IMVic replied to Mary's Mom's discussion 'Sensor placement with a pre-schooler' in the group Dexcom Users
"Couple thoughts - I know it's hard to get from a pre-schooler (I have a non-diabetic 3 yr old), but what is her real concern (it hurts, I think it's going to hurt, I don't like the lump, etc.) Talk to her as you're putting the…"

IMVic replied to Progress Trumps Perfection's discussion 'Marathon while Sick?' in the group Diabetics who run Marathons!
"If you were having a good taper week you'd feel "off" as well for a few days. See you feel in a couple days. Lots of liquids. Critical to make sure BGs aren't out of whack the last couple days prior to the race. Good luck!"

IMVic replied to katie's discussion 'First Marathon - need advice' in the group Diabetics who run Marathons!
"1). I've used Hammer as well - primary reason no GI problems on long runs. Generation UCAN also has a product that I've used - keeps BGs very stable, though I've used more on longer rides than running. Tend to prefer using what I know…"

IMVic replied to baumanbuilder's discussion 'Resting for the race' in the group Diabetics who run Marathons!
"Good luck - and enjoy the half! I use the "pattern" function on my pump - and have set different patterns for different levels of exercise duration (intensity factored in as well). As I taper off, I increase daily basal insulin rate via…"

IMVic replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Hard to run' in the group Type 1 Runners
"Congrats on the accomplishment - keep after it! Sometimes having a motivator (friend you run with, race you want to complete) in a visible place can help. Consider trying dynamic stretching prior to the workout (google it - and you'll find…"

IMVic replied to KCCO's discussion 'Denied for Dex--A Rant' in the group Dexcom Users
"Had to go through the process 3 times before I was approved - and I had a similar reaction when I was rejected by the insurance company (very similar reasoning was provided). I have several friends who had similar experiences as well (at least 1, if…"

IMVic replied to Ruth's discussion 'Hydration?' in the group Diabetics who run Marathons!
"If you get an Amphipod it also has an option for a pouch that will hold a meter, lancer and strips - and still have room for other "stuff". I do use one occasionally on longer training runs where I want to carry water with me. The Amphipod…"

"You may want to check Missy Foy's website (though not geared toward a half - she does have some tips on training and her race day diabetes strategy), plus some of your local "IN" crowd should be able to provide some insight (Nate…"

Welcome to the family! On this forum you will learn so much. Most of all you will learn that you are not alone. Everyone here is supportive and will provide answers to your questions. Search the site for answers. Read the discussions and blogs for information. There are videos to help you understand diabetes and its treatment. Most of all there is family to talk to and even to vent to, if needed. Welcome home.
