I like the intellectual goofiness of New Yorker cartoons…"

Zoe replied to LiL MaMa's discussion 'Brittle Diabetes'"Hey guys, there is no such thing as "too little" or "too many" carbs. We are all different. Many people on here do very well with Bernstein level carbs (30 per day) others eat lowish to moderate carbs and some eat more. It is…"
Zoe replied to sdkate's discussion 'I need advise on dealing with docs'"Actually, it's not every country where we "need docs to get our meds, etc.". I lived in Guatemala for two years where you could buy any medication at the pharmacy with no need for a prescription. To get a lab test you just appeared at…"
acidrock23 replied to Zoe's discussion 'Yeah, I know, it's silly...'"I am sort of the same way, in DOC terms, it sort of reminds me of the CWD "curists" vs. the PWD "test strips" debate that broke out when the JDRF said they weren't going to pour all of their money into "the cure"…"
Zoe posted a discussionYeah, I know, it's silly...
But am I the only one that really hates that new DHF avatar?? Every time I see it I cringe; it is so moronic looking to me. Maybe I have no sense of humor, maybe the internet has burned out my cuteness meter. I know the idea is that "DHF is six years old". But I am not six years old, neither is anyone else who posts on here. We vary in chronological age but most of us are pretty amazing, bright, self sufficient people who that goofy character does not represent! Were we asked about this and was…See More
Zoe replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'Do you have problems on the third day?'"Not at all. I generally aim for four days. I don't always make it, but it's usually because I don't have enough insulin left to make it through the night without an alarm, or I have a kinked canula which occurs at various days. I…"
Zoe replied to ckurpiewski's discussion 'Go straight to insulin?'"Frankly, I would seek a new endo. She is not very knowledgeable. Antibody tests ARE reliable and it DOES matter what type you are and the concept of having "a mild case" doesn't mean anything at all. Also Humilin is an outdated…"
Zoe replied to Cactus Rose's discussion 'POSTPRANDAL BLOOD SUGAR'"You might consider going on mealtime insulin. That's too high for your postprandials.
Many of us are at our most carb sensitive at breakfast and that's a lot of carbs with no nutritive value so you might want to consider different…"
Zoe replied to Lyna's discussion 'Weight problems.'"Weight gain can become a problem with insulin. When you first get diagnosed your body is not functioning right and you often lose weight; when your body regains the weight that is a sign of health. But some of us go on to gain weight after this…"
Zoe replied to LivinWiththeBeetus's discussion 'Animas ping?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Most people are concerned about tubing ahead of time and that it becomes a non-issue once they get their pumps. I haven't heard great things about Omnipods. I've had a Ping since 1/11 and am very happy with it. The tubing is no big deal. I…"
Zoe replied to Lotus's discussion 'Carb sensitive???'"I agree with Gerri. "Under 180" is what many doctors suggest but it is actually quite high. It does take awhile to get doses right and you probably need to be back on mealtime fast acting insulin dose determined by I:C ratio."
Zoe replied to Lotus's discussion 'Carb sensitive???'"What was your blood sugar when you felt that way, Lotus?"
Zoe replied to Annabella's discussion 'Dr Bernstein on Insulin Pump Therapy'"Thanks, David. I actually wasn't attributing that view to Brian (or even Dr. B as I don't know if he believes that), just saying that some people do, in fact hold that view, and are encouraged by their doctors which could in turn be an…"
Zoe replied to Annabella's discussion 'Dr Bernstein on Insulin Pump Therapy'"Are you saying there is something Machavellian in the man? I think there is in all true healers. What I don't believe Dr. B for a moment to be is someone just in it for the money or the books. I think he is a true believer. True believers are…"
Zoe replied to Annabella's discussion 'Dr Bernstein on Insulin Pump Therapy'"Much research that is so freely bandied about on the internet these days confuses correlational relationships between variables with causational relationships between those variables. In other words, two things can occur together without one thing…"
Zoe replied to Zoe's discussion 'Weirdness in Extremities!'"Thanks, Rick. I actually do have a cardiologist who treats my arrhythmia and I mentioned it to him but that was about a year ago.
I haven't heard about that, and I'm sorry you have it. Can you tell me a bit more what it is?"

Stemwinder said… Hi ,
You may have noticed TuD hanging around the site. It's his 6th birthday this month, and his big international family of people with diabetes is growing. Our 6th birthday fundraising campaign is on! Every dollar you donate allows TuDiabetes to reach 6 people touched by diabetes, giving them the opportunity to not be alone!
Please consider making a donation, as well as asking your friends and family to give what they can. TuD's birthday party will keep getting more guests as we raise more donations (see top of the home page). Let's help keep our family thriving and growing! Please share this message. Thanks!

David (dns) said… Zoe, My comment was not directed at you; if I didn't make that clear, please let me say it now and remove all doubt. I do have to say, however, that I think you are wasting your energy trying to reason with someone who won't be reasoned with, and who simply will not hear what you say. You're attempting to move an immovable object.
Best,
David

MissKitka said… Zoe,
I hope you have gone to your local shelter to scout for a new Kitteh friend. Last time I only made it to month 3 before I went and found Miss Kitka. She chose me, not the other way around ha ha!!! Animal friends understand chronic illness much better than any human I have found. She is known as her royal highness, princess, and many more names and is always close to me when I need her. She does not mind being an indoor cat and I hung a bird feeder outside a window where I placed a perch for her. Being diabetic for 53 years and ultradian bipolar since 1963, she always is near when I need her. Cats should be in charge of the world and then it would be great place for sure.
