I have forgotten many an injection or meal bolus over the years... High 300s, 400s usually. In college, I used to ask my friends to ask me if I had bolused if they saw me eating. I actually needed a lot of help remembering once I switched from MD...

Hi Kelly: Physicians are supposed to abide by "first do no harm." To tell someone who most probably has Type 1 autoimmune diabetes (and requires insulin to survive) to stop taking insulin is extreme harm (and malpractice). The definitive test for ...

Your not crazy at all. btw, the test aren't that expensive and you don't have to show record of trying oral medications to have a c-peptide done. Tell your doc its your right as a patient to know exactly what your body is doing and how can he deny...

Don't do it on purpose. It's dangerous.

Nel, Just to clarify, there are two types of ogtts. The one in pregnancy is 50 g of liquid sugar they test one hour after. If you're not pregnant, it's a fasting reading then 75g and two hours later. If you're 11 mmols or higher you're diagnosed. ...

During a recent tolerance test as a part of a research project I reached a high of 327 (lab result) in 90 minutes with my pump suspended (no basal) and no bolus before the test began. The interesting thing is the 2 hr lab result was 232 and I had ...

Make sure you ask for the whole panel of antibodies. GAD is the most common, but I was negative for that one and had islet cell antibodies.

Stephen Gobin replied to Kelly's discussion 'How high would you go?'
I wouldn't want to intentionally try this out. I already know how bad-tempered I get when my BG starts to climb despite taking insulin. In almost 30 years of T1 I think I've missed giving myself an injection only a few times. I have a dread of run...

The fact that you tested positive for Hashimoto's indicates that you have an autoimmune disease. Those (unfortunately) usually come together. So it is seems probable to me that you also have autoimmune diabetes. Many people assume that gestationa...

Ok. Here's what's happening. My D was discovered in Feb when I was 5 months pregnant. I took the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) which is 50 g of liquid sugar and a test an hour later. It was 18 mmols, so I was put on insulin. They sent me for ...
