You can bring all of your stuff on the plane in your carry-on. Chances are, TSA won't even ask you if they can look in the bag. I've flown many times with multiple bottles of insulin, syringes, pump infusion sets, CGM sensors, and testing supplies...

Test Results

Well I was really nervous about today's results. My first creatinine clearance test about 5 years ago is what got me started on the ACE inhibitors to begin with. So I was elated when I was told that my test last week showed values even below the standard...so it's better than good! Microalbumin, which had showed up in my last urinalysis due to some blood pressure issues has been reduced to almost nil and I'm hoping to see that go back to 0 after a little while longer on the new meds I started in… Continue

A Practical Symlin Guide for Type 1 Diabetics - Part 3: Advanced Techniques, Train Wrecks & Disasters, and High Protein/Lo-Carb Diets

So this will be my final post in the three-part series on how to use Symlin as a Type 1 Diabetic. I really want to thank the people that have commented, offered up their own experiences, and contributed constructive criticism. I may do other posts about Symlin but they probably won't be in a guide format, at least not until 2010 when Amylin is due to release their second-generation Symlin product.

This post has been a long time coming because I have been experimenting with different ways to use… Continue

A Practical Symlin Guide for Type 1 Diabetics - Part 2: Acclimation, Meal Boluses, and Hypoglycemia

If you missed Part 1, you can find it here.

So in this segment of my Symlin guide, I want to get into the realities of day-to-day life with Symlin and what you will go through in working up to your prescribed dose. I do hope that nothing I write discourages you from using Symlin, but I want to be honest about what I believe to be its challenging aspects while I extol its virtues. The truth of the matter is that Syml… Continue

A Practical Symlin Guide for Type 1 Diabetics - Part 1: Introduction

This will be the first of several blog posts that I have been working on for the past month, all written with the Symlin novice in mind and with the intent of encouraging as many of you as possible to start on Symlin therapy. I do not work for Amylin (makers of Symlin), or even in the pharmaceutical or health care fields. I do not own Amylin stock. I decided to write this guide because Symlin is so extraordinarily effective at mitigating some specific issues many Type 1s consistently encounter a… Continue

Prayer: Helpful or harmful to those with diabetes?

I've often wondered how prayer validates itself as a worthwhile activity to those who rely on it for healing and protection, with regards to diabetes and honestly, all other ailments. My main problem with the idea of prayer being efficacious stems from this absolute but undeniable fact:

God has never healed a Type 1 diabetic of Type 1 diabetes.

Furthermore, no Type 1 diabetic has ever experienced a spontaneous remission of the disease. Indeed, no Type 1 diabetic has ever been cured by any mean… Continue
