Where do you all put the wiring for the Animas? I just started using mine about 6 weeks ago....and usually clip it to my belt. Do you just tuck the wires inside your pants?

Barb posted a discussionWorking as a teacher
I have been a type I diabetic for 40 years. I'm in pretty good health...have a pump. I am getting my Masters in Education and will start teaching soon for the first time. My issue is - I have gastroparesis and often have to go to the bathroom frequently. My question is.....has this happened to anyone else? We all know teachers sometimes have to go long periods without a break. I just can't. When my food decides to digest - it just does and boom! I have got to go. Embarrasing.....but this is…See More

Barb replied to JessG's discussion 'Sex With Diabetes'"Yep....it does. I've been diabetic now for almost 40 years...and am so lucky not to have that many complications. Being diabetic - once you get older - definitely affects sex. Like someone else said...almost every time I have sex I get a yeast…"
Barb replied to Barb's discussion 'Inset not going in right'"Not a fresh box.....wowsers.....too expensive! haha. BUT I just get a new inset and put it in and I'm fine. I just wish there was a warning or something if it's not in correctly........"
Barb posted a discussionInset not going in right
I have been on the pump for three months now and I love it! Once in awhile....I put in the insert.....and it is not done correctly. It feels okay.....so until my BGs are way too high I don't know. Then I will take it out and the inset is crooked. Anyone else have this issue?
Barb replied to kalia502's discussion 'What are everyone's daily basal rates?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I've been diabetic for 39 years and mine seems low. I use .7/hr for most of the day and for 3 hours at night I use 1.0."

Richard P Cosgrove replied to Barb's discussion 'Animas Wiring'"I use a pump pack which I curl the tubing in with the pump but they are designed mostly for MM pumps."
solobaricsrock replied to Barb's discussion 'Animas Wiring'"I see your from TX too. I use Skin Tac like you, under the adhesive, but for CGMS its a bit diffrent. The way the Medtronic system sits on the body, you have to cover it, or rish ripping it out everytime your shirt or pants move......but for…"
Karla J Sherer replied to Barb's discussion 'Animas Wiring'"I use some long and some short infusion sets so with the long ones I just drop some of the extra into my pants but if it's a problem for anyone, they make a little deal that is like two buttons put together that you can wind the tubing around…"

Just click on groups at the top of your page and go through til you get to it. Also we have a new thing going on here called TuAnalyze where you can enter your A1C and get our styate lit up (yes I'm from Jackson TN) but I'm sure Marie will be by soon to give you that link! ENJOY!!!!!
