Written by sistersandy
Hi,
Yesterday, at the diabetes clinic (at my GPs surgery), I learnt a lot more. Particularly the dietician told me of a British diabetic who had to be checked in a US hospital for something like [i:500c0cef4c]deep vein thrombosis[/i:500c0cef4c]. He had, obviously, to tell the attending doctor that he was diabetic.
He was immediately asked what his “carbs” were (I don’t even know what carbs a

Do you use them?
To give a well earned rest to my fingers from time to time I test near the thumb as shown in my Freestyle booklet. Even though it's not painful at all, it leaves bruises and puncture wounds even at the lower setting. I change the lancet more often to avoid that but it does show anyway. I do it only for one or two days and let the wounds heal before using those places agai

My control improved... at last. I've been working very hard for the past 2 months. On my meter, the average dropped from over 9 mmol to 6.3mmol. I'll have my A1c later this week. But the best news is that I can drop completely the acarbose ( from 3 a day to 0 ) and cut down 1mg of Repaglinide ( from 4mg to 3mg) at each meal. Of course that also means that I have to stay at 15 to 20 grams o

2 hours after supper, I took my bg on my left hand. As I ate pretty normally so was surprised to have a bg of 11mmol. To be sure, I took it on the right hand and got 8mmol. A difference of 3mmol is far too big.
Next meal I did the same, took my bg on both hands, still a difference of 3mmol. Now, I tested with another meter which read the same. Now, which hand is the good one? I'll chat w

FDA approves Medtronic insulin pump

Written by Anita
Did anyone heard of this medtronic insulin pump?
I read that the FDA approved this. I think it's suppose to be much more accurate than the regular pump.

As a T2, I am a regular reader of your column, even here down under - I lecture on scriptwriting at a local Uni and my diabetes is known among the students.
This appeared in my email...it is not one of my students [the email is anonymous not using the uni-system] but the figures appeared so frightening to me - I wanted to say more than go and speak to your doctor ....
