this is a ridiculous thread i’m sorry i read it

ok so now i put the pump in a brand new place that i haven’t put it on in a while… i also stopped eating (allsgr8’s suggestion last time this happened but this time i wont eat at all) and changed isulin bottles and now it’s 118!!!! it’s the weirdest thing that it happened! emailed my doc (the only waty to get a hold of her….) and now waiting to see what she says cuz i know that as soon as i start eating it’s gonna go nuts!! i wonder if it’s a lack of sleep cuz i haven’t been sleeping well at all. i will iyh ask my doctor about that theory….. it’s crazy at times like this i HATE HATE this “thing” (i don’t want to call it a disease…) i guess we just have to daven that Hashem help us in controlling….

me too so how do we do that?!?!?!?

i am

i wish we cld get a hold of eachother too! i think it would be nice to have friends that really understand what we go through! oh well i guess this will have to be enough for now

i didn’t know there was one.. but i’m not going anyways so i guess it doesn’t matter

reb- that is understandable to me actuaaly (that you are more nervous) because you know how it is to live with diabetes and i’m syre you don’t want that for her…. she doesn’t know like you do so she’s prob not AS nervous!

keep us posted!

haha allsgr8 you read my mind i was thinking the same thing!

i teach first grade and the way we learn new words is i put the words on the board and then say a sentence and they have to put the correct word in the sentence. one of the words was “lemonade” the sentece was “my dad sips_______ from a glass” to which one of my boys called out “BEER!!!” i couldn’t stop laughing!!

i’m also really nervous about pregnancy but when i asked my doc abt it she said that diabetics usually have a safer and healthier pregnancy than others because they’re so controlled. you work with a nutrtionist and are very closely monitored and then there is no reason why we can’t have as many kids as we like…. it’s just a scary thought because it is unknown to us! i think we just have to do our best and trust Hashem…

the only coffee i drink is decaf and i don’t drink soda ever so i don’t really have any caffine in my system late at night when i want to sleep

says who- what are these pills called? are they over the counter or do you need a perscribtion?

i have a lot of trouble sleeping, both falling asleep and staying asleep… i tried everything.. my friend told me she heard that if you say Perek kuf lamed gimmel (133) in tehillim you will fall asleep in a few minutes and stay asleep… i have yet to try it.. has anyone ever heard this??

i get such issues with certin medications it’s the weirdest thing! i wonder why that’s only me….

all such beautiful words!!!!

i have a story which really opened my eyes to this fact… they say that on your hebrew birthday Hashem answers your Tefilos so of course on my birthday i davened for a lot of things including a shidduch. the NEXT DAY i get a phone call from a Shadchan telling me she has someone. it ended up not being for me but i hung up the phone and i cried because i felt like Hashem was talking to me saying “don’t worry I didn’t forget….” since then i try very hard to notice the “small” things in life that Hashem helps me with… ie: i drop a lense and i manage to find it… or i manage to get a spot in front of the place i need to go etc!

i think it’s important to realize that Hashem does EVERYTHING for us no matter how small it may seem!

thanks everyone your suggestions and advice were much appreciated!! i did what all of you said and now i’m only a little high as opposed to really high! now lwt’s hope the anibiotics don’t make it go up more… does anyone ever have problems with medications other than insulin? generic brands of everything make me crazy!!

help i am getting sick and my numbers are going out of control! they always do when i am coming down with something….. i hate it cuz it always makes me feel worse than i already do? i can’t get my numbers down! anyone have any advice??

BOSD maybe it’s a bad batch of insulin? check for keatones!

i had same problem before i was diagnosed mosh3

i don’t eat honey because i just don’t like it (its just sooo sticky!!!!!!)so i dont have th extra sugar problem!

and sometimes drinking water with sandpaper mouth just doesnt help does anyone find that?? i hate that feeling!!!

health-i’m definately npt the type who does nothing i do as much as i could… eat right, exercise daily, bolus correctly, go to the doctor every 3 months etc…. i do my hishtadlus…. i was just saying Hashem decides because i wanted people to stop argueing about genetics… (and while were on the subject….i happen to believe that there is a lot of genetics involved in diabetes and i would NOT marry someone with it because i don’t want this life for my kids.. but i also know that it doesn’t come ONLY from genes as i do not have any one in my family from either side for generations back, that had any form of diabetes, type one, two or gestational. but i do think genes do have an feect to some extent so i don’t think a blanket statment can be made as to if it is or isn’t hereditary, we’ll never know the truth so that is what i meant by my comment about Hashem. and if you re read my comments you will see that i never claimed in any way shape or form that we don’t have to do our part, and if i did please point it out to me so i could corrrect my mistakes..)

health- i don’t understand why you feel the need to be mean about everything.. could be you were joking (it’s hard to tell in typing) but i did not find it funny and i just want to say i’m beginning to take offense from you it’s really not fair…. now i’ll let it go because i’m trying to work on myself….

BOSD i 100% agree with you and if i recall i never said we shouldn’t do our very best i was just trying to make everyone stop going sooooo deeply into genetics! i’m sorry if you took it the wrong way but trust me when i say i know we have to do our best!!

over yomtov i foumd it really hard to estimate how much to bolus at each meal therefore i was on a roller coaster.. too high then too low etc. after 4 meals i had enough and ate salads and low carbs i can’t deal with another set of 6!!!!!

why are you people still arguing???? you know youre not gonna come to an agreement!!! PLEASE move on!!

oysh i’m so sorry rebbitzen… i know it’s sooooo hard on yom kippur!!! i messed myself up because when i tested right before the fast it was 301 so i gave correction but i forgot that it was right after the seuda so i drank ,some juice right before but i still had too much insulin in my system i was so scared… it sropped really quickly i had to suspend all insulin delivery for 4 hours (not all at once but 4 hrs total) at night then jst did a temp basal for rest of day.. at the very end it was 71 but at that point it was ok to wait till havdala… it was very nerve wracking i’m happy it’s over!! (now lets see how long it takes to get back to normal…)

lol allsgr8 it’s just funny to me that i never heard a biy having it it’s a bit weird to me……

health-i’m not sure ALL type one diabetic cases are genetic though i did hear that theory…. i happen to be the only one in my (quuite large) extended family who has it… and i’m talking about from generations back. though i do know a 9 year old girl who’s father has it (hey another man with it…….. i forgot about him lol) so that is a proof to your theory as well =)
