WELCOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
oysh reb i know the feeling! i agree with alls- night numbers have a huge affect. do you have a sensor? if you do, do you notice any change over night? if not, you think youd be interested in getting one? i think its very helpful. since ive started with my sensor ive seen a huge improvement in my BS. ( i sound like a sales rep lol)
why you wanna switch docs? youre not happpy with the one your with or you think someone else will help you more?
keep strong!! i have confidence in you!!!!
Reb – i so so sorry! i really feel for ya… (And continuing to pray..)
Keep strong, hold on a little longer… G-d CAN make it better and easier! We’ll figure it one day yet :-/ .. YOU CAN DO IT!! WE CAN DO IT!! WE CAN DO IT!!
Hi people! Anybody going to the shabaton for couples that meisels is doing? I just spoke to mrs meisels, she said a few older singles are also going. Any of you? dx3 what about you?
Reb-I am so sorry to hear about your a1c. Don’t worry I does not reflect your effort keep it up. Alls said I right but I just want to add that maybe you go very high after you eat before coming down.
Tralala- yes I and my wife are going and we are very excited.
dx3- yes you may be right about that too! I am actually in mid of writing an article about postprandial Bg’s for the next FWD newsletter…
It’s not fair I wanna come to the Shabbbaton!!! 🙁 (I bh dont qualify as an older single though :))
So, dx3, are we going to meet?
If I remember good, by you it’s not a secret, same here, so how will we introduce ourselves?
tralala- maybe you can sing tralalalala and walk around and then we can meet!!!!!!!!!!! :). or maybe i will wear a bright red hat with a purple shirt and pink shoes. i think i will stand out. lol
seriously i dont know. hopefully we will meet. maybe you have an idea.
alls- sorry that you can’t come. maybe soon you will (with a boy).
hey sweet maybe you can come with your chosson!
dx3- amen!!!
How many couples come to this shabbos?! What about the kids?? Whoa! Sounds so cool!! What week is it! Tralala you can email the above given email address if you want 😉 just for the fun bc most of the others have.. d’ya know how google buzz works? Like can it work for us??
Reb, how are ya doing?? Allsgr8 – what’s with the pumping?! We’re waiting together with ya! Coffee – how’s your foot and booty thingy btw?! Sweettooth – you have a welcome waiting for ya when ya do end up coming back here 😉
How’s all the ###s???? Down this end it’s so-so.. dunno why i woke up 200… is that considered hi to wake up for you? It’s going up and down… maybe just maybe d’ya think it’s possible to get that A1c down??
K everyone!!! guess what????
I GOT MY PUMP!!!! YAY!!!!
The UPS truck that I have been waiting for all day finally showed up!!! Now I have to wait to get trained in..at least I am holding a pump in my hand :))) aaahhh finally!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY ALLSGR8!!!!! im soooooooooooooooo EXCITED!!! how does it feel?
when you getting trained? is it as big as you thought it would be? are you excited???
coffee- well I saw it when the rep came so I knew what it was gonna look like. Im gonna call the trainer tomorrow iyh. Not sure when she’ll be able to come…they want to start me on insulin right away as opposed to the saline first so im excited cuz that means that when I start i really START!!! Im really excited! cant wait to not have to have these sharps containers :))) (ill stil have them i guess but they wont fill up as fast:)
Do you use the PDM to test your Blood sugars or you use a seperate meter? cuz the medical supply company that my insurance deals with sent me a seperate freestyle meter besides for the PDM? I dont know why?
i happen to have a zillion meters all over so i test on whichever is closest then when i program a bolus i enter in the number. this way i dont take thePDM upstairs when i go to sleep cuz if i need it i have one up there. but i usually enter it in
alls- hurray for you. i am so excited for this next step that you are about to start. hope you adjust to it quickly
dx3- thanks 🙂 Feels good that everyone is cheering me on!! :))
coffee- you have 2 pdm’s? How’d u get 2 of them? how does it work when you change your pod then they both connect to one pod???
no i have like 6 meters. one pdm. (well i actually DO have 2…. the old one then i upgraded to the new one so i still have the old one but its off, but its a backup incase C”V my regular one breaks….) theres a meter everywhere you look. so depending on where i am thats where i test and THEN i program into the PDM if i need to.
ur gonna love it!! if you have any questions, you know how to reach me 😉
dx3 lol!!!
Usually rav meisels gives for everybody a pin with info, and it says who’s D, so i guess, when i’ll see a father who also has 2 kids with D, I’ll know it’s you! I don’t think there are more of this!
And btw, I think I’ll be the only one from belgium!
YAY ALLSGR8, YAY, WE’RE SINGIN’ WITH DELIGHT!
Our friend and camaraderie is about to take flight!
Finally, she’s ready to set off, about to jump,
On a journey, flyin’ high (!) on the wings of the pump!
YAY ALLSGR8, YAY! WE’RE SO EXCITED FOR YOU!
May it be smooth all the way through,
We’re rooting for you! Remember we’re here!
It will be great – have no fear!
WELCOME, WELCOME.
I have 2 diabetic brothers both happily married bh, but i still wonder why is it a huge stigma in the community??
princess- THANK YOU!!! That is so sweet!!! Like I said, it feels great to have all of this support and everyone rooting for me!!!
The trainer is coming Monday iyh and were gonna start with saline. On thursday iyh ill switch over to insulin. I tried getting the doc to start me on insulin right away but she doesnt wanna take the risk…I guess ill have to be patient.
Have a great shabbos everyone!!
Hey this will be my last shabbos on injections iyh!!! YAYY!!!!
Enjoy your last shabbos allsgr8! next week will be MUCH better:)
ahh im going to the doc tomorrow! im nervous abt my A1c!! hope its good!
cofee- do you think its going to be a little higher because you have been doing less exercise?
yes i do dx3- but now as i was writing down my numbers of the past week,(so she could get a sense if how my BS are) i see they have been REALLY good BH!! highest was 209! and its been like that for a while! i hope i stay the same or even just a little higher. i dont expect to go lower than last time! im nervous!
K everyone!!! Im officially PUMPING!!!!! (with saline but it still counts right? 🙂 Its really cool, i cant wait to do it with insulin already!!
youre pumping?!?!? im so excited!! its cool no? where are you weraing it? can you see it? are you happy with your decisions? (so many questions so little time!!)
Congratulations!!!!
Dont worry or get nervous if it feels ackward or in your way, give it a few weeks to get used to…. Good Luck!!!
Hurray for you. After all that waiting it’s finaly here.
where’s sweet?! i want to hear details!!!!
my a1c today was 6.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Allsgr8 – YAY!!! It must feel so amazing as well as self-concious type!! i rem. when i just got my pump and i’m so so glad ya got it now!!!!!!!
COFEEFAN!!!!!!! KOL HAKOVED!! WELL DONE!!! YOU’VE DONE IT! I’M SO IMPRESSED / PROUD OF YA!! WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reb – if ya want to email the above address youre more than welcome!
how do you get your a1c’s so good?!!! i can’t get mine to be good! and i’m sick of trying!!!
Thanks everyone! It feels a bit weird but im getting used to it…so far no complaints bh 🙂 Will let ya all know how it goes.
cofee- Wow!!! Im so proud of you! Keep up the good work!!! 🙂
Btw Reb – only if you are comfortable to! If we start google buzz or blog we’ll tell ya too!
Cofeefan, how do you DO it????
i got myself high again.. It’s gets so dif.!!!
i dont know exactly how i did it i am jst very on top of giving the CORRECT amount of insulin. bolusing 20-30 minutes before i eat meals also helped A TON because it makes me not spike. i think its really that i got my basals right (finally…)
its all from Hashem. HE is really giving me stregnth!
dont worry allsgr8 ull get used to it quickly! and youll see how much better managing d will be!! cant wait to hear your feedback!
Yeah Allsgr8, can’t wait to hear what you say on the matter!
Cofeefan, did you say a 6.4??? Even to get much higher than that, not comparing to yours.. i can’t do this!!
cofee-hurray great for you that is amazing. i have been trying forever to get my a1c below 7. before i was on thw pump my average a1c was 6.5, but once i got the pump i am always above 7. that is because the pump knocked out most of my lows.
now i am trying to prebolus, and i have been doing exercise more often. hopfully that will help.
It’s about to go off the page 😉 .. Hey people, do you prefer to talk over blogspot then here? It’s simple enough to start if you would like!
(Are there m/any “lurkers” following this thread anyhow? Opportunity to comment!!)
Princess- I like the CR. I think we should stick to it…what does everyone else think?
Yeah sounds good allsgr8! It was just an idea 😉 Cool that the other part of the idea worked!!
Where IS everybody?!!
Allsgr8, you still saying to keep positive?? It can get so difficult at times! i can’t seem to keep up the effort anymore! guess i’m losing the motivation.. And it’s so hard to care! It really hurts to!
i guess tomorrow is a new day..
The way it’s going is good
C’mon Princess, of course im still staying positive!!! Are you kidding??! 🙂 🙂
Of course it can get difficult but we have to remind ourselves that right now this is what Hashem wants from us. He wants to see that we care about ourselves and about the body He gave to us and He will help us through it. Just show him that you are trying- but REALLY trying!! Keep davening and keep SMILING!!!
Dont give up trying becuase once you do itll be hard to gather all that motivation up again… you’re doing a lot better than you were when you first joined us over here and just that alone is great!! Keep it up and im praying for ya!!!
YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT!!! :)))))) :))))
I’m still looking for some diet products.. Do you have any suggestions…? 🙂
i dont know if this has or hasnt been adressed in prior posts but i must bring it to your attention.
someone with diabetes was driving the other day and started to feel light headed. unfortunatley this person did not take their sugar tablet quickly enough and blacked out and hit another car which was parked. Baruch Hashem there were no pedestrians involved and the driver was not hurt either. its very important that diabetics have small snacks throughout the day to keep their sugar count in a safe range.
glucerna bars and drinks are a good quick snack.
guess what guys?!?!?!?!
the boot is OFF!!! yay!!
mewho- thanks for the reminder! i keep winkies in my glove capatment and the SECOND i feel even slightly low i pull over and take care of it. driving is scary enough without diabetes… thaks for pointing that out!!
COFEEFAN!!! YAY!!!!! I’M SO SO GLAD FOR YA!!!!!!!! Kept meaning to ask you about it!!
AussieSwede, you looking low carbs or low calories??
Yeah mewho it’s sure important point.. The small snacks throughout the day though isn’t quite the answer..!
Allsgr8, your words are so good to hear!
tonight it’s one of those “just hurting” nights. My meter isn’t my friend anymore. i can’t look at the letters on the screen! It hurts so badly and it hurts too much to care!
I’ve done the past 2 nights both waking really high.. i don’t know i can do different.. .. g-d get me out of this!!
coffee- Yay!!!! I am sooo excited for you! (although my chances of spotting you now are quite slim!) How does it feel?
Everyone, I started on insulin in my pump today!! I’m totally “pumped” about it 🙂 I love it!! So convenient! no having to find corners and bathrooms to shoot in 🙂
is the pump only for Type I ?
