Let me start this by saying that I know I should ask my doctor, but he just
keeps pushing more and more insulin.   It peeked last summer when I went
unconscious from a low from the Lantus.    I have since reduced my Lantus
intake from 70 units to 38 units.   I also take Humalog ...

Thanks for your posts.   I am an old bum but I do
understand that speculation is easy but does not produce any
good results.
I have always respected Jennifer's posts.  Why be critical

I always liked it when MHD was for technical information and then
ASD was created by Jude to provide the support function.
Di, we all know that we need support when diabetes reached a certain
stage.  Even Newbies need a bit of assurance.  I clearly remember

Everyone knows I control my diabetes with portion control because I*

Anybody know how to use Glucomannan in baking? I read "add one
teaspoon of Konjac Glucomannan flour to 2 cups wheat flour." I would

Why do we humans have to make things more difficult than they need to
be?  Why can't we just say "post-meal" or "after meal"?
Ok, I'm being semi-lighthearted here, but I was wondering where the
word came from.  Here's the definition and history...

I had a difficult time drinking coffee and tea because of the acid
would hurt my stomach even if only 2 cps a day. I just discovered that
if I disolve a package of unflavored gelatin in 2 cps of hot water
before steeping the tea bag, it doesn't irritate my stomach. I haven't

I'm a T-1, for 13 years or so.  I have had 2 known episodes of diabetic
keto-acidosis which are memorable.  One more serious than the other.  One
just led to a few poor days at home.  The first and I had no idea why I
nearly died.  I don't know if there are any other types of ...
