If your doctor said you can increase the insulin on your own, go ahead.
Elevated blood glucose levels over a prolonged period of time will cause significant damage to your internal organs. This is due to a process known as glycation whereby glucose molecules in the blood stream bond or stick to the cells of your precious body proteins and fats. After a cell has been glycated, it is rendered virtually useless, unable to perform its intended function in the body. For example, your finger-prick blood tests are actually measuring the approximate percentage of glycated red blood cells in your system. Sixty to ninety days later, the damaged/glycated RBCs will die off and are replaced with a new crop. Unfortunately, thiis applies only to RBCs. Glycated cells in your precious internal organs (such as the kidneys, eyes/retinas, heart, nerves and blood vessels) are NOT so readily replaced and the damage can not only be cumulative but is usually permanent. There are often no physical symptoms accompanying the glycation process. In other words, you won't "feel" anything but the damage will occur nonetheless. By the time that symptoms do eventually manifest themselves, it is often too late to prevent serious complications. That's why it is so essential for diabetics to "normalize" their blood glucose levels as much and as soon as possible.
What are "normal" blood sugars? My own personal target is in the range between 65mg/dL and 85mg/dL. Dr. Richard K. Bernstein defines normal as 83mg/dL (you can read portions of his book online for free ). The Blood Sugar 101 website states that normal blood glucose is in the range of 70 to 92mg/dL. Life Extension, of which I am a member, views normal as 85mg/dL and under. LE has studies that show glycation begins at levels above 85mg/dL and can be read at this link:
My own personal stats? My average fasting blood glucose levels are well below 100. Even more important, my average pre-meal BG levels are also below 100 (warning: if a diabetic starts off with elevated BG levels before a meal, it's only going to get a lot worse after eating). My A1c tests have been below 5.0 (it was 4.9 seven months ago and measured 4.8 last month). I can go into detail on how I accomplished these results but this particular post is already too long and will post back if time permits.
As far as a max dosage....I think that worry comes from taking it at bedtime, and thinking I could drop too low during the night. 've read more about Lantus by now though, and have a better understanding of how it works...not so worried anymore. I still feel like such a baby as far as controlling my diabetes goes because it was so easy to control for so long...2 years or so...and now it's suddenly gotten much harder for some reason. I feel like I'm starting all over again trying to understand it.
I already do have some complications from my diabetes..I have some mild neuropathy in my feet and legs, and I am in stage 3 renal failure. (That was blamed on taking metformin and nsaids for arthritis, so I no longer take either one). Sounds weird to say I have complications after how easy it was to keep controlled before as I mentioned in my response to auriga1, but I think most of that damage was done before diagnosis. My am sugars when I was "controlled" were about 100 to 125...a tad high, but not really out of range like they are now. I really don't know why it is so out of control now because my lifestyle had not changed...but rather than worry about why, I'm just going to work on getting control again.
I'm also keeping written records..sugars, carb intake, excercise records. Excercise I am increasing a little every other day or so...if I get too sore, I'll get too discouraged, so I'm trying to avoid that.
I think too, that only testing once in the am is not testing enough, even though thats what my doc said to do. I am also testing after meals and anytime that I feel like my sugar is changing too much....I just have to balance how much testing I do with how many strips I can get through indigent care...it's all I have right now. If I find a pattern of too high sugars at other times than morning fasting developing, I'll bring it up to the doc.
You've got a great idea about taking it slow. The first time I put in an exercise tape, which by the way, was walking slow, then fast, lifting knees, I was out of breath. Embarrassing, even though I was alone. LOL. I used to exercise all the time every single day. Then I was laid off of work and angry. Bored. You would think I would get back into the groove.
Even though the literature for Lantus says it is a bedtime insulin, I take mine every morning. It really shouldn't make a difference either way because it has no discernible peaks or valleys. I don't know why, but my doctor prefers I take it in the morning. If it would make you feel more at ease, ask your doc about it.
Little baby steps are the way to go. Pat yourself on the back that you have a good attitude and are listening to some good advice. I applaud you.
Taking insulin is new for you. We all had to start somewhere. Ease up on yourself. Know that things are going to get better.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Mike Horton stood in front of the power-lifting bench on Saturday afternoon at the Cole Chevy Mountain Festival, staring at the contraption as if it were a live adversary.
Psyching himself up, he yelled, "Woo! Let's go! C'mon, c'mon!"
It worked. The Gary native, now living in Bluefield, put up a bench press of 540 pounds and claimed the top spot in the Third Annual Bench Press Expo.
"I have to really get myself psyched," he said afterward. "I've played football all my life, and the way I approach it, I have to attack it. If I don't, it will defeat me. So my attitude is to intimidate it, and to attack it."
He smiled. "And most of the time, I win."
Dorian Cox of Bluefield took second place with a lift of 435 pounds.
Horton said he was introduced to power lifting in 2000 by Donnie Robbins, who organized Saturday's competition. Horton said he began competing in 2001, and lifts in "normally three or four (events) a year."
He played football for Mount View High School, graduating in 1991. He was careful to point out that he was on the only Golden Knights football team to reach the championship game. He also played for the semi-pro Bluefield Barons football team in all three years of its existence.
He is now employed at the Federal Correctional Institution McDowell, in Welch.
He said when he goes to power lifting events, "My wife (Erica Horton) and children (Jamaikah, Laamaj and R.J.) are my No. 1 support system. She is there for all my meets. She takes care of all my nutrition; she feeds me really well."
He said he also receives warm support from his "church family" at the House of Prayer in Bluefield, and from his friends at Superior Gym in Welch.
"We all consider each other family," Horton said. "All one big family."
He said the sport "has great potential for growth. The thing we have to tap into is the youth. There's not a lot of stuff for young people around here. (Lifting) can carry over into other sports. You can do it in the off-season."
Cox was a freshman defensive lineman on the Bluefield High School football championship team of 1997. He said he started power lifting competition in 1998, and has worked with Robbins since 2001.
"I've been lifting since I was 13 years old," said Cox, 30. "For 17 years, I've been pretty much in the gym."
He also has his pre-lift routine. "I usually psych myself up mentally," he said. "I get in my little zone and stay to myself."
He works out at the Greater Bluefield Community Center and mentioned his support group in the audience on Saturday — his mother Desiree, nephew Edward Cox III and fianceé Edwinna Cecil.
Cox is employed as a sanitation worker for the City of Bluefield.
He said about his power-lifting hobby, "It's good and healthy. Sometime it's a stress reliever. ... You come in, throw some weights up and get your stress out."
He said about the local lifting scene, "I just hope we can have a lot of meets locally, for a lot of kids. And we've got some people around here who are really good lifters, but they don't have the chance to show it. To me, personally, there's just not enough notoriety around the area."
"Big John" Bergner was among those returning to lift at the festival this year after competing last May in a Strong Man Competition. A former football player for Bluefield College, he graduated on May 4 with a degree in Exercise and Sports Science.
Bergner, who came in third in Saturday's lifts, said he has gone on to participate in strong-man competitions in North Carolina and the Virginia Beach area.
The top lifters were Horton, 540 pounds; Cox, 435; Bergner, 405; D.J. Stinson, 380; Troy Rasnick, 355; Jared Palmer, 340; Mike Lesnett, 325; Justin Cline; 315; Steven Wessells, 280; and Parker Cline, 260.

The New Museum of Contemporary Art, founded in 1977 by Marcia Tucker, is a museum in New York City at 235 Bowery. It is the only museum worldwide that is exclusively devoted to presenting contemporary art from around the world.[citation needed]
The museum originally opened in a space in the Graduate Centre of the then-named New School for Social Research at 65 Fifth Avenue.[2] The New Museum remained there until 1983, when it rented and moved to the first two and a half floors of the Astor Building at 583 Broadway in the SoHo neighborhood.[3]
In 1999, Marcia Tucker was succeeded as director by Lisa Phillips, previously the curator of contemporary art at the Whitney Museum of American Art.[4] In 2001, the museum rented 7,000 square feet of space on the first floor of the Chelsea Art Museum on West 22nd Street for a year.[5]
Over the past five years, the New Museum has exhibited artists from Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, China, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Germany, Poland, Spain, South Africa, Turkey, and the United Kingdom among many other countries. In 2003, the New Museum formed an affiliation with Rhizome, a leading online platform for global new media art.
In 2005, the museum was among 406 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a $20 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.[6][7]
On December 1, 2007, the New Museum opened the doors to its new $50 million location at 235 Bowery, between Stanton and Rivington Streets.[8] The seven-story 58,700-square-foot facility,[9] designed by the Tokyo-based firm Sejima + Nishizawa/SANAA and the New York-based firm Gensler, has greatly expanded the Museum's exhibitions and space. In April 2008, the museum's new building was named one of the architectural New Seven Wonders of the World by Conde Nast Traveler.[10]
The Bowery location has gallery and events space, plus a Resource Center with books and computers for access to their main web site and digital archive.
When she founded the museum, Marcia Tucker decided it should buy works and sell them 10 years later so that its collection would always be new. It was an innovative plan that was never carried out. In 2000, the museum accepted its first corporate donation of artworks.[11] The museum now has a modest collection of about 1,000 works in many media.[12] In 2004, it joined forces with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in raising $110,000 from two foundations -- $50,000 from the American Center Foundation and $60,000 from the Peter Norton Family Foundation—to help pay for commissioning, buying, and exhibiting the work of emerging young artists.[13]
Exhibitions: past and present[edit]
The Museum presents the work of under-recognized artists, and has mounted ambitious surveys of important figures such as Ana Mendieta, William Kentridge, David Wojnarowicz, Paul McCarthy and Andrea Zittel before they received widespread public recognition. In 2003, the New Museum presented the highly regarded exhibition Black President: The Art and Legacy of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Continuing its focus of exhibiting emerging international artists, the museum organized the much discussed and visited exhibition, The Generational: Younger Than Jesus, in 2009.
Present exhibitions[edit]
- Pawel Althamer: The Neighbors (02/12/14-04/13/14)
- Laure Prouvost: For Forgetting (02/12/14-04/13/14)
- Report on the Construction of a Spaceship Module (01/22/14-04/13/14)
- Occupied Territory: A New Museum Trilogy (01/22/14-04/13/14)
Other programs[edit]
In 2008, art dealer Barbara Gladstone initiated the formation of the Stuart Regen Visionaries Fund at the New Museum, established in honor of the her late son and renowned art dealer. The gift was meant to support a new series of public lectures and presentations by cultural visionaries, the Visionaries Series, which debuted in 2009 and features prominent international thinkers in the fields of art, architecture, design and contemporary culture; past speakers have included Alice Waters and Jimmy Wales.
In 2002, the New Museum sold its previous home in SoHo for $18 million. It subsequently bought the new Bowery site for $5 million. In order to cover the building and endowment, it raised an estimated $64 million.[14]
Board of Trustees[edit]
Since taking office, director Lisa Phillips expanded board membership to 35 from 18. Being a board member requires a minimum annual contribution of $25,000.[15] Current members include Warren Eisenberg and Dakis Joannou.

SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. —
Early in the season, Christian Academy of Indiana dropped some decisions it probably shouldn't have.
As the season has progressed, the Warriors have finished off their opponents, including Thursday's 62-47 victory over North Bullitt in Shepherdsville. The victory extends the Warriors' winning streak to three games.
"I still think we have some things we need to fix before sectional," CAI coach Steve Kerberg said. "But it's nice to get some wins. We've had a lot of close losses this year. I'm happy for the kids to get some wins. Winning can be contagious."
The Warriors came out strong on Thursday, outscoring the Eagles 16-4 in the first quarter. After North Bullitt cut the gap to 30-22 at the half, CAI put the game away with a 14-6 third-quarter advantage.
"For spurts in the game, we played really well offensively and really well defensively," Kerberg said. "We're still not sustaining that for four quarters. I feel like we can be a really good basketball team if we can sustain that effort."
Seniors DeVonta King and Aaron Hayes led the Warriors' offensive attack. King had a game-high 17 and Hayes added 15. King also finished with six boards and a pair of blocks.
"I think a lot of our team feeds off of DeVonta King," Kerberg said. "He played hard defensively tonight and the kids fed off that. I don't think he realizes how much the younger kids look up to him as a leader. He really makes us go sometimes."
Ten different Warriors scored in the victory, including NIck Reed, who had six. Ricky Dunnavon led a very balanced Eagles' effort with 11 points, including three 3-pointers.
Christian Acad. 16 14 14 18—62
North Bullitt 4 18 6 19—47
Christian Academy (8-9): James Martin 5, Aaron Eldridge 2, Aaron Hayes 15, DeVonta King 17, Connor Chalfant 5, Jayson Arrell 2, Austin Graham 4, Nic Reed 6, Andrew Roberts 2, Matt Hurtgen 4.
North Bullitt (13-16): Jarred George 10, Jared Free 8, Lucas Johnson 9, Ricky Dunnavon 11, Zack Geralds 4, Dominique Ellis 2, Ryan Henson 3.
3-point field goals: Christian Academy 0; North Bullitt 5 (Dunnavon 3, Henson, Free).
Free throws: Christian Academy 14-19; North Bullitt 4-7.
