To pump or not to pump?

Hello world,



My name is Ali. .. I am 21 - and my world got tipped on it's end last September 25th when I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes...



I did really well for the first few months! I had consistent bg levels in the low 100's, etc - and then the Christmas invasion of candied confections hit; wonderful pies, and other such sweetness hit me like a train of temptation bound for diabetes hell.

I injected a lot of insulin - and I gained weight. A lot of the weight… Continue

A1C and Pump Infusion Insulin Differences

Click over to my blog for the full text and graph.

I've posted a couple times before about my A1C levels so far. Graph taken from TuAnalyze on TuDiabetes. On the clinical trial we have our A1C checked on a monthly basis, rather than the standard 3-4 month span. I'd say I'm doing pretty well. This next month will be brutal because...

Insulin Pump Day 2 - HUNGRY!

Click over to my blog for the full text and graph of daily BG.

So today was better. The only spike was an after meal thing. The only thing is that it looks very similar to the peak from yesterday. I'm going to add to my basal rate to hopefully knock that down. I also dropped my I:C ratio to...

"I know it's convenient to be able to use your meter for boluses as well, but doesn't this seem a little dangerous? Also why would you need to be 10 ft away from your pump and still be bolusing? I would worry about..."

I wanted to say thank you to all the readers of TuDiabetes for reading my blog. I know I've posted a thank you before, but I looked at the graph from before I joined and after I joined. See below and you'll get the idea. The place where the curve breaks is the day I joined this… Continue

Cleaning up the blog

The full-text of this post is also on my blog.



My apologies to the people on TuDiabetes for linking to a prior blog post that had language less than fitting for a link-distributed post. I received an email from an admin requesting that I clean up the post because of its language and a resultant violation of terms of use. One of the things that I forget is that the majority of… Continue

Writing posts by specialty

Check out my blog for the full greatness of this post.



With the addition of the FNG to this blog I was thinking about this last night after critically reviewing his first post (your formal critique is being transcribed and will be in the EMR shortly). I noticed how all of us write very differently and how you can almost predict specialties by writing style. It's… Continue

eeeeeeeeeeevil SuFu

Had to blog about this one. I was making lunch for my son and he wanted a fruit cup. So pulled the lid off, got a bunch of the juice on my hand and realized that I hadn't practical joked my wife in way too long. So I grabbed a trial meter a company sent to me, lanced right through the juice and tested. It came back SUPER high, higher than when I was in DKA at diagnosis. I called my wife… Continue

Today

today, n.: A nice place to visit, but you can't stay here for long.



Live for today, plan for tomorrow and the future will take care of itself. I've started to really live with this plan. I used to worry about the future and how everything will work out. I ended up not really enjoying what was going on in my life, including my son, because I was too preoccupied with the future. T1DM has really… Continue

T1DM - Compared to a lot of other people, we've got it easy.

I also posted this on my blog and I'm expecting to catch hell for writing this. Trust me, this is the toned down version from the original.



Everyone with a chronic disease is going to have days where they just want to give in. While it's a bad thing to have, compared to some of the other things we could come down with, in my mind, we're pretty lucky. We see… Continue

Due to the size of the pictures, click over to my blog to see the post. I think they're pretty sweet pictures. I will take some of normal pancreas and high mag of beta-cells in the next few days. Click on the pictures and you can get the enlarged version. If you have requests for any normal tissue type I can usually do that. We have dozens of slide sets of every tissue…
