good luck to you Naomi. We have been ttc since June 08, had a set back last december with a miscarraige and then no luck since. It is very discouraging and disappointing as each month passes. People keep telling me it will happen so I have to hang...
Are you hooked up with one of these new devices? Have you advice to give others that are interested in trying one out? Join the CGM group and share your knowledge.
I am amazed at the length of time everyone can get out of their sensors! I always get better accuracy through day 4-6 but never have tried to go any further. I'm afraid of infection but it doesn't seem like anybody is experiencing that. I'm going ...

I have the same thing! In my finger tips and my hands.... sometimes my feet too. I mentioned this to my Endo but she said it wasn't Diabetes related, if it were then it would be more at night, laying in bed, wake you up type of thing. It's probabl...
I'm looking into the same thing and having the same problem. I want something small (because it will be on my wrist) but at the same time it has to be legible. I just can't stand wearing my bracelet anymore! I will try to attach a pic of what I am...
That is SO CUTE!! Love it!
66 in Albany, NY.....time to eat!
I have been using the CGMS since June of last year and recently I have been getting repeated calc errors and bad sensor errors. I was wondering if this was possibly due to the transmitter starting to go because I was told they would/could last bet...
I use the 522 and a couple of times I forgot about the low resevoir alarm going off, I have it set at 20 units but I stretch it as long as possible and then I tend to forget. I actually asked my area rep if there was a setting for the pump to alar...

Misty said… - Hi Alicia ... sorry it took me so long to reply ... having a 3 month old makes you a very busy woman. We are both doing just fine, although I got a letter in the mail saying my endo is ending his practice at the end of this year :( I don't like finding new endos ... not fun How are you?

- Thank You for your insite ... and I agree after being on the pump for so many years changing the site doesn't seem to get easier. I can only do the stomach area ... i'm not comfortable with other places. I do kind of venture around the stomach area ... lol ... I find that the closer to my belt and the closer to the side i get, i tend to bleed so the site doesn't last but 1 min. I'm glad to hear you guys are thinking in a positive light, and really thats all you can do. Things happen for a reason, and when the time is right everything will work out. I remember thinking I would never be able to have children, and GOD proved me wrong :) thats for sure. All I want is a healthy baby too ... I pray and pray for that one ... thats all I want for Christmas too ... he he kind of cheesy ... but hey !! Well girl, I hope things continue to go well for you guys, and I hope you have a great Christmas !!

- oh girl ... I am so sorry to hear this (it happened to me before as well) ... I'm glad you and your husband are looking at it the way you are, I do think things happen for a reason. (although I'm still very sorry to hear that). I get so worried that my "high" blood sugars are really messing with the baby. Right now i'm having trouble keeping my pump sight working correctly ... it seems like some last 3 days and others only a few hours. Yesterday I was in the 400's and it took me 2 hours to finally come down (yikes) ... Thats not good no matter the situation, but I ended up changing my pump site twice ... and I'm not to fond of that. We are very excited to find out the sex ... I want a girl and he wants a boy ... but when it all sets in, we just both really want a healthy baby ... I pray every night for that ... Let me know if there is anything I can do for you guys !!

- Hi Alicia ... I don't mind questions :) ... Yes this is my first & Thank You we're getting more and more excited ... as time goes by you kind of learn how to deal with things, and make it a little bit easier. This week I am 15 weeks ... we've got an appointment on the 16th and thats when we're suppose to find out if it's a boy or a girl. I have gone low so many times while pregnant, it's starting to get on my nerves ( lol ) ... so just watch out for those lows !! How are you feeling? Congrats to you as well !!!

AUDREY said… - Hello,
It is funny I put a sensor in the other day and I swear it goes off on the most in appropriate time when i am at a resturant or in a meeting at work etc. I have not been to the malls in a while I have a bad sense of direction and get lost all the time I would meet you at one of them. I usually go to lee outlets because they are closer to where I live and have great bargains too ! By the way your dogs are adorable!! will have to put some pics up.
