christy replied to Aimee's discussion 'Too good?'"I would recommend a new doctor as well. I mean if you were having a LOT Of lows, then yes there may be some validity to your dr's concerns. BUT if your numbers are well managed and if you yourself do not feel that your good control is…"
William Michael Kemp replied to Aimee's discussion 'Too good?'"as I mentioned, I am 50 years a type one, 63 years old. I am hugely brittle, have always been so. I have no inherent glucagon production, and have, over the decades, experienced harrowing lows. I have been measured, upright and functional, with a…"
"When I was diagnosed T1 at 50, the first book I read was Bernstein's. I tried to follow his wisdom and his recommended diet. Eventually I read a couple more books and found this site of smart, kind and helpful folk. I modified my approach to…"

acidrock23 replied to Aimee's discussion 'Too good?'"As many numbers are involved with diabetes, it seems very logical to try to improve them. Like fantasy baseball or running-- two other "numbers games" I've played, if your team gets 10HR one week, you want 11 (or 12, or 15!) the next!…"
"I tried to have that conversation with my (second) endo last year and he laughed. Said I was too stubborn for such a newbie. After only a year, I was hardly in a position to argue. I'm not interested in arguing anyway ..... just finding someone…"
"Thanks! I think that I've been too afraid to switch because he does rubber stamp all of my requests. It would be refreshing though to have a conversation with a more like-minded doc. Perhaps you folk are fulfilling that need. I appreciate your…"

Hi ,
You may have noticed TuD hanging around the site. It's his 6th birthday this month, and his big international family of people with diabetes is growing. Our 6th birthday fundraising campaign is on! Every dollar you donate allows TuDiabetes to reach 6 people touched by diabetes, giving them the opportunity to not be alone!
Please consider making a donation, as well as asking your friends and family to give what they can. TuD's birthday party will keep getting more guests as we raise more donations (see top of the home page). Let's help keep our family thriving and growing! Please share this message. Thanks!
