Carb Counting by Example
Correct carb counting is very important. The members of this group can present pictures of their meals and the estimated carb counts. This way we can improve our judgement and learn to overcome common mistakes by sharing our experiences.
Holger Schmeken replied to julez_79's discussion 'tummy bruising and injections getting more painful....any tips?'"That tendency is unfortunate for sure. Thankfully I rarely hit blood vessels. But if this happens I will take a spoon to cool the location and to stop the internal bleeding. This is more helpful with pens but for blood gushers it can help too."

Your feedback on Glucosurfer.org
October 2008
In the year 2005 I stopped to manage my written diabetes diary. It all seemed a burden to me and the benefits for my glycemic control seemed so little. I looked for solutions to manage my diary online with my mobile phone. But the solutions I found wanted me to reveal my identity. Luckily I met the right people at the institute for diabetes research and we developed our own solution called Glucosurfer.org that is usable in full anonymity, free of charge and financed by donations.
Everyone who is curious what this system can do for you is invited to take a look at my personal diabetes diary that I am managing daily (use the mouse to drag the diagrams):
http://www.glucosurfer.org/goto?diagram&language=en&user=278&share=3788281
I have created the group Glucosurfer.org users and I am looking forward to read your constructive feedback or questions there.
In some phases of our lifes we will struggle with our diabetes. Here the community with all its experienced diabetics can offer its helping hand. Even if you are not using Glucosurfer regularly you can use it for times of crisis. Just log your values for one or two weeks and share your Glucosurfer log with the community. I am sure you will get the support and encouragement to address your problems.
January 2009
Users of Medtronic or AccuCheck pumps can now upload their pump files to Glucosurfer.org. This is very convenient since these pump models are acting as digital diaries.
November 2009
We extended our import filter to support the XML files of the Dexcom 7 CGMS.
January 2010
Now we can import the data files of the OmniPod via Abbott CoPilot and the Animas Ping via its management software. Many thanks to those members of TuDiabetes who donated their data files to make this happen.
March 2011
Our first App for Windows Phone 7 has been published in the marketplace. The trial version will allow the full management of your Glucourfer diary. If you are willing to support our project with $0.99 you will have access to the estimated Insulin on Board (IOB) and more diagrams. You can click on the Link below to be redirected to the Zune Store:
February 2012
Our first App for Google Android 2.2 has been released. You can download the App for free from our website or you can support our project with $0.99 via the Google Marketplace.

Insulin for glucose that is clear but potassium?
Posted on December 9, 2011 at 5:00am 8 Comments 1 Like
With diabetes and insulin therapy we all develop better senses for your body. Just for the benefit of detecting lows earlier for example. For months these senses are now telling me that something is not right. I could feel my heartbeat more than usual and I got the impression that sometimes there were beats in between. This is not unusual even for healthy people but for me it felt odd.
Now some blood tests have revealed that I have a deficit of potassium (called…

The World Diabetes Day 2012 is months away. But still I want to urge you to take action now to make this day a success. Many people must be convinced and this will take precious time.
Because of that we wrote our local major very early this year. Our document is based on the official template of the Word Diabetes Day organization. We just included some photos and appended the official UN resolution. The document has been printed in color to make an impressive presentation. Out of that…

Now short before my fourties I had a full exam at my Diabetologist who is also specialized on Cardiology. The checkup revealed that I am really lacking fitness. For my age the heart rate is too high and the output generated in the cardio excercise is not where it should be. To me this is no surprise because of my job in the IT business. This is going on for years and my doc always appealed to me to change something about it. This time he did not appeal - he made the following order:…

I had my quarter meeting with my diabetologist (specialized endo) yesterday. My A1c came back with 5.5% and this is the lowest A1c I ever had. There are several reasons for this A1c but the most important one is the use of analog insulins. I have used Actrapid and Protaphane (NPH) from 1987 to 2005 with success for my A1c (around 6%) but many negative side effects. In the year 2004 to 2005 it was nearly unbearable because I had far too many lows at night (have I slept in these two years?).…

jrtpup said… Our Annual Campaign is coming!
Would you consider helping by writing a short comment/testimonial about your
experiences at TuD? The main message for the campaign this year is that no
one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
(http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/why-i-participate-in-this-community), or message to me from my page.Thanks my friends!
