An open forum to discuss nutrition, routines and how to work with type 1 to fulfill your potential. Exercise routines and how to dose with insulin both with pump and MDI to avoid acute and latent-onset hypoglycaemia. Picture is me after a cut.

Almost Dying in Your Sleep = Scary

Last night sucked.

http://diabeticallymindnumbing.blogspot.com/2012/01/almost-dying-in-your-sleep-scary.html

I'm not exaggerating on this one. I almost died last night. My blood sugar was low enough that I was cold sweating and completely unresponsive to my wife trying to wake me up at 0300. Somehow she was able to kick me hard enough to get me into a stuper and into the…

Profile Information

Either I or a loved one have:: Type 1 or type 1.5 (LADA) diabetes

How do you hope to benefit from TuDiabetes?: nothing

Date diagnosed: May 17, 2010

Most recent HbA1C %, date of result (optional): 5.0, December 2011

Type of treatment/devices you use: Pump, Diet and Exercise

What pump model do you use, if any?: Animas Ping

Enter your website, if any (blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc.): http://twitter.com/diabeticallymn

Tell us more about you (optional): Obsessed is how the lazy describe the dedicated.

It is hard to imagine anything more pointless and soul-crushing than the thought that we are just marking time here on Earth while waiting for our real lives to begin after we die. Whatever meaning life has surely arises in part from the fact that it is finite. You have only so many years in which to cram as much experience, learning, love, friendship or whatever else it is that gives you satisfaction, so you had better make every moment count.

At 3:54pm on June 5, 2011, samsmom said…: We had a good time at the ADA Tour de Cure! Samantha was one of a few Red Riders -- Team Type 1 was there & they're just awesome. Sam wanted to try 40 miles, but she couldn't make it. Too many hills. She & my sister called the car following riders to get picked up around 30 miles. It was kind of funny because the medic checked Sam out (BG around 80, so not bad) and they were radioing the start tent: "We've got a Red Rider down!" So she got checked out by a doctor, but she was ok, just tired. Two cheeseburgers got her back on track. I know umping is in full swing now - Sam gets her cast off Tuesday, so hopefully we'll get her back in action by late June!!

At 5:04pm on May 16, 2011, samsmom said…: I clicked around on that guy's info & it's strange, because he seems a little hesitant in telling people to participate in trials, but he went all out for that one & even lost his wife. So his message is mixed. I'd say our experience has been pretty positive, even with the news that Defend 1 didn't succeed. That was a sad day, but overall, the trial has been good for us - especially getting to see the doctor & nurse so often right after diagnosis.
