a note 📝 in chart from specialists that outlines (ignored) only thing looked at behavioral plan that highlights her insulin injecting 😡. #DiabetesEducator comes in & asks if she has #insulin on her as her #BloodSugar ‘doesn’t make sense’ 🤦🏻♀️. This is abusive. I have been told 2

"we observed significant associations with insulin secretion. Notably, C-peptide based indices were positively, but insulin-based ones were negatively associated with LDL cholesterol. This was due to an association of LDL cholesterol with insulin clearance."
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is associated with insulin secretion (open access)

recap of a lil #hydration #sciencefromhome #experiment me & some mates ran over the last ~year. analysis not finished, but will release #bloodsugar data before H4H conf starts🤓
Pt 1. A fair while back we had a rather exciting delivery...What have we been up to?1/

Pt 2. After the rather exciting delivery (and some more) arrived, the study design needed to be finalised:
Non-randomised controlled study where we *planned* for experimenters to do the CONTROL arm first, followed by the INTERVENTION arm

Minor problem: i hadnt cannulated in > 1 y & my mates had never learnt at all
Cue odd evening remembering/teaching cannulation on poor Snuffles belly...

Thinking of taking your loved one out of #longtermcare during the #covid19 ? There is *no easy answer*. But here are few things to think about:
1) Do they need to be transferred (bed / toilet / shower) and how would you do that?
2) Do they need a Hoyer lift? (thread continues)

3) Do you have the medications and expertise to provide the medical care?
4) Are you in danger of infecting other vulnerable members of your household?
5) How will you support them if they have dementia?
6) Do you have knowledge on how to support #incontinence & the products?

7) Who will you call if they get sicker either with #Covid19 or their underlying #health issues?
8) are they going to lose their #placement in the #nursinghome (in Ontario - the answer would be yes)
9) who else in your home needs care?
10) how will you support #socialengagement?
