I think that can be said of all the continuous glucose monitors — but when will it be released? I think I blogged about it during my first year.
It may not be as accurate as a blood glucose monitor, but the results can provide important information to the patient as to what is happening, when they are not checking, it will be a great motivational tool!

It took all day. First, for some dumb reason, I thought I had to be there at 8:00. Nope, 8:30. That’s okay, because I got a really really good parking space.
It was a case I just couldn’t serve on. My husband thinks they probably already pulled me from the beginning since I’m a teacher.
Aggravated sexual assault of a minor under 14. Two counts, one of oral and one of manual penetration.
As it was, I was at the court house until 4:50. Yeah, much longer day than I’m used to.
I was able to keep my blood sugar until control while there. Poured the insulin on, with a 50% basal rate, just like I do for teacher workshops.
I did have to eat something in the afternoon, but I think that was more psychlogical than physical, but I was getting a headache.
The biggest impression I got? None of the speakers would survive a high school classroom, but the defense lawyer was the worse. He not only couldn’t get to the point, he couldn’t make a point.
The eye doctor I use has a web page at http://www.c-l-c.com/clc_services_opto_map.html describing the exam they do. They link to http://www.optos.com/ which has more detail.
It removes a lot of the drawbacks of traditional exams, especially since it is easy to store and compare images.
According to the FAQs, it takes care of most of the eye exam needed by the diabetic. The Optomap Retinal Exam will tell you if you have diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal holes, tears and detachments, macular degeneration, malignant melanomas and many other retinal disorders.
I am on Jury duty today. I was a bit stress as I was afraid my “friend” the Cingular 8125 woulfd not be allowed and also my Treo since both recordx and have built in cameras. My syringes aren’t allowed but since I use the Accu-chek Multiclick that would be okay. Tossed my bag into the xray machine and walked through the metal detector without a peep.
However I ended up here in the Central Jury room about an hour early.
But some fun news – in the middle of this post I received an email telling me I’d won a $20 gift certificate from Amazon. That’s one of my favorite places to shop!
Very good tips — and having a modern pump like the Animas 1250 would also help. It does alarming and calculates insulin on board for you.
Here are some common and not-so-common tips that just might help you next time you’re trotting the globe.
From my doctor — a typical regimem is Lantus at night and Byetta with meals.
I have run into a few pumpers who are doing Byetta but he prefers Symlin with the pump. He also said my experience was typical — dramatic results, and then slowly back to the previous state.
I’ve turned the commenting off — the server has been hit by the spammers pretty hard. I’m researching how to get it fixed, but it might take several days.
Sorry. If you do have something you want me to see or put on the blog, send to kathleenw at gmail
A commenter wanted to know what pedometer. It’s an Omron — not sure which model but it is much nicer than any other I’ve seen.
Marcie’s ears had been bothering her yesterday — so when I woke up tired and creaky, I decided to sleep in. Good thing, she threw up a chewie my husband had given the youngest dog.
I took my time — even did my workout before I left, and only took Maggie. We got there literally just in time, they had already started walking her course. Plus since it was Novice and a small class, she was 4th dog in. I walked twice, got her, and watched the course from outside.
Never have I watched the cones so hard when I ran, but we ran clean and took a first. And we missed Qing by one point later in standard.
So not near as much walking, only 8211 steps today.
