If you do choose to adjust your Lantus (I think it is up to you if you want to or not), then you should do it step by step. Inject 1-2 hours later one day, then 1-2 hours later the next day until you are at the right time. I hope this makes sense (a…
Like the Frio cases for carrying insulin when I travel:) Also keep everything together in my carry on for TSA to look at. Keep as much in original packing w/ prescription information and since I am on a pump, I also carry a letter from my doc that l…
Thank you all so much for responding. It's nice to know I don't have to figure this all out on my own.
a member here, Tim, posted a link to the TSA's own website with all the regulations - here - I found it very helpful.
I've never had any trouble. Be sure and tell them when your going through security that your diabetic and you have diabetic supplies with you. I usually take everything I need for the trip with me rather than putting those items in checked luggage.…
I recently flew for the first time with pump and all supplies. I had a letter from my doc and all my supplies in a back pack that went through the xray machine. They did not even ask me about it. The inspected my bag because my liquid makeup wasn't…
This is new territory for you so don't feel bad having to ask a question like this. With all the new TSA rules, even a D vetran like me has to ask questions sometimes :) First of all, contact your doctor for a letter that lists all your prescription…
As a newly diagnosed Type 1(last week), I'll be travelling to Colorado in August(from Virginia). Questions I have. Security...what will I need to do about my Lantus pens? BG monitor, etc? Does it all go through security? How do you handle injecting…
Thanks for asking the questions Steve. At 51, just diagnosed T1. Started insulin last week and have been wondering all those questions. I'm figuring it's like a permanent new born baby. They may sleep for 2 minutes but the eating thing is constant.…
Isn't that the truth. I'm truly thankful for all I've got. Including my health. I'm still breathing!!!!
Thank you for putting a smile on my face. I spelled piece today playing scrabble with my 15 year old son, he won but its a constant challenge. My student, Christina, senior kept asking me if I was okay this winter. Nope found out the blood sugar was…
Gerry,
I'm 51, LADA. also in Roanoke Valley. Day 3 of insulin..don't know what my numbers will be like or if I can have a sandwhich again. I've been controlling this roller coaster ride with a low carb diet. I'm still in disbelief that my Type 2 mo…
Hi Delaney,
I'm 51 years old and felt awful for about 6 months before I found out my fasting BG was 290. My family dr. said it was type 2 and put me on medicine, but thought I should see a specialist. Thank goodness for that. I have controlled my n…

Stacey :0)~ said… - Hi Anne! I can understand you worrying about the lows especially being new to all this. The best thing to do is test,test,test! I'm sure you know that but that's the best way to stay in good control. I'm glad to hear you've been able to get your A1C down so much! That's great! It can be a lot of work and a pain I know! If you do go on a pump in a few yrs as your DR predicted it will really help in managing things. I resisted the pump for over 20 yrs and only wish I had started sooner! Well if you ever have any questions feel free to stop by anytime!! :) Have a great weekend!!

- Hello Anne! I am glad that you finally have the right diagnosis! Starting on insulin can seem intimidating and emotional, but you will have the hang of it soon!
I have had type 1 diabetes for 6 years ( I was diagnosed at 21) and I found that once I really started to understand how insulin works, I was able to manage much better.
What insulins are you taking? How did they teach you to calculate the dose?
Please feel free to ask ANY questions! Also, I would highly recommend the book: Think Like a Pancreas. It is a great guide to life with insulin.
