Sad to hear mate – sometimes I'm happy I'm t1 myself, not t2.
I worked a research project back at the uni, where we set up an analysis tool for diabetics. The amount of data was a sore lack for researchers. You can hook up w/ roche et al, they have the data but it's kinda locked up.
Lemme know how you come along with the visualization and concept! @fdebong or fd at mysugr dot com.
So much in this disease is a question of behavior – measure enough, note changes, learn, adapt, adjust, measure, estimate. Rinse and repeat.
Testing is vital.
Behavior and a willingness/ability to learn/adapt is vital.
25% of us are clinically depressed. Lugging this thing around in the back of your mind, all the time, is taxing.
Through the years the therapy for diabetes mellitus type 1 has become more and more data driven. You work with algorithms and calculate what you do. You replace the sensor/reaction function of your busted pancreas (this is type 1 here, not t2) by calculating and measuring.
I've been diabetic myself since 27 years and have suffered from most crap you can think of. Including three years of diabetic burnout.
We will do our best to help.
Thanks for your comment!
OT: Just realized today, that my son is now as old as I was as I was diagnosed. Immense respect for what you have to deal with peterb.
Simple and great, no admin crap, no maintenance, less overhead.
Works.
