Getting Proactive About Diabetes

Getting Proactive About Diabetes
If, in most cases, type 2 diabetes is a preventable illness why do we wait to treat the illness instead of working harder to prevent it? That’s a question posed by the UK based diabetes.org. They’ve come up with a solution.

As of this report there are around 2,000 individuals signed up to raise funds, donate, get the word out or adopt a healthier… Continue

My A1c after much work ...

My A1c today was 6.6. I'm actually really disappointed in that. I've been going low a lot lately and haven't been having many highs (I go slightly over 11 (200) only a handful of times a week for the past few months). I was really pretty sure it would be under 6.5. A 6.6 corresponds to an average blood sugar of 7.9 (143) which is much higher than the daily averages I've been achieving. I've been putting in SO much effort these past few months—logging everything, exercising more and eating better… Continue

We are Back, and the Pump is here!

Well now we being the steep learning curve of the pump. Yes I am sure its easier than the shots and it does sound way better, but man there is a lot to remember. We will go to the dr. in decemeber to learn how to use it. DD is wanting to go now. However i have no sick leave left at work and can't afford to take off of work to learn how to use the pump. Yes I know it is her that is going to be using it, but I need to know how to use it as well. I will be still checking before i go to bed and will… Continue

Thanksgiving

As I sit and relax on Thanksgiving, all things considered, I find myself feeling pretty thankful. I’m thankful for my family. I have a beautiful loving wife and three beautiful teenage daughters. They have been very supportive and truly are my incentive to stay healthy. I’m also thankful for a great physician and support staff in his office/practice. He has equipped me with the medicines and the basic knowledge I required to start controlling my diabetes.

But I believe I’m most thankful for the… Continue

Thankful it's not 1940

I'm really glad I don't live in the year 1940. If you are a surviving diabetic from that era, you have my respect and admiration.

I picked up a book at the thrift store a while back - "Diseases of Metabolism". This was advanced disease management in 1942. A hefty section is devoted to diabetes. It's interesting for sure. No use of the terms Type 1 or Type 2, just diabetes innocens and diabetes mellitus.

Anyway...I'm thankful I have a pump and CGM, and insulin analogs. Check out t… Continue
