Welcome to the bash phillybear thread before it's too late.

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! -

Hey Toadsprocket. I think you should probably get a lawyer.

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. -

But I love you.

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!

That's just a list of fast food places with a brief synopsis of your opinions about them.

I was at the Dolphins-Chargers 41-38 playoff game in the Orange Bowl in 1982 (the Kellen Winslow game). -
Hi Jerry! So, how's life?

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.

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.
