Educational MP3 Audios
Started Jul 13, 2011 0 Replies 0 Likes
Does anyone know of any MP3 podcasts that are about 5-25mins long about type 1 diabetes? I have found a ton of them but they are mostly type 2. I am trying to put together a playlist for our school…Continue
Inset tubing Question
Started this discussion. Last reply by Emily Mar 17, 2011. 5 Replies 0 Likes
I got a couple of Inset samples from Animas. I really like that it is all in one package; however, I am really not liking the short tubing... I would like to be able to change colors so I could keep…Continue
Basal Testing
Started this discussion. Last reply by Brunetta Dec 10, 2010. 11 Replies 0 Likes
I have been asked by my endo to do the lovely basal testing again. I have been pumping for almost 9 years, so I have done it before. While I don't mind doing it, she wants me to do it on a "typical…Continue
T1 21+ years and counting...
Started this discussion. Last reply by Tim Nov 29, 2010. 10 Replies 0 Likes
I joined last spring (I think... spring and summer kinda melted together) looking for other diabetics that I could talk/share with. Things got a little crazy between work (I teach high school math)…Continue

Emily replied to smileandnod's discussion 'No Trend Arrows? And Dexcom is ok with that?' in the group Dexcom Users"Yes. It does happen. There is a glitch with the software package that is supposed to be fixed with the newer one (when that gets approved). I use my graph to tell if I'm going up or down. I teach how to graph to high school students so maybe it…"

Does anyone know of any MP3 podcasts that are about 5-25mins long about type 1 diabetes? I have found a ton of them but they are mostly type 2. I am trying to put together a playlist for our school system's new BioMedical Allied Health magnet program. They are going to be using them for the 9th grade students to listen to during the physical education class they have to take. :-)
Emily replied to Katie's discussion 'Travel/ Vacation?' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"That sounds like a plan!"
Emily replied to Kim3's discussion 'Blood?!?! Nervous wreck!!' in the group Dexcom Users"You can pull it and call Dex for a replacement. I had one that was gushing once and they did that. Additionally, I had one that I tried to make work and I had wacky numbers (like off by 100-200) and they told me to pull it and they would replace it."
Emily replied to Jamie's discussion 'Honeymoon phase??' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"Diabetic for 22+yrs... My total basal is 24.000. I average about 70u/day."
Emily replied to Katie's discussion 'Travel/ Vacation?' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"Make sure to bring a large purse. Most places in DC have a "no bag" rule, but they will let you bring in a purse with showing blood testing meter/pump/insulin...
My rule for travel is to bring about 1.5times what I need..."
Emily replied to Sharon (Sneetch by the Beach)'s discussion 'Pseudoephedrine - decongestant. Has anyone taken this and seen any adverse reactions in Blood Sugar?' in the group Dexcom Users"It is perfectly fine. It is in the allergy meds that I take daily.
My issue when I take it in over the counter stuff is that I usually have a cold which does all sorts of icky things to my numbers anyway ;-)"
Emily replied to Sharon (Sneetch by the Beach)'s discussion 'Higher sugars or insulin resistance the week before your cycle?' in the group Diabetes and Women"Yeah. I'm a teacher.... so it depends on the level of stress at the job, too. The increased stress + hormones makes me extremely insulin resistant."
Emily replied to Lukey_1120's discussion 'ummm....question' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"You can try putting hot compresses on it. Just take a "rag" or washcloth and run it under the hottest water you can stand. Put it on the area until it cools. You can repeat every 20minutes, but I usually do it in the morning, after work,…"
Emily replied to olu Oog's discussion 'Blood gushed out while inserting sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I had this happen... Only I kept gushing... I called DexCom and they replaced the sensor. I had a nasty bruise for a couple of weeks."
Emily replied to Michele's discussion 'New Dexcom advice'"You have to wait for the ??? to be there for 3hrs before Dex will replace it.
You can get the ??? if you are rising or dropping really quickly or if you are rubbing the sensor against something (like clothing). Just wait it out... it should go back…"
Emily replied to Nikki K's discussion 'New to Pumping!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Congrats on starting the wonderful pumping journey! I've been in it for 9yrs!
I put my infusion sets in my hip, so I have just started wearing slightly looser pants. Also, most people don't notice it there unless you point it out. I have…"
Emily replied to MI_Dad's discussion 'New PING startup... basal questions' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I have a TDD of about 45-90units (depends on stress level at work). When I change my basals, I do it by about 0.100 units (my basals run between 1.0 and 2.0u/hr). I would expect for you to see a little bit of a difference. However, if she is…"
Emily replied to MI_Dad's discussion 'New PING startup... basal questions' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Looks like the changes you are suggesting make sense. I did not have to change my I:C or correction factor when I started on the pump (YMMV). I use Humalog, so if I am having issues dropping, I start by lowering the basal about an hour before the…"

- Yeah, I know what you mean! I have taught at a community college & worked as a tutor in schools & I just don't understand how a relationship like that gets started. It blows my mind. Being a mentor/friend to kids is a great thing. That's one thing I love about working with children. But, oh boy, the things that are being said at the high school now! Yikes!

- If you are hearing the news about a Louisville teacher getting caught half-naked in a car with a student -- that is at Samantha's high school! Oh boy. This year, it's just one thing after another. But we're almost done with make-up work!

MissKitka said… - Emily,
Your cat looks comfy. My cat friend Miss K looks the same way sometimes. I have been type 1 for 51 years last summer. No complications yet, fingers crossed, and 2 shots a day of mostly 22 hour N Basel with a little R mixed in for fun. I cook 6 days a week for my wife who works and I love to eat. I have pretty well seen it all by now and have been looking after my diabetes by myself since the last time I saw and endo in 1969. Ask anything you want.
Don
