Dia Care — Abstracts: Nichols et al. 27 (8): 1879

This article shows that some doctor 10-15 years ago should have handed me a blood sugar monitor and had me do something about all this. Doubt I was ready to deal with it yet.

As I told my husband tonight … at least I have something that I can change and see immediate effects. Nothing quite like getting on the treadmill with a blood sugar of way, 190, and getting off 30 minutes later and seeing it at 120.

3 pounds less than last month’s CDE visit. 20 pounds over all.

A1c is 6.2

We are adding medication for chlorestral because bew study. they have been watching that tudy and agree with the findings.

Study Shows Insulin Detemir Results in Less Blood Glucose Variability Compared to NPH Insulin and Insulin Glargine
This article described the biggest problem with the long acting insulins and why I hate them, and prefer the pump.
Nothing like having to eat because your insulin is screwed up.

Photos

I’ve updated my photo album, adding the Spring 2004 – Best Friends

This is the most interesting photograph. Maggie doesn’t like the camera and decided that she didn’t want her picture taken, so the photographer and I decided we’d see if we could get them to interact and maybe she would forget the camera.

I was baiting Maggie over the teeter, and I forgot that Marcie would of course, follow.

I should have grabbed the board, but didn’t think to do that, I don’t even know if I realized they were both on the board until it tipped anyway. Baiting them all the way down to the bottom assured their safety — the teeter automatically tips back into the original position.

FYI, having both dogs didn’t really work, whenever the photogather thought harder than I was thinking about food, Maggie was off.

Obviously Marcie LOVES the camera.

one of the reasons to stay with movable type is I bought software for the treo to blog with.

I finally have a decent picture of Maggie.

Someday soon I値l convert that to WordPress.

A User Perspective on Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) Therapy

For this patient, clinical benefits of CSII are complemented by quality-of-life benefits. CSII allows her to eat, exercise, work, and socialise similarly to non-diabetic peers, mitigating psychosocial impacts of insulin dependence. Tailoring insulin dosage more precisely to meet insulin requirement has allowed her to pursue educational and personal goals while maintaining a healthy weight and an optimal HbA1C,
without severe hypoglycaemia or diabetic ketoacidosis.

My insulin usage is down again. It had gone up — I’d had a couple of sleepless nights, which made for sleepy days which always makes me eat too much and the wrong foods. Why are we convinced that sugar will make us stay awake?

Anyway, the average usage is down to 58, so I’ve pulled all my correction factors down accordingly.

Which will make things fun as that will bring my total insulin usage down a bit more. Which makes it easier to lose weight.

Decided I should test this since I hadn’t. And comments are still fubarred.

Well, I built a test blog and copied all the templates over to this blog. Checking now to see if it works.

I do like the new style sheet.
