Mandy, you are right. However,
one should be as stable as possible before the pump is used. Also, it needs to
be known exactly how much insulin will reduce bg by a specified amount.

I
haven't posted on here for a while, I am sorry for my little outburst the other
day.....I am now over it. I asked my diabetic nurse about getting an insulin
pump, and she said that you have to have stable bloodsugars, I thought that the
reason for the pumps was to help people with unstable blood sugars.

I heard about this last month.
Like Pete, a pump will not work for me. Will ask the doc about this. A good way
to learn how things are going, especially when asleep!

Very good post on the CGMS piloted at
Crozer-Chester. I had to go do some research....by the way, type CGMS on Google
and it brings it right up, this is getting easier. The post, however,
pre-supposes two things - access to that level of technology and physicians
knowledgeable enough to use it, and insurance. Pumps were ruled out because of
occupation - farming, which is not a 'controlled exercise' environment. But it
looks like an excellent product for many people. The GOOD NEWS for Squats and
Faith etc. is Pete has virtually NO SIDE EFFECTS from his diabetes after 15
years. Doesn't mean he always feels well but he has all the tests done on a
regular basis and takes excellent care of himself, and not one pound overweight.
So it isn't all dismal.

How To Handle Anger During Low Blood
Sugars by John Walsh, P.A., C.D.E., and Ruth Roberts, M.A. Copyright (c) 1997,
2001 by Diabetes Services, Inc. Anger during a low blood sugar is usually
triggered by the release of stress hormones. Normally, the release of these
hormones gradually helps return blood sugar levels to normal. But these "fight
or flight" hormones and the associated hypoglycemia also have a darker side that
makes it harder for a person to react in a normal way. It helps in this altered
situation for others to recognize as early as possible that a low blood sugar is
taking place so that it may be treated quickly. Here are common symptoms that
indicate a low blood sugar is underway.

Faith
When I go low I do get a little frustrated, but only with myself for not getting
it before I need help. I have shouted at my husband I think a few times, but I
seem to keep calm now, I personally don't think that anyone has to lash out at
people who are trying to help them, and I know some of you are going to jump on
me for saying that, but that is my point of veiw.

Is that only out in America? Do you know if it is on the U.K market yet? I am
not too bad with my diabetes, just trying to get it slightly better than what it
is. I was constantly hypo, so I never had any symptoms that I was hypo, until I
got to about 2.0 mmols or lower then I would sometimes pass out, so I wouldn't
mind getting my hands on one of these little gadgets.
