So about 4 weeks ago, I posted here how my nightly BGs kept running up in to the 250s by 5am (for like 3-4 months). I could not figure it out. One of the members suggested upping my basal at night,…Continue

"I have type 1 diabetes. I have restless leg syndrome which sounds like the same thing you are experiencing. It starts about 9:00 - 10:00PM. To counteract RLS my doctor prescribed one mg of ropinirole at 8:00 PM. It really has made a big difference…"
Jason_D replied to pancreaswanted's discussion 'sticking your strips in liquids other than blood and other curiosities'"Google! What's that? I need to do the crazy conversions. At least I can see I was correct, lol.
Now I am interested in testing more liquids."
Jason_D replied to pancreaswanted's discussion 'sticking your strips in liquids other than blood and other curiosities'"I was wondering the same thing. I don't have time to work through the conversions, but I'm sure it could be figured out. I get the feeling its not real high, because I've tested coke before and it comes back as "hi". When I…"
Jason_D replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Strange Problem'"Intersting, I'll give that a try as well. Thanks!"
Jason_D replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Strange Problem'"Thanks Cheri, I forgot about that, but I used to take a cal/mag supplement, and I was never sure if it worked because of the infrequency. I'm going to grab some and give it another try."
Spock replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Strange Problem'"I really think it is RLS. Mine is infrequent--will happen for a couple of days and then not again for months. I have never had it when awake--except on restless awake/asleep overseas flights...
I have found that a walk around and a couple of motrin…"
Cheri replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Strange Problem'"I get "something" with my legs and movement - not sure how to characterize it, really. All I can tell you is that take magnesium and calcium with a big glass of water a little while before bed seems to "calm down" my legs."
Sandy replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Strange Problem'"I have leg twitches occasionally when I try to fall asleep. I always assumed it's restless leg syndrom as well. Normally I fall right back to sleep, as it's just annoying. It kept me up most of a week two weeks ago (and BS was in range…"
Tim replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Strange Problem'"This sounds like "Periodic limb movement disorder"
Possibly related but not matching your symptoms is "Restless leg".
I myself will sometimes have various twitches etc. while falling asleep. Occasionally I can trace these to very…"
Jason_D replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Strange Problem'"Hi Zoe, thanks for the response.
My doctor did want to put me on Requip, but I did not want to take it. When I read about Requip, it freaked me out, because it said "can make symptoms worse". And, I don't think this is restless leg,…"
Zoe replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Strange Problem'"I don't have experience with it, but I'm wondering why your doctor "passes it off as restless leg syndrome" without trying you on a medication like Requip that is prescribed for that problem?"
Jason_D posted a discussionStrange Problem
I've got something odd that I have been dealing with for about 10 years. Essentially, I go through these periods when some nights whaen I try to fall asleep, as I begin to fall asleep, one of my feet kicks me back awake. This can literally happen 100-200 times per night, and it can take 5-6 hours to finally fall asleep. I'll go though a period of this happening 3-4 nights a week for a few weeks, then it won;t happen for a couple of months. Most nights it only takes about an hour to fall asleep,…See More
Jason_D replied to Sagwabetes's discussion 'Diabetes is ruining my relationship'"My wife and I have been together for 9 years. She eats what she wants. And as long as she is not becoming unhealthy (weight or bloodwork wise), I don't say anything.
I'm not sure if you are married or not, but I do most of the cooking and…"
Jason_D replied to fahdali's discussion 'Weight loss problem'"I am also concerned by this too. I would like to up my protein intake, but I don't want to put added stress on my kidneys. I read that a high protein diet is fine for healthy kidneys, but it feels like a catch 22."
Dean Phillips replied to Jason_D's discussion 'Need to vent'"Poking myself 3 times for one shot was never an option! Hard enough to do the one shot in the first place. So not interested in more pin-cushion action ;) So the pump is fine!!"

Your story is very interesting. Sounds like you've been through a lot. I'm glad that you have found out that insulin helps. It's a life saver for me as well :) I saw that you read my bio so you know how I become a diabetic. In many ways it has saved me, I try to be the healthiest I can be. Do you have a family? I see you're a Market research-Analyst. What exactly do you do?
