Yay Humalog! After three terrible months of Apidra
I spent many years on Humalog and never had an A1C higher than 7; usually it was 6.2 or 6.3, and sometimes dropped down into the magic 5 realm. But the downside - which really became clear when I started using a Dexcom six months ago - was many many nighttime lows. So I did some research and discovered that Apidra has a shorter "tail" - i.e. stops acting earlier after a shot - so I asked my endo to put me on it. Well! Just got my A1C results: 7.5! It was 6.3 three months ago. Yikes. No more…See More

Djinn replied to earthling's discussion 'So much blood - What do you use to clean up after you prick your finger?'"Ha. I lick. This is a vast improvement on my youth when, as a black-clad teenager, I wiped my fingertip on my socks. It was the 80s - we had big socks."

Jack's Mom replied to Djinn's discussion '???' in the group Dexcom Users"WOW! That's super funny ... to me! Wire sticking out of your abdomen - too much. I am surprised you were still properly thinking! I always thought trying to insert this thing on a squirming two year old. I think you take the cake while doing it…"
Djinn replied to Djinn's discussion '???' in the group Dexcom Users"Thanks, Jack's Mom. When I woke up it was reading 260 and my BG was 80... with no directional arrows. And then it went back to ??? I think what happened is that when I was inserting it yesterday, I pressed the plunger down (I was doing it from…"
