Moderation is a good idea for everyone, in all things. Many times, I downed a couple of sixpacks on Metformin and I'm still alive. But I wouldn't recommend it. If your kidneys and liver aren't top-notch, you might just become a Lactic Acidosis "st...

- Abe, I'm envious of your ability to go anywhere in Australia and get a VB. It's one of the best beers I've ever had, and it has been many years since I last had one. I wish it were available here in the states - it would be an instant success.

I have used a pump since 1995ish? Or so and I would never go back to taking shots. It’s a much easier way of doing things, much safer to drink alcohol with since you can turn off the insulin if you go low and can’t eat unlike long acting with shots and a lot less drama to use in general. I used to take shots for many years before. The pump is much easier and more effective way to go. Everyone should use a pump even non-diabetics!
You youtube videos are really cool!
