I have piles of them in the walk-in closet.<br /><br />I never reuse insulin needles, but those lancets...well, damn...after you use one 20-30 times, you've formed a bond, a relationship -- breaking up is hard to do!<br /><br />Besides, nothing like a dull lancet to remind you that at least the neuropathy isn't so bad that you can't feel your fingertips anymore...and that's definitely something to be grateful for! ;pBunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233370496481697638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-88217555726200084492010-11-22T14:23:05.742-05:002010-11-22T14:23:05.742-05:00Yup, Mexican food is the hardest for me - harder t...Yup, Mexican food is the hardest for me - harder than pizza or Chinese or french fries. I always use the temp basal. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But like you said, we're trying and that is what counts.

The key was in reducing the amount of carb. I skip the tortillas, enchilada and tacos and eat the meat, beans, and rice. With the rice, I have one serving (1 cup cooked) and no more. This limits my carb intake to less than 60g and I never have a problem.Khürt L Williamshttp://about.me/khurtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-34042954464775203942010-11-21T11:59:35.705-05:002010-11-21T11:59:35.705-05:00You mean you would actually change your lancet?

That's our motto girlfriend - whether at Randazzle's (wink wink) or a Mexican place - we will find a way to make it work. You can only try it and see what happens - then it informs you for the next time you eat it or go there.<br />Darn right that we went out to eat as a family tonight and G shared a mousse dessert with Daddy as a treat. I bolus-guessed a 30 on it and did a temp basal of +30% for 2 hours.<br />Damn mousse. Damn straight she ate it.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-25680463445210036892010-11-20T17:20:33.204-05:002010-11-20T17:20:33.204-05:00I don't know if you're a drinker at all or...I don't know if you're a drinker at all or not, but I have found that when I eat the crazy to figure out foods like Chinese, Mexican, and pizza - if I have a plain margarita or 1-2 beers with the meal, it tends to help prevent or completely prevent the spike later on... I guess something about the alcohol keeping the liver busy so the liver can't put out the glucose later on causing the spike... I don't know the physiology of it, but I do know that for me, it works every time!Triciahttp://www.addictedtoinsulin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-1947823572660203602010-11-20T16:30:16.553-05:002010-11-20T16:30:16.553-05:00We have this great Mexican restaurant across the b...We have this great Mexican restaurant across the border (Plattsburgh, NY) - and I'm like you - with chips/salsa (it's sooo good) - even better the green drinky poos - you know with lime salt on them - slurp, slurp. I just do a combo bolus with my pump (or with MDI-either way works) - and then just test abit more to keep my BG's level. Main thing is to enjoy yourself - dance around the Mexican hat - do NOT grab the bull by the horns (very sharp). It's not like we eat Mexican food every day!<br />If you do have rice - try to have one with beans (e.g. black are my fav) - find the combo with rice tends to help not make me spike up. I don't toot so badly the next day as well (have been known to do tunes). \\^^//FatCatAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066683693099915727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-20067334212504056182010-11-20T16:27:58.889-05:002010-11-20T16:27:58.889-05:00Enjoy your meal!
