I don't want a pump for several reasons. Primary reason is the initial expense & the additional expense of supplies. Being connected & tethered to something all the time gives me the creeps. This doesn't have anything to do with making diabetes mo...
Oh man, what a pain! Been toying with getting a CGMS, but it's too much damn work.
Congratulations! What incredible numbers. Happy for you & know that took a lot of dedication.
Dave's right. High BG sucks out the energy out. Before the thirst & headache hit, the first sign I notice is feeling really tired.
Eating lower carb meals you'll need less insulin. Yep, less carbs, less insulin, weight loss. Having enough protein...
Lantus is a basal insulin. Type 1s & some Type 2s on MDIs (multiple daily injections, as opposed to pumps) take basal insulin (one or two injections daily) & rapid acting for meals. Type 1s can't eat whatever they want simply because they're takin...
Like the others, I find it difficult to follow your posts. They're a combo of your theories & gross misinformation.
Insulin immersion? Where in the world did you get this? Higher doses of insulin than needed causes hypoglycemia, possible coma & d...
Welcome, Claire!
Hi Jessie,
Great that you've had a endo who has been wonderful. Too bad you've got to move on to a new one. I loved my pediatrician (wasn't diabetic in those days) & went to him until I left for college. He teased that I was his oldest patient & ...

Bronagh said… - Thanks a lot!! I changed my mind on the PhD...I read up on it and realised it's the Msc that I want to do...which isn't to say that I won't go on and do something further next year, but for now I would rather spend a year on the Masters and get that, and then work out from there where I'm going to go.
I'm with you - there are so many possible reasons that corrections take a while to kick in at night that really, it feels like there's no way to be sure what's causing it meaning there's no reliable way to fix it! It feels like for the past few weeks, I haven't managed to get a decent night's sleep because I either wake up high or low - it just never stays the way I want it to, and now I've messed around with my basal rates so much that I don't even know if I'm doing more harm than good. Wonderful, lol.
I like it...that could be are selling point! "Hibernation...the key to world peace." Ah, if only!
What have you been up to? Hope you're well :) xxx

- Thanks for your note Gerri. I probably shouldn't have said anything, but armchair diagnosis really makes me crazy. And you're right- there are so many bad reactions to antidepressants that it's dangerious to encourage that without knowing the whole story. At the very least, that should be up to a trained professional.
All the best,
Mark

- Lovely to hear from you Gerri, I was thinking that I had to get in touch with you last week and just didn't get the chance yet!!
All is great with the new roomie, and classes are scary but good too. BG numbers aren't looking so good this past few weeks though, which is a bit of a bummer because I'd been doing so well and now it seems that no matter what I do, the same rules don't apply anymore. When I correct, it seems to take ages for my numbers to drop...and then it's as though they just keep dropping so that by the time I'm going to bed I'm wondering if I should eat something small to prevent a low or if that's going to make me high again. Hate that!!
How's everything with you?? What have you been up to?
I'm with you on hibernation...do you think WOG has any say in that? Because if we do, I think we should enforce compulsory hibernation for at least 3 months of the year...I'd love a bit of that right now, lol.
Hope life is treating you well and sending you some hugs back! xxx
