This was great. The one from the doctors office didn’t have enough spaces for when my husband had to check his glucose more often than mealtimes and bedtime. Thank you!

Comment on Figuring out carbs – see this example by Nana

Thanks for the insight. I have started weighing cereal, bread, ice cream, chips etc. and we have been much more stable with the amount of insulin needed to keep glucose levels fairly even.

Not that I’m impressed a lot, but this is more than I expected for when I found a link on Delicious telling that the info here is quite decent. Thanks.

Gail,
Thanks so much for the very detailed information. I found your site by mistake – well, I’m sure I was meant to find it – but I was looking for comic book scrapbooks. I love your idea to take the rubber stamp off the block. I have put wood blocks in the microwave for 10 seconds before to loosen the stamp and readjust it to make it straight, so I know that works too. I use the cd holders already for the cling stamps and for my TAC stamps which are rubber but on the foam cling. I do the same thing for the images except I stamp them on a piece of paper and then insert it in the label slot. It works great. Takes up little space and I am very limited on that where I live now. Where do I get the window cling sheets? Is it a Staples brand?

Yes, I had it on a webpage but will have to see about re-linking it somewhere else.

Hi Stacy,
The log is made for an 8.5 x 11 paper, but you should be able to enlarge on a copier or print it to a legal sheet.

Being on an insulin pump does not require you to weigh your food. We have just found that weighing the food gives the most accuracy as to the amount of carbs consumed, so taking the right amount of insulin is more accurate, with better results.

The pump has made life SO much easier for my son. Rates can be set in there to more reflect what his body does (higher in the mornings, less in the afternoon), which keeps him more even than shots did. It also gives him the freedom to eat when he wants and take a bolus for it instead of another shot.

Hi Gail,
I was looking for a new glucose log. Like yours very much but must enlarge it due to my eyesight. My son was born with type 1 diabetes in 1965. Diabetes and society have come a long way since then. I have been on insulin more than 40 years ( 5 shots a day). I am
thinking about geting an insulin pump. Would I have to go back to weighing my food again like I did so many years ago?

Comment on Unmounting Rubber Stamps project by tbird9

I am very interested in this. I am thinking about the binder as a storage system. I was thinking about this but perhaps you can answer a question. IF I
1) stamp the images on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet
2)laminate the page
3) afix the unmounted (either clear or rubber) to the laminated page
4) put the page with the stamps on it in a page protector
5) put protectors in binder

would the stamps clear or rubber be damaged in anyway? I thought I have heard that doing it this way could some how smash them into each other. I already have a binder and the protectors and of course the paper, I would just have to spend for laminating…THOUGHTS?
