Geoffrey Steinman commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"Minimed will immediately replace a cracked pump because it affects the waterproof rating of the pump - if water happens to get in through a crack, it can have unpredictable results on the sensitive electronics. I have had the cracking issue with my…"
Geoffrey Steinman replied to Erika's discussion 'Lost Sensor on day 5' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"you can also get weak signal/lost sensor alerts if the sensor itself is pulling out. nothing you can do at that point but put in a new sensor."
Geoffrey Steinman replied to Rebel50's discussion 'Denied CGM with 723 pump' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"the key phrase my endo put in my letter of medical necessity was "has had low blood glucose episodes which, on at least one occasion, required assistance from another individual"
now, the definition of the word "required" is up…"
Geoffrey Steinman commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"the CGM doesn't need to be replaced every year - the warranty just lasts for 1 year. My experience with the CGM transmitter was that it lasted about 18 months (wearing a sensor almost constantly). When i got a new one, the old transmitter was…"

Geoffrey Steinman replied to Tim Woodruff's discussion 'New FreeStyle test strips'"thanks for the heads-up!
what did Abbott have to say when you called them?"
Geoffrey Steinman replied to ilana's discussion 'How much insulin do you take?'"For me, it varies. my basal rate is normally around 35u/day, and depending on my activity level and how much i'm eating, i might take anywhere from 20-40u for bolus. I'm a bit insulin-resistant, and i've had type 1 for 6+ years.
And…"
Candace replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Mio, Minimed's newest infusion set' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I feel the same way about wearing my sets on the backs of my arms, legs etc! One day in school, I had it on my arm and had on a short sleeve shirt. This one guy in my class was standing behind me and asked "Whats that, an IV?" In a way he…"
Candace replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Mio, Minimed's newest infusion set' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"This is exactly why I ordered a box just to have around! I keep one in the car, in my locker at school, my backpack, purse, etc etc! It is pretty indestructable too, because it is in the durable little plastic case. It is definetely better than…"
Candace replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Mio, Minimed's newest infusion set' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I have been using 9mm sets with the Quick Set (and tried the Mio) but I want to use the Mio again. I am on the site now, and they only have the 6mm. Is it okay for me to use these, what are the differences in shorter cannulas? By the way, I am not…"
Geoffrey Steinman replied to Jennifer's discussion 'Pumping and on Prednisone'"i always just do temp basals - no reason you should be adjusting your i:c, though, and any steroids will spike your BG levels.
If you are on steroids regularly, you could set up a secondary basal rate to use when on them, or just figure out what %…"

Cathy McConkey said… - a lot of hard work and effort. We keep a spreadsheet and have every blood sugar, every carb, every insulin dose recorded since diagnosis. We review and evaluate all the time. We change his basal when needed, change his carb ratio daily and through out the day based on many things. Our entire day revolves around John's eating, dosing, checking, etc.
all that being said, he's been really sick lately with upper respiratory stuff and the meds have totally smacked us in the head. We have still worked just as hard, but today's A1C was 6.9. Still within normal limits, but up from where it was. I expected it. Was disappointed, but not surprised.
