I tested at 117 when I went to bed last night and woke up at 110. Flat lined overnight. Checked at 11 this morning and was 195. It started to rise at 9:30 and at 1 point, jumped 50 points in 20…Continue

I haven't been sick in over a year, and when I do get sick it never affects my blood glucose reading.... . Now I have a cold. It skyrocketed my BG overnight. I have eaten about 20 carbs…Continue

I decided (this took real bravery on my part) to inject my MM sensor into my thigh today--first time. My abdomen is a mass of bruises, as well as a new skin reaction I seem to have to the IV…Continue

Spock replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'What are we afraid of?'"Thanks a lot, Zoe. I am so amazed that anyone would hang in there like he has. So many ups and downs, but he is always right beside me. He is my miracle."
Spock replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'What are we afraid of?'"My thoughts after 50 years..
Have you ever had dreams about diabetes complications? What are they like? Not since I was 11 and told I would not live to be 50. Turning 50 was a major moment of success. Still had weird moments about a Toti Fields…"
Spock replied to artwoman's discussion 'Why don''t they believe us? A Vent'"Just a thought... You do not need an endo for scrips. My PCP writes all my insulin, etc, scrips. He is not up to date on pumps, so the only reason I see the endo yearly is so he will continue to OK my pump supply prescription.
But AR was referring…"
Spock replied to artwoman's discussion 'Why don''t they believe us? A Vent'"My response is a very skeptical and hard approach--Docs are too busy and too restricted by rules and money to truly care about patients. I see it all the time--plus a lack of knowledge. I have asked questions about pump, CGM options, and it is all…"
Spock replied to Spock's discussion 'Long...but so typical for D.....'"Thanks. Maybe I will try it again."
Spock replied to LiL MaMa's discussion 'Brittle Diabetes'"Everyone is speaking to your insulin regimen, but you have not told us what it is, at least in this post. I also looked at your other posts and noticed that as far back as 2010, replies have noted too few carbs/too much exercise as the problem, but…"
Clare replied to Spock's discussion 'Long...but so typical for D.....'"It did not affect my BG at all ! Bolused 3 units for the pasta and tomato sauce, meatballs and milk for dinner. I figured it was about 30 grams of carbs. 1 hour after dinner my blood sugar was 151. I swam for an hour and was 75 afterwards. and am…"
Spock replied to sarahhope94's discussion 'A slight rant on people who use the word "diabetes" to describe type one and two...'"The general (non diabetic) public is absolutely clueless."
Spock replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'Do you have problems on the third day?'"Absolutely not. And I wear a pump set for 4 days consistently with little difference between Day one and Day four. Even do five days occasionally without problems.
My biggest problem, after ten years of pumping, is placement of the set. Running out…"
Spock replied to Spock's discussion 'Long...but so typical for D.....'"Tried Dreamfields and it affected my BG readings just like regular pasta. Let us know the results, Cat."
Spock replied to Spock's discussion 'Long...but so typical for D.....'"Amen. That is why TU is so important."
Clare replied to Spock's discussion 'Long...but so typical for D.....'"As Siri replied to my post, T1 D is doing the same thing over and over and over again and never getting the same result. Live, learn and move on. I just ate a 56 gram serving of Dreamfields Spaghetti with meatballs. Supposed to be 5 grams of…"
bojibridge replied to Spock's discussion 'Long...but so typical for D.....'"I hear you - the most frustrating thing is when I think I did everything right (and that has worked before!) and for some reason, s**t just decides to not work. At least it's nice(?) to know other people have the same problem sometimes."
Spock replied to Spock's discussion 'Long...but so typical for D.....'"After doing the Type 1 thing for over 50 years, I know stuff happens, which is why I was ranting.
It frustrates me to the core when I play by all the rules and nothing works. I guess I reached the very bottom of the barrel with this episode. I…"
Sam Iam replied to Spock's discussion 'Long...but so typical for D.....'"Sounds delicious, and you were able to cover pretty well. The 273 is a little scary. Chinese is tricky (at least in the US). Some of the dishes may have more or less sugar on any given day. Even the wok could have been glazed with a sugary dish,…"
