BG logging is so much more fun when you turn it into art ;) And that, my dears, is a much more fun way of looking at blood sugars ;) I much prefer dinosaurs to mountains, don't you?

Howdy - I'm M, nice to meet you :)
Here's me in a nutshell: Kiwi, mother, cat lover, writer, reader, thinker, (geek?). I have type 1 diabetes (but never say I 'suffer' from it!) and I rely on insulin injections (and chocolate! *ahem*) to keep my body ticking along nicely.

Kiwi-isms & diabetes abbreviations - There may be some things I say that need translation...
BG = Blood Glucose. Generally 'Blood Sugar' isn't abbreviated as BS stands for something else.. *ahem*
Biscuits = Cookies
Blood glucose measurements - I use mmol, for American (mg/dl) numbers mulitply by 18
Novorapid = Novolog
Protophane = NPH
tyre = tire, the words colour and favourite have a letter 'u' in them, and a few other words that you may think I'm spelling wrong... I'm not, I'm spelling Kiwi :)
This many people have been in for a read since April '07:
Calculator
This cool toy found on Poodwaddle.com Thought this could be handy for sorting out mmol vs mg/dl. (To convert, multiply mmol by 18, or divide mg/dl by 18)
