Glucose Buddy

Enough to keep me alive :)

My daughter was diagnosed at 16 months old and she is now 4. She is such a tropper and is learning to do her finger pricks by herself.

My son was diagnosed on his first birthday. We ran out of fingers and toes! He started using his insulin pen around 5 years old with me holding the pen so he could press the button. He's 12 now and loves Glucose Buddy and his ITouch.

A rule of thumb I use is don't count sugar, count carbs. It helps so much!

Some forget the stuff in the sugar free stuff...if you eat a lot of it can give you bubble guts. Anything you put in your mouth brings your sugar up Its just depends how fast its broken down.

Smooth as silk, guys - thanks a million.

Keep on logging everyone, we do it for you guys.

These kids AND the parents need some serious counseling to get to the root of the problem. Whether it's bad parenting, the inability to say no... whatever... it needs to be addressed. Personally, l think taking the kids away from the parents may only promote their bad habits. They probably eat as a coping mechanism.

It must suk to have diabetes in any Prison huh? After all, are they not a subset of anyone with diabetes and not only in Texas.

You play, you pay. l'm sorry his health is suffering but should he get a lighter punishment because of it? No.

or a skirt? ;)

Pati...one more time...it is not a skirt, it is a kilt damnit!

No one is advertising that babies who are breastfed are 100's of times more likely to develop diabetes due to vitamin d deficiencies in the Moms. It's a stupid, political scare tactic.

I BF all my kids in the beginning, and 3 of the 4 were on formula within their first year. One couldn't nurse well b/c of a medical problem, one lost interest, and one had to be weaned due to a family emergency. My almost 3 yr old, who was nursed almost exclusively, would still nurse if I were willing. You cannot tell by their health, IQ, or level... See More of attatchment which were nursed exclusively and which were not. I was made to feel like a failure b/c I didn't make it to a year with some ot my babies. When I did make it a year, I felt accomplished, but not "better". Frankly, if people are so concerned about the method of feeding instead of the level of love and care the baby receives, they miss the whole point of parenting. The babies aren't going to remember how they were fed, just how they were loved.

Good story. I've used my wii fit 5 times. I need to use it more.

You are most welcome Matt! With the help of Glucose Buddy I lowered my A1C from 7.1 to 6.1 in two months! My doctor is happy and so am I. :)

Matt, that was great coverage of a great produce and a great person!! Way to go!

I've been using the app fr about a week, had to go from a pump to syringes for a month or two and we (diab educator) and I have to redo all my insulin doses.
I'm forever forgetting to write down my results or doses or take my book with me or transfer my results to my book. This app is a godsend - my phone is with me 24/7 and it takes 2 seconds to ... See Moreenter in the details, I've been a type 1 diabetic for over 25 years and hve never had such detailed and accurate records.
Thanks so much!!!
PS I'm also an Aussie so greatly appreciate the alternative measurements included in the app.

Thanks for the feedback, Josh. Has anyone else experienced a timeout?
The forum is not linked anywhere on our website because it is totally non-public right now.

Was able to post this morning with no difficulty in the "When were you..." thread.

Again, great addition with this Forum/discussion board Matt.

I've found T1 discussion boards are worth their weight in gold as regards getting management advice from people that actually have diabetes, or in having had it for many years have perspective and experience on whole host of topics.... See More

Cheers
