Gary replied to KML's discussion 'Starting the Minimed 723 soon...' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Hi KML, Welcome to our group! I am currently using both MM components and am having issues with air bubbles in the reservoirs. I never had a problem with air bubbles until I upgraded to the 723 Revel. The MM CGM has not been accurate so I cannot…"
Gary replied to Cindy's discussion 'Tubing- switch from Omnipod' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Hi Cindy, I've been pumping for 12 years and absolutely love the freedom of not having to excuse myself to go take an injection. The tubing was a little hurdle that I soon jumped over, you WILL get used to it. From what I've heard, men…"

Gary commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"Thanks for the info alwaystempted. I got my first 4 month supply and still haven't received an EOB or billing yet. It's almost time to re-order and I was trying to budget for it. (I like your online name...!)"

Gary posted a status"Anyone else having trouble with air bubbles in your reservoir? I've been pumping over 10 years and this problem just started."
Gary commented on Nathan's blog post 'CGMS accuracy hiccups'"Nathan, I'm having a LOT of the same hiccups that you're having. I started CGM about a month ago and am starting to wonder if the expense is worth it. I have learned to NOT calibrate more than 2 or 3 times a day, and also not to cal when…"
Gary replied to Timothy's discussion 'Who remembers the old test strips and methods?'"Tim, We used to test urine sugar in the '50s and 60's. The only time blood glucose testing was done was for a dr. visit. You would have a test tube and eye dropper. Put five drops of urine in the test tube, 10 drops of water in, and then…"
Gary commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"Hi Samantha, I wouldn't worry too much about inserting the CGM sensor, sometimes they sting and sometimes they don't, just like a shot. And boy, they are cool! It's amazing to be able to monitor your bg in real time! Good luck with it!"

Keef said… Gary, Unfortunately this is normal. The Pump and the Sensor need to be a s close to each other as possible I find. I also connect the sensor to my leg, but try to keep the pump on the smae side of my body as well, either on a belt clip, or actually inside my pocket. I have cut a small hole in my pants pockets to do this.

Marie B said… I sort of remember Painton, I saw David Parke for my retinas, although by that time, I'd had the thousands of lasers. we lived on Air Depot Blvd near Lake Arcadia. for some reason, we bought this huge house for just the two of us and our dog. It was sheer craziness and now we refer to that time of our lives as when we were abducted by aliens. in 200 we sold the house and moved to Norman. In 2001 my husband was laid off and after Sept 11, we moved to NJ where we are now. (my husband is from NJ)
