ChicaRossi commented on twiddlemthumbs's group 'VICTOZA'"Day 3 of Victoza for me... I haven't felt much different. I do notice that my portions I can eatt has changed. BUT no side effects like the vomiting and nausea. I do feel full- if that makes sense. My BS are still about the same. How long did…"

Danni replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Hello! As others have said, it is a personal choice. But I will share my experience.
I chose both pumps I've used based on doctor recommendations and my own research. I started off with the OmniPod system, used it for a few years, and hated it.…"
Jeff replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Jay-
Actually, no. (My normal state is mini-mental).
I understand the 12 hour thing (which I selected myself). It is a good interval to use and I have used it for many years. If I have to press a few buttons to make sure that my cognitive powers…"
Jeff replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I know that I can change the number of hours (not sure what the max is) but if I really am in trouble, 12 hours makes for a sensible choice. This morning, I had the same problem. I bolused (sp?) at about 7:30 last night and went to sleep at about…"
jrtpup replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Jeff you can change that setting for not hitting a button for 12 hours, I think it's in advanced settings but check your manual. I can't imagine not using it for 12 hours though.
I fairly frequently don't use the result from the bolus…"
Jay replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Jeff, The things you are complaining about are SAFETY checks built into the Animas Ping. Research the number of court cases filed against Medtronic for harm up to and including one negligent homicide in Washington state.
I have worn a Ping for 3.5…"
Jeff replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Actually, I was forced into it. I wanted the MM pump that I had been using for 8 years. My endo refused to write an Rx for the MM and also refused to give me a single reason why. (Kickback??) With a new doc and even she wondered why I couldn't…"

Brian Wittman replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I love my Animas Ping. I looked at all the pumps available, and quickly realized that each pump had its advantages and disadvantages in the long run. I ruled out the Omnipod because there are many horror stories of bad pods, and some adhesion issues…"
jrtpup replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Yes, it stays put. I used to use skin prep first to help it stick, but forgot once and had no problem. I use only alcohol now.
I use stomach, thighs, arms, love handles, upper butt, and side of breast near my arm pit. Plenty of sites to rotate, and…"
Phil Lindner replied to ChicaRossi's discussion 'New to pump therapy- How did you choose your pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"The cath can be in your stomach area, on your side, upper buttocks area (little hard to get to by yourself). Some people have used their thighs or even their upper arms.
I only had two instances where I got the tubing caught and pulled the cath…"
