Using Social Media to Help Manage Your Diabetes - Taking Control of Your Diabetes
"That was fantastic. I especially like how Manny, David and Dr. Edelman do not bang their own drums when it comes to talking about their websites and shows."
Mayumi replied to BBach's discussion 'afternoon highs'"BBach -
I don't think you're weird, just unique. While I don't have the same problems you do with insulin, you are so right in that no two diabetic persons are ever alike."
still_young_at_heart replied to BBach's discussion 'afternoon highs'"Zoe is right. I don't run my sets and cartridges in synch so that I almost never change my set when I change the cartridge. Just remember that you don't fill the cannula at the end of the cartridge change since it is already full."
Zoe replied to BBach's discussion 'afternoon highs'"I don't see why not if the site was good. I actually try for 4 days with mine. You would just have to reprime each time, but still cartridges are a lot cheaper than sets."

I went in to get my new pump equipped with insulin this morning. I thought everything was going fine except my BG kept trickling higher and higher. I called my CDE at dinner time to report my BG. It was 365. She instructed me to change my set. I did, and sure enough I had a bent cannula. I then bolused 15u
But here's the kicker. By 8 PM my sugar was up to 565, so I bolused another 23u. Now I rechecked again at 9 PM and it is down to 457. Please keep dropping down to normal.
I'll let… Continue

I officially started my Ping this morning. Right now I am pumping saline. On friday, I go back and start using insulin. Pretty easy so far. I am going to need time to adapt to changing my infusion set and rewinding. Just need to take it step by step. My CDE has me on a safe dose, and we will be adjusting accordingly. I just hope I don't go very low. I hate going low. I'll bet that is what everyone here says.
I'll check back in with ya on friday.
