Krystal Parker am i too old? i think not

So I have been thinking about my future alot lately. I am so grateful for my job, I've seriously started thinking I need to start living up to my potential for the first time ever. I think it is a combination of things. Possibly getting older or being treated as if I know nothing when in reality I know tons more than I am given credit for partially because I look like a young, ditzy blond. I've dreamed of nothing since a child except being a doctor and mother. I graduted high school and entered… Continue

Uta Sievers Dr Bernstein and me against the medical establishment of Italy

Sleepless in Rome... I'm up at 1.30am with an experience that keeps rolling around in my head, so I thought I'd put it to rest (hopefully) with a probably lengthy blog entry.

I started a 60g carb/133g protein/118g fat per day diet three weeks ago (now modified to 40g carb, 64g protein, 158g fat), following some of Dr Bernstein's advice and more of Jenny Ruhl's (www.bloodsugar101.com and the low carb web… Continue

Jennie Ah, the joys!

I promise, it IS fun to poke yourself with a 1 inch long 23G needle LOL I've just taken my now monthly B12 shot. Only took about 1 minute or so. Doesn't hurt at all unless hitting a bad spot or injecting that 1ml of Behepan too fast :-P

Went to work for a while today to hand in another document from my GP and just socialize some with my workmates who are also good friends of mine. It was so nice to just be away from home for a while and meet friends. On my way home I stopped by in a big… Continue

I'm so happy today because I managed to go down from 8.1% to 7.2% on my HbA1C since I got my pump!!!!! So I must be doing something right! After so many years trying to lower my HbA1C with the injections, after only 4 months on the pump I get these results!!!!!!!!! I'm more than pleased! I know I still have some way to go to my perfect 6 to 7%, but at least I'm on the right track now with this amazing little thing :o) Continue

Bethany "Thank You for Calling CVS Caremark, We appreciate your business"

Blogged: http://bit.ly/94Iy9U

Dear CVS Caremark,

I don't buy that line you feed me every time I call you.

You have put me through 5 months of hell and I just found out it isn't over yet.

You see, I am a very patient person, willing to let people screw up and even screw me over because it's in my nature to instantly think "well, maybe they are new and didn't know what they were doing" "maybe they were having a bad day," and I… Continue

Charles Boesel Glucometer Discrepancies

I was very excited to get the new Bayer Contour USB Glucometer. It was replacing my Abbott FreeStyle Lite meter. So When I started using it, I ran the Control Solution and it checked out OK. I then measured my BG on the new Contour and my old FreeStyle and was surprised to see the readings were different by around 60 points! So I have been doing this for two days and the two meters still vary widely. Now I'm confused as I don't know which reading to trust. Anybody have a solution to this? Thanks… Continue

Dee Meloche Good News!

I was going to pay for extra insurance on top of recieving the benefits of my husband's health insurance.My past experience with these companies is that they put an allowance on how many test strips you can get within a three month period. Since going on the pump I test quite often.At least 12x a day.Before and after meals,occasionally during the night,as I have hypoglycemia unawareness.Before and after exercise,and if I feel high or low.Not to mention basal testing.Anyhow,I thought I would chec… Continue

Astrid Lang What is it all about?

What is all the stuggle in our lives with diabetes about?
Is it about eating the right, avoiding anything that's not healthy?

Is it enough what I'm doing? Is the A1c I get low enough to prevent me from complications? And is avoiding them the most important thing to aim? I wanna live by the courage, that if I'd get them, I'd still embrace life and love myself instead of blaming me, and instead of living in fear. I wanna take care of my life, but I wanna live a life worth living.… Continue

Todd Carey Follow up on depression....medications

I have to admit it felt good to get some of that out there, something changes when it's not just in my head even if nothing actually changes. I think my 4th grade English teacher just rolled over in her grave after that last sentence :)

So Peter G. commented on my last blog about medication and professional help and it got me thinking. I think I have had depression for most of my life. My father died of cancer on Christmas eve when I was just 6 years old. As far back as I can remember t… Continue
