Hi again! Appreciate ur time Jack412, maybe to u all this is very basic but my endo doesn't have much experience on type 1s and there isnt a place here to talk other people with this same condition... (other than facebook, hehe) The courses I read them in english no problem with that. British...

Me too! its like 6 times a week... and my family has to put white bread with table sugar in my mouth. In my case it is all due to the bolus

Excellent info! Loved the sick days chart and the bolus course.... yesterday again had a hypo but so far everything is allright :) The difficult side is the insulin/exercise ratio hehe

Thanks to u all, ur comments are priceless!! Would loove to reply to each one of u, cuz everyone has made an important point: Charles Robin Hahaaha changes in mood? Im labeled as 'irritated girl' at home so I presume this wont be an issue. Already with headaches and some cramps but today had a...

OMG this is what I've been expecting to happen since was 7 ys. old! But to my humble opinion, the price will be a little of an issue if is similar to a CGM (and I cant consider getting a pump). Ple@se (to the manufacturers) have in mind a few months after the release, making a version...

Been diabetic for 23 years but just starting taking care of myself since february. As a result, right now have mild retinopathy and a quite annoying right frozen shoulder! Nevertheless just recently actually understood the concept shown by american physician Dr. R. Bernstein. Just allow me to...

Hello everyone! Congratulations to u all for sharing ur opinions I began attempting control because of you all :) Plese forgive me for posting here but can't find a thread for low-carb newcomers... Have just began last week (I live in Bolivia & learned english from a Cambridge college...

Indeed anything above 7.8 and u will need to change ur insulin dosages... Can increase the basal 2 units per day and remember the fast acting 20 minutes before eating. In fact if u are with an infection it would be better to reduce the amount of food, especially carbs :s Hope u get better soon!!

They basically have said them all... Put ur fast acting 20 mins before meals; try to replace common carbs with grains (oats) and if u do so drink a lot of water; write down all ur measurements with the insulin doses and the food eaten; if u go out for several hours make sure to take those...

I could tell u that the OneTouch is greatly accurate. Thats the reason I bought it, cause it showed the same results as the labs. The strips price though is a little higher :( but it is quite comfortable and has never given me any issue in the last 6 years. Best of luck!

Just remember that what brings u back from hypo land is the amount of glucose aka sugar or carbs that u eat... Based on years of experience chocolate, despite does have some sugar, is not the amount required to act fast enough. Chocolate also contains grease, and fats absorb much slower...

Oh my God u almost make me drop a tear... First time I see anyone who understands how much drained u feel after a hypo. My family doesnt get it; they are just so annoyed at me (they usually give me white bread with jam until I recover my senses) but to read this is so relaxing, to know that...

Just wanted to share mine because dont quite understand how it works... Is it possible to be putting too much insulin?! Mine (on the last week of march) was at 6.6% which to me doesnt make any sense since before that time I ate all kind of sweets... cookies, loads of white bread :( Im trying to...

Hi! I understand you on how all the info available may play a bad trick on ur mind, but not all is so bad :) My daughter is 6 years old and she was born healthy thank God. You just need to become best friends with ur glucometer and have always at hand ur fast acting. A suggestion that worked...

I'll reply based on my experience. Since dont have any kind of insurance and all my diabetes equipment must be paid in cash, for the last 15 years I've been reusing my needles (of course initially discartable syringes afterward pen needles). As long as it is a high quality one (I know Novo) you...

Thanks a lot! Think should have mention though that I live in south america :( The question was more on the practical sense rather than the economical one ;)

I've a lot of years with a poorly or not taken cared type 1 diabetes. A month ago began to take care (beginning to eat the proper kind of food, adjusting my insulin dosage with my new doctor and monitoring my blood glucose levels). Nevertheless all of this took a lot of money and I dont have any...

Hi! I've been a type 1 for23 years. Youll see doctors not always are properly informed about this condition they are basically to keep you updated about ur analysis and follow ups. You need to learn to listen to ur body it tells u when ur BS is high or low. But regretfully unless u can calculate...

Hello there... Replying ur Q, lets see I was 7 yo when I got it and now Im 30, so its been 23 years with it though just a month ago Im taking care... My advice wouldbe to change ur food choices as often as possible, good luck!

Your life is worth the sacrifice... Otherwise in less than 10 years your children will have to be taking care of you and I dont think u would like that for them wouldnt u? Try to go to the endocrynologist it will be worth :) My best whishes from someone who totally understands; take care, one...
