Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2008Books about ICT (basal-bolus-insulin)?
Hello I'm a diabetic (ICT, basal-bolus-insulin). Do you know diabetes-books, especially for diabetics using insulin (ICT)? Do you know the following book? "Using Insulin, Everything You Need for Success With Insulin by John Walsh etc." Can you tell me about it? I want to learn more about ICT, insulin, everyday practices, problems and their solutions. Thank you. > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Thank you.

Maybe I should have wrote "didn't want to need to join". Welcome anyway. You might want to check out the other worthwhile diabetic newsgroups, which are less active than this one: alt.food.diabetic alt.support.diabetes.uk misc.health.diabetes > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> >>Welcome to a group you probably didn't want to join. > Hi > > I'm not a new diabetic... only have found this newsgroup today. > I don't understand, why you wrote "didn't want to join" ... :( If you didn't have diabetes you probably wouldn't have "joined". Just sad that we ARE here because we have diabetes. I am sure we would all rather not have it :) >Hello > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Thank you. what is ICT? The John Walsh books are very popular amongst Insulin users, he's written a very good book on pumping insulin. In a follow up you say you are not a newly diagnosed diabetic. Are you new to insulin? How long have you been using insulin?

In the night at 22 o'clock I inject basal insulin .. NPH insulin .. Protaphan. At every meal I inject a bolus insulin .. Humalog. I don't use a pump. I've used insulin for many years ... I think I can still learn :) >>Hello >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >In a follow up you say you are not a newly diagnosed diabetic. Are >you new to insulin?

How long have you been using insulin? ICT is "Information and Communication Technologies". The only ICT/insulin reference I found in my quick google search yielded "Insulin Coma Therapy". Isn't that what some docs have used to get heroin addicts clean? I suspect someone has told pAnda it's something like "Insulin Combination Therapy". If so, that's a new one to me. If you're having trouble finding information, pAnda, try looking up MDI (Multiple Daily Injections) or DAFNE (Dose Adjusted For Normal Eating). Those are the common terms for a basal/bolus regimen, depending on where you are. Vicki There is quite a lot of discussion on insulin here: http://community.diabetes.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=adatype1 kuze T1/1994 humalogx3/lantusx1 >Hello > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Thank you.

Walsh should be read by every insulin junkie, IMO. He knows his stuff. If you want more info, get Walsh's "Pumping Insulin". It's the pumper's bible. For even more info, the insulin pumper's website has a How To section that covers non-pumpers stuff like ratios, basal testing, etc. http://www.insulin-pumpers.org Vicki T1, pumper > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Thank you. Using Insulin by John Walsh is a MUST READ for anyone on insulin what is ICT? kate |
