Universal Healthcare, Will it work in America?

One of my recent blog posts has apparently riled up some people. In a rant of frustration out of not getting coverage for a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, again, I asked some questions in my post. For those who don't know a CGMS measures your blood glucose 24 hours a day and provides numbers every 5 minutes. It is... Read moreChevron

HACs and "manifestations of poor glycemic control"

Years ago, I was sometimes frustrated to see that hospitals made occasional medication errors involving insulin and diabetes pills, but the errors got swept under the rug. For instance, if a patient got 100 times as much insulin as they should, due to sloppy physician handwriting in the orders, or to a hospital employee mistakenly entering... Read moreChevron

Controlling Foot Ulcers

Since Joseph had a family history of diabetes, he knew the importance of checking his feet regularly for diabetic foot ulcers. But despite giving careful attention to his health, he still needed to have one of his toes amputated.   Limb salvage expert Dr. Jeffrey Niezgoda of the Center for Comprehensive Wound Care in Wisconsin was able to... Read moreChevron

Breakfast and BG levels

What goes around, comes around. Or something like that. I've never been good with popular sayings. But trends in nutrition, especially nutrition for people with diabetes, seem to go in cycles. At the beginning of the 20th century, low-carb was the dogma for people with diabetes. Then after the 1950s it slowly switched to high-carb, low-fat. Now... Read moreChevron

Egads - the eAG

Everyone who's had diabetes for a while is aware that there's some sort of relationship between their blood glucose (BG) levels and the results of their hemoglobin A1c (A1C) test. If someone's BGs are completely normal for the last three months, it's probably safe to assume that the A1C, if measured today, would be normal. But the reverse is not... Read moreChevron
