My friends convinced me to write a book on diabetes. It was fun, but a lot of work!
My book is now on Amazon, and I plan a Kindle version also

4 years of pumping
Posted on March 6, 2011 at 10:09pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
Today is a special day for me, it marks 4 years for me on an insulin pump. I can't believe it has gone by so fast.
Starting out
I really don't like needles, so I liked the idea of only one needle every 3 days. I was on 70/30 novolog / NPH before the pump, and my A1c was 6.9, but my fasting numbers were really high at 200 to 250 (11.1 to 13.9). I had hopes I could drop my fasting by 40 points.
The first morning after pumping all night, my glucose was 107 (5.9)!… Continue

Pumping for T2's
Posted on January 21, 2009 at 11:41am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I was asked by a Cozmo rep at a diabetes expo if they could use me in their advertising.
I said yes, even though they offer no compensation or frebies.
There was one mistake in the article that I missed in my checking, my average glucose went down in 2 weeks, not my A1C!

Starting a local support group.
Posted on December 10, 2008 at 4:30pm 9 Comments 0 Likes
The nearest diabetes support group is 60 miles each way, so I decided to start my own.
I took the diabetes forecast article http://www.forecast.diabetes.org/magazine/features/success to my local small town newspaper, and they did a feature article on me and diabetes, including my announcement of the forming of the group.
Uploaded pictures of the article.

Kathy said… Hi Lloyd - thanks for sharing my joy. It has been quite the wild ride.
Also thanks for the tip re the picture. Now I'm thinking that I might write each person an individual note says that I won't be coming to the unit anymore but that I appreciated all the strength and courage I gained from knowing them.
Have a good weekend.
