One of the positive things to come out of becoming a t1 diabetic at the age of 46 was to really take hold of what dreams and aspirations I had going forward into the future. I always dreamed of doing…Continue

drsoosie replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'What are we afraid of?'"When I was first diagnosed four and half years ago at age 46 as a t1, I had so many fears about possible complications I was paralyzed by them. With time and the good fortune of relatively good health (as far as I know), most of those fears have…"
drsoosie replied to Christopher's discussion 'Exactly a year since my T1 diagnosis'"Congrats to you. I had the same initial experience as you about my diagnosis. It took me about a year to get into the swing of things as far as my knowledge and understanding of the disease as it pertained to my body. Like you, I feel the healthiest…"
drsoosie replied to Joe's discussion 'Frustrated - am I a crybaby?'"Some people are unable to see the greater good...it's called narcissism. I am sorry you have to work with someone who does not value selfless behavior. As you know..we are all built differently. Just be glad you are you and he is he."
drsoosie replied to Joe's discussion 'Frustrated - am I a crybaby?'"It seems like you are at a place in your life (the middle like me) where you are assessing what is and what is not important to you. When I get that feeling that the walls are closing in and that I am projecting way too far into my future (something…"
drsoosie replied to flynn's discussion 'Insulin not bringing my blood sugar DOWN?'"Have you had your thyroid checked? It is very common for T1 diabetics to also have thyroid issues like Grave's Disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. If my thyroid medication is off, I have experienced insulin resistance as well. Anyhow, I…"

drsoosie replied to johnnyjones's discussion 'How to find yourself again...'"Hi Johnny...we chatted one night awhile back and I related to a lot of your feelings. I am into my fourth year as an adult t1 and I do have to say that with time comes acceptance. I do miss some of my freedoms but it is also hard to remember life…"
David (dns) replied to drsoosie's discussion 'MDI and the proper way to bolus' in the group TAGgers UNITED"Bolus and basal insulins are designed to serves two distinct purposes.
Basal insulin is intended to keep BG normal in the fasting state, i.e., when no food is present. Bolus insulin's purpose is to process the BG rise caused by eating. So if…"
Tabacblond replied to drsoosie's discussion 'MDI and the proper way to bolus' in the group TAGgers UNITED"And is it Ok to mix e.g extra bolus 3 hours later with badal injections? I can't figure it out. Basal will kick in in 2 hours or so, right ?, so there is no risk to go hypo?"
drsoosie replied to Zoe's discussion 'Test Happy Doctors'"Okay don't think I'm nuts but I am a huge believer in Chia seeds. They changed my GI life and that's all I will say so I don't go into the the territory of TMI. I make like a cream of wheat porridge with them. Two to three…"

jrtpup said… Our Annual Campaign is coming!
Would you consider helping by writing a short comment/testimonial about your
experiences at TuD? The main message for the campaign this year is that no
one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
(http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/why-i-participate-in-this-community), or
message to me from my page.Thanks my friends!

Pssst.... pass it on!
I just wanted to stop by to see if you've done your Big Blue Test Today. Dont' forget that every time you log a Big Blue Test $5 is donated to diabetes charities that are providing life-saving supplies and services.
If you haven't yet, go log a Big Blue Test at http://www.bigbluetest.org/. If you have, do another!
