"This is very inspiring to read! I have been working hard at getting my A1C's low enough to get the OK from my doc to begin trying to get pregnant, and sometimes feel like it will never happen. I'm glad to see it's possible :)"

Started this discussion. Last reply by Nicole Mar 27. 11 Replies 0 Likes
I know that keeping a log is the best way to ensure good control. When I keep a log, my A1C always improves. I am having trouble finding a method to keeping a log that works for me. I've tried…Continue

Hi Everyone,Just wondering if anyone knows how to properly calculate the carbohydrates in a recipe, or if there is a website that gives you the conversions? I made a batch of delicious banana muffins…Continue
Concealing your site
Started this discussion. Last reply by MyBustedPancreas Jan 31, 2012. 10 Replies 0 Likes
I am wondering if anyone has tried concealing their site? I feel like it wouldn't be so noticable in a bathing suit if it was skin colour. Does anyone have a trick for making it look more natural?Continue

Nicole commented on MissKitka's blog post 'After 8 months of snow and ice spring is finally here'"Gosh, this song reminds me of being a kid!!"
Nicole replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'Do you have problems on the third day?'"I also stretch my site to 4 days, sometimes 5, but by then the site begins to get sore, so I change it only for that reason. I switched to Sure-T's a couple of months ago, and they recommend changing every 2 days! Ya right!!"
Nicole replied to Dave.Ladner's discussion 'Need some help with testing...'"Hi Dave, Welcome to the site! I went through a period of only testing 2-3 times per day, and getting a slap on the wrist at every doctor's appointment. I started setting alarms on my phone. It would go off every couple of hours, That got me up…"
Nicole replied to Karen's discussion 'Pump Site Changes'"No, I've tried training my husband, but he has no interest in learning, and I would never depend on him for a site change. I'm sure if I was low enough and needed him to do a test for me, he would be able to do it.
And my cats are useless…"
Nicole replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"Bah, I'm on a Medtronic pump. Thanks for the suggestion though."
Nicole replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"Thank you, I'll definitely take a look. I'm on my phone ALL THE TIME so I think this might be the way to go."
victoriarachel replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"I have used the app OnTrack. I suggest you check it out. It helped for about 3 months, but then got off of it. I recently made a template on my computer and use it daily. I take screen shots and post it on my blog. Posting it on the internet has…"
Lexi replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"I think that you could benefit most from an app. If you have a smartphone you could try OnTrack Diabetes. I've used it for over a year and I could track insulin, carbs, exercise, A1c etc. I don't know if it can help you with temp basals,…"
profrennie replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"I use the glucosurfer.org web site. Its designed to work on the web, and with smartphones. I use the web interface and the android version on a generic tablet. I think it can manage uploads from pumps. I just enter data manually.
The man that…"
smileandnod replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"I fought logging of any sort for years but became diligent about it a couple of years ago when I hit a rough patch with my diabetes. Now I feel lost without it.
I use a small memo pad type spiral bound notebook that is about the same size as my pump…"
ddubs replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"i phone has a really cool app for this, very smart with alerts and all sorts of cool stuff!"
Terry replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"I no longer keep any handwritten records. Instead, I download my insulin pump, CGM, and BG meter. The pump supplies basal and bolus records, temp basals, total daily dose, and amount of carbohydrates boluses. The CGM provides up to 288 BG data…"
pancreaswanted replied to Nicole's discussion 'Keeping a Log'"uggh, the logging! i have tried a million ways to sunday and have the same problems-without the pumpy things. i have yet to find an answer. i start logging and i find myself not logging 3 days later. i dont have an answer but i am all here in…"
