BSP replied to Tabacblond's discussion 'Do you gals wear heels :)?' in the group Diabetes and Women"I was diagnosed at age 2 in 1982. I was told to never go barefoot. Well, that just didn't work.

BSP replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'Joslin Medalist Program' in the group Type1 for 30 Plus Years"As part of this program you can also get a certificate for living with diabetes for 25 years. When you reach 50 or 75 you do not need to reapply, as they'll already have all of your documentation and information."

BSP replied to Dkinsey's discussion 'What should your A1C levels be when you are thinking of getting pregnant?' in the group Diabetes and Women"My diabetes team at the time (I've since switched teams due to a change in insurance companies) wanted my A1C below 7 for 2 consecutive tests...so for 6 months I needed to be under 7. It was a lot of hard work, a lot of testing, a lot of…"
BSP replied to RNPumper's discussion 'When in doubt..Alarms' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"Becca,
I've been on a pump since 1998 and, while occlusions have happened with me, I wouldn't say that they are frequent. I remember one time where I was running high all day long. I eventually delivered insulin via injection, changed my…"
