In the last month or so a petition was offered by two D-moms that proposed adopting separate names for T1 and T2 diabetes. I'm not here to rehash that argument. While I found myself in a decided minority position in this argument, I believed in the…Continue

Diabetes Health online magazine has an Interview with Dr Bernstein about his views on Insulin Pump Therapy. I couldn't believe what he said, basically that all those he interviewed had worse A1C results on the pump than off it. Mainly due to scar…Continue

Drama with the Supply Company
Posted by Christine910 on May 18, 2013 at 8:22am 0 Comments 0 Likes
So I used to receive my shipment of pods, lancets, and test strips on the 13th of every month. Then it went to the 15th. I get a call on the 11th saying how Abbott the company that makes the test strips I use for my meter, is no longer going to make them. So they have to send me a new meter. Now the meter I have is like a all in one kind, where I test my BS and it communicates with my pod on the amount of insulin I should have or take.
When I put the test strip in the meter and test…

The only good things that have come from me moving here are Sierra, Caden and Daniel. This state claims to be for the children and what is right for them, bullsh*t!!!!!
How can a state give 50/50 custody to a father, where you have shown then pictures of him drinking and smoking pot? How is it the a…

My name is Christine, I am 40 yrs old and I am a type 1 diabetic.
I thought it would be a good idea to tell my story, so others might be able to prevent it from happening to them.
Diabetes runs in my family and When I was pregnant with my last child, Caden, I found out 3 months before I had him that I had gestational diabetes. I only had to watch what I ate. I'm not your typical candidate for diabetes as my Endocrinologist told me. I was not over weight and I ate pretty…

Are we insane ?

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.(Albert Einstein)
OK, it is official I am insane. Because every single morning I do the same thing. Get up, check the dexcom, check my blood sugar and take some insulin and every single day I expect a different result. Did I play racquetball or swim the night before ? Did I eat in a restaurant ? Did I go high or low in the wee hours of the morning and have to do something about it? What PWD do every day…
