I peeked into this today and realized how horrible we are as diabetics and our actions or inactions can be very destructive to us. It is interesting that we were so willing to share it too. Guess this is time to mend our evil ways. Seriously, we can really hurt ourselves. Sally

Worst habbits? hmmm... how about.. Taking shots of novolog thru my pants into the thigh, guessing how much insulin to take (too lazy to test BS and taking insulin anyways), smoking weed then eating ~200 grams of carbs in one sitting, forgetting to have candy on hand for when I have a low (or eating the candy just because I'm hungry and there is no other food arround). Yeah thats about it.

My worst diabetes habit since being on the pump has been using the manual dosing. Sometimes, I just don't feel like testing. So.....I say I think I feel ok.....no insuling. I feel kind of sick....let's take a flat amount. No rhyme or reason to it. Just a flat amount and usually ends up being too much. Then, I can't understand why my body feels like I am on a roller coaster all the time. DUH!

When I did shots I never took short acting insulin to cover a snack or correct a blood sugar below 200. Now with a pump my biggest confession would be that I'm lazy about changing my pump infusion site. I usually let the pump run down to zero units, but then at that point it's often not convenient to change it. So it may be a few hours until I'm back on insulin. And I've definitely done the middle of the night... I feel high but am too tired to test/bolus and then rolled over and went back to sleep. =)

I hiope your email was directed to all diabetics. I do self destructive things. The one that I haven't been consistent with is using my humulog before I eat when the number seems so well before. Of course it goes up because of it. Just think I am somehow in denial that I need those before meals shots. I don't know why I am rebelling. Injections really don't hurt and it only takes a minute or two to fill my syringe. You do have my sympathy about your insominia. My mate very rarely gets a real night sleep. I often wake up several times during the night. Sally

OK let's get reeeeal honest!
This isnt a question for you Diabetes poster boys
Take off your "I'm the new spokesperson for novo nordisk" mask
What is your worst diabetes habit?
What?! you dont use an alcohol swab EVERY time you prick your finger?! OH COME ON!!! you gotta do better than that!!!!
Mine?
I've wrestled with insomnia for as long as I can remember.
Sometimes I KNOW I'm fall on my face sleepy because my blood sugar's high, usually around the 180 mark, maybe a lil higher.. but instead of correcting I go to bed and enjoy that insanely deep sleep that comes from a sugar bogged brain.
NO GUILT TRIPPING ANYONE ON THIS ONE!!! we're all human, we all ocassionaly do things we know range from not good to just plain stupid. Only when we are open and honest with our own weakness can we ever hope to trully care about others.
