Helz replied to Helz's discussion 'my pump has malfunctioned/overdose'"thank you John K. That was my thought at the time exactly "what if"
I am still on MDI - I have been offered a replacement pump since the whole episode and I just won't do it.....I wouldn't feel safe
I am now pregnant and feel…"
John K replied to Helz's discussion 'my pump has malfunctioned/overdose'"Laura,
This is from a Wall Street Journal article/blog talking about the FDA meeting last year:
"Some 375,000 adults with Type 1 diabetes used pumps in 2007 and there were nearly 17,000 reports of health problems over the three years ended in…"
"I get the lawsuit part, since being involved in one with a national bank.
But I would say, boy if that happened to me I would be posting everywhere even anonymously just to make a point about it.... and not just a point but a warning as well. Plus…"
Kelly WPA replied to Helz's discussion 'my pump has malfunctioned/overdose'"Laura, I know from someone else that some of the people that it happened to are involved in a lawsuit and they are not able to speak up about it. One reason that the FDA started cracking down on pump manufacturers is because of the problems with…"
John K replied to Helz's discussion 'my pump has malfunctioned/overdose'"Helz,
What happened to you has happened to many others, it is good that your overdose happened during the daytime. I commend you for letting us know about your experience, and hope that you are have continued success with MDI.
Don't listen to…"
Helz replied to Scott572's discussion 'Possible Apidra Issues'"If the insulin has lost its effectiveness/has over heated or is out of date etc My guess is that it could possibly affect the appearance of it slightly but my advice would always be - if in doubt change the reservoir - using a fresh vial and see if…"
Helz replied to Jake's discussion 'Abbott releases FreeStyle InsuLynx in Europe'"I've just been offered one of these by my PCT - does anyone have any experience of these? I'm quite keen to try it though.....

- Well this weekend wasn't to exciting but the turkey and all was great...Mainly spent watching football and movies with a lot of indiscriminate pie eating. Grin. Moderation out the door. Plus I gotta fatten up for the winter. Hmm that sounds like a good excuse.. Right?
Hope you're weekend was relaxing. How was the band?

- Sounds like you're on point. Especially while on the move doesn’t it make such a difference to avoid those lows and highs.
That Zumba looks like a great workout and sexy too. ;)
Yeah...Saturday between rain clouds I managed to ninja in a bike ride. For exercise the following days I've been walking it. Late Sunday afternoon an arctic front came in and by that evening light snow was falling. Monday snow fell as well. Since then it's been a bit icy with the overnight temperatures dropping into the teens.
Tis to the sun. Rain rain go away, come again another day.
Living in Scotland I’m sure you see more rain than I do in the Northwest. It’s hard taking my dog for walks in the rain. He’s constantly stopping in mid stride to shake off.
What region are you from and did you see any snow today?
Be well,
Ryan A
