hey there...sorry it took me a minute to get back here. Reading that paper now. Looks quite interesting...

np, i get it, for us small details can matter a great deal. I learned to enjoy stevia. I use am extract made of the whole plant in alcohol not glycerine (evil for my BG). I experimented amd learned to count drops. Depending on the food it's being added to. Strong flavors like coffee...

ahhhh, got it! I'll update that there thanks so very much.

absolutely....it is frustrating when some paint with a broad brush. We are individual who exist is a space of reactions to medications. It doesn't matter where you enter the space because we all end up in the same place but via different paths all depending in an infinite variety of individual...

Hi Scott...sound interesting I'll give it a look and see if it makes sense to me.

im so very OCD about my levels i had to buy an inexpensive 2nd monitor with $9/50 strip prices. It was not unusual for me to test 20-30x daily. got pretty good control over time but... yikes! i tried 6-10 and actually would get lazy about what I ate.

oh, something to consider is where you will place the sensor relative to your typical sleeping position. I learned that the traditional way...didn't even give it the merest consideration until i tried to sleep or just lay down to rest...meaning i screwed it up the first couple tries since with...

I'm brand new, about 30-days, to a CGM. I'm using the Dexcom G5. I'm doing so much better managing than w/o it. i have my a1c numbers consistently down in the low 6% range. that's from over 9% a couple months back. I just t2 but insulin dependent for now. The thing which made the CGM the...

super....i'll chat with folks here and work up a, hopefully, meaningful list of answers. Bad news is i had a cortisone injection in the left shoulder. Have to watch BG levels until any response due to cortisone has subsided.

hmmmm, does this site have a polling feature? I'm curious what folks are and aren't sensitive to the caffeine effect. Maybe there are other commonalities that surface which can help us each get better control. Could also explain times when we think we're being good yet BG spikes. Also if...

that fits with my experience. I will spike after the coffee and insulin has zero effect, oh i use rapid acting Novolog. I have Dr appt at 9am (5.5hrs from now) so not going to have coffee until im actually at Dr office. It happens really fast for me so my Dr can observe with me. We've...

cool... i'll do the same.

Quick question...do you drink regular coffee with your breakfast? I as as i only today discovered my dear tasty coffee, my zero carb treat, well caffeine, a cup of strong regular black coffee spikes my BG to over 200. Even with no other carbs eaten in hours and hours. If you do drink it...

Yes! I too am one who's IT-eeth were cut in the latter 70s. Witnessed the evolution, freedom to learn and explore finally witnessing a once powerful source of innovation and education devolve into pure corporate controlled boredom. I know there are still areas of interest but beyond AI (I...

soin as i have time... I've done that several tines as well as in the intro thread for the forums... not sure it's necessary to the idea here, well, yes i see how it can offer sine commonalities. Gimme an hour or so.

first... RIGHT ON... next i getvya about the good ol' morphine slowed up Trumping. Love how this is being treated lighthearted, it's a real question but this **** should be fun too.

I know this is a necro posting but here in the US meds like Victoza or others needing refrigeration are sent in styrofoam boxes with frozen cooler packs. Insulin is another example. So no reason not to confirm with a pharmacy, still i wouldn't worry about it much, many meds has similar...

i never experienced heartburn. Definitely speak with the Doc and I'd contact Novo (makers of Victoza) they were helpful when i had questions early on. I found the Novo support people had a much deeper understanding of drug-drug interactions, side effects, etc... plus they were really supportive...

hahaha... that's how i figured it out too. I recall read a real study that was about how gastric motility influences BG levels.
