Jake replied to Carrie J's discussion 'Batteries, tape, IV Prep, oh my!' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"One thing you can do is use the donut technique... basically you use a alcohol or alcohol/CNG wipe, then go over it in a donut shape with SKIN PREP..... leaving a open area for the sensor to be stuck through..."
Amy replied to Carrie J's discussion 'Batteries, tape, IV Prep, oh my!' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"I got my insurance company to pay for the IV prep.

A little about me
I was diagnosed as a type 2 on October 23, 2007 and re-diagnosed as a type 1 on October 8, 2008, it took changing doctors 3 times to finally get one that would listen to me and actually read my test results.
At diagnosis I was 118lbs and 5'8", my A1C was 12.1% and my random glucose reading was 550.
I'm still a little overwhelmed with everything but it gets a little easier everyday. Unfortunately we're 3 hours from anywhere with any sort of in person support but my husband and his family have been fantastic. Between the blogs I've discovered, books I've read and forums like this I'm slowly finding my way.

They were all part of my Sunday.
This is the 4th Sunday in a row that I have got a cramp in my left foot. It's starting to freak me out a bit. It's usually around 10am, and I'm in the kitchen when it starts seizing up and my toes curl and I have to scream for hubs to help me. Only my left foot, never the right. Never at any other time or day. I'm not going in the kitchen next Sunday, at all.
Since it was mild here today, I decided to mow the lawn, or actually mow down… Continue

My Ping and I

I did it!
After an A1C of 8.0, I took the plunge (pun intended)
Now it just needs a cool nickname, so far we have Pingy or Panky, lol.
