@AustinRuadhain I sent him a message, hopefully he'll let me hang out in the background ;)

add me also!

@AustinRuadhain The thread for May registration has already closed :/

request sent

I'll add you, I gave up on WW when Freestyle came out.

I'm sending you a request immediately, you're response there sealed the deal. :D I have two kids, a 15 yr old son and a 11 yr old daughter. I was doing pretty good last year trying to lose weight and then my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and well..... my diet isn't the priority any more. Hers has to be, but…

I'm back again also. Good luck!

@midwesterner85 I've learned in the past couple of months that sometimes it's better to talk to someone who has a couple decades of experience vs the physician (or in our case *diabetic educators*) :# Right now, we don't have her on low carb, she can have up to 75 carbs per meal, but we try not to go that high. I'm just…

@kpk54 ...........I did, in the title. I labeled the thread with type 1 in it....

So for instance if my daughter has a 'trace' or 'small' amount of ketones, but has a normal blood sugar, then that would mean she is in ketosis, right? And we don't need freak out that she's going to go into DKA?...

You seem to be wanting to pick an argument or maybe you just feel better when you're criticizing someone else. Most people don't want to have random conversations with 'every single stranger' they see.

LOL Good reason!

I was just about to make a post to see if there is anyone that would want to do a daily check-in accountability group. I'm struggling with tracking and dedication.

I like the row machine so that's good. Thanks!

@mom23mangos I've never seen anyone do it from their knees, I'll start there next time.

@MikePTY. 2 reasons actually... #1 I'm paying for gym membership, so I would like to utilize the equipment there as much as possible. And 2... I'm not sure about the cleanliness of the floor at our gym lol. I do planks at home. :)

@singingflutelady @NorthCascades I'll have to look those up.

@jseams1234 I tried this once. It was u.g.l.y. lol. BUT I'll give it another try.

@mom23mangos I haven't got to hanging yet but i can do the captain's chair or now. I'm trying to get more upper body strength before I attempt too many hanging exercises. Some of those I'll have to look up. Lol

OMG... you know I had to, right? LOL

@cricketpower it's fine. It was interesting to read anyway. @midwesterner I've never done a run or marathon, but you chase me with zombies and I might just finish that one. lol Sounds fun.

lol yes I agree!!

@23rochelle23 @tcunbeliever @nvmomketo @Sunny_Bunny_ @midwesterner85 @margbarco Thank ya'll for your responses, sorry that I'm just now responding to them. We've had another issue going on. We started a new bolus pen on Thursday and every since then around lunch time she starts running low, so we've got to do some…

This actually isn't the dawn phenomenon according to her doctors/educators. Dawn phenomenon is usually a gradual increase that happens while you are still sleeping. Her spike happens after she wakes up. The diabetes educators told me that it's happening because she smells the breakfast that I'm cooking and her body is…

I'll give these a try. I'm ok with paying 75 for the 3 pack of sensors anyway. We were paying more than that for the test strips.

Just a quick update, the dr called in the Libre, we're getting it from Walmart and Blue Cross is actually paying a very small amount on it, but I'm suprised they are paying anything since it's not approved for children yet. Anyway we are getting the Libre and 1 month supply of sensor s fir $145, whereas the Dexcom reader…

I just now saw this.... We're hoping to get the Libre with the MiaoMiao, but right now we're still struggling with her doctor, who continues to push for the dexcom. The Libre isn't FDA approved for kids in the US yet, so we're trying to get her to prescribe it off label. Even at cash price, the Libre is way cheaper than…

I'm debating getting one of these for my daughter, so if you get one please let me know how you like it. There's also a transmitter (I think it's called nightrider) that can attach to it that will give transmit the readings without having to scan and is supposed to allow for the low/high alarms through an app. It seems…

The store I was at only had that 1 kind. It was an impulse buy :( but we're going to look for the one with the flax in it and give it a try since Flaxseed is supposed to help stabilize blood sugars. Thanks for your help.

Why do you say pulled pork is all carbs?
