Barbara commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Pumping Seniors'"Hi,everyone. I just received my 2nd order of pump supplies. My first supplies came with the pump and as missing a box of insets. I had many cartridges left but ran out of insets. I think it was an error in the packaging. So I received five boxes of…"
Barbara commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Animas Insulin Pump Users'"I called them. They told me they sent me 5 boxers of each. They did not. They also said they sent multiple colors. They did not. I was supposed to be on automatic and they were going to send me a form. Never got it. I know I have to be on top of…"
Barbara commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Animas Insulin Pump Users'"Hi. I just used my last insert. I have lots of cartridges. Looks like I was given more inserts than cartridges on my first set up order. My fault, I did not count everything out. Learned my lesson the hard way. Did this happen to anyone else? I had…"
Barbara commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Pumping Seniors'"Yes, thanks. I only have my Animas Pump nurse for another week. Still numbers are not stable. A bit discouraged. So many things to keep in mind."
Barbara commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Pumping Seniors'"Does anyone ever have sorenss with the adhesive tape after changing insert? It's uncomfortable and I don't want to have to change the set again because of it. I'm hoping it goes away."
Barbara replied to Gayle Kodimer Mckenna's discussion 'how long do you wear your inset?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I have been on the pump for two weeks on Thursday. My first change was so frustrating I wanted to quit right then and there! I had to do the whole thing over also. The second try was much better. I was due to change yesterday but will change today.…"

marie said… - Hi Barbara my name is Jennifer , I see that you live nearby and that you've been a diabetic since 89 . I was diagnosed in 1990 when I was only 10 . I was wondering how you deal with it and have you had to deal with any complications . I have sensitivity in my feet ( I can feel them) it just doesn't feel good if they are touched meaning I can't even deal with a pedicure . Otherwise I'm ok

MatthewHubbard said… Welcome home! Being diagnosed and living with Diabetes is one of the hardest things anyone can ever go through. However, you no longer have to do it alone. TuDiabetes is a great place to seek support, information, advice, and general friendship. Be sure to introduce yourself on the forums; tell us your story. Also, take part in a conversation or lose yourself in the tons and tons of information. If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask! - Matt
