"Duane...What is UHC's reason for not wanting to cover the Contour Next strips? I've just switched over to the Contour Next USB, but haven't picked up the strips from the pharmacy. I had used the Accu-Chek Compact Plus for quite a few…"

Doretta Reily replied to Josh's discussion 'Anyone switching Bayer Contour Next?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users
Doretta Reily commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Accu-Chek Users'"I've used an Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter for the past few years. It's a great meter, since it's all-in-one. But I just learned that the test strips cost has increased roughly $45 in a single month.
At first, I assumed the price…"

Type1 for 30 Plus Years
For those who've had Type 1 diabetes for a long time. I don't really care how long. Just long.
Doretta Reily replied to Heather's discussion 'Problems?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've used Medtronic insulin pumps for about 11 years now, and I've never had any kind of pump malfunction. Yes, I have had bad sites, but that's not the pump. That's simply me, due to scar tissue in some spots. Of course, in…"
Doretta Reily replied to Stuart's discussion 'Glucagon Obsession, how come???' in the group Hypoglycemic Experiences"Yes, it *is* a huge needle. But family members have substituted a regular insulin syringe, once the glucagon is mixed. And it works just as well. It's much easier for them, and also for me.
I would assume that the multi-step process of mixing…"

Elizabeth S. said… - Doretta, your various comments on the CGM has been very helpful to me as I learn how to best use it without getting too frustrated. I got it in May and some days I love it, but it seems that I hate it more days. This past week has been amazing. Near perfect accuracy!! I think my thighs get better readings and I am getting better at calibrating. I also have been frustrated with how many times I am checking my blood. I used to check 4-5 times a day and now I am checking around 15 times...Which is okay in itself, but for a lot of times I felt like I was doing all of the CGMs work. Anyways, thank you for advice to everyone!! :)
