When I tried the Freestyle, I was like 40 points higher. At my last A1C draw, sugar result with the plasma reading was 22 points under what I had tested on my One Touch Mini (taken 2 minutes before the test). Oddly, I think that has helped me sust...
Great news...confirms Faustman's experience that once the defective immune system is supressed...the body regenerates insulin secreting capabilities...even in longstanding T1. Things seem to be coming together...hopefully it will translate into av...

Popcorn. 2-4 oz. of the popped kernels spikes me about 150 points. Must be all that sugar in the butter!
I had tried Lantus and was using if for a while but my body seems to do strange things with basal insulins, which was why I had perfected my old regime with UL + NPH (actually, I suggested to an old endo and he agreed to try it -- worked pretty we...

I don't know about continual increasing, but I just switched to Levemir and my CDE said that her patients usually require 40-60% more levemir than other basal insulins. I was concerned since I am taking just about 50% more Levemir than my prior La...

Kristin said… - Hi Mike! Sorry I just saw your question about the Maxima meter. My dad uses it, which I suggested based on this article by David Mendosa, who reviews meters testing their accuracy.
Hope that this helps!

- Now that the wife switched to the Omnipod, I have to switch to a Freestyle meter. I have three Freestyle Flash devices already but I have like 16 boxes of OneTouch strips to go through. That's a lotta blood. Anyone want to swap OneTouch for FreeStyle strips ?

- So my wife is switching pumps from a Paradigm to an OmniPod. So our closet full of Paradigm supplies will change. When looking at ebay, it appears that either people don't (or can't) resell those. Any tips on selling those to people who already use their Paradigms?

- I'm usually in the Boston area there once or twice a year (family, friends, a pint at Roisin Dubh, etc). I do have a family blog but not a diabetes one. Although I have been working on a diabetes-related blog idea with my wife -- she's also a type 1 with almost 30 years of hardened experience).

If you're in Massachusetts, then we may almost be neighbors. I'm north of Boston on Rt. 495.
Do you have a blog that you write on or are these just reports?
