Diabetic Products are Non-Taxable Goods
Started Dec 28, 2011 0 Replies 1 Like
I thought I would pass this along in the hopes of saving some of us a few of our hard earned dollars. Diabetic goods are expensive enough and therefore most states have made them exempt from sales…Continue

I was riding my bike this evening and got an unfortunate alarm. MOTOR ERROR and the pump had stopped (Medtronic 723 Paradigm). I escaped the alarm, disconnected and primed the pump (and pump seamed…Continue

Capin101 replied to Timothy's discussion 'Hypo awareness coming back !'"Kudos Timothy! I think my experiences have been very similar. I have been on the MM CGM for almost a year and a half. After 2-3 months I was usually symptomatically noticing hypos in the 60s (instead of 40s and 50s).
I also notice my hypers a lot…"
Capin101 replied to Chris Miller's discussion 'Jay Cutler'"Jay Cutler rocks! I would take the announcers blabbings to mean very little. Jay could have been explaining that he is eating lower carb to take less insulin and (hopefully) keep more steady BGs. The announcers then might ask, oh, what food is low…"
Capin101 replied to Unknown Diabetic's discussion 'T1 Who wants to come off insulin.'"Here is a news article and Wikipedia link for a case of a T1 going off insulin. I will play the role of spoiler: The parents refused to provide their T1 daughter insulin believing that thier faith would save her. T1 daughter dies and parents have…"
Capin101 replied to LysianneAudet's discussion 'Testing the right basal'"Your basal insulin should maintain a steady (flatline) BG for you indefinately without the additon of any food or exercise. The common way to check your basal rates is to skip a meal and check your BG every hour or two until you eat again. You are…"
Capin101 replied to twepat's discussion 'How long before you change out?'"I change on the third day like others. I am concerned about the insulin's efficency and developing scar tissue over time."
Capin101 replied to jess's discussion 'very new to diabetes, but looking to learn more about CGMs'"Hi Jessica Nice to meet you and sorry that you have joined our merry club.
I think its great that you are so proactive and want to learn as much as you can. That is the perfect attitude. A few things I want to add. MDI is the cornerstone of T1…"
Capin101 replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'New To Pump: Changing Basal Rates'"I had adjustments all over the place when I started my pump. The main reason being is that I have a pronounced dawn phenomenon. My endo set up basal rates that were signifigantly higer during the night hours, but they were still not high enough. My…"
Capin101 replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'Puberty Starting??'"Hormones (just about any of them) have an interaction with insulin. Most hormones cause an increase need for insulin. As you know: hormones fluctuate wildly during puberty making being a T1 more difficult.
Their are other big factors around this…"
Capin101 replied to Sportster's discussion 'Who eats Bananas?'"Bananas do not work for me. They are too many carbs, too slowly digested to use for corrections and digest too fast for my humalog to stand a fighting chance.
Ironicically enough, last year's local JDRF walk was handing out bananas to walkers…"
Capin101 replied to Diabetes and Johnny's discussion 'CGM Insertion'"I sometimes think inserting the sensor is a form of medieval torture. Sensor insertion is sometimes the least favorite event of my week. Like Acid rock, I find the data very valuable and think it is worth the pain.
I find that my site may be sore…"
Capin101 replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'Reversal of type 1 diabetes via islet β cell regeneration'"Very novel study with some interesting ideas. First, please note that it originates from communist China's military and the universtiy of Illini is a collaborator.
I would guess that the remission of autoimmune attack on insulin producing…"
Capin101 replied to M.'s discussion 'Magic Formula for Pizza?'"Pizza is an eat and test a lot experience. The obvious thing to do that I have trouble with is to limit the amount you eat to lessen the unexpected results. I think a dual wave bolus and crossing your fingers are the best advice. The other big piece…"
Capin101 replied to Sam Iam's discussion 'How much do you pump?'"I am averaging 62.5 units for my TDD over the last month. My high is 77 units and my low is 50 units."
Capin101 replied to DiabeticWarrior's discussion 'Can diabetes cause brain damage or amnesia'"I asked my endo about this about a year ago. She responded something like this. Glucose is the main food for the brain and low BGs can kind of starve your brain and cause injury. Low BGs are something to avoid and repeated severe and long hypos have…"

Natalie ._c- said… - I've been pumping for 12 years, but only discovered TuD and the Flatliners last October. And only started low-carbing at that time as well. I had been told by the professionals that a peak over 200 was OK, as long as it came down. And, given the proper dose of insulin, it DID come down. So, in a way, I'm an old timer, and in a way, I'm a newbie. I DO believe that limiting the excursions is a good way to go, if only because I feel better that way, but when I got my last lipid panel, and it was the best I'd ever had, that went a long way to strengthening my conviction that this is the right thing to do! Hoping for success for you, too! :-)

cristina1180 said… - Hey there...sorry it took me so long to reply. I am hot sure what I will do with my degree yet...hopefully find a job! Lol. I want to go into consulting, which will mean that companies will hire my company on for a specific project such as a new selection or training system or an organizational assessment. With the economy the way it is right now though I will take whatever job I can get.

- Hey, always happy to have a new friend! And Flatliners is the best group on TuD -- even if it should really be called the Crazy Chimps! W00t w00t!

onesaint said… - Thanks for the add Capin! Thanks also for all the kind words on the flatliners group. I really have to hand it to you, your management is great with a normal diet (well, normal D diet) and exercise. Keep the experiments going and keep posting those awesome trends!
