Clinical Trials

Wednesday, April 30th, 2003

Kim,
I have heard of either some studies or trials going on here at Yale. I
can’t tell you much about them because I just don’t have all the info.
Here is the only link that I have for them;
www.yale.edu
I hope you find something.

Marius,
These shift changes are messing us all up. We were all geared to this
frivolous/productive banter at the *usual* time. We can’t stay up 24 hrs a
day just to catch you at work when you keep shifting shifts. 8^ D
Thanks for letting us know; it will be about 11:30 p.m. EST (that’s
Eastern Stable Time - most of Indiana doesn’t change) for your next online
time. I REALLLLY should go to bed then. Maybe one really little message I
can handle. (-_-) Can’t speak for the others. We’re all going to have heart
attacks over this. 8^ )
I have an idea, get a PC at home with ‘net!

Hey people! The service through which I get my email is undergoing an
upgrade and I can’t get to my email for I-don’t-know-how-long, so I have
had to set my lists to nomail for the time being. I have web access from
another account so I am sending this from the One List web site. If
anyone needs to contact me, you can use my alternate email address
which is rainbow@… I also have AIM on which my
nickname is rnbwgdsz and ICQ 48983858 .
Hope to see everyone soon.

Different abilities

I know Canadians and citizens of the US of A have different terms; in the US
we call short-sighted someone who doesn’t see far into the future - just the
now. Those who look ahead as visionaries. We call people who have vision up
close as nearsighted. Those who cannot see close: farsighted.
To us (US), are you short-sighted or nearsighted. 8? )

coma

Thursday, April 24th, 2003

My comment on the following post that went though awhile ago:
I hope someone around us would recognize signs that we are comatose. DKA
(diabetic ketoacidosis) would show up first. Fruity breath odor would be a
major sign, High BGs, and throwing up. DO NOT let someone slip into a coma.
That is very risky. There should be enough warnings to prevent that from
happening. Friends being there for us will do nothing if they do not do
something FOR us. Comas often cause death.
My pump needle site was clogged last Christmastime and I did not know
it. At an SS Class party I was getting sicker by the minute, took a BG (I
carry a monitor w/me) and it read *error* 3 times because it was so high
(600+) it couldn’t even handle reading *HI*. A nurse in the class watched
me throw up all over the restaurant hallway; she later told me she thought I
was going into a coma right there. WHY didn’t she do something for me!?!?
Our brains don’t always function right when we have highs or lows. After a
45 minute ride home I took care of myself with 5u boluses every 2 hours
