sisiay replied to DavidSQ's discussion 'Perennial Problem - Finding a Doctor' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"I think one of the best ways to get buy-in is to show the numbers. Most doctors/CDEs biggest complaint about patients seems to be "non-compliance" (a term with its own problems) so if you can show labs with a good improvement in…"
sisiay replied to DanK's discussion 'Trying surfing, any advice?' in the group Athletic Diabetics"that would definitely work. I guess I find the more hooked on surfing you get, the more trying to base things on time, rather than waves, becomes challenging/frustrating/unlikely. I will usually have around a 50% bolus with my food, but if I'm…"
sisiay replied to DanK's discussion 'Trying surfing, any advice?' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I honestly eat right before I get in, assuming I'm pretty stable leading up to that. May not be the best way, but hasn't let me down, and I went through a period where I was surfing 5-7 days/wk using this method."
sisiay replied to DanK's discussion 'Trying surfing, any advice?' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I don't adjust my lantus. I don't really have a scientific apprach to carbs, because depending on the size/frequency of waves etc, surfing can be aerobic or anaerobic. Sometimes it's a steady workout and sometimes you're just…"

I’m a type 1, and I started a company called GlucoLift that makes an all-natural, better tasting glucose tablet because I hated using the ones that were available when I was diagnosed. It’s not much of a company - just my wife and…"

Is A1c Becoming Irrelevant?
Posted on September 20, 2010 at 1:00pm 18 Comments 0 Likes
from my blog Don't Fear Diabetes
If there’s one number, one test that strikes fear and loathing into the hearts of diabetics everywhere, it’s the A1c. Not only is it the main number used to diagnose diabetes, it is the measuring stick wielded
by doctors, CDEs, insurers, and diabetics themselves for evaluating our“control”. But are its days numbered?…

from my blog Don't Fear Diabetes
So I was thinking about going back to FINALLY trying to talk about my trip, and reminisce about stuffing my face with Spanish ham but some of the responses I got to my post on my recent hospitalization,
particularly over at TuDiabetes

I'm actually going to be working at the Students with Diabetes table, so I cannot help you out this weekend. However, I'm looking forward to the event and I hope we get a chance to meet!
Your product sounds excellent.
Thanks for offering!

Connie OConnor said… - Chris - Lorraine says you surf with your dexcom. I am a surfer and have been trying to figure out how long I really can be out in the water, how do I protect the transmitter (to you cover yours with something other than a wetsuit?), and how long have you stayed out? Can I go out for half an hour and then come in and dry it and then go out again? Please share if you feel like it. Dexcom people can only say what they have FDA tested.....and I swim in swimming pools as I am a triathlete.....and I do not want to lose the transmitter......any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
