Discussion of diabetes management in day to day life

after meal testing: last bite of main meal or desert?

I’ve read that the meal "starts" with the 1st bite BUT haven’t seen
anything about the time AFTER the "meal".

Does the time af testing after the meal start after the "main meal"
or after the desert and/or after the coffee or tea after the desert?

My reason for asking is that I was watching the Olympics & my dese
was about 1/2 hour after the "meal" so that my after meal testing
could be 1/2 hour too soon.  Noticed 1 time that my desert ended
about 1 hour after the "main meal".

I probably should wait 2 hrs after the main meal & not be so picky???

Let them yell

I have survived in this world and am near 80.   I have dealt
with all types.  Lets face it. some perform and some yell.

Adults state their case and let others alone.

We accept a diversity of opinions.  Why I reply to
some of the off beat people at times.

The goal here for adults to present facts and opinions.
Then the collective knowledge will help all.

Adults know their weaknesses  and limitations.

Children find out that crying get results initially
but not for long.

These groups real intent is not to serve children.
If one is thin skinned they can find a biased forum
where they can praise each other.

Studies

Studies are accepted too readily here.

Each study must be scrutinized for validity
and motives.

The if one uses studies, they need to go to
the trouble to read all they can find on the subject.

Any article funded by a person/firm that will profit
from it  are to be questioned.

The Vioxx trial had testimony about the training
of sales reps that was significient.

For a short tme, I worked for a fellow that added to his income
by writing biased articles.

There is now a lot of noise about many drugs that may emerge as a
sorry picture.   Usually the result of this is a reaction that many
good drugs  cannot get approved while people die.

Artifical Pancreas

The Early Show as a feature on a prototype of an artificial
pancreas.  It is the same idea some have proposed here.

They now have a prototype on a female doc.  They say
it may be common in five or ten years.

The person interviewed said it is for type 1 but there is no reason it
would not work for  type 2.

It provides continuous reading and computes the dose.
