Jim replied to Jacob's mom's discussion 'Field trip to 6 flags!'"No better way to ruin a trip to six flags then to be dealing with low bg all day long. So a temp rate might be good. I would choose to run a little high than trying to maintain the perfect BG level that day.

Hi everyone! my almost 14 year old son jacob is going on a field trip to 6 flags in a few weeks, (9a-9p!) there will be chaperones and a nurse available but not always with the students from my understanding. he does not want me to attend and am ok with that, I am trying to think of this as an opportunity for jacob to be responsible and handle this social experience which he really hasn't had to much of because he is pretty reserved and self conscious about his D. i would say 1/2 of his friends…See More

Still looking for work since this part of South Carolina hasn't caught on to having some decent healthcare. Lots of parents hover over their kids and they don't have a chronic disease so for you to hover isn't really surprising. I would be more surprised if you didn't. Just a thought, but when you have ideas on a new snack or something, maybe share it with the rest of us. We always love to hear of new things to try or something new going on. Best of luck to you and I hope everyone is doing well.

Probably one of the worst things I heard as a kid from docs. and everyone else was "I know how you feel". You sit there and think to yourself about how have you even experienced what I feel. Unfortunately when our blood sugars are out of whack, it's not really us speaking but the nasty sugar coursing through us. Another thing I hated hearing was so and so has this problem which is worse than yours. I don't think there can be any degree set on any disease. They each come with their own packages of symptoms and reactions. Once the blood sugars come down usually the bad moods go away too, but in the mean time, we're just looking for a little support, someone to tell us that we don't have to be perfect all the time and to let us know that we can move on and take better care of ourselves. The best thing I started doing was keeping a journal for my blood sugars and instead of saying crap another high bs, I would physically write underneath hey I caught this good, now I can take care of it.

sweet livy loo's mom said… Hi Amy
Hope all is going well in your world. We FINALLY had our first night without a BG over 200 since starting the pump in February. Scary stuff changing basal rates for the night time. Of course now she is waking up higher so I guess it is time to raise the early morning basal rates too! Keeping on my toes, sleep deprived is so much fun! NOT! (: Hope your Easter was good.

- I used humalog for many years and then recently switched to apidra. Apidra seems to work better for me, it peaks earlier and has a shorter duration. I use to go hypo a lot more on humalog, especially 2 hours after bolusing. But it's hard to say because I switched to apidra at the same time I started using the dexcom cgm so I may be having less hypos due to the cgm. I've never used
novolog.

- Hi Amy! Thanks, I graduated this past may 2011. Sorry im responding so late, I haven't been on here much lately, been busy looking for a job. I'm doing much better now with controlling BG with each pod change. I bolus with the old pod for a meal and then after eating I change the pod. I put a temp basal increase 20% for 3 hours. This seems to be working well so far! :)

You are very welcome! I'm sorry if my concern came across as snarky too. Engineering is a very good aspiration for someone involved w/ diabetes. Unfortunately, I drifted away from math well, sometime around the time I was diagnosed in 1984!
