    Emotions and BSL

    As soon as I woke up, I grabbed my insulin and ran away to meet some friends. I didn't want to stay at home and it did make a difference. I slept like a baby afterwards although my BGL misbehaved a bit but I had the highest at 10.9.. still better than the 24 I had yesterday!

Today, my old neighbour was found dead in her apartment alone and it has been about 10 days before she was discovered. As tragic as it sounds, this just affected me so deeply and has created havoc on my BSL... I...

    Type 2 Air shot

    I do air shot each time I insert a needle. The philosophy behind it is to make sure that the needle isnt blocked. I do 1 unit not 2 and it works perfectly as it should.

    Diabetes and Ramadan

    Kind madam, this question gets asked so many times around the start of Ramadan every year. Having the appropriate background, I can only ask you to refrain from fasting all together (even some scholar argue that it is forbidden for us, diabetics, to fast during Ramadan for it does more harm...

Imagine to inject in a crowded cafeteria infront of at least 100 other strangers. Well that's what I do. I got the funny looks but afterall they are...
