Amy replied to Kenny!'s discussion 'You know youre a diabetic when.....'"Or when someone says "Omg, this bread/pasta/whole grain anything is so good for you" and the only thing you can think is "holy crap that'd be a lot of insulin...""
Amy replied to T1Teen's discussion 'Tasting insulin?!'"I've had it happen when I was on MDI, but it's not a regular thing. Sometimes, the tops of my ears would tingle when I gave myself a shot, too, so I always assumed it was be being weird and I never thought to ask anyone about it.:P"
Amy replied to Bacail's discussion 'Finger stick site care'"What kind of lancing device are you using? I switched to one touch's delica and my fingers have never looked more normal"

Amy replied to karatejoe's discussion 'stupid me'"Two words: Rage bolus.

Amy commented on Thierry's group 'Seattle Type 1 Diabetes'"I'm always around! Well, either at work at WFM Interbay or at home in the U-District. I don't really know anyone, either, so really, I'm ALWAYS around :P"
Amy replied to Dana825's discussion 'PLEASE HELP, RHETORIC ON DIABETES ASSIGNMENT'"I can honestly say I have never once in my 13+ years with type 1 worried what anyone would think when I checked my blood sugar or took a shot. I once had a teacher in high school yell at me for eating in class, but I shut him down by loudly saying…"
Amy replied to Jan's discussion 'Portable solutions for carrying glucometer'"!!! My carrying things at work nightmares may be over!"
Amy replied to Jan's discussion 'Portable solutions for carrying glucometer'"In high school I refused to wear anything other than cargo pants. Insulin, syringes, and meter were on one side, and food was on the other. I don't think they make cargo pants much anymore, plus I think they've gone out of style, but they…"
Amy replied to Jo's discussion 'Wearing sites on your thigh'"I point it so the tubing goes down your leg, so the cannula pointing up. That way if I'm not thinking about it I don't tear it out by catching my pants on the tubing when I take them off."
