What a bunch of completely inconsiderate, rude, idiots you're having to deal with. Perhaps keeping track of your bloodsugar with a meter/pinprick test would help you avoid the lows alongside relating your bloodsugar response to the food you eat. You can buy a meter and the test strips...

Interesting. Good to know. I'll keep in mind for a next time I will be careful to avoid. I test before a meal, 2 hours after then usually 2 hours after that. Plus first thing a.m. and before bed. Same times every day. Eat almost the same food and quantity every day. Nothing flagged...

I just realized that the basal pen I've been using has been out of the fridge for 35 days! Anyone else done this? I didn't notice anything out of the usual in terms of my Trurapi needs and I felt fine during the additional week.

Sorry for what you are going through and sorry I have no help to offer. Just wanted you to know there are people like me who sympathize and empathize with your agony. You're not alone. I hope for some relief and some good to come into your life and heart very soon.

There are many things that affect blood sugar including weather, stress, sleep, fighting an oncoming germ, etc etc. I follow the same diet and exercise routine almost every day and check my blood sugar at the same times daily as well. My blood sugars are never consistent. Sometimes it seems...

I too find that no two days' readings are the same even though I made no change to meals, meal times, exercise and activity. I have no team either and must rely on myself. I learned most of what I know about diabetes from the experiences of others posted here. Life is full of ups and downs and...

Thanks for the update. It's great to hear from you and knowing how well you are doing has made my day :):)

Thanks for the update. It's great to have you on this website. Your attitude is the best. You are a living inspiration for us all.

Lots of love and best wishes for you. You're amazing.

Reading about what you and your wife are going through so bravely puts my own problems, so small by comparison, in the right perspective. I am so glad to hear your wife is improving and I am sure as the crisis recedes your blood sugar will return to where it was. Wishing you and your wife the...

I did miss your presence here. Get better soon!

You are an inspiration, an example to all. I love your courage and attitude. My heart and soul is with you.

You're inspiring. I believe in the power of optimism too. There are many gloomy posts on this website (understandably) and reading yours above is a shining light on the way to deal with the struggle.

It all depends on attitude I suppose. Old age doesn't always mean catastrophic loss of brain or body use. Some die peacefully in their sleep, others die rapidly in a moment they weren't expecting. Sure in old age advantages of youth are no longer, but wisdom that may come with maturity makes...

Get better soon!
