I bookmarked it. I am glad you posted that link, Amy. Thanks. That’s a nice link for the details of a lipid profile, and how to interpret the results. I bookmarked it.

I have had diabetes for 43 years and I am doing just fine since I was originally educated at Joslin in Boston. We were taught that we MUST take responsibility for our own care. I have never had a CDE who was diabetic. Such a person must really understand that often different diabetics react differently. I am happy for you. Don't lose her!

Oh, and good luck with bringing that A1C down a notch. I know you can do it, Amy! You know why? Because you rock! CDEs with diabetes kick butt.

Whether it's demonstrated knowledge and compassion, or living the life they describe, or a little bit of both. It makes such a difference. I remember seeing this one endo, and you could totally tell that thinking diabetes was his day job. Sure, he was smart enough, but I always left the appointments thinking to myself - "What the f*ck does he know about living with it!". It was very aggravating.

Mine buzzes me 2 hours after meals so I actually remember to check and do the correction. (2 hours seems to work best for me -- 1 hour caused crashes, but as always YMMV). Also, the pump calculates the IOB and so I don't over correct. Another reason to get a pump.

Have you tried Five Star Bars? Fan-freaking-tastic things, come in all sorts of lovely flavours. They're made by Lake Champlain Chocolates, in VT, and they are gorgeous. They also make large, plain (and flavoured) bars. Their dark chocolate is very good. Yet another reason to buy good chocolate (like I need one). Have you tried Five Star Bars?
