I'm quite jealous.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry that Trille didn't work out for you, but it looks like Nemo is just as nice!

If you ever read about how c-peptides vary in long time diabetics and how this may be correlated to complications and ability to manage diabetes I would be interested in knowing!Chrissie in Belgiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556806942193998413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-185895715534287032007-10-29T12:23:00.000+01:002007-10-29T12:23:00.000+01:00Thanks Heidi - I have just been so curious about c...Thanks Heidi - I have just been so curious about c-peptides!Chrissie in Belgiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556806942193998413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-26465632203311107952007-10-29T11:19:00.000+01:002007-10-29T11:19:00.000+01:00To be able to compare these different values requi...To be able to compare these different values requires some additional knowledge. One cannot just convert a concentration in µg/l to pmol/l - or the other way around - without knowing the molecular mass of the matter in question. I do not know the molecular mass of C-peptide so I will have to look that up before I can answer you :-)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928203708923370018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-49825133180563437952007-10-29T11:04:00.000+01:002007-10-29T11:04:00.000+01:00Do I multipy pmol/l by 18 to get µg/l? I haveDo I multipy pmol/l by 18 to get µg/l? I have <0.009µg/l. In other words, my amounts are so small they cannot be accurately deternined. I have been told from a reliable source that some long-time diabetics definitely have more c-peptides than others, and that this is not related to how long they have had diabetes. Furthermore, the more you have, the easier it is to control your diabetes and the less complications you may have! A professor of endocrinology told me this! Since then I have been kind of curious to find another long-time diabetic who has higher levels than me......Chrissie in Belgiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556806942193998413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-60641318309477874302007-10-29T10:22:00.000+01:002007-10-29T10:22:00.000+01:00Scott - Thank you very much :-)Chrissie - I agree,...Scott - Thank you very much :-)<BR/><BR/>Chrissie - I agree, the Munsterlanders are not that big, but they are big enough for us to feel that we don't have enough room for one. From the very beginning we have agreed that, at least for the time being, we do not want a big dog. We think that big dogs belong to bigger houses with bigger gardens where they can run around and play if their walk is postponed or shortened for some reason. If it wasn't for these limitations I feel sure that we would have accepted Trille regardless her paternal originator :-)<BR/><BR/>As for the C-peptide level, I haven't had it measured since the spring of 2001, so I have no idea what it might be today. At that time, however, it was 119 pmol/l (fasting), which is about half the normal, healthy value (200-300 pmol/l). Still, the fact that it was present - after more than 11 years of T1 - suggested to me that maybe my own islet cells could occasionally be playing tricks on me regarding BG-regulation. I don't know, it may also just be the reason why I've been able to keep my A1c below 6.5 for the past 13 years or so (actually at the time the C-peptide was measured my A1c was above 6.0 - can't remember if it was 6.2 or 6.6 - for the first time in years).Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928203708923370018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-31145299625358234842007-10-29T09:52:00.000+01:002007-10-29T09:52:00.000+01:00I forgot to ask you - have you had your C-peptide ...I forgot to ask you - have you had your C-peptide level checked?

AND you see it so clearly on Kevin's logsheets! I am so gladd they work for you! I AM JEALOUS THAT I CANNOT MANAGE TO SHOW MINE ON MY BLOG. Why am I the only one who can't make it work!!! So you think a Munsterlander is too big - they are not that big dogs. BTW Big dogs don't always need more exercise than small dogs, but I agree, Munsterlanders DO need alot of exercise. My brother had one. And I am so happy that your money is FINALLY coming through! Maybe the long distance kick helped?! So you will soon be off to Scotland. Ooooh you are so lucky!Chrissie in Belgiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556806942193998413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-61716686149942107232007-10-28T23:06:00.000+01:002007-10-28T23:06:00.000+01:00Fantastical blood sugars!
