Hi Shadow,

Opsite works great. It's extremely moisture resistant.

Hello everyone! I play soccer. Today I had a game and before we even really got started my pod decided to fall off. I put it on my back last night, because I play goal keeper and know there is a greater chance of it getting dislodged if I wear it on my stomach. My question is....what can I use to make it stay on when I am sweating?

After a full day of skiing my blood sugar levels are very high. All other exercise lowers my blood sugar. Does anyone else suffer from this? I take minimal insulin based on food intake as I do with other sports, but leave my insulin pump turned on at 100%.

Some very good discussion on 5km running and other distances.

Yes, that's what I thought last night when I saw it again. He holds up his hands and says, "No more fingersticks". But the announcer said "Bloodless". I've read up on it on-line and do not see any particularly good comments about it. Just hoping...

@Laura it's not that it's bloodless. I haven't seen one of the ads lately to be able to quote it, but they something about "not pricking my fingers anymore"...which translates into "alternate site testing" on the arm, palm, etc. It's not a trick necessarily, just not as clearly labeled as what one might think ;-) And most of today's meters and lancet devices offer clear caps and varying depths to be able to do alternate site testing, so your current meter probably already does what it's advertising.
A truly bloodless testing kit will definitely be an improvement though and I too look forward to that!

Hey Everybody - What's up with the bloodless testing kit advertised on TV by Arriva? Anyone have any info? They say it works great on tv and is sponsored by Medicare. Not that I have Medicare - just looking for some bloodless testing! Anxious for that to the max.

Hey, I'm connected to a couple of moms of sons who play lacrosse & deal with diabetes. My daughter plays field hockey & softball -- ckillian, I'll check your page & try to send links.

I have never played Lacrosse but I have played soccer. I think you just have to play with your basal rate. Everyone is different. Try reducing it to 50% an go from there. Your sugars might jump after you are done. Sometimes I give myself a bolus after I am done. I would also use the Cliff blocks. They have 15grams per block. Good luck
