Hi Florence, I had this done last year and I agree with the other posts-the thought is worse than the reality. It felt like trying to swallow a pill without water, strange but easy enough. I was able to eat and drink after but I agree that you are likely to go high due to the thought of it

RE: [IPk] Camera down throat

Tue, 15 May 2012 15:36:17 +0000

Florence, I have had this procedure done. It is very straight forward indeed. The consultant sprays your throat 30 secs or so before inserting a funnel type thing to keep your jaws apart and guide the camera through. You will be able to eat straight away if you like

Depending on when you get the spikes, you may alternatively need to try bolusing later or doing a square wave. I was getting post-lunch spikes about 3-4 hours after lunch until I tried this, works like a charm

Re: [IPk] Re High BGS

Tue, 15 May 2012 16:07:54 +0100

Hi Rosie For the post-meal spikes, have you tried bolusing earlier? Ideally 20 mins before a meal, but if that hampers you spontaneity, try 1 or 2 units (depending on how high carb the meal is likely to be) about half an hour prior to your meal, then take the rest of the meal bolus at your usual time

Hi Vic Do you ever reduce your basal rate after you treat a hypo? Might be worth trying a reduced temporary basal. I do -20% (20% less than normal) for 2 hours after most hypos. Melissa On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 3:49 PM, victor kaye <email @ redacted

Hi Florence I had this done a few years ago now (when I was on MDI) and as has already been said, it's not as bad as you think. There is a millisecond as it passes the back of your throat that isn't very pleasant but it really doesn't take too long. I can't remember not being able to drink

Hi Melissa I completely agree - as I said, I wasn't talking about the case when you're already in full blown DKA and require hospital admission, or people for whom a couple of hours with high BG can turn into full-blown DKA. For them, as your articles show, early diagnosis of ketones is key

Re: [IPk] Freestyle Navigator

Hi all Like when a GP cuts the number of bg test strips you get on prescription, a letter from your consultant often sorts out access to blood ketone test strips. Anyone had success that way or just me

I was always told that aerobic exercise would raise BG and anaerobic would lower it. This is a gross simplification but on the whole I found it to be true, in that gardening, shopping and golf will cause it to drop like a stone whereas going to the gym used to cause it to rise

Mon, 14 May 2012 12:54:30 +0100

Indeed - I've been thinking about that a lot recently. Oddly, your findings don't seem to correlate with my own as almost any kind of exercise drops my BG even when I'm pretty sure I'm in the fat burning zone (e.g. slow walking)

Very interesting, thanks! This sounds as if the final sprint section in my spin class could be responsible for a post-exercise BG rise which I typically get. It also sounds as if it only works in some very specific situations, not as a general rule....

Hi Paul, I think you may be confusing ketosis and DKA as you seem to be using the terms interchangeably. Ketosis is simply a body burning fat for fuel and the ketones are a byproduct of this

Was Dr Bernstein: Melissa Am I correct in thinking that ketosis is a normal phyiological 'metabolic' process but ketoacidosis (dka) is a pathological condition usually associated with type 1 diabetes and occassionally type 2 (although I believe HONK is more common in type 2 than dka)

I look forward to meeting you all, though given my current state of fitness, I may be a bit preoccupied with survival... Steve On 10 May 2012 22:26, Barbara Watson <email @ redacted> wrote:

Hi Jan Don't be nervous. I don't know anybody either. I am sure we will all be fine within a few minutes of getting into the lounge to meet and greet. Who are you going to be in the Talent Show? Only joking. Looking forward to meeting you

[IPk] OmniPods, bruising and lipoatrophy

Thu, 10 May 2012 18:54:35 +0100

Hi all I'm asking on behalf of someone who has contacted INPUT, and isn't a forum user. Has anyone experienced bad bruising or lipoatrophy when using an OmniPod? If so, has anything helped? The enquirer has spoken to their team and to Ypsomed. Thanks in anticipation

Hello IPer's, So far the Spring pledge drive has raised $815 toward our goal of $5,000 for the spring quarter. Let's put that in perspective. If each of the members reading this now message would contribute 2 pennies a day on an annual basis, it would raise almost double that amount

Hi Iain I'm sure people will just cluster around you, given the opportunity! I'm sorry I won't be able to make it. My husband organised a birthday party for his brother. I care about meeting my brother-in-laws old friends from school and uni about thismuch but I have to go

Hi Wendy Just a note: for most people, there's not a lot to worry about if you have some ketones in your urine or blood but you're not in DKA
