Thanks to all of you who gave me the confidence to travel across the world for the first time as a pumper! I had the best time ever! (I go once a year to visit my son and family) Airports were my…Continue

Hey Guys! Please help me! I've been pumping for less than a year and I love it! I'm going to visit my T1 son Mark who is anxious to see it in action. I could just expound on its virtues, but we know…Continue

Judith replied to Cindy's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein Asks for Help' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"I have been thinking about this discussion a lot, albeit still a little foggily. There were two incidents in relation to my recent surgery that underlined the uphill battle and make me admire The Good Doctor even more----and wonder how he has had…"
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"Yes Rick, I do that routine. I also toggle between 7000 ft ele and sea level, which never mattered. Imho it was the 35,000 ft flights over and over that I can only think caused problems with my open vial."
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"Thanks so much for caring and helping me get this thing right. Yes, I do go thru the fill, push out bubbles, fill, tap out bubbles routine. And I've done well for the first 6 mos of my pump life, I only got into bubble land on my trip and…"
Rick M replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"i live where at 3300 ft and then travel to the other side of the state where its sea level. it causes bubbles sometimes but when you make your reservoir dont you push the insulin back and forth into the bottle and out of the bottle to remove air? i…"
AustinMom replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"I'm glad you came up with a probable answer to your bubble problem. I don't know what technique you use to fill your cartridge, but we treat my son's the same as if we were preparing an injection, i.e. fill the cartride, flick to get…"
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"RESOLUTION!After multiple attempts to fill the reservoir carefully without bubbles remaining, I was about to tear my hair out and throw the pump away when a lightbulb went off. The insulin vials I was using had been flying with me up and down on six…"
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"I really appreciate hearing of your experience, even with a different pump. A few weeks ago I had big delivery problems. First it was a leaking reservoir and then big bubbles. MM was great about sending me new infusion sets. I didn't cause the…"
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"I've been having champagne bubbles + longer ones for a couple of weeks now. I conclude it's pilot error. I am rereading the instructions now to see where I may have gotten a little cavalier lately. I'm not the most savvy pump user…"
AustinMom replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"My son uses the Ping, so the function might be different than for the Medtronic. For his pump, we would go to the priming function that he uses when we do a site/cartridge change. I'm not certain, but I don't think this would affect IOB…"
earthling replied to Cindy's discussion 'SINGAPORE REPORT'"Yeah. Travel is totally hard. I kind of dread it even though I love the idea of it. I go in two weeks on a 4 day trip to a lovely resort in the Sawtooth mtns... for an annual board meeting (husband is vice-chair) Last time I went was before I was on…"
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion 'SINGAPORE REPORT'"Thanks so much! Yeah, the USB drop was a bummer, but your idea about replacing their form with your own info is amazing! The form is too long and too much is irrevelant. I think just emergency contacts and insulin amts should be enuf... oh, and meds…"
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion 'bubbles'"Thanks, when you say 'prime it out', I don't know if you mean the bolus function or the set up function. If I use the bolus function, wouldn't that screw up my insulin on board for further calculations?"
earthling replied to Cindy's discussion 'SINGAPORE REPORT'"Thanks for the update Cindy. Good to hear your trip was a wonderful time!
Too bad about the usb thing breaking, though. That's crazy. I'll be extra careful not to drop the one I got. Unless of course I keel over and hit the floor - when…"
