Another attempt of putting an end to my never ending Test Strip Trail~

My first attempt resulted in a what I called "Test Strip Bottle Art," and what some others called crazy.

This attempt is more minimalist in nature.

So how do you keep your "Test Strip Trail" in check, or do you?
What's worked & hasn't worked for you in this area ?

Violence and Pharma Drugs - an apology

Violence and Pharma Drugs - an apology
I have to apologise. I recently published a blog that linked certain Big Pharma drugs with violence. I am sad to say that I grossly under-estimated the enormity of the problem. I have recently stumbled upon this website, which you really must look at:

http://www.ssristories.com/index.php

The voluminous evidence contained within this webpage clearly shows the full enormity of the problem of pharmaceutical drug taking, and the awful and unacceptable amount of violence, self-mutilation, and suicide that it causes.

Antidepressant drugs are clearly an unacceptable threat to human civilisation

Just how dangerous are pharmaceutical drugs?

Just how dangerous are pharmaceutical drugs?
Routinely modern conventional pharmaceutical drugs do harm to patients through their side-effects and adverse reactions?

Even more routinely, such evidence is ignored by the mainstream media, the NHS and the Government.

So just how dangerous are ConMed drugs? Have a look at these websites.

Craptacular, Craptacular: The Meat Monster Edition - RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!

From the official Burger King "Meat Monster" Press Release.
Currently, only available in Japan. Hence the reason it's written in Japanese~


Ahhh, Craptacualar, Craptacular! THE MEAT MONSTER! Brought to you by the Epicurean minds of Burger King!

SO I was reading the Huffington Post, when an article about something called,THE MEAT MONSTER caught my eye. No, it wasn't the name of a porn movie,it was the name of a the latest burger from Burger King.

Th "Meat Monster" costs close to ten dollars and is loaded with two beef patties, lots of bacon, and a chicken breast. That's right ladies & gentlemen, here's a way to grease up your arteries, clog up your intestines, and screw up your blood sugar but good!

And according to the those in "the know" at The Consumerist, "The Meat Monster" contains "1160 calories, 24g of saturated fat, 240mg of cholesterol, 13g of sugar, 54g carbs, 69g of fat, 1.5g of trans fat, and 2290mg sodium."

My stomach is having sympathy cramps just thinking about it!

So as a PWD, of course I thought: How the hell would you bolus for that? Not that I ever would, but I was still really curious!

So I wrote to my friend Gary Scheiner, CDE Extraordinaire & Mr. Type 1 University himself:

Hey Gar -

HOW GOES IT???

So, do you feel like answering a diabetes riddle that will be read by masses? Or at least by a few friends?

if the answer is YES, then my question to you is: How exactly would one bolus for Burger King's New MEAT MONSTER burger?

Here's the nutritional breakdown before you click on the link to the beast!

1160 calories, 24g of saturated fat, 240mg of cholesterol, 13g of sugar, 54g carbs, 69g of fat, 1.5g of trans fat, and 2290mg sodium.

Here's the link to the beast of a burger!

And here's his answer!

Ohhhhhh Baby! Sounds like a Homer Simpson creation.

Must admit, I have eaten stuff like this from time to time. The giant bucket of movie theater popcorn packs a similar punch. Here's what I'd recommend to control the blood sugar after the BK Behemoth :

1. Base the bolus on the full 54g carb. I doubt this thing has any fiber.

2. Deliver the bolus over time. All that fat will undoubtedly slow down digestion. If you have a pump, deliver the first 1/3 of the bolus immediately, and the remaining 2/3 over a 2 hour period. If you take shots, either use Regular (R) insulin or split the meal dose into two parts: half with the meal and the other half 90 minutes later.

3. It ain't over yet! All that fat is going to send triglycerides soaring, which will cause the liver to become insulin resistant, which will send BG up gradually for hoursafter the carbs are done doing their thing. Pump users can set a temp basal increase of 50-80% for approximately 8-10 hours; injectors can take some extra NPH insulin after the meal.

Now kick back and enjoy - Because this meal might just be your last.

And now you know!

FYI: Currently, said Meat Monster is only available at Burger Kings in Japan. Fries, tums, stomach pump and a plunger for your toilet are not included with purchase of said "Meat Monster.

OH, one more thing: RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

Kraken, Crackin, cracked ass, whatever - No good can come of this~
