Diabetes Information

Babs,
You are not as new as YOU feel. We value your wisdom, input, humor,
experience, and whatever else I forgot to say. We do not like for you to be
quiet and suffer your headaches alone. Your words that you feel need to be
said are a necessary part of this list - let those who want to lurk just
lurk and miss out. But without posts this list dies.
You are learning about DM, therefore, your education is valuable to someone
who may not have the same advantage you have. It’s like when my 7-y/o took
piano lessons and I was 29. I took lessons right beside her because I wanted
to learn as a REAL beginner - not as an adult that might know something (of
course, I got soooo good I quit because I didn’t want to make dau feel bad
<gr
and lunch intake has not changed, but my insulin dosages (boluses) have been
reversed in the last year or two.
I know the Canadian healthcare system is different than ours. Therefore,

what we have available in the USA may not be readily available there. New
techniques and ideas are developing. Someone who has had decades of
experience may not realize the information that has been updated for our
betterment. MDI (Multiple Daily Injections) with a very long-acting insulin
and short-acting offers better control. After 16.5 years of pumping, I have
learned MUCH off a pump list that I did not know and now know there is a LOT
I need to learn and readjust.
So, Babsie, dear, TALK. {{{{{}}}}}
amen,

P.S. Waiting to hear back from Mia.
