solobaricsrock replied to Henry's discussion 'Infusion set comparison'"The intent was for running, swimming, cycling, or whatever. HOWEVER, active in bed can get just as "physical" and (depending on how kinky it gets) that can be a plus or a minus concerning sets. I will leave the rest to imagination.

solobaricsrock replied to Henry's discussion 'Infusion set comparison'"I use QuickSets, and have tried a Mio.....Both work well for me.

Anne said… - Hi Henry, How are you managing? Do you find you can steer your diabetes in the direction you choose now? Worry about my diabetes control doesn't pursue my life now, my control is so much better... I now trust this gadget helps me. Monitoring my diet is becoming a fine tuned art...makes me realize how complacent I'd become on injections. My niece calls it my 'Ironman thing' and I kinda like that concept. Hope its working for you too! All the best!
