Minilink CGMS Jun-2007
I'm a 46 yr-old married father of 5 (2 adopted) who spends most of every waking day in front of my computers (5 of them right now). It's my work, my news source, my entertainment, my research tool, and in many ways my social network. I do also love the outdoors (especially when it's sunny and not too hot) and am now into distance running (or as some might call it, distance plodding) and loving it.
I'm fortunate in that I don't have any Diabetic complications, even after 31 years. My Ophthalmologist is repeatedly amazed that there are no signs of retina damage. And my last blood lab work (after going on the pump) showed every measurement falling in the normal range, so I'm ecstatic about that.
Here's my most recent running challenge:

How Valuable is Tudiabetes.com?
I lived in a small rural town when I was diagnosed T1 in 1976. I don't think the family GP had ever even seen a T1, but fortunately he recognized the… Continue

Good Doctor or Bad Doctor?
Recently, I was thinking back to a Doctor I had about 20 years ago. The Endo I had previously seen as a youth was in a different city and difficult to see, so I started going to an Internist who happened to be a personal friend. This Doctor was one of the kindest men I knew and his bedside manner (e.g… Continue

Those suggestions make sense. The delayed effect is very real for sure. The longest activity I've done since starting the pump a year ago has been one 3 hour hilly road bike ride. During that, I dropped the basal 30% an hour into it, and left it that way for 2 hours afterward. That seemed to work out ok. Times when I've not dropped the basal, I've seen lows about 6 hours after getting off the bike.

- Hi Ken-
Thinking about taking a multi-day backpack trip this summer in the Colorado Rockies. Have not attempted such a thing since becoming Type-1 at age 37 ( or so ). Wonder if you have any suggestions on pump adjusting, basal tweaks, or what-not that would apply to multi-day, loaded hiking.
Cheers!

- My husband really wants to teach in China for a couple of years. Like you, I am very hesitant about the possibility of landing in a Chinese hospital! I have been there 3 times now, but a short visit is not the same.

- Do you know Chris Little? She lives in Pt. Townsend and has 10 or 11 adopted kids. I think at least 2 are from Ethiopia. She helped us file our readoption papers. Did you travel to Ethiopia?

- Hey Ken, I thought I would say hello since you're basically just across the water from me. I also notice that we are both adoptive parents. I have 4 kids, with the last two being 3 year olds from China.

Thanks for inquiring! I must have been too busy reading about what kind of tapes diabetics on the Yahoo forum think they should be using today or tomorrow. I am doing swimmingly with my DxSeven -- getting an average of 13-15 days out of each sensor, I did find I should reset my low alert to 70 -- I had it at 60 and probably because it is not all that precise, when I was at 60 one morning I stumbled into a fairly serious hypoglycemic episode, broke two ribs (ouch!) and wound up in the hospital for a few days. But time is a wonderful medicine, and I am back home enjoying life to the fullest.'How are you doing these days?
