![]() Anna's Blog By: FatCatAnna The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes! Whoo! Whoo! I am a Type 1 diabetic diagnosed back in the early 60's as a child. I am living in Montreal, Canada and enjoy scribbling about diabetes from time to time. I’ve had my ups / downs just like any person would experience with going through life - diabetic or not. My motto in life? Diabetes does not control me – I control it!! You can find more posts/discussions at my Facebook page called "The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes" and also on Twitter under the name of FatCatAnna. Feel free to follow me at both places or send me a private message!

Hey Cherise, If you're BG's are doing okay - then you probably don't have to bother. I decided to do it as I had already done an overnight basal rate (due to waking up low in the a.m. - not fun). I then noticed that my BG's were running high during the morning hours after I got up. So, decided to give it a run, following the "bible" above (Pumping Insulin). It was tough, but like I said, between people urging me on in Twitter, with my posting my #bgnow made those 8 hours go fast (and it was fun)! I managed to figure out where to tweak my basal rate. I'll see how it goes this week. Alot of my PWD friends tho' wouldn't do what I do without their doctor supervising them. Which is probably a good thing to do if you aren't sure of what you are doing. Because I've been diabetic for so long and am self taught on this pump, I "sort of" know what I'm doing most of the time (close my eyes and aim for the bulls eye ). Sorry I couldn't join you in your adventure in the park (for those of you who don't know - I tried to invite myself along to the San Diego zoo with Cherise and her daughter on the w/e). I'm a big kid at heart ;D By: Diabetic_Iz_Me: Feb, 14, 2010 20:25 PM
Anna- I have to admit, I have never done a basal test. I may try one day but I do not need to yet. Good luck with tweeting your bg numbers every hour. injections (1) pump (1) insulin (1) test (1) basal (1) BG (1) Related posts:Type 1 vs. Type 2 | In a slump and scared | Surviving the Holocaust with Type 1 diabetes | Edmonton man denied insulin for 20 hours | Crack Free #ShowMeYourPump | Jenna and The Hypo Fairy | Wearing a dress with medical gadgets | Pre-op visit with endo at hospital | When You're Hot, You're Hot | I'm so excited |
