"Agree, Dr B's sentiments about pumping are off the mark, IMO. Change your infusion sites every 3 days and scarring will not be an issue. A pump should make maintaining a level basal much easier and allows square boluses to cover…"

Leaky Gut Syndrome
Started this discussion. Last reply by Aimee May 3. 1 Reply 0 Likes
I have recently learned of leaky gut syndrome. Some seem to think it is a factor in nearly all, if not all, autoimmune disease. My understanding is that it is caused by diet. I have Type 1 diabetes…Continue

Aimee replied to GlacierLily's discussion 'Leaky Gut Syndrome'"Hi, I have been studying and researching and experimenting with this for quite a while. You could look into the GAPS diet. I have been on it for a few years. Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride, who wrote the GAPS diet(Gut and Psychology Syndrome) can be…"
Pumper1994 replied to GlacierLily's discussion 'Who pumps and is low carb?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"There are pros and cons and I agree that dr. B arguments against the pump are a bit weak and out of date. I have been "successful" using the pump and dr b food plan, etc. I use a normal bolus for carbs and then square bolus for pro. I also…"
David (dns) replied to GlacierLily's discussion 'Who pumps and is low carb?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Full disclosure: I don't pump and have my own personal reasons. And, I am a Dr. B. semi-fanatic. All of that being said, no one ever bats 1.000, not even him. No rule is right for everyone, and I think his pump arguments are a wee bit too…"

Who pumps and is low carb?
I am seriously considering the pump. I am on levimir and it doesn't last. I inject in the morning when I wake up and in the evening before bed. I tried to split it into three doses. I tried splitting the nighttime dose by giving myself half at about 10 pm and the other half at about 2 am. That worked better but it still wasn't perfect. And, I was sleeping through my alarm on occasion and waking up too high. Then I tried splitting it into 3 doses by injecting about 7 am, 3 pm and 11 pm. I kept…See More
GlacierLily replied to CaryJ's discussion 'Observations from a newbie' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Has your son split his lantus dose? If not, that could be explaining the afternoon highs. Lantus DOES NOT last 24 hours, although I'm sure the folks at Joslin are telling you it does. He should take half his dose at bedtime and half his dose in…"
GlacierLily replied to Super_sally's discussion 'How do you inject < 1unit of insulin on MDI' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"The rubber stopper moves. Thinking back, once it was hard to suck the insulin out and I had to give the rubber stopper a push. It was just stuck. Other than that one time, it has not been a problem."
GlacierLily replied to Super_sally's discussion 'How do you inject < 1unit of insulin on MDI' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"I suck my Humalog out of insulin pen refill cartridges. I do not inject air- I just suck. I've been doing this for 5 or 6 years and have never had a problem. If I get too much, I just shoot the extra out into the air. I like it because the…"
GlacierLily replied to Super_sally's discussion 'How do you inject < 1unit of insulin on MDI' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Yes, Gerri is correct. The first unit marking is 1/2 unit. I take 1/2 unit almost on a daily basis with my BD 1/2 unit marking syringes."
GlacierLily replied to Otter's discussion 'Bernstein's blood sugar targets' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"No, it is not possible and Dr. B would not claim it is. But depending on how extremely anal you want to be, it is possible to stay relatively close, say less than about 100 most of the time. I am type 1 and I do not achieve that, but I try."
GlacierLily replied to Super_sally's discussion 'How do you inject < 1unit of insulin on MDI' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Bernstein will eyeball 1/4 unit! He would correct 110 with 1/4 unit. He uses syringes with 1/2 unit markings. It is easy to line up with the 1/2 unit mark because the lines are MUCH thinner than the standard syringes."

Other docs, other than endos, are perfectly capable of treating T1 diabetes. When dealing with uncooperative hospitals (ie they want to put diabetics on sugar IV's) Dr. B recommends threatening a…"
GlacierLily replied to Ashley's discussion 'Advice needed from moms....' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I have had 2 healthy, full-term, normal weight babies. My A1C was never above 5.8 and got as low as 5.1. I found that the first trimester was the very hardest to control BG's. I had swings from 40 to 200. As I'm sure you've read, you…"
