I never do the dial up one or 2 units and push out....So far this has not been an issue yet...so the question is...should I?

Thanks for the update, I was planning to attend the event as well but my diabetic nurse said that it was mainly for people of the medical profession. Hence I did not go :(. Def am planning to attend the next one, any tips on how to become a volunt...
Great topic, as this has been my main concern for the week. Next week I am going to get my flu vac, and was in 2 minds on the H1N1. I have had the flu vac now for 3 years and only have had a bad flu last June, with BGL lvls close to 400 those days...
Such a great idea the 3 week review...these past 2 weeks my bgl seem a it out of control (I am travelling) - it is a bit to high for my taste. So will try your 3 week review...see if it fits me :)
You know that you are a diabetic if you ever go to Austria and are confronted all the time with the cafe culture and the deserts in your eye sight and you wonder shoulda, woulda, coulda......
Bottomline never go to Vienna it is a disaster waitin...
1) Though I set my alarm, I never ever do my morning basal on time...something always squeezes in between
2) Eating out a lot...and hence guestimating carbs in food and getting it totally wrong!
3) Not keeping up with my notebook on a daily basis ...
Congratulations on better health control. How fabulous you must feel being the one in control. I found TuDiabetes while sitting having a coffee in a local bakery. Manny (the founder of TuDiabetes) saw me testing my blood sugar. He asked "Are you T...

- Yeah - I hear you on having wacky BG's when travelling. Do your best to keep them from getting to wild - but main thing - ENJOY YOURSELF. I have one friend that jumps out of her pants when I say that it won't kill you to have a few high BG's from time to time! She thinks diabetic in her mind all the time - which is fine for her - but not for me. In my mind I think "well, if it means I live 1 less month because I had some days of uncontrollable BG's - so be it". As a few have said to you - you might have to tweak your basal rate - I know I had to when I went on holidays (I had to lower my a.m./p.m. as I was having hypos - due to being relaxed / more active). Happy travels!

- Nilufer - LOL - I read your comment about how bad it is to be in Vienna with all the pastry shops in "You Know You're a Diabetic When". Just put on your devil horns like I do when I'm there. Make sure your BG's are okay to start with, and even if they aren't - heck you only leave once. Do as best a guess at how much to inject for (I am usually abit under - but correct later) - and ENJOY! Beware tho' - wear jeans with spandex - you may become abit plump!!! Oh, and even better, just walk around the ring road, get lost, you'll burn off all the sugar (been there, done that).

clarence haynes said… - Welcome and greeting from TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA, where INSULIN was discovered by BANTING & BEST, JULY 30 1921. Check out www.restorethebantinghomestead.com. As a 91 year,young computer rookie, who is insulin-dependent since1977 and a ROLE MODEL to over 40.000 diabetics, have found a way to share my wisdom and experiences with new members from areas with high % of diabetes. I ask them "WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR AREA TO IMPROVE YOUR DIABETES PREVENTION AND AWARENESS PROGRAM? also "WHAT DO YOU KNOW? would it be possible to send info to the nurse and thank her for steering patients to where they can meet the right peolpe and share experiences.As a banker, have you ever thought of forming a support group of diabetics? AMIGOKIT is my way of networking, I call 5 DIABETICS,EVERYDAY, and ask them to call 5 DIABETICS. Keep In Touch. clarence.haynes@sympatico.ca
