My opinion of the sliding scale: It’s like hiding from the tornado after it has already hit! The damage has already occured. You are treating a high just before a meal, a high that has been high for 4 hours already. It just does not make any sort of logical sense! I did this for a while! Things were getting pretty bad. I am also a nurse and I see clients treating a 400 BG, stuffing their face, it goes right back up and stays that way until the next meal! That blood is like karo syrup by the end of the day! No wonder there are so many complications. It is time for diabetics to start jumping in the cellar ahead of the storm! Treat yourself for the number of carbs you eat not for how high you already are. If your doctor thinks you are too stupid to master this, find a new one or at the very least tell him he has insulted your intelligence. 99.9% of my patients have figured this out, no problem. Thoughts…….

I am experiencing a total lack of motivation for everything. Exercise, diet, monitoring, life…… The list goes on and on…… Anyway what sort of things bring you up when you are down? Any suggestions?

Ok, so does anyone ever feel like they brought themselves down too fast? I just went from 274 to 95 in a few miniutes. I feel sick to my stomach and depressed! It has been a tough day….. Christmas Party….. with cookies:(:eek:

As some of you know I have been in a study and recieving adult stem cells IV. So far I am seeing some pretty great #’s! I am considering dialing back my basal this week due to many hypos. It’s very exciting. I have also had some vision improvements. I have been in the 80’s-90’s all day today, this was rare for me up to a month ago!
