Hey, why…"
Jim Devlin replied to David's discussion 'Pancreas Transplant'"Hypoglycemic Unawareness was a huge problem for me until I received the CGM 2.5 years ago. I'm still unaware, but the CGM's alert signal has made this condition insignificant. I still maintain the CGM is the best diabetes advancement since…"
type3mom replied to David's discussion 'Pancreas Transplant'"Yeah and much cuter, too. I know that is not the type of input OP is looking for, but was just wondering if he'd tried this sort of route before opting for a transplant. I imagine he has considered all options."
Cora replied to David's discussion 'Pancreas Transplant'"Wow, 14 days. You are just a baby aren't you? lol Anyway, the first year is filled with paranoia - germs, drugs, etc. But that will fade and you will learn what to do. As I said, if you have problems with the drugs, they can switch you to…"

Cora replied to David's discussion 'Pancreas Transplant'"Those are all listed side effects, but are not common. And if they begin to happen, they will switch you to another drug. 8 years ago I began to get damage from one of my drugs on my transplanted kidney. They switched my meds and I have been fine…"

Swing Shift
Posted on May 26, 2009 at 2:26pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Am I the only one out there that works a swing shift .
I work 4 12 hour shifts- 6pm to 6am -off a few days .Then start 6am to 6pm.
It has gotten easier since I started on my omnipod.
I think its the 4 or 5 hours of sleep you get on night shift.
that mess with BS the most I try to eat the same thing at the same time though.
I have found that in the moring when i get up and test I may be 98 .
Good right so I dont eat and try to wake up . I will test again later… Continue
