Im really hoping I am not the only person who feels this way. All through school I absolutely hated "healthy class". My main reason for despising it was due to that movie "Supersize Me" . Its not so much the film I have an issue with....as much as…Continue

Dr Bernstein on Insulin Pump Therapy

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

My Battle with Basals: The Final Battle!

Posted by Justyna on May 25, 2013 at 7:46am 0 Comments

It may have taken longer than I intended but last night at midnight I finally completed my 24 hours basal test (which took many more hours than that).

My Battle with Basals: Day 3 - How NOT to do a Basal Test!

Posted by Justyna on May 24, 2013 at 7:11am 5 Comments

After failing to do my 4pm-midnight basal test the previous day due to all the craziness that ensued (and my high sugar reading at the start of the test) I decided to go all the way and fast for almost 24 hours to get my 8am-midnight readings in one shot. I was determined!

The night before, having no need to fast I made sure to stuff my face in preparation for the day-long fasting torture the next day. I even set my alarm for 3am in case my sugar needed adjustment, as I needed it to…

Ways to Lower Blood Sugar!!

Posted by Stress on May 24, 2013 at 5:53am 3 Comments

A new study published in the American Journal of Medicine has revealed a potential benefit from the use of cannabis. The article, entitled “The Impact of Marijuana Use on Glucose, Insulin, and Insulin Resistance among U.S. Adults,” investigated the blood sugar-related effects of cannabis use among participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2010.
