Hi All! Carolyn...even though so far none of us have the insulin pump it is good that you mention it and chat about your days as well. Someone with type1 may happen to see your post while they are cruising or visiting!! I am happy for you that you are pleased with it...Lord knows if something helps normalize us it is wonderful!!
Raisonettes........I LOVE raisonettes Shelley!! I bought some at the bulk store about a month ago...YUMMY..but my sugar flies up and I feel so sick after I eat them!!
Where has shiney Sue been...Sue Sue...where are you?!!!
Hope you are OK.
Sandy...how did your Mom do at her appointment...I have been praying for her!
Billie!! PLEASE please check in with us...you matter so much to me and I am worried about you ...I see that you have not been in all week...PM me if you want to but please connect in some way
I have had a rough week with alot of LOW sugars...converted it was around 48 and as low as 43....I felt like crap.....shaking, sweating, mixing up my words...frustrated, agitated, weak, confused...it was awful.
Today I kept it up to72...much better!! It is so strange...it takes me time to get over it...it frightened me though and I was glad that Saffire was sleeping thru the worst low blow...I managed to call my Mom and Dad and keep them on the line....then checked in a few times afterwards.
What a disease!
Hope you all have a good night!!

Hi All!

Its a beautiful Saturday here. I am inspired by it and have decided to go to our storage locker and get out my bike and dust it off.

Dorrie - how scary about your sugars. I am glad though you had support in your mom and dad.

Billie, please come back we miss you. I want to see some of those lovely pics you post each day. You have no idea how some of them just made me smile.

Carolyn, I am working on a sticky for this forum. So if you have some good advice for pump users ot Diabetes 1 please let me know.

Good day to all!

Hi Dorrie, Shelley & group,
I am okay. I just got off work. Didn't have to do much like some weeks. The last I knew my diet was okay also. About the same. I do have to watch in order not to gain. Of'course I feel better, since I am not suppose to eat sugar anyway. My exercise is going fine. I walk everyday and go a long ways somedays.

Say Carolyn, I do know someone in our town that is on a insulin pump. She said she is doing great the last time I ask her. She is a teenager and skinny as can be. I remember when her reading was real high, like better three hundred. I don't know much about her tho. If you want me to ask her any questions I'd be glad to. She works at the grocery store.
Hugs,
Billie

Hello fellow diabetics!!!! Good to see you popped in Billie!!! I hear that Shelley is starting South Beach tomorrow!! I have a hard time with the low low carb diets...my sugars drop too low and I get really sick...however I think I will take the book out at the library and check it out!! I would love to get on to a program that actually works!!
My sugars are better today...I have made a point of checking my sugar more often and eating a little more appropriatley....except those 20 or so lucky charms marshmellows...I wanted more but did not want the high sugar to go with it!! This disease really is a tricky and constant battle!
Have a great day

Hi Shelley! The South Beach Diet...is there a version for diabetics? Just curious as I have been on Atkins before and there just was not enough carbs to keep my sugars up...I ended up sick.
ps...I hope there is!

YAY Billie!!!!!! I love the picture. I feel like that sometimes.

Hmmmmm Dorries I dont know if SB works for diabetics. I am not full blown diabteic yet evern though it runs in the family. I am insulin resistant which is one step away. I know I last longer between meals if I balance my proteins and carbs. So I usually try to do 40% protein, 30% carbs and 30% fats. The fats are the good fats none of that transfats stuff. And the carbs are usually veggies or low glycemic fruits. Hey did you know that cherries are one of the lowest glycemic fruits?

Have a god night everyone.
Oh yeah and I got my bike out today so I will start exercising!

Good Luck with the diet and the exercise Shelley.....I am going to really think about joining you guys however must do a little research to see if there are enough carbs in it for me!
Please keep an eye on your sugars Shelley!!

Tomorrow is the day Shelley!! Don't be like me and splurge today...won't help you later!!!!
We are going out on the road today....I must remember to eat!!! Got my sugar pills just in case!!
You gals all have a super day

Dorrie...I saw you on the other thread. Put those lucky Charms down.

Have fun on your outing today.

Hugs for the room.
