After all, I’ve barely touched the settings on my pump since I started using it three years ago. What a sense of empowerment to start altering so many Pump Settings — which have frankly intimidated the heck out of me until [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3420704 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:00:43 +0100 3420704 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3359174&cid=t_164770_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2010%2F03%2Fbasal-testing-a-new-kind-of-torture.html Just when I thought I’d experienced every indignity and inconvenience this disease could dish up, along comes basal testing. I’ve had the Big D for almost seven years now, and I’ve always been told never to skip meals (a good thing too, because I need my meals!). At the same time, I know you’re supposed to [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3359174 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:00:01 +0100 3359174 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3135677&cid=t_164770_134_f&fid=35187&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FDiabetesDaily%2F%7E3%2FK4Sa_Q1OjWY%2Fthe-2009-review.php On the last day of 2009, I thought I would share (just like just about everyone else) a little bit about what I was blogging about during the past year. Here goes nothing: January: "Hello everyone! Fancy seeing all of you here." My first blog here at Diabetes Daily was last January. I can't believe it's been a year already! February: "Six years ago tonight, I almost died. Today is my diabetic anniversary." February marks both my birthday and my diabetes anniversary. I can't believe this year I will have been diabetes for seven years! I am definitely one of the newer members of the club, but I am remembering less and less of life before diagnosis. March: “Excuse me?” said the elderly voice behind me. “Is that a microphone you’re wearing?” Probably one my my favorite 'mistaken pump...

For me, the best solution to that problem is to do a little basal testing. Easy in theory - tough in practice. According to Pumping Insulin, and accurate basal test needs to start at least 5 hours after your last bolus and at least 3 hours after your last carb intake. Your starting blood glucose should also be in a good range (they...

Namely, A TON OF LOWS. I went through my meter's history and 16 out of my last 50 readings were under 90. I woke up last night at 2 am with a reading of 37! The night before 40. And the night before that 3 readings in the 60s before my head even hit the pillow. OH and I'm sitting here sipping a half glass of OJ because I'm clocking in at 91 after 2 hours of volleyball and my track record doesn't exactly indicate that I'm going to hold steady!This all means that, while I've not eaten between 8pm and bedtime (most nights), I've been e... orsa aetas blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1154042 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 03:56:00 +0100 1154042
