Moving to Diabetes Daily!
"Ding ding. This blog terminates here. All change please." I'm very excited to announce that I've been invited to join the featured bloggers over at Diabetes Daily. Diabetes Daily, thanks to the hard work of David and Elizabeth Edelman, has grown in to an awesome resource, and large and vibrant community of people who have at least one thing in common: an interest in diabetes. Sharing and support amongst the people who understand has always been a primary motive for me as a blogger, so I couldn't refuse the offer to join in. And I'm very honoured to be joining...Changing How A1c Values Are Reported
I'm the kind of person who usually embraces change. But only when that change is clearly beneficial or positive in some way., rather than just the pointless act of change for change's sake. My initial reaction to the news that A1c values in the UK will no longer be reported as percentage values is "why?", and I'm struggling to identify a positive reason for the move. The new unit of measurement will be millimoles per mole, or mmol/mol, rather than existing percentage measures. A current result of 6% will equate to 42mmol/mol, 6.5% to 48mmol/mol and 7% to 53mmol/mol. The...Arctic Adventure
Q. How do you go to the toilet in an outdoor long-drop in the arctic? A. Quickly! Q. How do you go to the toilet outdoors in the arctic when there is no toilet? A. Even more quickly! I know this, because last week I, and my diabetes, took on one of our toughest challenges yet spending a week dog sledding and cross country skiing across the arctic wilderness. I experienced both the above situations, but I had the time of my life. It was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most amazing things I've ever done....How My Pump Ended Up in the Trash
Wearing an insulin pump, with or without CGM, can be challenging to even the best person's patience. Between incessant alarms, strange bulges under clothing, tubing that pops out at the most inopportune moments, especially when there is a door handle in the vicinity, itchy infusion set adhesive and the pain in the morning after a night of the pump under my back, I'm no exception. Sometimes this device really gets on my nerves. But it's fairly easy to tolerate a long list of annoyances when the device in question at the same time makes life so much better. The control...Britain's "Diabetes Epidemic" in the News...
The UK news has been full of figures released today by Diabetes UK stating that one person is diagnosed with diabetes every three minutes in Britain. Last year 150,000 people were diagnosed with the condition, up from 100,000 the year before. I may be just a little bit cynical, but I can't help but think that the 50% jump in diagnosis rates, which reports acknowledge is mainly made up of people with Type 2, has a large part to owe to performance related pay for General Practitioners. GP's pay is topped up if they meet a number of different government...Caro's Page
Latest Activity
I'm 8.7mmol/l or 156 mg/dL Not too shabby considering I finished dinner (in the UK) about 20 minutes ago!
Erm... 11pm GMT, as in the original post, will be 2 hours too late!
4pm Eastern Daylight Time (which is 3pm Eastern Standard Time) = 9pm British Summer Time (which is 8pm GMT/UTC)
Sorry to be pedantic! I will be testing at 9pm BST though!
