garidan replied to Pavlos's discussion 'I'm falling apart . . .'"I think you have to restart from this: - your insulin sensitivity has changed
- your stomach has something (you took Pepto)
So adjust your basal (lantus): try to start with a good bg in the evening, skip breakfast and don't eat till lunch. Find…"

Jim replied to Pavlos's discussion 'I'm falling apart . . .'"To me something doesn't add up. When you said you drank a 2 liter of Pepsi and that kept you from going low, you would need a lot of insulin on board to cover the carbs (41 Carbs per 12oz) in that 2 liter of Pepsi. Do you know how much insulin…"

Pavlos replied to Pavlos's discussion 'I'm falling apart . . .'"First off I'd like to thank you all for your input.
The update is that last night I used a new Solostar Pen (Lantus) and I didn't have any dramatic lows. However, I do seem to be following the patter for gastroparesis. Just a few hours ago…"
Pavlos replied to Pavlos's discussion 'I'm falling apart . . .'"I use Humalog U100. Unless someone at the factory filled a Solostar Pen with Humalog instead of Lantus then I'd say the problem isn't a confusion of insulins."
Pavlos replied to Pavlos's discussion 'I'm falling apart . . .'"I was on the pump for three years and I loved it. But then I started getting one "no delivery" alarm after another and finally it got to the point where every time I had to change sets I was going through 5-6 infusion sets until I'd…"

Marps said… - *blush* Thank you for your comments on our baby girl. I'm so excited to meet her! We see her again in another ultrasound tomorrow. Since I'm high risk, we see her about once per month. She is 24 weeks this week. Almost done!
I look forward to your email. :)

- Thanks! I guess it's prolly been a little over a week since I got spammed from you. I'll take the restriction off your email address then, so I receive your emails again. :) I'll try to remember to log into my account when I get home from work to read what you've written! :)

- Hey, no I didnt get it. I'm still getting spammed from your email address, so it might have gone right to junk mail. Can you re-send it and tell me what the subject line is so that I know which one to open?

- Hi Pavlos! Just popped in to say hello. Abby said hi to me a few days ago after the insulin shock coma. What a damper, huh? Hope you are well along with your two babies! Write me sometime. You've got my email and address. :) I'm putting together a type 1 based book / collection of short stories and poems. If you'd like to include something... I'd be honored to see what you've got? Want to write a short story about type 1? Interested? It's going to be published by Spring 2011. Got about a month and a half or so?

- Things are getting better. I just got approved for an apartment last night. Going to be moving in on next saturday. I've wanted to live in this apartment for about three years now. I'll be on the 21st floor. haha. Like my own little Manhattan because I can't afford to live in NYC. haha. It should be fun. Will be scary to be on my own for a while, but it will turn into something exhilarating, i'm sure.
He and I have stopped reading to each other. That lasted about a week. haha. Life is starting to get in the way and I'm just ready to get on my own now. Tired of this in-between stuff. All my stuff is in boxes and I don't feel like I have a home, even though his parents already told me to stay as long as I want to. Just ready to paint the new apartment, move my stuff in, and settle my roots.
