Jessica Edelman left a comment for Megasaurus_Rex"Hey, just read your forum post on herb and T1. I can honestly say I smoke everyday, multiple times a day and I'm T1 also. It doesn't affect me one bit in the diabetes department. If I get the munches I grab an apple or fresh veggies to…"
Jessica Edelman replied to Clare's discussion 'I kind of wish hypos really affected me more, I might be more diligent to avoid them'"I feel your pain, I'm hypo-unaware as well. I have gotten down to 24 without feeling much but once I read that bg level I certainly started feeling it! Weird!!!
My endo (and she rules) told me to keep my bg a little higher for the next few…"

Jessica Edelman left a comment for Em T1ROC"Just want to say thanks for the friend request and the offered support, it doesn't go unnoticed. I wish I had checked my tudiabetes sooner as I just moved back to the Hudson valley. But, down here is a biker/swimmers/runners paradise, lots of…"
Jessica Edelman commented on Bernard's blog post 'Review of the new Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device'"I use this with the accucheck compact meter, it's my favorite thus far. I have also used a freedom freestyle lite, but I actually really like the fact that the lancing device attaches to the meter. It's made my life a lot easier, and I…"

brokenpole left a comment for Jessica Edelman"Happy Birthday, Jessica!! Hope you have a wonderful day and get to have some fun. Enjoy your special day."
lessthan3u replied to Jessica Edelman's discussion 'Insulin to carb ratios'"My endo's been trying to tweak mine, since my control isn't very good but at the moment its 1:10.
It used to be 1:8, then 1:12, before that 1:15, and before that it was 1:20."
Michael Chappell replied to Jessica Edelman's discussion 'Insulin to carb ratios'"I am actually higher in the morning so my ratio from midnight to 9:00 am is 1:9 and 1:12 the rest of the day, you have to find what works best for you according to your blood sugar patterns :)"
LaGuitariste replied to Jessica Edelman's discussion 'Insulin to carb ratios'"I'm still adjusting mine (T2 here, on MDI or "multiple daily injections", not the pump). Currently a ratio of 1:4 seems to be working the best. I have quite a bit of insulin resistance. My doctor started me at 1:30 which was just…"

- You're coming along JUST FINE Jessica! Do what works for YOU...diabetes is very much of an individual thing. Don't forget to test while at work....and put some little healthy snack in your pocket to take in case you nose dive while working (I'm prone to lows also!). You can also have some snack already prepared ahead of time, and packed in a zip lock bag in 15 grams of carbs portions :)

It IS very much of a blessing that you are already very familiar with the
physiology of your body...AND that you are BF with fruit. Though fruit are high in carbs...they are also packed with fibre. Better to munch on an apple than to drink apple juice!!! This is very much a learn as you go process. You have come to the right place Jessica...a place to learn, to grow, to support and to share, all the while meeting new people and making friends!
Keep in touch,
luv....linda
