Brian replied to LAB's discussion 'Headaches!!! Please help me.'"I would suspect a TIA as well. I would get to a neurologist and have an evaluation. I have had three strokes and they really aren't fun. Please don't delay in getting this evaluated."
Brian replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'How do you watch your preteen make bad choices and not intervene?'"I think you treat her diabetes as an unique part of her being. thus, you give her the things she can handle and let her make her own mistakes. When she does, those times become teaching moments. When she is in over her head, of course you intervene,…"
Brian commented on LysianneAudet's blog post 'Pump users!'"When do you change a site? About every three days. Which sites do you prefer and why? I use my stomach area. It has more padding there and doesn't sting as much when taking a bolus.
Do you switch from the stomach to an arm ? I have never used…"
Brian commented on Dee's blog post 'victoza'"I quit Victoza almost as rapidly as I started it, for the same reasons that you say. It just made me sick, to the point of vomiting and weakness. It was the correct thing to do. It turned out that I had LADA, rather than type 2, as originally…"
Brian replied to Zoe's discussion 'Licuadas aka smoothies'"These sound kinda rich to me. It seems they would be high in carbs. Do they take a lot of insulin to cover?"
Brian replied to Jastine Tabanao's discussion 'Are Type 1 Diabetics allowed to join the army?'"You are correct, Jastine. IT is ah honour to serve. I never did, although I wanted to go. It was during the Vietnam era and I didn't want to get drafted. I got drafted anyway, and failed the physical due to poor eyesight. I recommend that…"
Brian replied to Mike S.'s discussion 'Eating PEEPS at Easter?'"What is the point of a sugar-free Peep? Kinda like diet caffine-free Mountain Des. A product that serves no purpose."
Brian replied to Danboy's discussion 'What 1st Pump to choose?'"I would be interested in knowing how the condom cover works on your pump as well. Perhaps it, too, will generate conversation."
Brian replied to Timothy's discussion 'Who remembers the old test strips and methods?'"Remember the glucose tolerance test? I remember having one of those when I was first diagnosed, and by the time the shoved the needle into my vain for about the fifteenth time, I thought I would have rather been thrown under a bus. Never again…"
Brian replied to Timothy's discussion 'Who remembers the old test strips and methods?'"I remember the Tes-Tape. I had some sort of a meter but could never figure out how it worked. Therefore, it wasn't used.
No wonder that years ago, I just didn't care. A Milky Way is still one of nature's most perfect foods."
Brian replied to T1Forever's discussion 'How often do you visit your Endo or CDE?'"I seems like I see an internist, endo or a CDE about every two to four months with appointments spread out so that everyone gets the chance to see me. I feel as if I receive good care and am in decent control."
