By the way... I'm 108 tonight at bedtime:) I think I will skip the Lantus so I dont go to low in my sleep. Seems I took enough Humalog to cover my meal well:) Due to this.. I'll probably be high in the morning. We'll see. MeadowLark

Hey All, I went to the Dr the other day. I was told that I "am very detail oriented and need to just use the needles and not worry about it." Since I went my first time last month and got the Lantus to go along with my Humalog. I'm doing alot bett...

Absolutely. Call anybody and everybody who should know.

You might also want to take the needles to your doctor or a trusted pharmacist to get a second pair of eyes on them to see if there is in fact a problem.
Kristin replied to MeadowLark's discussion 'How closely do you "look" at your needles before taking a shot?'June 21
Wow. If you can see problems with the needles, then I think you should send it back AGAIN and ask them to inspect the box before they send you another one. This should probably be reported to someone else (govt agency) as well!

Exploring my fridge with a look for something Yummy!

I found one of those "AHA" Moments! This is what I snagged for Breakfast today :
Lowfat cottage cheese half cup, Lowfat/Fat Free Yogurt 1/4 cup and one Sugar Free Jellos Singles.
Mixed together for a cheesecake tasting bowl of Pudding? hmmm not sure what to call it. It really
does taste great and the texture is satisfying:)

ok questions about my script of Lantus

Am I looking at this correctly? Dr told me 7 units per day. I can take it at night or split it. I've decided to split it 4 at night when I spike the worst and 3 in the morning. How long should this 10ML vial last before I have to go back? ugh... I just can not come up with the co-pays! Have I already done myself in?
My numbers are looking so much better in the mornings:) If I take the full 7 units at night; I wake up sweaty wet hair in the morning.. That is why I decided to do the split. With th… Continue

Tryin Again.............

Yeah, I know; been a while again.
Always plenty on my plate; nothing new.
Stephen has been deployed for two months now. I miss him dearly. Kandahar has been a rougher assignment here at home than any of his other deployments. Maybe, because the kids are older... yet some are young and really just now beginning to ask questions that I'm used to.
I finally broke down and took the Tricare Ins... went and saw a Dr. I told him I had Humalog at home and used it occasionally. I told him I'd like some L… Continue

ok I'm hangin thin for now.

I just want to talk about my plan to survive for now. Stephen deployed yesterday. Finances are more than tight. Bills are unpaid. Siding popped from the house was noticed today. One kiddo with an earache. Boy do I miss my sweetie!
At least pay will come in and things will be a little late; still paid though:) I"m going to start testing only in the evenings. I know that mornings are always high; I'll skip testing and just take 5 units of insulin til it runs out. I'll skip testing lunch and just m… Continue

Dear Sweetie, What is this?????

OK Sweetness, you're not supposed to do this. I wake up and toodle around the house for an hour... You give me a 228? for my bloodsugar number? That is not nice. Now, I've fed the kids, washed dishes, started schoolwork for the kids and sat down to test this number again.It's been 2 1/2 hours, Sweetie. What's up besides another bad number? 213? What are you doing to me? I really dont want to take an insulin shot. I'll run out and then I won't be able to buy anymore. You need to chill out and giv… Continue

Hmm.... new breakfast ideas -- no/low carb, hot protein drinks - a friend of mine has a shake that tastes like milk. I think it's 0 carb and total organic protein. Let me see if I can get him to give me the name of it. Does it have to be 'hot'?

Thank you for the welcome. When he was diagnosed we weren't given any information. I'm having to learn everything pretty much by reading and the internet.

So right now I feel pretty lost.
