I have kids, and therefore haven't had any free time in a long, long time.<BR/><BR/>Cherish it while you can.<BR/><BR/>Funny thing is, now when I get little pockets of free time, I feel weird, miss my kids, and wonder what the heck I used to do with myself before they were around!Scott K.

I just wait for 10 a.m. or 10 p.m. to roll around and I just plug myself in for awhile. I am GENIUS!<BR/><BR/>Mel: It was ridiculously funny. I haven't laughed so hard at movie in a long time. My dad actually recommend it, if you can believe that!<BR/><BR/>Scott: Yeah, 18 hours sounds about right. Maybe a little longer like 20 or 21... but then zippo!<BR/><BR/>Carol: I know in about six months I'm going to be kicking myself for writing this post! I really need to live it up while I can. Oh, and you're welcome!<BR/><BR/>Kevin: I only use the insulin for boluses, and my basal rate is .2 u/hr, so priming it .5 u 3-4 times a day isn't that much insulin. My resevoir is lasting much longer now! <BR/><BR/>Amy: Honestly, I don't know what I would do without you. ;-)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845901120926051578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-18565085013822573732007-05-09T15:33:00.000-07:002007-05-09T15:33:00.000-07:00Well, at least you've got plenty of time for blogg...Well, at least you've got plenty of time for blogging, which makes us happy...<BR/><BR/>And plenty of time to diddle with your dosing -- before you get slammed at your new job and forget all about glucose control for a while. <BR/><BR/>Aren't I helpful? ;)AmyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435087061665819656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-7481323873080334852007-05-09T09:27:00.000-07:002007-05-09T09:27:00.000-07:00I find that I need to prime almost any time I disc...I find that I need to prime almost any time I disconnect from my pump. Problem is, I'm not always so good at remembering to do so. <BR/><BR/>But I've been shocked at how much dribbles out of the tubing from just wrapping it around the pump before I shower. I've had times where a full 0.4u is delivered before any insulin comes out. That's a full hour's worth of insulin!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896184498657223994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-24124941953359164352007-05-09T06:45:00.000-07:002007-05-09T06:45:00.000-07:00re: Lantus, sounds like you are on the right track...re: Lantus, sounds like you are on the right track. When I was using it, I had the same issue and suggested to my endoc that we split the dose. He was skeptical, but it worked.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can enjoy the time off, but understand your desire to get on with the next phase of life. But it's funny because I'm currently on a "sabbatical" and am absolutely reveling in devoting my time to things other than work. I'm also probably about 20 years older than you and felt the same way as you right out of college.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all you do for the OC!

Isn't it strange they are allowed to promote that it does last that long when their patent applications suggest it lasts maybe 18 hours?Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-42597619193574766752007-05-09T05:34:00.000-07:002007-05-09T05:34:00.000-07:00Hot Fuzz was really really funny, no?
