Natalie ._c- replied to Cara1028's discussion 'Medical ID Bracelets' in the group I've Had Diabetes for Over 20yrs!"Well, I had one, and didn't wear it, and went into a coma, and they assumed I was type 2, and couldn't figure out why my BGs wouldn't come down. Lesson learned."
Clare replied to Cara1028's discussion 'Medical ID Bracelets' in the group I've Had Diabetes for Over 20yrs!"I have a medic alert bracelet somewhere, I just don't wear it."

lisa c replied to Cara1028's discussion 'Crazy Numbers!!' in the group Dexcom Users"Kevin, after 2 year with the Dex, I , like you, will often shut the dex down to get some sleep. When its good, its good and when its off, it can drive you crazy. My new reigime for peace of mind is to wear the dex for a week or 2, then go without…"
Cara1028 replied to Annie's discussion 'Who here takes pump breaks?' in the group OmniPod Users"I've been pumping 15 years, 14 years on MM and 1 year on Omnipod,and have never gone back to MDI. In fact, I've been lucky enough that I've never had to even for pump malfunctions and such. I love the freedom and the…"
Cara1028 replied to Lindsay's discussion 'Just Curious, Is there anyone who is generally happy with the Omnipod?' in the group OmniPod Users"I switched from MM to Omnipod about a year ago. I've only had a few problems. In fact, I think it's the best choice I've made regarding my diabetes since going on the pump (like 14 years ago). I am looking forward to the smaller pods…"
KevinMR replied to Cara1028's discussion 'Crazy Numbers!!' in the group Dexcom Users"Those false lows at night are very annoying. Happens more often than I would like. The Dex will read "LOW" with a value in the 30's and then I check it with One Touch and it is normal (matching the way I feel). Sometimes I have to…"
Jeff replied to Cara1028's discussion 'Crazy Numbers!!' in the group Dexcom Users"Mu current sensor woke me up with a loud beep. It informed me that my BG was 35. Seemed a "bit" low so I checked it. It was 150.
Most sensors work ok but lately they have been HORRIBLE. I am sending the data to the agent tomorrow to see if…"
