Latest Activity
I was told to limit my carb intake to ~45g per meal. However, I think I used NPH *and* Humulin R (a faster acting insulin) together. I experienced poor BG control because of my active lifestyle and unpredictable work schedule. I'd have to snack ofte…
So, did you have to avoid carbs? Or eat at certain times of day? And eat basically the same foods all the time? Based on how we treat our daughter's T1, this approach is so different, I'm just trying to understand more about it. Thank you for your r…
Does your friend follow the "shot at 7am and shot at 7pm plan" with a fixed dosage? Does she take any fast-acting insulin as well? I am glad it is working well for her.
Thank you. I will encourage her to get more info, and to possibly seek a different endo. I am worried about her control (or lack there of) with this current plan. But, as Michael, who replied below said, maybe it isn't broke, she doesn't need to fix…
When I was first diagnosed, I used Humulin N (NPH) twice per day. It works well for people who eat the same types of meals everyday (i.e., food that give predictable BG results). It was fairly limiting for me, which is why I switched to Lantus and N…
I know a type one who is on an intermediate. When I asked her why she responded that she has been doing so well on it they are reluctant to change. If its not broke, don't fix it.
What I was wondering is if she actually may be a type 2 instead. It just seemed strange to me that she doesn't count carbs or inject before or after her meals. She injects a certain amount of Novolin N at 7am and another amount at 7pm. That's it. Ot…
Hello,
Someone we know was diagnosed with diabetes at 46 years of age. She says she has Type 1. Although she checks her BG often, she only injects Novolin N twice a day, once at 7am and once at 7pm. Does this sound like she has Type 1 or Type 2? Our…

Charlotte
Our daughter, Charlotte, was diagnosed on October 6, 2008, about 3 weeks before her 2nd birthday. Her BG was 699. It was a grueling 3 days in the hospital, but, luckily, she won't remember any of it as time goes on. She will not remember her life before diabetes either. I am eager to learn as much as I can, and to help as much as I can. I feel so helpless sometimes, I want to do whatever I can to help our daughter and others who live with diabetes.
I am also eager to hear anything and everything about the latest advances in diabetes research... I am so glad I found this site.
