Have any pumpers noticed a difference between Humalog and Novalog?
Started this discussion. Last reply by med464rescue Oct 10, 2010. 15 Replies 0 Likes
I got my prescription refills from my endo this morning. I mistakenly asked for Humalog instead of Novalog. Total brainfart. I actually have plenty of Novalog pens to last me until my next refill,…Continue
Which post meal BG do you log?
Started this discussion. Last reply by solobaricsrock Jul 4, 2010. 2 Replies 0 Likes
I get the impression that many of us are testaholics. I usually test my BG at least 3 times post meal, at 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours, sometimes more than that on days when things are screwy. I…Continue

FHS replied to Mike777's discussion 'Water/Pod Adhesion Question'"Sounds like fun!!
Bradford has some great ideas as usual.
Apart from the idea of the pod getting beat up,however, I found that when I'm active, the probability that a pod will fall off is directly proportional to the amount of sweating I…"
FHS replied to Jeff Simms's discussion 'racing and insulin'"Good luck and grats!
I'm not a distance runner, a T2, or on MDI, but i definitely lower my basal dosage if I know I'm going to be exercising or more active than usual over a period of time longer than 20ish minutes. I don't think you…"
FHS replied to Tom's discussion 'Traveling with the 'betes.'"I start with a checklist of all the diabetes supplies I would need for the duration of the trip, then double the amount of everything. All of that goes in a carry on that does not leave my person as long as I'm in transit. The longest trip out…"
FHS replied to Jonah's discussion 'Jet Injector'"Dr Charles was my endo for over 20 years until he retired. I remember when he got the study mentioned here. He was pretty excited about the jet injectors and I wish I could have gotten the chance to participate. From my conversations with Dr…"
FHS replied to timmy's discussion 'my first diabetics a1c results and finished my ironman ride!'"Grats on everything! All great accomplishments."
FHS commented on Sara's group 'Athletic Diabetics'"Hi Shadow,
Opsite works great. It's extremely moisture resistant."
FHS replied to Timothy's discussion 'Duputrens contracture and type 1'"Here's a paper showing that up to 60% of males over 60 from Bosnia and Hersegovina have some form of Dupuytren's:
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2474/5/10
The bottom line is that there are, apparently, a lot of contributing factors and…"
FHS replied to Timothy's discussion 'Duputrens contracture and type 1'"I have it. I started to notice it somewhere in my early 40s, but I can'be be sure when it started because I've always had callouses from lifting weights. I thought it was just another callous. It's pretty much identical to the picture…"
FHS replied to MatthewHubbard's discussion 'Exercising & Type 1'"Np.
Yup, pretty much that.
However, under normal conditions, the use of fatty acids to produce energy is not an inherently more wasteful process. In fact, much more energy can be produced from fat. Both glucose and fatty acids are oxidized (stripped…"
FHS replied to MatthewHubbard's discussion 'Exercising & Type 1'"I replied to Holger regarding this point in more detail, but you hit the nail on the head.
The whole point of basal testing is to determine the correct does of basal insulin to counter the conversion of glycogen to glucose in the lvere and…"
FHS replied to MatthewHubbard's discussion 'Exercising & Type 1'"I follow your logic here Holger, but I think a couple of things need to be clarified.
I don't think you mean to say that the liver releases glycogen at all. Glycogen is just the storage form of glucose and doesn't circulate in the blood to…"
FHS replied to eknight003's discussion 'Type 1 diabetes and energy loss during strenuous exercise'"I don't know the answer to that.
When I was on Lantus, if I worked out prior to a meal, usually before dinner, I never bolused. I never had a particular problem going high during a workout, so I'm assuming that the Lantus was covering my…"
FHS replied to eknight003's discussion 'Type 1 diabetes and energy loss during strenuous exercise'"As diabetes, this system is all broken to hell. First, no matter how hard you workout, without insulin, your muscles cannot use glucose. So, even while you are working out, you have to have some insulin working to allow muscles to use glucose. As…"

Why Standard Deviation of Blood Glucose can be a meaningless number for diabetics:
Posted on January 4, 2012 at 12:50pm 58 Comments 0 Likes
What is Standard Deviation?
Standard Deviation, or SD, is an estimate of the variation within a data set. In other words, it's an estimate, just one way to determine, the spread, or cluster, around your average.
Why would I use it?
Let's say I want to know something about a population of fish in a lake. Let's say I want to know ranges of sizes in length of those fish. There is no way that I can catch all the fish and measure all of them…
