Why don''t they believe us? A Vent

I figure that most of us here, and on other diabetes forums, have a good handle on things. Yes, sometimes we get thrown by something, but by and large we are doing a good job. We do what we are supposed to, we don't do what we're not supposed to and…Continue

My Battle with Basals: Day 1 - the overnight fasting test

Posted by Justyna on May 22, 2013 at 6:50am 0 Comments

As I got ready for bed around 10pm on a Tuesday night I prayed that my blood sugar would behave itself at least until I start my overnight fasting basal test. I really didn't want to put it off any longer. My sugar hasn't been great lately. I've fallen off my work-out and healthy eating wagon and I desperately wanted to climb back on it again.

Hot Weather Woes

Posted by Dee Meloche on May 22, 2013 at 6:40am 0 Comments

Each son was a fine hitter and my wife, I and the family loved going to the games and we followed them all over the Midwest watching them play.
