Does anyone know what might cause infusion sites to bleed beyond just a "bad site"? I have had ongoing problems with allergies to infusion sets over the past few years which. I am currently using Comforts (same as Minimed Silhouettes, I believe) and…Continue

How do I break this bottle?
Posted by bufbuffalo on June 19, 2013 at 5:50am 5 Comments 0 Likes
I was working for a law office for over 6 years and was one of their best legal assistants. I called in maybe once or twice within the 6 years of being there. I averaged in top 5 out of 30 assistants every month. 3 months after I was dx with t1d I was "let go" form the company for production reasons. I was also dx with neuropathy and the pain was at an all time high. I was calling in a lot do to doctor visits and long, sad, painful, sleepless night. I was my priority at the time not my job…

This is a reprint of an article I wrote for Multihulls Magazine Jan/Feb 2013. It was geared towards sailors and crew members who are not familiar with diabetes. As a person with diabetes, it would be a great primer for anyone you may sail with to be followed up with a discussion of a more detailed plan of action.

No Longer a Ferrari, more like a Volvo
Posted by Clare on June 18, 2013 at 1:37pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
Since I started using an omnipod in May my blood sugars have run a bit higher than I would like them to be but I figure that is to be expected when learning a completely different way to take insulin. In the pre-pump days my blood sugar would race like a Ferrari. It never went above 250 but often went below 50 and usually at a double down arrow pace.
