You're right Tootie, you keep on doing anything you feel like doing,

you've earned it.

I just don't feel like doing much

I hope that's just the winter doldrums.. But then, do you get winter in

Oh yes, I continue to amaze myself at how much trouble I can get in.

Take care.

I envision Gabe specializing in diabetes and training others in the

techniques he is learning about. He would have so much insight and be so

convincing I think that would be wonderful.

n,

I'm sure you've told us in the past, but could you restate what brought

on his type I if there was anything recognizable other than juvenile

onset? Infection?

Hello Vicki

I made about 100 index cards today. Each has one food item, serving size,

amount of CHO, amount of PRO, glycemic index for the CHO and conversion for the

PRO (.6 for most protein, .48 for milk protein).

Gabe picked out his lunch and dinner and calculated the total grams glucose from

carb, protein and total of all. He then used the dosing coefficient Ron set up

for each meal (lunch is 9.7 and dinner 7.1)to calculate a dose. Finally he

converted the dinner number from H insulin to R insulin by multiplying the dose

times 45 and dividing by 40 (because R is a little less effective than H). He

uses R at dinner because it is slower and his digestion, as you know, is slow at

dinner.

I hope there will be a cure before he really has to do it on his own. Meanwhile

it is a big help for me if he has the meal planned and calculated before I reach

the kitchen.

Gabe is small; age 11.5 and only 65 pounds and short. But that runs on my

husband's side of the family. He does not appear scrawny, but quite

muscular, although short.

He is very cute, sweet, adorable, lovely and smart, if I do say so myself.

That comes from my side of the family.

..........And the modesty, too?

Has Dr B given you any guidelines to follow as Gabe grows and matures? How

will that affect his ratios?

No guidelines. Any suggestions? If I grab the time I will send you an

E-mail on the subject.

What are you responding to, n? A small snip of prior post would be
