"An Absolute Gold Mine of Need-to-Know Diabetes Information"

No, we're not talking about DiabetesMine.com, although that IS what makes my blog tick, I hope.  This week, a few more

Sheri Colberg, PhD, author and professor

authorities had a look at our book, and dubbed it equally informative:

"Know Your Numbers, Outlive Your Diabetes" is an absolute gold mine of
need-to-know diabetes information and resources.  It contains the perfect
blend of basic knowledge, assessment tools, and action plans to enable
anyone with diabetes to live a long and healthy life.  Take the advice in
this book to heart!

– Sheri Colberg, PhD, Author of "The 7-Step Diabetes Fitness Plan" and "50 Secrets of the Longest Living People with Diabetes."

And from this month's Diabetes Health magazine "what to read" section:

a leading diabetes magazine

"(Know Your Numbers, Outlive Your Diabetes) cuts away the extraneous stuff and lays bare the essentials: There are five, and only five, critical numbers that you need to worry about. If you keep these five numbers where they should be, you’ll outlive your diabetes and prosper in good health. And the big five are: A1Cs; blood pressure; lipid levels (HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides); microalbumin levels; and eye exam scores...

"The authors wrote the book as a “comprehensive, hands-on guide to successfully managing your own health,” and that’s what it is. After it gets your priorities squared away, it covers just about everything you need to know, from A to Z."

Type one diabetes Information on the insulin pump? I'm writing a story about a teen with diabetes. He carries an insulin pump. Now I know a lot about diabetes itself like the fact the body cannot produce insulin and When you get a hypo you feel tired dizzy and moody and to get yourself on track you eat something thats high on carbs without covering it with insulin, but I don't know all the parts of the pump. I also need to know... Do you still prick your fingers if you have a pump, and why and how many times a day?

I have been on a pump for about 1 1/2 years. I enter a manual BG(from a finger prick) four times/day per my doctor's directions. My machine will be off by over 40 points in 4 hours. In fact, today, that happened. I prick at 6 am, 12 noon, 6 pm and at bedtime.I use the same finger for a day-moving around the fingertip. I use a different finger each day of the week-left hand one week-right hand the following week. I weigh my food and read labels meticulously. I still exceed 200 BG regularly. I exercise 30-40 minutes-5 days/week. I use 1 unit Humalog/10 gms/carbs. I have a high/low episode at least 3-4 times/week.
