I found out about a year and a half ago that I was diabetic.  Since then
the A1C tests that were done at the lab and at home were in the 5 %
range.  With diet alone I have been getting fasting readings in 90 to
105 range (usually around 95).  The highest after meal readings are in

About a month ago I switched from mealtime Humalog to Novolog (at the
insistence of my Rite-Aid pharmacy). Things were ok with no change
from my Humalog doses to my Novolog doses for about 3 weeks.
For the past week I have been out of whack. It's beginning to look

Imagine my delight when I scanned through the cartoon-illustrated
booklet included with my new OneTouch Ultra meter and found that they
were recommending:
1. Test 2 hrs after a meal.

    Well, are they? Years ago, I had never heard of the term, Newel Post.
As I am wont to do, I looked it up after seeing it in a novel. After
that, Newel Post kept turning up everywhere. Now, since being diagnosed,
new diabetics are seemingly coming out of the woodwork.

Just got off the phone with MM, and my pump, a 715, will be here Monday!   First shared the
possibility of going on the pump here whenever it was that my endo first mentioned it, and
wanted this to be the first place I shared the good news!  I have to tell how I happened to

Mack, especially, would know.

Can acute stress cause a person's glucose reading to be higher than usual?
It seems lately that my husband's blood sugar reading is higher when he is
stressed.  TIA

Pumpers:
I was using a minimed 508 pump if your pump can use similar supplies
then let me know I have 2 and half boxes of reservoirs and 1 box of
soft set ultimate infusion sets 42" tubing 9 cannula.

 I just had an interesting period. My Bg decided to go nuts. I caught it
going thru 63 and drank a small glass of OJ which sent it up to 176 when I
took 5 units of Novolog and now it's at 93 right this second and I have no
idea if it's going lower. Wonder what's causing this? I ...

This morning I injected 10 units of Novolin N 100U, it didn't do crap to
my BG and people scared to death going low.
After a half hour of injection ate a low-carb burito, filled with some
chicken, vegetable mix, mayonnaise my BG went to 325 from 209 in 1 1/2 hour.

 The International Medical Veritas Association is opening a new
section on diabetes, and recommending transdermal magnesium chloride
