smileandnod replied to Danielle's discussion 'Help! High BG'"Hi Danielle, I feel your frustration but you're getting good advice here. The last month was a mess for me too. I agree that it's really stressful and I did the same thing as you - pulled my pod in case it was an absorption issue at the…"

Zoe replied to Danielle's discussion 'Help! High BG'"Our numbers and our management change over time, Danielle. Sometimes we can find out why, sometimes we can't. You were diagnosed a bit over two years ago so you might be coming out of your honeymoon period. Whatever the reason is you need more…"
Danielle posted a discussionHelp! High BG
I've been high the past couple weeks. Eventually I go down but it seems like the insulin isn't fully working or it takes sooo long to act. I tried everything--changing my insulin from Apidra to novolog (thinking maybe it was in my pump for too long). Changed from my omnipod to animas and back again. Changed sites. I mean even eatin a sandwich I just went up to 300s for a little and it's been 3 hrs and I'm finally going down and I had given myself 8 units!!! I raised my basal---help me. This is…See More
Brad Ringer replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom G4 vs Dexcom 7 Plus' in the group Dexcom Users"My G4 goes on Thursday. I scheduled training with my CDE (100% coverd by insurance) for the last day of my last System 7 sensor. I'm going cold turkey. I am looking forward to more accurate results and fewer out of range messages. I just got…"
Natalie ._c- replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom G4 vs Dexcom 7 Plus' in the group Dexcom Users"I've had the G4 for a few months now. Yesterday, I got my first ??? and of course, don't know why, but it resolved itself. For me, it's been very accurate, and I REALLY like that, especially for lows! I hope you enjoy yours just as…"
Danielle replied to MattVT's discussion 'New Pods?' in the group OmniPod Users"How much is it gonna cost to upgrade???"

Danielle added a discussion to the group Dexcom Users
Dexcom G4 vs Dexcom 7 Plus
So I got my G4 in the mail and was so excited I decided to do a little experiment. It makes me look like a walking robot but who cares :)I put the G4 on my thigh (where it is contraindicated from the Dexcom team) and the 7Plus is on my belly on about day 4-5. Please note, I was getting what it seems to be inaccurate readings on and off when I first inserted the Seven Plus--always seems to be that way and then it becomes more accurate around the time about now (day 4-5).First, that already shows…See More

Helmut replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom and Omnipod integration' in the group OmniPod Users"The podcast answers Danielle's question:
There is no plan to ever integrate the Dexcom receiver functionality into the OmniPod PDM.
Insulet and Dexcom are not cooperating on anything anymore.
Insulet pursues a proprietary sensor which is at…"

Seth replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom and Omnipod integration' in the group OmniPod Users"I am not able to forward the report due to all the legal requirements. I would suggest you google this topic and see what comes up. The news was given by Insulet to Stock analysts last week at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference."

Paige said… Hello Danielle!
I'm using Tudiabetes as a way to connect with fellow young adults with diabetes. I'm a University of South Florida student and president of our chapter of "Students with Diabetes." We're hosting a national conference June 1st - 3rd in Tampa and want to bring in as many Type I diabetics (18 - 30yrs) as possible from across the country.
The conference costs $55 dollars total, but we can't pay for your plane ticket (housing, food, & activities like Busch Gardens are, however, included in the price). Please let me know if you are interested in any of this and/or visit our website for more information!
If you're at all interested in any of this, please reach out. I'm easy to get in contact with. :)

I live in the Portland area, so no, not really near Seattle. I'm off at college right now too though! What year are you? I'm a sophomore.
That's awesome about the camp! I used to go to diabetes camp :) Loved it! Never been a counselor though
I see you have the omnipod! How is that?
