When a 10 year old knows as much about carb counting as you do - it's simply AMAZING!
On the weekend in Ottawa, I met up with Catherine, our god daughter and her son Aaron. It was a short visit, as we were doing the rounds on visiting our families, something we don't do that often, even though Ottawa is only a 2 hour drive. Weekends are precious for us working stiffs, so getting away can be difficult as I'm sure you all can relate to.Anyway, I think the… Continue

Basal Testing Day - D Minus
After experiencing some wacky daytime blood sugars (BG's) during the last week, I decided to go ahead and test out my basal settings on my Animas 2020 insulin pump today. I have never a daytime basal testing before, sad to say, and as in my prevous blog, I had asked others - "how often do you test your basal rates?". No comments yet, and it makes me wonder, are they like mysel… Continue Posted on November 2, 2009 at 10:21am —
Stress, Stress and more Stress
My blood sugars the last few days have been abit wacky in the morning as well into the afternoon.. I reached a high of 20 mmol/l the other day, something that occurs once in a blue moon for me, even when I was on multiple doseage injections (MDI). It was to the point where I wanted to chuck out the insulin pump the other day and go back to 8-10 injections a day! Then I thought, hang i… Continue

- Dear Anna;
I can offer you to come and stay in my Villa during your stay. Would love to go to the event as well. Who is organizing it? Emirates Airlines has good rates from the States and is a great Airline as well.

Varena Ngai said… - It's only when I join the forum that I learnt about the pump. Perhaps because I am T2 my endo didn't think that I'll ever need it. I'm on oral med and insulin. My bg is getting progressively worse over the years. My pancreas must be dying. If I can go on the pump, I'll jump at it. It sounds so easy. It is going to be expensive though. Medical here is very expensive here and diabetic care is not covered by insurance. Subsidized medical care is sub-standard. My friends on subsidized care don't even get their a1c checked regularly. Just fasting sugar check during their regular visits and they are sent home with pills and insulin - whatever the doctor think they need. My endo ,on the other hand, will demand to see my log on my daily bg and make suggestions on how to bring it down and check my a1c 3 months every time I change my regime.
Is that you on a motorbike with a red jacket? Wow, so cool. You really live life to the fullest. I've always wanted a Vespa. Love it when I was a teenager but my parents forbid it.
