Sam F replied to Sarah's discussion 'Lows at the Beach'"Does it go low at other times too? Your basal might be a little high. I know that when I was first diagnosed, my doctor put me on 16 units of lantus, but this was WAY too much. I would go low at random times, and I never knew why. I eventually…"
Sarah replied to Marps's discussion 'What Do You Think is the Cure For T1D?'"I am in a study for newly diagnosed Type 1's using adult bone marrow stem cells. It is hard to tell if I am getting the real thing or the placebo as I may be having lows due to the honeymoon phase. However, since the infusions, I have not used…"

Sarah posted a discussionLows at the Beach
SO I live in Virginia Beach and have been going to the beach twice a week since the warm weather started. However! Ive noticed that, just sitting in my chair doing nothing but sweating in the sun, lowers my blood sugar tremendously! I checked it today at the beach and it was 55! Ive completely stopped taking insulin at lunch time if Im going to the beach. Has anyone else noticed this??I was diagnosed with Type 1 a little over 4 months ago. I have also been involved with a stem cell study and…See More
"I think being in any kind of study involves some nervousness (a lot at times). I've had tests with EDIC that I would never undergo with normal doctor visits pertaining to my diabetes. EDIC did a corotid ultrasound (to ensure the corotids are…"
Sarah replied to Sarah's discussion 'Participating in New Research Study... Anyone else???'"yes that is amazing! Actually, My endocronologist referred to that study you were in at my last appointment! Thats so cool! I have my screening on Monday to see if I have enough insulin producing cells left to be apart of the study. They can only…"
Anthony Holko replied to Sarah's discussion 'Participating in New Research Study... Anyone else???'"Dear Greg.
This is wonderful that you have been able to stay in the study for so long in spite of moving."
"I was dignosed in 1987 and went into a nationwide study in 1989 (DCCT). The study began in '83 and ran to '93, When it was complete, they started another study (EDIC) with all of the DCCT participants (1,444 of us). EDIC ran from '94…"
"good luck.. If I was eligible I would totally be in on it...
I hope you get in, you get the drug, and finally that it works.
Ivan!"

Anastasija said… - Yeah, I also have to adjust what I am eating to my insulin dose. Sometimes I am not hungry at all, sometimes I want to eat lots.
The most horrible situation is when people snack around me. Especially at university where I constantly see all the vending machines and hot chocolates...mmhh... I guess I have to stop thinking about it xD
I also was not throwing the unhealthy stuff away from our fridge but was more like "I will eat this marmelade until its finished and then I´ll buy no more". So this his how it goes for now xD
Now I have 2 NovoRapid @ breakfast, 4 @ lunch, 6 @ dinner and 8 before sleep which is alright, but I can get it down even further if I eat properly (i.e. diet). My levels are around 10. Usually ppl get hypos under 4, but I start shaking when I am around 5 which is really annoying sometimes. Right now, I am just experimenting and see how my body and blood sugar reacts to different things. Sometimes when I go to bed and use 6 units of Levimir I end up having a higher glucose reading in the next morning sometimes xD
I have no clue right now, but I guess that the more time passes on, I would be able to handle it better.
Are you doing any exercise? And are you scared about the possible future complications?

- Hey Sarah!
Are you managing your blood sugar well?
Mine is up and down like crazy. Can´t focus on anything right now except on me having diabetes and changing the diet, exercise etc.
How is your "regime" and how many units do you take?
I use pens as well, but I am not allowed to doese myself yet which is a bit annoying. How far have you changed your diet?
