Thank u all for the advice.. No we have not had
his thyroid tested yet, but we will once a year. He
is doing well. we had a week where we had a lot of
lows. He has managed a few times to find and hide candy
in his room and that has been a challenge. We put
him on a sliding scale and it is workin very well. I
welcome all advice on anything. Thanks all,<br

Wow, have I gotten to experience a lot since
becoming diabetic when I was 11 29 years ago.<br
part of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study
in which laser treatment to prevent complications
was researched. Part of what they found out was that
the extensive laser I received could be reduced with
the same success. A bit of a pain to find out after
you have lost some vision due to the treatment but
WORTH IT since my other eye got the modified treatment
and I’m sure many of you have too. Ironically the eye
that got the modified treatment is scheduled for a

I just got approved to pick out a new insulin
pump, (I’ve had the disetronic H-tron for 4 Years) I’m

or a Disetronic (H-tron, D-tron or the new
Dahati),or the new Animus pumps please tell me about your

be greatly appreciated, including how the company
works (customer service, suplies, delivery, etc..)
Thanks very much -Lizzi

It was with interest that I read your
postings.<br
have all the right in the world to feel the way you
do.<br
have learned is that you always have two choices. You
can feel pessimistic or optimistic.<br
pestimistic? Ask yourself, what do I get out of that.
Generally you feel worse all the time and it does nothing
to improve the situation.<br
it shows with your friends,who soon will leave you
because you just are ‘NO FUN.” Remember this famous
saying:<br
YOU.<br
brings me to being optimistic. If you don’t feel like it
ACT LIKE IT. It is amazing how this trick works
