    Hi there!
    lost_cosmos directed me here after the other diabetes community was an utter failure for me(no, I won't go into detail :D ). ( Just saying hi and introducing myself )

    Hi
    Just wanted to say this sounds like a pretty cool community. It's nice to check out what other ppl have on their lists, discover their inner desires.

    Lots of you want to do something photography wise too. Cool.

    Anyway, I'll make my list some time.

    Needing less insulin
    Hello everyone, my boyfriend is a type 1 and has noticed something happening lately, I just wanted to see if anyone had something similar happen to them.

    He's been diagnosed 3 years ago and is currently on 3 shots of Novo Rapid and 1 of Lantus per day. His A1C and everything else has always been good, so that said...

    Lately (for the past month or so?) he's been needing a lot less insulin than usual. He doesn't do formal-formal carb counting but he knows pretty well with predetermined meals what his dose should be, but lately he's been going low really easily. It's like his body suddenly started needing less insulin, and/or became more sensitive. He told me, he used to have an approximate ratio of 5g of carbs per unit and now he does more like 7g of carbs per unit and still has lows after eating.

    The only thing that has changed that I can see is that he has built up some muscles over the past 4-5 months since he started being more active. I heard stuff like if you lose weight, your body regains insulin sensitivity (although he didn't lose anything, just gained muscles)... or is that just affecting type 2s?

    He sees his endo twice a year but his next appointement is still far off so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks!!

    After being told I have pleurisy today (and already having had collected Hashimoto's Syndrome and Reynaud's Phenomenon), I wondered what other medical problems you folks deal with in addition to type 1 diabetes?

    Soooo, here I am again with another life list. It's been like, 9 days since my last update and yet, it feels like eternity. If you scroll down a little bit you'll find my list back and notice I've accomplished another goal in my life! Isn't that exciting? I think it's number 15 or something, anyways, the goal is: make a list of 100 things that make me happy. If you are interested in reading it, you can find that list in the LJ-cut below(after the list of goals). You know, you may think that making a list of things that make you happy might be easy, but it isn't! Surprisely enough...
    OKAY, enough of this endless rembling and on with the list!

    31. Convince my parents that my cat won't eat the parakeet that I'll own... someday.

    unexpected complication.
    I took a lovely nap this evening while my foster kittens were running around the house, and woke to find that one of the kittens has chewed through my infusion set line. Grr.

    Must remember to tuck in line while kittens are loose ...

    I just posted here and I already crossed another thing off my list yay! Today I went and got a tattoo that meant something to me. It was my very first tattoo and scared does not even begin to describe what I was feeling haha. I got a semicolon behind my right ear to keep me focused on my want to become an elementary school teacher. It also represents my love of reading.

    Insurance
    Hi Everyone!

    I'm 19 years old and am hoping to get married sometime within the year, the problem is I will no longer be on my parents insurance after I am married.

    My question is for those who are in a situation like mine, or know how to help someone in a situation like mine. Do you guys know of any programs that will help low income students get insurance, that's decent enough to help not make staying alive so ridiculously expensive?

    I don't know if I'd be able to go to school full time and work full time which is why I wont be able to get insurance just for myself just yet.

    Thanks!

    Hello! I've been watching this community for almost 2 months and decided to post now before everyone starts posting once the community is in the spotlight. My name is Jamie and I am 18 so hopefully I will have plenty of time to accomplish everything. I am going to start my second year of college soon where I am studying to be an elementary school teacher.

    I put together my list a month ago and so far I have accomplished two things which I think is pretty good.

    A big thanks to whoever nominated the community for LJ Spotlight!

    We'll be featured very soon, and I'm looking forward to the influx of activity that will come from it.

    I'm sorry to say that I've personally slacked off a bit on my list as of late. Life sometimes gets in the way of...well, life. I'm hoping to jump back on my goals soon!

    meds question
    Hello fellow whores...:)

    My name is Amanda, 26 years old, and recently re-re-re diagnosed as Type 1.5 or LADA, whatever they are calling it these days. 6 years ago, I was diagnosed as type 2(by a fucking idiot NP) and i was put on various oral diabetes meds( Actos, Avandia, Glucophage, Starlix) and sid Lantus and I continued to have constant uti's, and lost a ton of weight. Drs kept telling me it was my fault that my bg's were in the 400-500's and that I must be eating too much (grrr)
    Then last year I finally saw an Endocrinologist, who said I was of course a type one(I was ketotic and well yeah DUH) and I have been on Humalog and Levemir ever since. NOWWW I have been re-diagnosed in the last 3 weeks by an internal medicine Dr as actually being LADA,since I had normal c-peptides at presentation 6 years ago and now have no insulin production at all AND have antibodies charateristic of LADA and type one, but not type 2...
    Anyway, My renal panel is normal, my trigylcerides and cholesterol are normal and my blood pressure is normal, BUT my newest dr wants me to start on a high blood pressure medication Lisonopril? to protect my kidneys? Is any one else familiar with this concept? It just doesnt make any sense to me to be on an antihypertensive drug with normal blood pressure?

    First list... yet
    So, I finally found a community for "things to do before you die". I wish I could list all of them now but it's just too much so I think I will list the rest for the upcoming posts. Here it is; obviously, things that are striked and written in bold, are the goals I've already accomplished. Things with a * at the end of the sentence, and are the size x-small, are things I want to do again.


    1. Fall in real love: ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't live without each other love.
    2. Create a perfect soundtrack to my life.
    3. To live, instead of exist.
    4. Watch all Scrubs episodes.
    5. Learn Japanese.

    7. Regain my flexibility.
    8. Go on a road trip, without destination nor permission.
