O.K. I just found a direct e-mail for Michael (who runs the Yahoo! Insulin Pumpers group.) Tell him you "met" an IP member on a TU DIABETES message, and tell him how desperate you are for supplies. Here's his e-mail: michael@insulin-pumpers.org ...

Hi! You need to contact IP (Insulin Pumpers.) It is a Yahoo! Group. If I remember how I got on originally, I think it was like this: (1) get a Yahoo! e-mail address (2) go Yahoo Groups (3) search for Insulin Pumpers (4) register Put a posting to...

One of the main reasons why I haven't made the switch to the pump is that I am a creature of habit (which diabetes has complicated to some extremes). But I have figured out what to eat, when to eat, and the amount of insulin to cover it all. My nu...

I like really good chocolate -- REALLY good chocolate. But that tends to be expensive chocolate, so I cannot remember when I last had really good chocolate. But I had a pretty nice piece of chocolate cake on Wednesday. :-)

This photo is quite possibly the coolest Diabetic related photo I have ever seen (at least Top 10)... Thank you for sharing.

Jeff, Too bad that I did not read your post before I posted. I could have just said 'Ditto' and saved a lot of typing. My wife was the catalyst too. She said "What is the downside to trying?". My answers did not even convince me.

Being connected & tethered to something would make feel like an invalid. Without a pump I can be in denial and feel normal. When I look at myself in the mirror I look normal. I should have said: "I looked normal.". I experienced frequent episod...

The apps we've discussed are iPhone only apps. Diabetes Pilot (www.diabetespilot.com) works on Windows and Palm devices. Check with your own carrier or phone manufacturer for apps that might work with your phone. Terry

Neuropathy: an unexpected start...

My blood sugar averages have been ranging from 130-140 for quite a while now. Ever since I started on the CGM, I've seen an increase in the number of BG readings in the "normal" range.

Still, in the past few months I started feeling a discomfort in the sole of my feet. Since I have had relatively acceptable blood sugar control, I assumed that it couldn't be neuropathy. Well, I was wrong. Today I went to to the… Continue

I Never Went to Camp

As a rebellious 12 year old, I never went to diabetes camp. I hated the idea...thought it was kind of dorky at the time.

Whatever.

I sometimes kick myself for not going now that I realize the importance of interaction with other T1's. I wonder if I would have had better control in high school, and a better attitude as a young adult.

Again...whatever.

Tonight I will try to redeem myself as I take a road trip to Arizona to support the fine folks from Triabetes and Insulindependence for the Iro… Continue

And the Answer Is.......

Well, maybe not an answer, but I did get my lab results in the mail! That in and of itself was good news. My endo told me that unless there was something wrong that she needed to discuss with me, I would be getting a letter from her in the mail. Today, I got it and I couldn't be happier.

My HbA1c is............5.5! It translates to an average bg of approximately 112 and is higher than the average bg from my meter, which was 92 (translates to an A1c of 4.8) as of 11/10. I know I didn't test enou… Continue

What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports was Medtronic thinking?

I am increasingly frustrated with my CGMS from Medtronic. Here's why:


#1. Having to turn off the wireless interface between my Onetouch Ultralink meter and my MM 722 pump. The reason? Because the CGMS interprets every single test performed as a calibration reading. Too many calibrations "confuse" the CGMS, resulting in bad readings. That whole last statement really doesn't pass the smell test with me, but anyway.

Why is this frustrating you ask? Here's why: It is one more damn thing I… Continue

Lessons from world diabetes day

Diabetes Awareness vs Education

Nov the 14th was world diabetes day for those who already do not know and I was not surprised by how much communities and individuals do to commemorate the day. I wish it would have gotten me off work but boss wasn't buying my schtick about it being important to me than thanksgiving and the other holidays.

One of the reason's we celebrate world diabetes day is to raise awareness to the disease and at this point in the journey we cannot deny that diabetes awarene… Continue
