Asma replied to CozyD's discussion 'methods of wearing a pump with a dress/skirt'

"The dress code for our university -and a while back, school- mandates skirts. I personally hate skirts, and try to avoid them whenever I can not because of my pump but because of the whole hiking up situation. If Im going to school though, I clip…"

"Look at the black doted line, it looks like you have some issues in the evening and also when you sleep. I would never go to sleep without fixing my high BG first. It takes a true average of about 115mg/dL for me to keep my A1c under 6.0. You need…"

"I don't really look at it as a hassle. I look at logging as a hassle so I don't have any sort of ledger of what I've eaten or not eaten to compare it to, just the regular reports?"

Asma replied to Asma's discussion 'What's an "Acceptable" 1-hour-post-meal peak for you? How do you handle them?'

"That makes sense, A correction-on its own- would take quite a while to be consumed( About 4hrs). Its not reasonable to expect the BG to go down after an hour. When you throw in the carb factor its almost impossible! Which leaves us with pre-bolusing…"

Tim replied to Asma's discussion 'What's an "Acceptable" 1-hour-post-meal peak for you? How do you handle them?'

"You have a minimed too, right? Do you find it too much of a hassle to do so? Do you have any graph or data showing that? I'd love to see one in action. My endo once told me that I could do a temp basal if I'm high and about to have a meal.…"

Asma replied to Asma's discussion 'What's an "Acceptable" 1-hour-post-meal peak for you? How do you handle them?'

Asma replied to Asma's discussion 'What's an "Acceptable" 1-hour-post-meal peak for you? How do you handle them?'

"That was an irregular reading. Usually my Pre-meals are lower than that. I see what you mean by having a different-lower- peak have I started with a reading more normal. But I did take a correction for it."

You will learn over time how things affect you. We are all differnet and we respond to foods and mediacations different.

To be honest I am almost 58 yo. I am set in my ways. My wife makes good healthy meals and I adjust insulin as needed. For the last year I have been pretty much in automatic and have not had to adjust much. But that is me.

Just remember...YOU CAN DO IT!!!

School is going good, just keeping me busy. I am in nursing school so we have class and clinical rotations at the hospital. Im loving it! How about you are you in school?
Hope that you have a great day! :)
