OK all you Detroit/Metro Diabetics. We're looking to expand our
"D GET TOGETHER's" We've had some small gatherings but want to expand and get some more people. So let me know what day in March is the best for you. We're thinking a Saturday morning might be the best for everyone. Maybe around 10 am. so it doesn't break up the day. I vote for March 17th but any date is good with me. If you have a different date, just post it and we will try and set it for the most convenient for the most people.
Let's get a good crowd together! It's very casual and we talk and share all kinds of interesting information. Whether your new to this whole thing or a veteran like me (36 years) there's so much we can learn.
We usually meet at Starbucks along the I-75 corridor at Crooks
but if there's enough interest we may have to move it to bigger headquarters!!

(and Annie, no question is a dumb question!)

Hi Annie! I wouldn't worry about it at all! That happens to all of us (all the time!) and unless there is discomfort, swelling, redness or blood, I wouldn't change your pod. I find that with those open holes I have more air-flow (which for me is a good thing!) keeping the insertion site dry.
If the pod is feeling loose, use some flexifix or other medical adhesive to keep it secure until it's change day!

Dumb question:
I have a new pod on, and can see through one of the pre-punched holes in the adhesive on the cannula end (it is not stuck to my skin like it should be). The tech support guy didn't think the cannula was exposed, but I took an old pod, put it on a piece of paper, and poked a needle through the same hole. I could try it with the pod that's on, but I'm also worried about contamination. Then again, if it is an exposed cannula going into my skin it is already open to contamination. I just don't want to have to change my pump again!!!

D humor:
Coworker #1, with a concerned tone: "Anne, I think your pump alarm is going off!"
Me: "LOL! Nope, that's just the instrument alarm down the hall."
Coworker #2: "She only beeps when she's backing up [like a bus]"
LOL!!!

Thanks, that makes me feel better about it

I like the pods that have a weak, almost shaky sound....like "the little engine that could," .... sort of "toot toot," as opposed to "beep beep."
