Yeah but you don't eat crabs dry  - I mean 100g of Durian isn't much

Cooked rice has around 25g / 100G, raw rice 70-75g / 100G, 100G cooked isn't enough for a meal

Yep, you get used to it 

Good on you, but as a T1 unless there's a major breakthrough I'll be stuck on needles for a long time - or I invest in a pump but that is REALLY expensive 

have u guys heard about quinoa?its a good food to replace rice,a lot of protein as well,try googling it

First full day (well nearly, in 1 hour) of using CGMS - and it's proving to be useful.

Not missed a single measurement (12 per hour) and plots them all on a graph on the device / syncs to PC when connected

Woke me up beeping at 9AM this morning as BG was high (11.1 ) - it seems from looking at the graph my basal insulin drops me too low first which makes me have to top up before sleep ... then keeps rising from around 5-6 AM or so

Time for changing that - main reason I got this

Other than waking up with a high (>10) BG today has been good.



I believe my morning rise is due to Dawn Phenomenon, or Levemir running out? Either way frustrating

It looks high as of end of the graph but I just ate then (9:10) so hasn't come down yet - should resolve itself by 11PM-Midnight

It can. I have a personal sharing. My father got into an accident last year with broken leg bone and diabetes complication with blood glucose reading of 20.9. His surgery wound is able to heal within 1 month.

4 months later, his blood glucose level is able to be reversed to healthy level of 5.6 and no longer need to take diabetic medication and insulin shot 

Probably you can enlighten us your definition of borderline? 
My father is a confirmed diabetic prior to the accident. Just out of curiosity, do you know how insulin or diabetic medication actually works to lower blood glucose? 

Stimix, which type are you? 

can read through all the pages. I wrote before ehe

i prefer to live longer healthy than have my fingers/toes/kaki/tangan amputated or worst be like my late mom have to go for dialysis every 3 times in a week.

my not normal eating last time was plate ful of rice, chicken egg less vege and another protein fish or meat. drink sweet stuff like plain water four times daily and no exercise at all.

Kinda weird since Government hospital has been using Novo Nordisk Insulin since 90's

Insuman and Insulatard/Atrapid should be on par since both have the Isophane ingredient making them human insulin which is cheaper i guess than analogue insulin.

Lantus is analogue insulin which is more expensive(?) and on par with Novo nordisk Novorapid, Levemir and government hospital don't carry them. I guess we can only get cheap insulin at government hospital.
