I will wake in the middle of the night with a significant low that the Dexcom didn't catch. It says I'm 90 and I'm 28. Lately…"

SF Pete replied to KatrinaLavis's discussion 'Question to all those on a Pump.'"So it's all a conspiracy?
I have found myself having a lot greater control now that I'm not using Lantus and only need to deal with regular insulin. Your statements regarding basal (basil is an herb) rates indicates that you are very…"
SF Pete commented on Francie's blog post 'Labeled as a "BAD DIABETIC"'"Nice. Next time you see that rancid nurse, tell her that you're not a bad diabetic, but a badass diabetic and that she has your permission to kiss you where you can't reach."
Miss Miss left a comment for SF Pete"Congrads Pete on being featured yesterday! Sorry I was supposed to have told you this yesterday for MaMissy."
SF Pete replied to lisa's discussion 'Any explanations as for why I've got ketones?'"Are you exercising a lot and low carbing it? Burning fat during exercise can also produce ketones."
Marie B left a comment for SF Pete"well the picture of you with manny and Emily just told the story. I remember that orange thing. She's just as beautiful as Manny, they are a great couple. I love her stuff."
SF Pete replied to Sportster's discussion 'Primary Physicans'"This seems to happen a lot. I always had great faith in my PCP because she referred me to an endo. When I showed up for a check up with an A1c of 5.5 (a percentage I was rightfully proud of), she dressed me down for it. She felt it was too low. And…"
SF Pete left a comment for Marie B"Blog? Me? What in the world would I have to say that would be useful or entertaining or interesting? I'm hoping to swing by the gallery where Andriena is showing her work in the very near future. I'd love to meet her in person. When she…"
SF Pete replied to Buckley83's discussion 'Perhaps the worst day in my diabetes career so far!!'"Yup, THAT is a screwed up day. Getting mad at yourself isn't going to do you any good. A little irked at the cat would probably be healthy. The rest of your day was just a result of chemistry gone wild. Not to minimize what you went through --…"
SF Pete replied to Unknown Diabetic's discussion 'T1 Who wants to come off insulin.'"It's not necessarily a good method of treatment. The exercise thing and eating low carb are good on their own, but you'll need the boost that insulin gives you to process those carbs that you do take in. Insulin is a very safe treatment…"

"Thanks so much for a great afternoon, you guys. I really enjoyed myself and I'm absolutely convinced that TuD and DHF are in good hands. Every pun intended."
SF Pete replied to KatrinaLavis's discussion 'Question to all those on a Pump.'"I was very late to the pumping game. I was too afraid that I'd rip out infusion sites left and right. Also, the stories of insertion that I had heard early on icked me out. I went for more than 30 years without one. A couple of years ago I saw…"
