Choosing between the three pumps in Canada
Started this discussion. Last reply by Mayumi Jan 24, 2011. 7 Replies 0 Likes
I have seen the three pumps available to me in Canada, the Medtronic Veo, The Animas Ping, and the Accucheck. I have listened to the sales associates explain to me each pump and their benifits. I…Continue
Wondering if my insulin is going bad.

I was sick a week ago (I never realized just how much insulin you needed when sick). However now I am better (I think) and yet my sugar levels refuse to drop. I use a lot more insulin than I…Continue

When I was diagnosed last year I felt a mixture of all the negative emotions one could think of (anger, self-pity, hopelessness and guilt). I felt alone amongst other people and wondered if there…Continue

latvianchick commented on Jeffrey M's blog post 'Prednisone and type 1 diabetes'"Yes, it will put your sugars up and probably cause weight gain, but if you double your insulin intake and keep testing it is doeable. Far better than a failed liver. Same with the weight gain. It will go once you stop taking the prednisolone. I have…"
Jeffrey M commented on Jeffrey M's blog post 'Prednisone and type 1 diabetes'"Thank you everyone. Just wanting to make sure of what others felt pertaining to the side effects besides the raised bg's. Thank you to everyone"

TooSweet4MyOwnGood commented on Jeffrey M's blog post 'Prednisone and type 1 diabetes'"I was on prednisone twice last year due to an allergic reaction I kept having. It did cause a rise in my blood sugars but my endocrinologist adjusted my insulin and I corrected when needed. I did find that they second time around my blood sugars…"
veterandiabetic commented on Jeffrey M's blog post 'Prednisone and type 1 diabetes'"OK. It is bad, but it's not that bad. What I would try doing is temp basaling, but instead of decreasing your insulin, increase it. See what happens. start at like +10% for 1hr and go up. Also, this is just my advice, contact your endo for…"
"Jeffrey,
Don't be scared of taking Prednisone. Yes, it does do a number on our Bg's, but that can be taken care of. Are you doing an I:C ratio for meals? What I (and many of us do) is increase our basal (Lantus or Levemier) and / or…"
Jeffrey M posted a blog postPrednisone and type 1 diabetes
I have had type 1 for a year and just found out I have another auto immune disease called auto immune hepatitis. I have been temporarely put on prednisone but I have hesitant to start it since I am scared S***less of the side effects and the fact that your bg's sky rocket. I was just wondering if anyone has taken prednisone and has diabetes and is willing to share anything. I am curious more of the side effects and how you dealt with it while being able to live a "normal" and productive life.…See More
Kathy commented on Jeffrey M's blog post 'Post Surgery and Bg Levels'"Don't think I'm a nutty crazywoman, but I like to bop around TD and randomly leave people music videos. Hope your B Gs are better.

Jack commented on Jeffrey M's blog post 'Post Surgery and Bg Levels'"After my surgeries a few months back my bloods were all over the place because my routine was affected by the hospitals routines, 3 meals a day. The doctor had to write up a fourth meal for the evening! And I was also on antibiotics and pain killers…"
latvianchick commented on Jeffrey M's blog post 'Post Surgery and Bg Levels'"Yes! And your liver is traumatised after the biopsy (I do not envy you! I had one, and it damn well hurt!) which is probably why it is throwing out more sugar. It should settle down.
I have had several operations recently mostly minor and it could…"
Teena commented on Jeffrey M's blog post 'Post Surgery and Bg Levels'"Ive had elevated bg levels after a back surgery 3 years ago. It ranged from 180 to 220) It took 2 days before it actually went close to normal. Just like Les, they took me off metformin and gave me insulin shots. Im not sure if they attribute it to…"

Post Surgery and Bg Levels

I had a liver biopsy the other day and I have been experiencing elevated BG levels afterwards since the operation. Has anyone else experienced elevated BG levels post operation?
Where to put sites for Pump
Posted on February 11, 2011 at 2:44pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I know this may sound like a ridiculous complaint. However, I hardly have any fat and I was wondering where site would work with little body fat and less pain. I am not on the pump yet. Looking forward to it in the near future, however I was wondering about this when I do get one.

SF Pete said… I'm in San Francisco now. I left Massachusetts when I was 13. But they asked for your hometown, so there you go. I have very unpleasant memories of waiting for the school bus in despicably cold weather and having to keep everything covered so it didn't freeze. Currently we are cloudy with a 70% chance of rain with a balmy winter temp of 57 degrees F. I'm not good with the celsius conversion so if you don't mind, I'm going to rather ostentatiously gloss over it. So, Toronto, eh?
