Anne L. Colleran left a comment for Kristin"Thanks for the Bday wishes. Endo appt today. yipee all looks good for 6 months on the pump. A1c 6.8 from 7.2 in August."
Kristin replied to Anne L. Colleran's discussion 'What to do about Air Travel and all the supplies we have?'"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…"
Patricia replied to Anne L. Colleran's discussion 'What to do about Air Travel and all the supplies we have?'"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…"

Suzanne replied to Anne L. Colleran's discussion 'What to do about Air Travel and all the supplies we have?'"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…"
Anne L. Colleran posted a discussionWhat to do about Air Travel and all the supplies we have?
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 in public? The time of the flight corresponds with that. How about time zone changes and medicating. Stay with east coast time with injecting and eating??? I feel so stupid asking these questions. I feel like I should already know this. Please add…See More
Anne L. Colleran replied to Steve Carithers's discussion 'Question for the Longtime Diabetics'"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…"

Nope found out the blood sugar was…"
Anne L. Colleran replied to Delaney Mawson's discussion 'When were you diagnosed?'"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…"

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.
