scary low blood sugar story – what would you have done..?
Started by julez_79 in General Diabetes Topics and Pre-Diabetes. Last reply by Christopher 30 seconds ago. 9 Replies 0 Likes
Pride goes before a fall as they say. After a few weeks of wonderful BG control, I just had the most frightening experience since being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 10 months ago. It all started with my lunch, for which it seemed I had…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
Does this mean my spikes don't last long?
Started by Christoph in Type 1 Diabetes Forum. Last reply by JohnG 54 minutes ago. 2 Replies 0 Likes
I just want to clarify something with A1c as a representation of good control. I know spikes can skew a good A1C reading, SO:If I have 90% of my diabetic life had A1C's of 6.2-7.5, but never had a significant problem with LOWS, then it is unlikely…Continue

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…

Anxiety and depression are two sides of the same coin. I have a genetic predisposition towards anxiety disorder, and I thought getting my first degree in psychology would help, and it has to a point, but an academic understanding and living with generalized anxiety are two different things.
Depression manifests in my life through feelings of confusion, sadness, and feelings of isolation. They are serious, not to be messed about with, the depths of despair. I have had these issues…

Failure....I think not!
Posted by Stemwinder on May 17, 2013 at 9:17pm 2 Comments 1 Like
Sometimes it disturbs me when I see members who feel they have failed. It disturbs me because there is no failure in diabetes; failure only comes when we give up. As long as we strive to do what is necessary we have not failed.
Some Type 2s feel that to go on insulin will be a failure, but it’s not a failure it’s an escalation of the battle. I am a long term Type 2 who is fully insulin dependent, in the minds of some I am a failure because I have to take insulin, I beg to differ. I was…
