Find more videos like this on Tu Diabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes



I am a member of a few diabetic communities on the net. I wanted to mention Manny Hernandez, creator of Tudiabetes.com. On August 22, 2008 Tudiabetes.com reached 4,000 members and still growing by the second. I have met so many people from all walks of life and from different countries. I think it's amazing how we all have united through Manny's dream and vision. Tudiabetes showed me Diabetes doesn't have to be a lonely disease, post a question or submit a blog, someone will answer. I have people to laugh, cry and ask why? someone is always there to answer.
In order for Tudiabetes to be able to continue to run we need your help. We need to raise 20,000.00 by September 30. Please see the video and you'll understand why I and many others need Tudiabetes.com to stay around.

Guess What! OmniPod has new Software

I am so glad to have my internet back. I moved last week and I had to wait a week for Verizon to set-up Fios. I must say it was worth the wait! The internet service is extremely fast.
I went to visit TuDiabetes and one of the members there posted a discussion about the Omnipod's new software! it user friendly; unlike the PATHFINDER. The only problem I have is that it is only capable with internet explore, not safari! I can get over it as long as the software provides the info I need. Plus, it's better than trying to get the infer red on the pathfinder to match up with the PDM.
Omnipod Partners has a care plan where you can enter the recommended BG levels, meal time slots, basal programs, BG target range, IC Ratio, Correction factor. There is a Insurance tab- you can enter insurance information and a Physician tab. As you can tell, I am very excited.
If anyone as used the software, let me know what you think.

Have a great weekend.

It's that time again, Aunt Dottie's back

Dear Aunt Dottie,

I noticed you decided to visit me today, I was so happy when I saw you. I knew I could defeat you (thanks to my friends at Tudiabetes.com).I am more prepared than ever! I am in control of YOU! I changed my basal dosage to 8.0 from 4-6 am; for some odd reason YOU make my fasting bg's higher than normal. I will not allow you to ruin my bg's for the next 7 days, just because God invited you to visit, doesn't mean I will let you bring the DEVIL out; I was already mean to my Husband because of you. I want you to stop beating my body up and sending me through an emotional roller coaster. I am in control of you. I suggest you fix your attitude or pack your bags and leave...

Love,
Cherise

P.S.
Darn....I forgot I can't check you out! you'll be back next month!

Sugar fingers

I checked my BG's 2 hours after eating a salad and chicken tenders
210!!! Not possible...Ding Dong!!! Can you think of anything I could
have done to cause a high BG??
First thought- maybe I had too much salad dressing, nope ruled out.
Second thought-maybe my Pod site has a clot or blood in the cannula,
nope everything is okay there.
Ding, Ding!! I got it!!!!!!! I cut an apple for Niya and right after
that I checked my BG's and the sugar from the apple caused my BG's to
rise. I checked my BG's again...132!!! I cleared my throat, I never
forget to wash before I test, I promised myself---never forget to
wash my hands before checking my BG's....

My talk with Wesley...

It's no secret...I've been having problems with the Dawn P. I am not ashamed to say but gosh if I could get my fasting BG's back in order I think I would be good to go. I called Wesley (NP, Endo office), I let him know I can go to bed with my BG being 106 and wake up with it being 120! he said it's not that bad but I would need to keep increasing my basal rate from 4-6 am to .75 and keep increasing until I get my fasting bg's lowered! I'll keep trying and trying!!!I will not let DAWN P. beat me...hahahaha
