I couldn’t watch live because I didn’t have the time. I can’t watch now because I don’t have time.
Is it possible to create a script of questions/topics followed by your answers? Doing so will allow me (and others?) to quickly review and choose which topics/questions are of interest.
Thanks 🙏 in advance for your decision. No reply or explanation is needed if you can’t. If you can, then I’ll see it in a future updated email.
Sincerely,
Michael O’Meara
Sounds good; that way it’s in print x and you can refer back to it if you’ve printed it.
Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for your suggestion. We don’t have a written transcript, but we did add a list of the featured questions with corresponding timecode. Hope that helps!
LIVE Q&A
What are the cons with Baqsimi and Gvoke?
Hi Pam,
Some people feel a strong pressure in their nostril when they take Baqsimi, almost like an air bag going off. Gvoke is very easy. Any glucagon can cause a little nausea, but the alternative could be way worse…dying from a hypo.
Im type 2, but enjoyed this. I know not to go crazy when a1c don’t match my cam. I know to take insulin 20min before meal n not before eating. I know my insulin start up 20 to 30min before it’s injected n my insulin last about 3 to 4hrs after injection. I will keep a lil juice by bed n not get up n go crazy n accuse my husband of eating everything. The exercise I’m understanding that more. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, Myra! Sounds like you’re doing great! 🙂
Thank you so much I am a type 2. Also a CDCES and BC-ADM. I provide care in a rural area and try to keep my education real. Your approach to diabetes care is so validating to how I provide education and care for those living with diabetes. Thank you for keeping it so real and practical.
Thanks for your commment, Sharon, and thank you for taking care of folks in rural areas where it can be so hard to get good diabetes education.
