  1. Again let me speak as if I knew something. Most Type 1 diabetics find that they get their blood sugar "under control" and have good results for the first several years after diagnosis (the "honeymoon period") and then a couple years later they suddenly find that the stuff they were doing before no longer keeps their blood sugar under control. I had this happen too and am still dealing with it. They think the "honeymoon period" is when there's still some residual insulin production happening in the pancreas that supplements the initial basal insuling your doctor is prescribing, and when the period ends you usually have to dramatically increase your basal insulin. Your doctor needs to prescribe a great deal more insulin. You should never "go without"--you need the basal insulin to live. I still think there's hope for you!

    Another SOB doesn't want to pay.

    Hey Toadsprocket. I think you should probably get a lawyer.
  4. I changed my mind. The point of the board is love.
  5. When I first came down with diabetes my blood sugar was 662. It's been up in the 400's a couple times since then. Do you wear an insulin pump? The "therapy" for high blood sugar is basically just a huge shot of insulin right away, and then you check your blood sugar every hour or so to make sure it's working, and give yourself more insulin if it isn't coming down. Having blood sugar that high is not a good thing at all, and over the long term you're going to start seeing complications quicker than you normally would, but I don't think you're going to die from blood sugar at 500, unless you actually kill yourself by driving or operating heavy machinery or shooting yourself in the head with a gun.
  6. I think the point of the board is to have some fun!

    American Health Care vs Canadian

    Yes I would agree the American health care system is totally so simple that we can identify, measure and correct the "problems" with it through the sharing of anecdotes!

    Does your job define you?

    Left the law firm a year ago and went in-house at a hospital. So my self-definition improved a great deal since in theory I'm now saving lives instead of just billing big companies for my time. Not as fun as hunting dead sharks but then again what is. Hope all's well with you and yours.

    Does your job define you?

    We're defined by what we do. If we spend two-thirds of our waking hours at our jobs, then obviously as a matter of simple math our jobs are a major part of what defines us. It's natural to want to think otherwise, but that's crap.
