I'm glad to hear about the 7 but not the ICU?
If you are nurseless, perhaps you can hang out in the forum for questions and support? It may not be "medical advice" but, as you seem to be perceiving, it works best when "I keep on top of it" and you are sort of ultimately responsible for the outcome? I like the forums as there's a bit more traffic and, if someone says "jelly donuts are the cure for DKA" someone else will likely pick up that glove and slap them with it?

Thank you both so much for your support! Sea gator I am in Clearwater, I see that you are in st Augustine , I love it over there. Acid rock you are so right about visiting the forums. I haven't been able to since I've been in Florida until now because my laptop was broken. I just bought an iPad so now I'm back to cruising the Internet. I KNOW what to do but I am still sort of a newbie to the pump and my nurse in Boston was such a great support and I miss her.
I just started working out with a trainer yeaterdAy and already have had to reduce my basal rate!
Soooo... It's not that I need the medical advice really it's that I need to stay on top of diabetes living with the support of other good diabetics! I will be back visiting the forums and blogging... Thanks acid rock and sea gator!

Great job on getting your A1c to 7.0, now you just need to duplicate that sort of success.
FWIW, I am a bit closer to you - Mount Dora, which is a little North and West of Orlando.
What seems to be your biggest problem that led to DKA and ICU?
Cheers,
Mike

What's fwiw mean? Yes I will duplicate it. I also have severe gastroparesis and I had a flare up. It messes up my sugars... So a combo of not the best control and the gp sent me into dka!
