SF Pete commented on BriannaM's blog post 'How Much Do You Spend?'"I'm with Kathy on this one. I'm a long-term diabetic and with retinologist visits twice a year and various odd things that come up during the year. This year was a remarkably bad year. I put $4000 in the FSA. I took it all out by the end…"

SF Pete replied to rubidoux's discussion 'Q I've always been afraid to ask...'"You know how we say, YMMV? In this case I think it's very true. I've had some significant lows. 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 commented on queer diabetic for universal healthcare's group 'Queer Diabetics'"Hey, Folks -- I was wondering if there was any though being given to another SF meet-up? I missed the last one so I was hoping there was a desire to get together again. Any interest?"

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…"

SEAGATOR said… Hello Pete. We had wild storm #4 last night and we are gearing up for another one. Russ is in a big blue stocing. He has no fractures or blood clots but his foot has fluid and inflamed. Cannot walk on it so I am his Caregiver. So there goes the weekend. Tom comes tonight so that will be a big help. You doing anything exciting? Take good care and have a good weekend. Reed
