TAGgers UNITED
"Total Available Glucose. The premise behind TAG is that a portion of the protein and fat content of the meal will also contribute to carb loading above and beyond the actual carbs in the meal."
JD replied to Danny's discussion '12-24 Hour Flatline' in the group FLATLINERS CLUB"I'm a TAGer and didn't know it. I use Diabetes Pilot bolus calculator. Part of the calculator is for protein grams. When I became Type 1, I could not figure out how a zero carb meal made my BG go up. Protein affects BG!
Here are my DexC…"

lisa c replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"I find my body will not accept insulin if dehydrated, even just a little. other things that have caused me insulin resistance re melatonin, lack of sleep.
Suggest increase water."
JD replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"I had a day like that. In the 150+s and can't get it to budge. It is as though the insulin does not work some days."
Steve D replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"I couldnt agree more...whenever I go less than 60 it starts an awful rollercoaster ride. If I go less than 50 I know my next read will be over 300 (I guess I tend to over correct) I know the highs are (long term)more harmful but the lows (especially…"
JD replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"This is what I get for bragging. Fell of the 100% boat the very next day. 71% in target. I had 29% in low, with a low of 52 (ooops). My avg was 91 with a high of 129. My SD was on 17.
I hate the lows because they can start a roller coaster.…"
Natalie ._c- replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"Congratulations! I had a pretty good day yesterday -- never went over 200, but haven't downloaded it, so I don't know the SD. But I have to admit that it takes a lot of work to do that, and a lot of care as to what I eat and what I…"
Ron Doyle replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"Congrats, I'm on my first Day...hope I learn to do as well."
Norma Coello- Plum replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"Wow, congratulations!!! I was just thinking of that- having a white line day challenge. It's not as easy for me. I have to say there are many times that I go red or blue, but am getting better each day."
JD replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"I don't. The DexCom software does it for me. I put an attachment on my original post. It is the math for the day I'm talking about."
Clare replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"Dexcom software calculates it for you. But SD is a measure of how far/often you "deviate" from your target number. So the higher the number the more variable your blood sugars have been. Most glucometers come with some kind of software…"
lisa c replied to JD's discussion '100%' in the group Dexcom Users"you guys are awesome! How do you calculate SD?"
