Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / October 2003Why Test?
When you start this game you test to find your status. The you setup a program to control your eating. Then you go through a ritual to find what meds you need and work to establish control. The window is your meter and you use as a tool. You find what is required to establish good control. You continue to test as needed. It may be few or many tests. It is not some ritual but a need thing. I do have to test a lot. My friend tests only a couple of times a day since he has reduced insulin and he controls his eating well. I have a very difficult time with no insulin and no low blood sugar safety net. You test as needed which you will be able to determine without some ritual routine. It may vary when things as infections are present. The important thing is you do enough to keep control. The cost and pain of complications is a lot more than a few test strips or a few finger pricks. Quit slopping down the food--find a new hobby.

I like to think that Guy is commenting on large threads. I feel somewhat defensive about Guy. I don't know him and I'm sure he doesn't know me. He reminds me of my father. I know from reading his posts that he's lived the nightmare that awaits any of us if we don't believe in taking charge of our own condition. If you've been recently dxed T1 or T2 you might want to search out his posts and read a real life account. He makes me pay attention. As far as I'm concerned he gets a pass on any minor "netiquette" faux-pas. I happy he's posting again. Listen up!

How about some helpful posts in the managment of diabetes for a change? Annette Why am I wasting bandwidth? I've had my say. That's it. you haven't been paying attention if you think I haven't made any contributions on the 2 DM NG's. >>thanks for the background.

No, you did. So tell me, what did you think of Frank's post re the merits of post-prandial blood tests? Is he "preaching" too?

You killfile everyone who has an opposing opinion....what a shame... Anyway...onto the subject....here's an article I posted before...have a close look at page 36 in the first link. http://www.ukneqas.org.uk/Directory/CC/hba1c.htm > Annette, he is a Type D diabetic.

Anyone can put such total garbage on the Net . tim thanks, sleepy. now I won't have to bother answering your nonsense any longer! >>>You did it again. >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Save the whales. Collect the whole set. > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > >> You did it again. > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Sleepy After I spat a few chips at Dave, I took a bg reading. Pretty low, close to a hypo. I really am more tolerant when my bg is better! Too low or too high, and I *do* get "snippy". Not really bad tempered, but rather easily irritated. (That's MY view of it, not necessarily those of an observer). Ask my husband! LOL. When he starts saying "Yes dear" to anything I say, it's time to test my bg. ;-) Annette Annette, there couldn't be a NG anywhere else on the net (except m.h.d.) where folks will be more understanding of hypo grumpiness. I certainly don't hold a grudge. Just remember, I might get low some time when sitting at the keyboard... :) dave >>On Wed, 1 Oct 2003 21:56:35 +1000, "Annette" > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.522 / Virus Database: 320 - Release Date: 30/09/03 WHAT are you talking about?? >>You did it again. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.522 / Virus Database: 320 - Release Date: 29/09/03 > WHAT are you talking about?? Today, I'm not so sure. When I wrote that stuff, it seemed to me you were sniping at Guy and his posts. Heh, so I did the same, and sniped right back at you. I don't think Guy gives an ants left testicle either way. So I'm happy to forget the whole thing. OK? Annette Peace in our time. > >>You did it again. > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > > Version: 6.0.522 / Virus Database: 320 - Release Date: 29/09/03 sounds good to me.

OK, Jim, I'll bet you my RIGHT testicle that it's a male preference. LOL Annette "I have nothing to say, and I'll only say it once."

I think I have missed some of this thread, but I have seen enough to know that I was where u seem to be about 12 months ago.....and I am talking to bay area dave here. David, I have made some mistakes and enemies on here. I didn't do it deliberately, but I was newly diagnosed, had researched the net about DM and thought I knew it all. Then I started to read the posts properly. There are a lot of people who have a lot to offer you in the way of support and help. Guy has dealt with, and suffered with too I think, this disease for a long time, he has a lot of advice to offer. Of course he isnt the only one. There are lots of others too. I no longer shout any more, I have a long way to go and look at any advice from any quarter. The anger will quell but it always stays with you. You just need to learn to control it. Oh and on another note I made 5% club twice in a row just for info. 5.9 on last 2 Hba1c, maybe only just there but it still says 5. LOL Bri Snail > You did it again. > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > hobby. > > Guy I get along with Guy. You are undoubtably swayed by Annette's mistaken idea that I wasn't sincere when I responded to T2. give it a rest. dave > I think I have missed some of this thread, but I have seen enough to know > that I was where u seem to be about 12 months ago.....and I am talking to [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] >>>hobby. >>> Guy >I think I have missed some of this thread, but I have seen enough to know >that I was where u seem to be about 12 months ago.....and I am talking to [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >Bri Snail Hey Bri, Stick around, there is always a lot more to learn. I think I may have about 1% partially down, but that may be an overestimation. Congrats on the great numbers! Sleepy ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Save the whales.
