The reason it is not "done right" is because it is really hard to do right with the existing tools. Diabetes is a bitch. 5+ blood samples a day, 4+ insulin injections per day, every day. You can't ever miss one. Hungover? Too bad. Sick? Double the tests. If you miss one you either pass out (low) or feel like crap (high). Anything that can help with the regimen is appreciated. I'm looking forward to what they have to say.
My son is diabetic.
- wccrawford 15y agoNo, I knew that... That's why I said 'suffer from diabetes'. I meant it literally. What I meant was that their site claims to solve something, but not how or what. It looks like snake oil right now.
- Fdebong 15y agoThanks! Important to know! We won't sell snake oil nor camel milk ;)
- Fdebong 15y agoWe'll do our best peterb. So much in this disease is a question of behavior – measure enough, note changes, learn, adapt, adjust, measure, estimate. Rinse and repeat. Testing is vital. Behavior and a willingness/ability to learn/adapt is vital. 25% of us are clinically depressed. Lugging this thing around in the back of your mind, all the time, is taxing. Through the years the therapy for diabetes mellitus type 1 has become more and more data driven. You work with algorithms and calculate what you do. You replace the sensor/reaction function of your busted pancreas (this is type 1 here, not t2) by calculating and measuring. I've been diabetic myself since 27 years and have suffered from most crap you can think of. Including three years of diabetic burnout. We will do our best to help. Thanks for your comment! OT: Just realized today, that my son is now as old as I was as I was diagnosed. Immense respect for what you have to deal with peterb.
