Will add that to my list.Another good book is Sugar Surfing by Stephen Ponder. He's an endocrinologist who also happens to be T1, so he's seen both sides of it.
Great idea. Will definitely keep that in mind. I expect to have interviews with professors more than HR people from companies. I plan stay in academia and do academic research. I currently focus on Space technology and published a couple of papers as of now. I was in the final stages of a project and another research paper when DKA hit. Stalled everything for a while. Anyway, Great advice. Thank you!You're a student just now, but when you start going to job interviews, try to throw in some references to that in relation to problem solving - it shows a huge amount of initiative, which is what most employers are looking for.
I did realize that already. One day I have really good BG levels, and another day with the same regime... Everything goes haywire for no apparent reason. It is quite annoying but I guess I should get used to it.You're an engineer, so you want to measure things. That's quite correct, and you're obviously taking time to read up on the condition, but remember that, while you can measure and balance insulin/food/exercise, there's a lot of things going on in the background which can upset that balance and simply can't be measured or controlled with existing technology. That sounds a bit negative, but all I mean to say is that when you think you've done the sums right but it still goes wrong, it's not really your fault - there's too many random factors, so, as long as we're right most of the time, that's good enough.
