Started this discussion. Last reply by jbowler Jul 27, 2011. 20 Replies 0 Likes
My doctor told me today that there is a somewhat complicated equation about exercise and BG levels. She will go through it with me when I see her next month. I've been diabetic for 23 years and have…Continue

Brooklyn replied to Cindy's discussion 'Tubing- switch from Omnipod' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I made the switch about 14 months ago from the Omnipod to the Revel and I felt just like you. I have had diabetes for 26 years and the Omnipod was my first pump. I resisted a pump because of the tubing and didn't want to feel like a robot. I…"
Natalie ._c- replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Stress' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"The very first thing I always think about if my numbers are out of whack is, have my basal, I:C and insulin sensitivity ratios changed? Even if I don't think they have. So retesting those couldn't hurt, and MIGHT help.
Second, I am easily…"

Scott E replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Stress' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I'm glad to hear the pump is working out well for you! I remember how concerned you were about it before you started.
The stress may just be a part of life, but does your doctor check thyroid levels (TSH) with your bloodwork? It's pretty…"
Brooklyn replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Stress' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Thanks David. I will go look at this in a bit."
Brooklyn replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Stress' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"what happens when my art adds to the stress? I am a working artist whose work is drying up. sigh. It's a good idea though. Maybe try to make some art just for arts sake and not for money sake. I will look into the JDRF support groups in my area."
mary replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Stress' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Stressing about stress. I have tried several diabetes support groups. The Adult T1, sponsored by JDRF, which meets at local brewing establishments, has been the most helpful, mostly due to the lack of nondiabetic professional advisers. The ones run…"

Stress
Hi Everyone,I have been on the pump now since October and I love it. It's so easy and reliable and after having been on the Omnipod for 4 years I can't even believe I suffered for four years on that thing when I could have been on this. My concerns about the tubing were totally unjustified. sure the dog chewed through it twice but I have never ripped it out compared to 2+ times a week on the pod.My problem is that I am just not getting the numbers I need to get. I am pretty sure it isn't the…See More
Brooklyn replied to Leanne's discussion 'What to do when your pump is in the way' in the group Athletic Diabetics"setting it on the side is a great idea. i just move it around which is an inconvenience but I try to deal with it. It doesn't work in your bra? what about on top of your shoulder strap? I do Muay Thai kickboxing and often I have to opt out of…"
Don replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Mostly happy with new Revel but having issues getting supplies' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Has anyone noticed a price difference between using Minimed directly or a 3rd party vendor? Thus far it looks like my insurance uses MM, Edgepark, and Sterling but I have no idea if there is any cost difference. Anybody have insight?"
Mayumi replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Mostly happy with new Revel but having issues getting supplies' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I would also like to suggest that when you have a month or more of supplies on hand, be sure and call Medtronic to reorder. I ordered my test strips on 1-6-2012 and just received a call this afternoon on 2-8-2012 that they are shipping my test…"

- Just wanted to let you know that I am loving my pump so far. I just started using it on Thursday and couldn't be happier. I began to feel physically better later that evening. One of my Pugs in particular, is very spazzy at times. I have had no issues with the tubing and either of my Pugs. I will be going back on the 18th to get started with my CGM. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

- Your Pugs are adorable! I love that you call them monkey loaf! I actually have two Pugs now. We took in a 10 year old guy whose owner could no longer keep them. Having multiple Pugs is great. =)
I too am starting on the 523 Revel and CGM. Mine just arrived today, but I'm not meeting with my diabetic educator about it until Thursday. I must admit, the two boxes full of stuff is a little overwhelming. I'll let you know how it goes for me and hope you will do the same. Take care!

Janice L Cotton said… - Until I get this problem with "private" messaging sorted out...I'll have to communicate with you by posting on your page. I didn't start a discussion but....I might very well be switching to the Ping. I have a relative who might be interested in an insulin pump. She thinks that the OmniPod is just too enormous.
I had a representative visit for an in depth explanation and demonstration of the Ping. By the way the fact that they offer a pink pump might have more sway with her than anything positive that I have to say regarding the OmniPod. She's seen evidence of the vast improvement in my numbers since I starting pumping my insulin. Her numbers have been all over the place; and she seems to now out of that honeymoon phase. She's just 16 and we've discussed the importance of having numbers as well controlled as possible sooooooooooo, I'm willing to give up the Pod in order to be supportive to her. She thinks that it'll be "cool" if we had the same pump. I don't think I'll go as far as a pink one though.
