MapleSugar replied to ckurpiewski's discussion 'Go straight to insulin?'"Hi!
My situation isn't exactly like yours - I'm male, among other things - but I think that I could usefully add my opinion.
First of all, taking my realistic fears of long-term serious glycemic damage into account, I would not want to…"
Baby Tee replied to MapleSugar's discussion 'Two questions' in the group Diabetics With Eye Problems"1. PDR = Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (typically info is given for Proliferative Retinopathy, but when it is blamed on diabetes, then they add the D. Twinchick did a great job discussing it already. (I remember when PDR was Physicians Desk…"

Two questions
Hi!I was diagnosed with Type 2 about two years ago, I guess, and I've had one diabetes-focused ophthalmic examination since then. She found no retinopathy, "senile cataracts" at a stage which I understood that I was supposed to ignore for the moment, and some kind of asymmetry in (or between) the optic nerves which I also decided to ignore for the nonce.My questions are:1. What is the PDR which everyone here discusses? The DR is easy enough, but what is the P?2. Will keeping my blood glucose…See More
Sandy replied to MapleSugar's discussion 'Needles Bending' in the group Needle Diabetics"Maple sugar I had the same issue when I first started. After awhile I realized I was very slightly moving the needle. I now go straight in and out. It could be a flick of your wrist to make the needle stay straight. Just practise makes perfect."
MapleSugar replied to Jacob's mom's discussion 'Any advise for teen sad about his D?'"This isn't quite advice, but a remark on my limited experience with young people (early twenties) with type I. I met the first two long before I was diagnosed, and the third before I was on insulin.
1. A pretty, cheerful young lady who gave the…"
MapleSugar commented on JDavid's group 'Needle Diabetics'"Ahh. I always do that anyway.
I seem to remember that the instruction sheet included with my needles, or insulin, or something says always to squirt a little out of the needle into the air while watching, before you actually inject, to make sure…"
MapleSugar commented on JDavid's group 'Needle Diabetics'"Hi!
What does "priming the needle" mean?
Thanks. M."
Kain replied to MapleSugar's discussion 'Needles Bending' in the group Needle Diabetics"Hello, was just browsing the TU boards and updating profile & basically stumbled across this thread.
I've had needles bend before but I'm also a fairly long term T1 Diabetic & as most know you need to rotate your injection sites or…"
MapleSugar commented on JDavid's group 'Needle Diabetics'"Hi, Bill!
"How do you keep from getting a Bruise does anyone know Thanks"

Hi!I think that it would be convenient for me to add a link to http://www.diabeteschart.org/bloodsugarchart.html , or to some similar table of HbA1c || plasma glucose conversions (or to an online converter) on my 'page' at tudiabetes.org . How can I add such a link?Thanks. M.See More
