Yup, I'm quite a character!! And if I hear one more person tell me that, I'll think my molther is alive again and nagging!!!

It's going a little better now. I have an actual assigned case manager, nurse manager, nurse and nursing aide assigned to me and they all agree that I don't belong in here. Maybe an assisted living situation. But, I want an apartment of my own and my own things. I'm just terribly lonely with nobody visiting and no activity from the therapy department.

Lisa, I just saw the Yellow Poodle! Yours? I have a friend who is always having her Poodle dyed crazy colors!

Hi Lisa Thanks for your advice on my highs. It was an insert/site issue. I have a fairy high sensitivity to insulin. 1 unit usually drops me 80-85 points. 9 times out of 10 if I have 2 consecutive very high sugars it is an insert/site issue. I have had some added stress lately and some issues with my teeth which is not helping matters either.
Thanks for your comment on my boy Llyr. He is in a cart and taking physical therapy because he has a disease called Degenerative Myleopathy. It is becoming very common in Welsh Corgis. It is a neurological disease where they loose the use of their front legs and eventually their back legs too. The best comparison is ALS in humans. It is believed to be genetic and there is no cure. The only good news is there is no pain associated with it until it affects their respiratory system (which is the end stage) Hopefully that will be a ways off. And I will have to help him to the Rainbow Bridge before it comes to that. We are enjoying each good day for now.

Thanks for the note. Missy is doing as well as can be expected with the trauma that has been inflicted. There are some medical issues still be worked on but she's out and about and back to work part time. Thank you for your continued support. It is very kind and it is much appreciated. Have a good one! :)

Thanks for the decorating comment. Not sure how I did it. :D

Pretty much. Im still researching : )

Lisa,
I wanted to make you aware of the TuAnalyze application we've launched on TuDiabetes, which is now mapping averages of A1c values in the US and Canada...
http://www.tudiabetes.org/forum/topics/tuanalyze-now-mapping-canada

Actually, once we get more people in Canada to participate in the project, provinces there will begin to light up.


Here's how you can enter your A1c on TuAnalyze:
-Click on this link: http://www.tudiabetes.org/profiles/profile/apps
-You will be taken to your My Apps page.
-Give it a few seconds. At the top, you will see something similar to this image.

-Click on the button and follow the rest of the instructions on the screen.

Oops - I just realised in a comment I made about your 60:40 ratio that you're on a pump. I should have checked first before answering. All I can say is, that on the pump (taking a break since April - you can read my blog about it at Diabetes1.org ) - I had similar ratio on the pump as you. I've just transferred it to my MDI routine I'm doing right now (wanted to go back to my grassroots of diabetic management for the day I can't afford the luxury of a pump). Looking at eventually moving to Ontario where they pay for pumps for all age groups if you qualify. Does New Brunswick have that yet? I know a few Canadian provinces due - but only for children.

Psst - welcome to Tudiabetes!
