"On the last trip to Tucson, there wasn't a full body scan machine. On the Pittsburgh trip, there was, but I didn't get the pat down (maybe because it was only the first week of Nov)."

Bob replied to AngelaC's discussion 'TSA IS Targeting Those With Prostheses and Medical Devices'"There were several people at the airport that requested the pat down instead of the scan so I think you can request that anyway. The TSA people were very accomodating - remember, they are people too. Funny part about the pat down requestors is that…"
Bob replied to AngelaC's discussion 'TSA IS Targeting Those With Prostheses and Medical Devices'"Flew yesterday and last week through O'Hare and Tucson. No problems with Navi CGM (visible on my arm) or Omnipod (not visible as it was on my stomach). Receiver and PDM are left in my bag going through belt screener.
Flew first week of Nov…"

Bob replied to Seth's discussion 'IMPORTANT::: ALL EDGE PARK CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ...' in the group Omnipod Users"Ok - to summarize the threads as I want to make sure I have this right. 1. The FDA has not approved (as of 10/04/10) using the new Freestyle strips on anything other than Freestyle Meters (Lite, Classic). 2. Some distributors are distributing the…"
Bob replied to Heather's discussion 'Interval training and hypoglycemia' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Heather,
I was talking about reducing the basal at other times during the day. I think I understood your original post to say that your lows are just during daily life. So, what I meant to say is that look at your basal profile during those time…"
Bob replied to Heather's discussion 'Interval training and hypoglycemia' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Heather,
I have to say, for me, intervals are the way to go. Otherwise, how are you going to get fast? Anyway, I typically have a base basal rate for springtime and then again for fall. It usually takes me a few very frustrating days or weeks to…"
Bob replied to Natasha Bowlds's discussion 'Fastest Pod Change Ever.' in the group Omnipod Users"ok, so who is going to have a contest and what do we win? Let's standardize it at 120 units of insulin for priming purposes."
Bob replied to Mike Campana's discussion 'Red Riders!' in the group Cycling Diabetics"As a person who has logged hundreds of hours indoors, I can say that riding on a trainer is much different than outside. Yes you don't get to coast but every point in the pedal stroke has tension so there is literally no rest. You also…"
Bob replied to Bob's discussion 'Team Type 1 and 2 Training Camp' in the group Cycling Diabetics"Hey tmana,
Just a few. It was really low key with lots of time with sponsors and, unfortunately, lots of snow and cold to ride through. It was pretty cool though because when I joined the team, there were 8 of us. Now, we have about 54 athletes with…"
tmana replied to Bob's discussion 'Team Type 1 and 2 Training Camp' in the group Cycling Diabetics"So... how many supporters showed up for the event?"

I am happy that you are reading this and that you are a member of the growing TuDiabetes family.
Since the community was formed back in early 2007, lots of things have changed. Also since then, lots of new members have joined: we're now nearly 11,300 members. So, new members and new features means it never hurts to refresh how things work around the community.
If you haven't read it, I invite you to take a few minutes to go through our New Member Guide. If you have been a member for a while but have let a little dust accumulate on your TuDiabetes account, you will find it very useful. If you joined just recently, you will find it EVEN MORE handy.
If you don't find answers to a question you may have, never hesitate to ask. Click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page and one of the members of our Admin team (you can see their faces on the bottom right side of any page) will get back to you shortly.

I live in Minneapolis, where we are in for anywhere fom 12-20" of snow in the next 48 hours. Lovely.
Welcome to Tu Diabetes Rob. Nice to have you with us.
