I just finished steroid eye drops for swelling of my cornea from a fall & the drops are absorbed just like an injection apparently. My blood sugars stayed in the 200's until the day after the drops were finished. As the dose decreased from 3 to 2 to 1 drop a day my sugars gradually started lowering.

I can't stand that auto correct!! It's supposed to read Nutrisystem D not nutrition D

Hi, I've been T1 for 41yrs. I've been on a pump nearly 2yrs. My endo's NP has been tweaking my doses a little at a time trying to stop so many lows. Currently I take a total of 20-30u/day with 12.60u being basal. My carb ratio from 11am to midnight is 12:1 & from midnight is 15:1. She just changed my sensitivity from 40 to…

Thanks AlliSteff, . I appreciate your response. If you would like send me a friend request. T1 friends are very important for each other. Diane

Hi Trisha, I've been T1 for 42 year. I was diagnosed when I was 27. I'd be happy to add you hopefully we can help, encourage & support each other.! Diane

Hi & welcome to MFP. I've been T1 for 42 years & I've tried every artificial sweetener out there & sooner or later you find out they're not good for you. Now I'm reading articles that say Truvia is the best one to use...so I am. Truvia has no calories & just a few carbs. I usually eat breakfast about one hour before…

Thank you Mike. I appreciate your input. I might just try my hips. Diane

When I get grumpy or grouchy or snap at hubby for no apparent reason, he always tells me to go check my sugar

Hi, my name is Diane & Ive been T1 for 40 yrs but only on a Medtronic Paradigm 523 for 1 year & wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm sending you a request.

Hi Bob, My name is Diane & I have been a T1 for 40 years but have only been a pumper for 9 mos. I still have a lot to learn about the workings of my pump which is a Medtronic Minimed Paradigm. I am loving it. Ive been through many different health problems b/c of diabetes over the years. Since on MFP & going to the gym as…

I forgot.....my diary is public.

Ive lost 30+ lbs & ive been a T1 for 40 yrs. I gained ~ 40 lbs after open heart sgy in '05. Its taken 21 mos to lose 36 lbs but ive done in a safe & healthy way. Its a forever lifestyle & its something you have to be able to maintain forever. Quick fixes & improper nutrition aren't healthy & unsustainable. I would suggest…

Hi Kathy, Welcome aboard!! My name is Diane & Ive been T1 for 40 yrs (since age 27). Ive been using MFP for 530 days (as of today). Its been a great tool for accountability & MFP friends are great for support & encouragement, especially thr T1's b/c they understand & all have the same struggles.. I just got a pump on July…

Its really good in a salad of your choice of lettuces or baby spinach, cottage cheese(i like 2% small curd) manderine orange, sliced almonds & lite italian dressing. I hated it before trying it this way but now i could eat it every day. Most of the time i eat it w/no sugar added sliced peaches(i cut them up in small…

Ive been wondering what others take also. Ive been a diabetic 39 yrs but only using a pump approx 6-8 weeks. Im loving it too! My carb ratio is 1:14 My basal is .4/hr My daily total avg i25-26 u.

I HATE water but since using MIO I drink three 32oz waters a day on most days. I love it!! My favorite is the peach tea & for a change-up, orange tangerine (it tastes just like those old orange soft drinks) If I'm out of it...no water intake til I get more!! 8)

Sorry Syd, this computer has been crazy lately & jumping all over the place!! That reply was supposed to read "the old you! CONGRATS on a job WELL DONE!!!"

Terrific NSV Syd!! You look incredibly amazing!! It is VERY obvious why you werent recognized...you dont look ANYTING like the old on a job WELL DONE!! Diane

Hi Marella, I was 27yrs old in 1973 when I was diagnosed with diabetes. No one ever said T1 or T2.. I had numerous hospitalizations in the beginning years because of ketoacidosis. My brother was a T1 but passed away when he was 42. My husband & oldest daughter are T2's diagnosed a few years ago. When originally diagnosed I…

Dont know what happened but the missing part of my post was supposed to say Friend me if you like.

I find 4ozs of apple juice do the trick for me(measured} You are supposed to follow the 15 min rule but sometimes it takes 30 min to come up & every 15 min you can overtreat & end up with a high rebound. I used to eat (or gobble) anything & everything around me until the symptoms subsided Fother diabetics truly…
