"This post is very inspiring. I commend you for the goal and positive attitude. I'm just a youngster at this being a T1 Diabetic, coming up on my 35th D-day/50th B-day in May (yes, I was diagnosed on my 15th birthday, "Surprise!!!"). I…"
PowerPumper replied to Ken Winters's discussion 'Sleep Aides'"I'm not waking up due to a hypo regardless of what I do or don't take, so avoiding sleep meds because of diabetes is rather pointless for me. I have to know my sugars. Perhaps if I ever get a CGMS and want to hear an alarm, I might change…"

T1 since 1976
Minimed 522 Feb-2007
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?
Posted on September 6, 2007 at 8:13am 3 Comments 0 Likes
How can the value of a site like Tudiabetes.com be quantified? Is it's value based on the number of members or page hits? How about daily posts or advertising revenue? Cool features, maybe? No, I think the best way to quantify the value of Tudiabetes.com is through a personal story, one that probably reflects the experience of many people.

Good Doctor or Bad Doctor?
Posted on August 13, 2007 at 9:26am 5 Comments 0 Likes
What is the difference between a good Doctor and a bad Doctor? What should someone expect from their Doctor? What do I personally need to do to assure I get the best medical care possible?
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… Continue

First Pump A1C
Posted on August 5, 2007 at 4:24pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
I started my Minimed 522 pump on February 12, 2007. After 30 years, 8 months, and 12 days of daily injections (ignoring those 2 days I went without insulin during my honeymoon period) I was finally stepping up my glucose management a notch (at least I hoped so). Though I work in technology, I've always been slow at adopting new technologies for my personal life (got my first CD in the 90's and my first cell phone in 2004). But I knew I was ready for the pump.

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!
Tom

- 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?
