"My total Lantus dose per day was 100 plus carb counting and Novalog with meals and for corrections. So I can understand your frustration. I have 3+ basals in my pump but my A1c is now a 7 and my bs are more stable.Wish I had some solace for you. I…"

Brian (bsc) replied to Cathy's discussion 'The pump novolog and no results!'"I have to tell you, U-500 is not really a rapid insulin. It lasts much longer than Regular insulin and much much longer than Novolog. If you look in this article, you will see that the recommendation is that it is recommended that you use a 2-3…"
terryb1967 replied to Cathy's discussion 'The pump novolog and no results!'"Yes, I can relate. I also use Novolog in my pump I go through the entire 3.0ml reservoir in one day. My basal is set at 5.0. Today I switched to U-500 which is suppose to be 5 times stronger than what I was on, still no help my sugar went up more…"

PowerPumper replied to Cathy's discussion 'Pumping feeling hungry 24/7 and gained weight'"1300 calories a day is not enough. You are starving yourself. ATo lose fat you do need to cut way back on your insulin usage, but starvation doesn't work. That means eating high fat.
Also control the quantity of food you eat. Too much bulk can…"
The Diabetic Welfare Queen replied to Cathy's discussion 'Pumping feeling hungry 24/7 and gained weight'"Very, very, very true!
I also mentioned it because I noticed on her profile that she is a Type 2, on oral meds and now the pump. Type 2's often need to take TONS of insulin to overcome that insulin resistance, if they aren't on a low carb…"

For ten years I have had a hell of a battle. Nothing from the get go has worked and I mean I have tried almost everything and a combo of those together. Well finally I got a animas ping yeah alright. Well it still in the 300-400 range. Getting no where and my endo out on maternity leave and 3 hours away I am getting frustrated to say the least. If not for my good friend Suzanne on here I would have lost it.

I did the dumbest thing this morning!

I got up and took my Lantus and glyburide and checked my blood sugar. It was 99 which was great, usually mine is in the 200's. So because of not being use to having 99 blood sugar in the morning I did not think much about it and was really tired so I went back to sleep. I was awakened by my older son by loud music so I said well I mind as well get up. When I did that is when I started feeling odd. I checked my sugar and it was 57. I have never had a low and not felt it coming on or not been… Continue

I can not get my sugar down. It is staying for 2 weeks now around 300-400 and my vision is so blurry. I keep falling a sleep and I can't drive because of it. I woke up yesterday at 3:00 P.M. Because I was so tired. Can you believe that? I keep forgetting things to.To make it worse the things I am forgetting is my meds. When I do take them on time it doesn't bring it down. I take Levemir, byetta, novolog, glyburide and nothing is helping. I feel like crap. I want to throw all my meds in the… Continue

The purpose of groups
Posted on February 2, 2009 at 9:53am 12 Comments 0 Likes
Hi, I was just wondering the purpose of groups? I have joined a few and no one ever talks on them. I figured it would be a great place to meet other diabetics that have similar interests and converse with them, but no one ever says anything. So why even join one or have one? I wish the groups worked out better, because it would be nice to converse with people with similar interests.

- Hi Cathy,
I'm a writer with Diabetes Forecast magazine and I'm writing an article about women with diabetes who have given birth. I've noticed you have type 2 diabetes and children. Did you have diabetes before getting pregnant? If so, would you be willing to speak with me this week or early next week about your experience?
Best,
Tracey Neithercott

The weather was cold and nasty here this weekend. It felt like Dec. weather and I hate cold weather. Take care and talk to you soon!
