Re: C-peptide test --Darren

[Guest guest]

Thanks Darren, that is very interesting. I did not know there was a

test other then the A1c to determine how ones insulin and diabetes

was being controlled. I see my new endocrine doc again next week

and I will have to bring it up.

Do you use your computer to keep a record of your daily BS? I found

the web page for my accucheck and there is a cable that connects the

two but I couldn't bring it up to order it or find out where to get

one.

I finally spoke with the diabetic doc from the ICT team in Cinci

last night. The want me to drop my nightly lantus to 5 units at bed

time and my novolog doses to 2 units with meals. They also want me

to check my sugar 10-12 times a day. I was ready to drop all

insulin because I was so scared of hypo'ing again. He said he felt

very confident that the islets are beginning to function and he will

call me again later this week. It is a bit soon for them, but what

the heck!!

Thanks for all your help and support. It really means a lot. How

long did it take you to feel like " yourself " again. Or do you still

feel out of sorts. I still have some RUQ pain, but it is nothing

like the panc pain at all. Just sort of achey, I also still have

problems with nausea and threw up the other day; but its only after

eating. Maybe I just ate too much.

Thanks again and keep in touch.
