Marc - I would be
inclined to agree w/you, if it wasn't for the fact it happened again today, and
I just changed out to a new site this morning. I was thinking that might be the
problem, so I changed and up I went to 357 or something close to that. But back
down this afternoon to a 65 after leveling out to 112 before lunch. Oh, the joys
of it all! I did drink a supplement in skim milk this morning. The supplement
has 10.5g of carbohydrates per serving. I also ate a 'small' crossiant. I
covered that with 3 units. Then up to 357 I went! Go figure! Another poster on
here emailed me and suggested it might be the Quick-set. But I didn't have
another one of those this morning, so I went back to the QR-set. Trying to
figure out this mess is such a joy! NOT! Anybody else have any suggestions? I'm
open to any GOOD ones!

Today was one
of those wet ones. Rained during the night and cooled things off quite a bit. It
started raining again late this afternoon. Hope it's better tomorrow. Hate
having to keep the granddaughter in the house all day, she really loves playing
outdoors. Steve's son is home from Japan, that's where he served his tour while
in the Navy. He'll be visiting us for a couple of weeks and then off to school.
He wants to go and get settled in before the fall term starts. Job hunting is
one thing he needs to do before school starts. Hope everyone has a good night.

Mr Zero,....just for the
record....I lived for 5 years under the NAZI Regime and saw several friends
executed by them who worked with me in the underground. If you don't know what
that is, look it up on the puter as you seem to have endless time to do so. So
to see you talk about a time when you were not even born yet is pretty stupid.
Your fellow inmate posted on here and told us about your condition. Therefore I
will excuse you for your non-stop nonsense because you may not even be aware of
what you are doing. This board however is here to help people, yes, even you. So
if you tell us what your condition is called I may be able to help you somewhat
since I have an extended medical library to look things up in. I'm sorry you are
in for that long a time.......I wonder if all those lows you complain about have
caused your condition because lack of sugar will affect the brain first. Glad to
help. JOHN.

Faith.... I have the same problem, mine is happening in the early AM. I will
tell you what I figured out and I know you won't like it. When that happens to
me(other than the early AM) it is a sign that it's time to switch out of my
site. Could you be having slower absorption because of your "very bad habit" of
going a week at a time? Just a thought, although not a happy one for you if it
is right. I am now doing the every 2 hours thing to pinpoint my morning problem,
it appears though that it's too much insulin and my highs are from bottoming
out. The joys of this disease. As to what Misty was talking about, Minimed has a
new, smaller, waterproof pump coming out in Feb of 2002. They have some sort of
upgrade program but if I recall it is not for 508's but models that are older
than that. The new one is even smaller and have more features then the 508, but
as I keep learning everyday I only use about a 1/4 of what's available.MISTY...
the part that scares me about the remote is you have no visual on what you are
taking. You listen, but I like to get a visual confirmation to the number I am
taking. You know the arrows work like that too, with it going up a .5 at a time,
but it beeps as you do it, like the remote, right? On to other things, my horse
lost in the Kentucky Derby and GO LAKERS AND KINGS!!!!!!!!!! Marc

Just returned
from our monthly dart tournament. It was a very small tournament with only 10
players. Everyone still had fun and thats what counts. Had breakfast with my
Aunt Betty this morning and returned the pictures she gave me to scan for my
Family History research. She's been a big help with information and pictures.
Fasting bs this morning was 139 and right now its 165. Everyone have a good
night. Anita, you got that right. It sure does help if the little ones are kept
busy and happy.

I'm gathering
that the remote is only w/the 508? I haven't had the 507 very long, I don't
think I could get my insurance companies to go for another upgrade at this
point. But that remote control feature sounds great. Hope you all are having a
good weekend. GO SPURS GO!
On Sat May 5 14:29:07 2001 Misty (chngn@yahoo.com) said:
Hi to all! Sam
& Marc, I have been using the remote control for a year now and love it.
That is how I can hide the pump in my bra and never have to move it all day. The
remote works great when eating out. It can be set for a .5 or 1.0 bolus, each
time you press the button it will give you the set amount. Remember you must
push the act button until it beeps to wake it up, then press the bolus button
for the amount you want and push act again. It will then play back by beeping to
confirm that is the amount you really want. You then must push the act button
one last time and it will start pumping. It only takes a few seconds to do. Good
luck, love & luck, Misty

Hi...I've
had type 1 diabetes for quite a few years now (30) and I seem to be doing ok
though have recently been diagnosed with coeliac (that's how we spell it in
australia) also have lactose intolerance and am not completely happy with having
to cope with the three...would like to think about things other than diet
(especially reading labels), b.s.ls (four times daily - too much)and exercise
(always feeling tired - think I'm bored!) would like to chat with someone who
has a broad understanding of diabetes and coeliac, as I have, but has other
interests e.g. all types of music, poetry self-styled, movies, enviro-humanity
awareness - can't think of anything else right now..fun, happiness - need a
little.

to relax watching, I can see how that would lower stress on any granny and be a
good thing especially for a diabetic granny. We were kindred spirits, I guess
cause Jerry and I went chinese for supper today. He is a peel em and eat em
shrimp freak, and I go for the griled chicken and mushrooms and pepper steak
more. also had curnchy green beans, and some of their grilled and shkiskabobbed
chkcken. No rice, but lots of hot unsweetened tea too. Hey, Gordon was I good or

Today was a
fairly good day. Daughter came by and we went to the Florence Mall, of course we
had Jenna with us and she was really a very good little girl. Didn't give any
trouble at all. We ate at the Courtyard in the Mall. They have a great chinese
beef and rice meal. Couldn't eat it all though. Jenna of course had a hotdog
with cheese on it from Gold Star Chili. Once we got home Penny left and Jenna
played in the sand box we bought her yesterday. She really enjoys playing in the
sand. It's fun just watching her play. I usually take my book and a soft drink
out with me and sit on the porch swing. We took it out yesterday, so now I can
really get comfortable with my book while watching Jenna. BS this morning was
149, at least I think that's what it was. Well I took my evening pill so its
getting close to my bedtime. Everyone have a good night and good BS in the
morning.

Let me know how ya like it.Faith.. how about the loser has to bake the winner
cookies (sugar free of course) Although you must know if I lose I will make

I tried 3 bloodsugar
testers against each other this morning. Lifescan Ultra-Dex-Glucometer Elite.
The readings were quite far apart from each other. Do you all find the same???
As long as you stick to one tester it won't make that much difference except in
the very low ranges. Also the arm testing with the Ultra didn't work with me.
Those who have more fleshy arms probably can do that better. I'm all muscle and
have an terrific uppercut. Which reminds me of Mr. Zero. Glad to see you in top
