How's it all going? Do you have any questions or comments?"
Carly commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Animas Insulin Pump Users'"I need words of encouragement... I keep reading about people freaking out over a couple of high BG readings. I've been diabetic for 26 years and have always been up and down w/ my BG. I workout 6 days/week, eat healthy and test my sugars…"
Carly replied to Kelly's discussion 'Random High BG's that Don't Respond to Insulin'"Hi there. I too was getting very high readings at random times. I'm 33 yrs old and have Type One since age 7. I work out 6 days/week and eat super healthy. Couple things I discovered over time: I cannot eat cereal. It makes my sugars go…"
Carly replied to Denys's discussion 'infusion set site'"Lucky you! (For not having fat in your tummy :) Have you tried the inset 30? It's for thinner people. I was using the inset 90 and it left me bruised and sore so I just order the angeled insets and am going to try those. Also, maybe it's…"
Carly replied to Sarah's discussion 'Is this a crack?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Hmmm.... I have the black pump and do not have that marking."
Bug74 replied to Carly's discussion 'Pump Accessories'"Don't forget to check and see if any of these companies mentioned give discounts to tudiabetes members. You can find the discounts in the "Resources" tab."
Bug74 replied to Carly's discussion 'Pump Accessories'"I have done both Spanxs or Assets (cheaper version of Spanxs) and ran the tubing down on inside of these and clipped to inside of thigh with the screen facing/touching thigh. I tried just tucking it in that same spot once and it fell out and was…"
Natalie ._c- replied to Carly's discussion 'Pump Accessories'"I just run the tubing down my leg and coil whatever's left over in the Leg Thing. I still don't like it as much as wearing it on my waist band, but I look terrible in skirts!! So I wear dresses, and just put up with it!"
acidrock23 replied to Carly's discussion 'Pump Accessories'"Well, I use the calf ones b/c they help increase circulation in my calves, which seems to alleviate sore muscles? I would not want to run with the tube on my calf b/c of the tube but the thigh thingy, which I don't use that much on my thigh,…"
Kristin replied to Carly's discussion 'Pump Accessories'"The pump in between my breasts gives me a "third breast look". So I can't get away with that either.
Some women wear it on the side of their bra, underneath their arm pit. I haven't tried that before, but I always imagined that…"
Carly replied to mary ann jacob's discussion 'Bruised' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"iI also have been on the Ping Pump for about a month and bruise like crazy! I'm using the insertion set that goes straight in but I called Animas and asked them to send me sample angled sets. I just received 2 of those from Animas (at no…"
Carly replied to mary ann jacob's discussion 'Bruised' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"HI there. I'm still trying to get used to using this website so hopefully it's okay I join in the conversation. Anyway, how do you remove the infusion set without bruising so much. I am also fair skinned and bruise very badly for a couple…"

Carly replied to Carly's discussion 'Pump Accessories'"I agree with you on the bra thing... I think one would need very large breasts to get away w/ stashing the pump anywhere around that area! Haha.... not me!"
Carly replied to Carly's discussion 'Pump Accessories'"Doesn't the tubing get in the way when you wear the calf thing?"
