Does anyone have experience using their chest as an infusion site? I injected for 38 years, and never considered injecting in my chest. I had enough real estate in my stomach, legs, arms and butt.…Continue

I remember reading about Bobby Clarke, back in his playing days in the NHL. He'd drink jugs of orange juice before a game, and at each intermission to keep his blood sugars up. He wanted fast carbs…Continue

It happens. It's not like I wear a sign to remind them. I don't mind if people offer me something sugary just to be polite. I can always decline their offer. But, yeah, if I kept…"

christy replied to Chris Miller's discussion 'Infusion Site in Chest'"No I havent tried it...but it sounds kinda I dont know not somewhere I'd want to inject myself at. Kinda has an OUCH factor to it."
Brian (bsc) replied to Chris Miller's discussion 'Infusion Site in Chest'"As a guy, your back might be a better site, it has a lot more fat. You will have to enlist a partner for that adventure to be successful."
Chris Miller posted a discussionInfusion Site in Chest
Does anyone have experience using their chest as an infusion site? I injected for 38 years, and never considered injecting in my chest. I had enough real estate in my stomach, legs, arms and butt. But I know some women try this. Also, I've also heard of a male skier trying it, and he's 4% body fat, not fleshy in the chest area.Any experience with this? Any recommendations?See More
Chris Miller replied to Habsfan55's discussion 'Insulin Injections'"The finger pokes with lancets hurt more than any needle. I was injecting for 38 years, first with syringes, then pen needles, until finally starting on an insulin pump in July."

Weight Loss
Posted on April 15, 2012 at 10:08am 4 Comments 0 Likes
As a challenge for Health Seeker, a Facebook application for diabetics, I am seeking a weight loss buddy.
As a bit of personal history, I am 41 years old, diagnosed with Type 1 38 years ago. I take multiple injections daily, but hope to go on a pump soon. I am 5'9" and at my heaviest was 193 pounds. Around 185 has been my norm the past couple years. I used to drink a lot of beer, and dropped to 175 in 6 weeks just by quitting drinking.
I'd like to get below 160. I think a…

Get Your Test On! Where else can you make a donation without taking money out of your pocket?
The 2012 Big Blue Test has started! Between now and the end of the day on November 14th, do the Big Blue Test every day to help us reach our goal of 20,000 entries.
Let your TuD friends, and family/friends/co-workers know about the Big Blue Test. If they don't have diabetes, they can still take the Big Blue Test every day WITHOUT testing their BG.
Every time YOU do the Big Blue Test the program sponsor (Roche Diabetes Care, makers of ACCU-CHEK® diabetes products and services) donates $5 to support organizations that help people with diabetes in need.
If you've never taken the Big Blue Test before, it's really easy. All you have to do is:
Test your blood glucose.
Get active for 14-20 minutes (or whatever you can do).
Test again.
Share the results on BigBlueTest.org
Come back every day and tell others!
(If you don't have diabetes, you can still take the Big Blue Test every day. You just don't need to worry about testing your blood glucose.)Share your results in our Big Blue Test discussionif you wish.
Thanks :)
