On the 30th, my family and I spent the weekend in Pittsburgh. I disconnected from my Ping (her name is Priscilla) and went swimming with my little cousins. After we were in the pool, we warmed up in…Continue

When i was diagnosed in college, my sugar spike like crazy during my engineering degree. Sometimes i would be super prepared for a test and i would still fail since i would go in an extreme emotional anxiety. After…"

"I have neuropathy in both feet, so hot tubs are a no no. I do go to the beach in the summer and I take all the pump stuff off for a few hours. I just fingerstick more often to be safe. Of course back in the room I quickly shower to remove salt and…"
"Stress makes me high and shopping makes me really low too! The stress I can understand, but I walk everywhere and it never goes as low as it does while shopping....and here I thought I was going crazy!! Thanks for sharing!"
Bradford replied to Haytraut's discussion 'Hot Tubs and Pump Sites'"I would agree with the overbandage ideas that others have suggested. I would also recommend prepping with skin-tac wipes, especially if you know in advance about a time when you're going to be active in the water/hot tub soon. I use it before…"
christy replied to Haytraut's discussion 'Hot Tubs and Pump Sites'"Works great in the shower for me. I think if u really want to secrure an infusion site or cgm site the FlexFix OpSite tape is the way to go."
AustinMom replied to Haytraut's discussion 'Hot Tubs and Pump Sites'"For swimming and hot-tubbing, we cover my son's sites with a Tegaderm bandage (available at Walgreens or CVS) and cut a little slit where the tubing attaches to the site. In the summer, he can keep a Tegaderm on for 3 days despite sweating and…"
"Thanks for the advice. I was really concerned about when I kayak. I did not want to give up kayaking because of my pump. I have never actually gotten my Ping wet. I am a little apprehensive because my educator told me that yes it is waterproof, but…"
"At my high school, it is protocol that a substitute nurse attends every field trip with me. For public schools (In PA), it is required or can be requested. I thought that it was a joke and was pretty offended because I thought my school district did…"
acidrock23 replied to Haytraut's discussion 'Hot Tubs and Pump Sites'"There's this stuff called FlexFixOpSite tape that is pretty strong stuff and did a very good job holding my CGM to me running in heat last summer? I haven't tried it in the shower but, on the really hot days, I'd come home and use a…"

- I was diagnosed freshman year in high school. It was extremely hard to accept my disease. To be honest, I hate my disease...but I deal with it. I am an athlete. I play volleyball, basketball and run track. I am also a secret theatre and art geek. My diabetes has caused in impact on my daily life. I finally understand that diabetes is a part of my life and will always be (until we find a cure). I do not limit myself on what I can and can not do. I keep on reaching for the stars and my diabetes is not going to get in the way of any of my goals, it will tag along though.

Stress=High BS? Shopping=Lows?
Posted on December 29, 2011 at 9:45am 4 Comments 1 Like
My parents are divorced. They have been since I was eight. When I go to my Dad's house on the weekends, my blood sugar spikes. I think it is because of stress and anxiety. The same thing happens in my Spanish class because the teacher stresses me out. What can I do to prevent the highs? When I go shopping, my BSs drop, but EVERY time I am in Abercrombie, it drops rather low (50-60s). I don't know if its because of the loud music or the 'rush'. Any advice? Thanks!!
