Great advice all, but I would still recommend a candida regimen for awhile, as I described previously, if this persists.....Take care.....

GIRLFRIEND !!!! DON'T MESS AROUND WITH THE STORE STUFF. ASK YOUR GYN-OB TO GIVE YOU DIFLUCAN. A 5 day regime and a some numbing cream ( can't remember the correct name) to stop the pain. Just remember, antibiotics do something to the system in a ...

last week I finally got the shot.I went to the local walgreen's and had them jam that thing into my arm. I'll tell you what it hurts when they stab you with the big old needle.

It sounds to me like you need a 7-day course of Monistat or Gynelotrimin or similar treatment. The 1-day and 3-day treatments rarely work for me and the diflucan never worked for me. Everybody's different though so YMMV. I think and OB/GYN is def...

Lost Sense of Lows Again!

I have been having more low blood sugars again and have lost my feeling of going low.I have lowered my numbers in the hope of getting it back.What usually happens is I go high about 3-4 hours after supper.So I take an injection of 1 unit of humolog and I sometimes combine it with a correction bolus.I seem to get back on target about 1 1/2 - 2 hours later but when I check at 2 am. I go low.I recently checked my basal rate at it is good.I am a little upset with myself for allowing it to get so out… Continue

Night Basal cont'd....

I am so mad right now.This morning has been the 3rd morning where I woke up and my blood sugar has been high.My basal right was good.I tested and tested and I still seem to have not gotten it right.I'm trying to stay positive and strong but it is so maddening.I had a couple of lows but I counted the hours between the lows and highs and there were a good 17 hours in between so I don't think it's from that.I just will have to test throughout the night some more and be patient.
Wish me well.

Night Basal

It has been my 3rd night that I have tested this basal rate and all seems to go well.One night I did go a little higher than the 1.7mmol but I think it was due to a supper that was high in fat because last night's was good.I was going to change it but I'm glad I tried it again.I will keep testing throughout the night for a few more nights to be completely sure.

Hello Dee, thanks for the comment, i have thought about the pump many a time but its simply a fact of insurane. If my insurance wont cover one, then i can't get one because well... we're definitely not rich lol. But yeah i also am very iffy about the pump i dont like the whole being attached to a device thing lol.

Anyways thanks for the comment sorry it took me a while to get back to it

The one touch Ping is great, love it so far. The learning curve isn't that bad actually. I was a little intimidated at first but not so bad now.

Hi Dee,
Got your Sugarstats-related message and passed it along to Marston, the founder of SugarStats. He keeps a constant eye on the SugarStats group here in TuDiabetes, just so you know.

Take care and have a great day!

Hi Dee! Thank you for your note! Part of the reason I'm lurking around in tudiabetes is to find out if a) it's possible to get pregnant and have healthy babies, b) to raise physically and emotionally healthy kids (I'm not the best person when I'm low or high!) and c) to be around long enough to watch them graduate and get married (and maybe have kids!)

You answered all that! Thank you very much :) My husband is happy that I've found a community that can help me not simply from a medical/scientific/numbers point of view, but from real life experiences. I don't know very many people with T1 and I really appreciate all the people that have been very open with their good and bad experiences of diabetes :)

Since it is now 2:45 a.m. Wednesday, I will send your book out later today. That is, if I don't forget it laying on my computer table!!!

Hello Dee, the Glucosurfer.org project is a free online diary. There are different options how your data can find its way into your diary. It can be done manually via mobile phone or our web site. Or you just upload the data files of your pump and everything will be filled automatically. This convenient way is possible if your pump is documenting also the glucose values for you. This can be done with the bolus wizard of the paradigm and I am quite sure that the Animas works similar. If the Animas Management Software can export your data as a file (CSV or XML format) then it is worth a try.

Dee:

I'll root around and find the book. I will put it in the mail when I get paid on Wednesday since I have no money or stamps until then. I know I saw the book the other day...I may even have two.

:-) Keep a happy thought.
