Re: CPAP Induced Aerophagia Causes Elevated Blood Glucose Levels

I'm diabetic and have been using CPAP since last June. I take Lantus (24 hour insulin). One month after I started using CPAP, I cut my insulin from 110 units/day to 55 units/day-- and my blood sugars have been lower and much more stable.

Re: Getting an ID bracelet, what to put on it?

I don't wear a bracelet-- I wear a "dog tag" instead. It's stainless steel and engraved on both sides it was really cheap to make. Here's the info on the tag: Name, address, phone, DOB, Diabetic, High BP, Lens implant, med list in wallet, doctors phone number.
