I wrote to Fourcats:
>>>>We often *don’t care* because it’s a losing battle! We aren’t going to win
anyway. Dr. will say *try harder* w/o giving us tools and working WITH us. It
boils down to an insulin/carb ratio. A non-DMer eats something and the
pancreas takes care of it. A DMer eats something and must inject/infuse the
proper amount to take care of it. >>>
What we need here, is for the Dr/CDE to give us the knowledge of what works -
trial and error. Not blame or accusations of *You can do better/try harder.*
The ones saying that are often not DMers themselves. IF they are, then
something worked for them and we need to know what/how. Since our bodies are
malfunctioning, it isn’t something that *just caught on.* Somehow, some way,
something worked. With the tools we have today: Humalog, home BGs, ketone
tests, pumps, we can finally achieve - with help/education - a more normal
range of BGs.
Please keep us updated on how your dh is doing.
