I also commit the crime of air bubbles sometimes (when I'm frustrated and rushing). I like to mostly use my arms and belly, I've never tried other sites than the highlighted ones. That liquid is…"
Alisonisayoshi replied to Tracy's discussion 'Are there any T1 happy with Omnipod?' in the group OmniPod Users"Little late to reply but I'm fairly sure you are probably still getting oriented to diabetes and choosing a treatment method. I love my pod. I went from MDI to Pods, I never tubed. I love my pod. It's perfect for me. I'm happy, can…"
Alisonisayoshi replied to MooseDroppings's discussion 'Insulin Resistant' in the group OmniPod Users"Ok I'm an insulin resistant type 1 (my body just hates me!!). I HAVE to take metformin or my insulin doesn't work all that great. I'm not all that smart about why metformin helps but it does for me. I also have to work out. It takes…"
Alisonisayoshi replied to barend's discussion 'Not happy with the new PDM' in the group OmniPod Users"Yeah I heard that too! Bah! I get it but it will take adjusting for sure lol"
Alisonisayoshi replied to Lovre's discussion 'I have a few questions about LCHF diet' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"I hybrid Bern and Eat to Live. I eat high fat but I get my fat from eggs, heavy whipping cream in my coffee, avocado, oils, ect. I have the best blood sugar control I have ever had. I am on 40-70 carbs per day. All veggie based. NO GRAINS! I…"
Alisonisayoshi replied to AfrezzaUser's discussion 'Afrezza An Ultra Rapid-Acting Insulin / Inhaled Insulin Onset 12 minutes!!!!'"Well as much as Ive enjoyed being advertised to, I have this awesome insulin called Humalog.

Alisonisayoshi commented on lizard's blog post 'So Here I Am..'"I was like you, I probably did not seem that bad to an outsider. I needed serious help to recover. I lost everything to my omitting.

Alisonisayoshi replied to jessica's discussion 'what do people do when they have no health insurance but need insulin'"So I have been without. Here are my "survival tips" Sometimes the patient assistance programs take so long you have insurance again by the time they finally send you insulin. :( I would go to the Walmart brands as a last option. First…"
Alisonisayoshi replied to Tom's discussion 'Electrical Stimulation and pod' in the group OmniPod Users"Oh yeah I'd call your pump rep! And otherwise I'd move to arm and leg sites for a bit!"
Alisonisayoshi replied to Mayumi's discussion 'Ever been kicked out of Doctor's practice?'"Funny my insurance will not cover a dexcom or CGM. In fact it took a lot of convincing to get them to approve a pump! I'd happily wait a little longer to see a doctor or specialty nurse if it meant that I had free access to those services. I…"
Alisonisayoshi replied to Mayumi's discussion 'Ever been kicked out of Doctor's practice?'"Funny my friends in the UK and Canada don't wait in long lines and unlike me they have never rationed test strips because they couldn't afford them. Maybe affordable care isn't a great issue to debate here k?"
Alisonisayoshi replied to Mayumi's discussion 'Ever been kicked out of Doctor's practice?'"My endo books hour long initials and 30 minute follow ups. Nothing less ever. I pay no more fore this service. He has also abandoned the term "non compliant". He is of the mind that diabetics that aren't caring properly for themselves…"
