Lows in public, without money.

I keep glucose tabs in my purse and car. If I keep candy, I won't stop at a few, and next thing you know, I'll be up to 350. Glucose tabs work because I'll only eat them when I actually need them. ...

Thanks April, I broke my honeymoon with cheese tortellini and a meat sauce last night. Looked like I had it till I went to sleep, was just under where the pump would have alarmed. I have Hi set to 240, I played in the 200-239 range the whole night...

I use the dual wave whenever I'm eating something pretty fatty or any pasta. I generally do 65% now and the rest over time. Pizza is 4 hours, Chinese/Italian is 2 hours, anything fried is 1.5 hours, ice cream is 1 hour. It's not perfect, but those...

Hi Jacky, I've been diabetic for 15 years and I am still learning. There is so much i don't know! What is CGMS? I love this website tho', i have learnt more in 3 months from it, than in the last 10 years! I also find it better than seeing a shrink with regards to the depression and moods and emotional stuff. Everyone here can really relate and thats what i've been missing. Stay well!!
