Mary Jo replied to JRod's discussion 'Tegaderm or IV3000? I use with medtronic minilink' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"I HIGHLY recommend Opsite Flexifix. About $20 a year. I switched to it from Tagaderm."

Our views about Paula Deen and coming out with type 2 diabetes
"Cristalyn, I commented just before your first comment,, and as a southern type 2 diabetic, also from Baton Rouge and still living here, I can't imagine what your problem is with the video and no, I don't see color when I see diabetes so I…"
JRod replied to Harlee's discussion 'High Blood Sugar During Pregnancy' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"My bg was low in the beginning of my last pregnancy (I too have a 1.5 year old) but this pregnancy has been very different. My numbers were high in the beginning of this pregnancy and my a1c was 9.7 (ouch). Obviously this wasn't a planned…"
JRod replied to Lauren's discussion 'Introducing... Baby Owen!' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Awww sweet baby!!! Congratulations!"
JRod replied to Sharon Fung's discussion 'Breastfeeding and High Blood Glucose Levels' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I felt ok bf'ing if my sugars rose into the lower 200's. Anything higher than 250 I felt like might be too much since that's the number I should be looking for keytones and it might seem silly but in my mind, I'm thinking I…"
JRod replied to Sharon Fung's discussion 'Breastfeeding and High Blood Glucose Levels' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I suggest pump and dump for the supply and demand factor. If I didn't pump, my supply was greatly affected but that's just me, I never produced enough to pump and save unfortunately."
JRod commented on Emily Coles's videoOur views about Paula Deen and coming out with type 2 diabetes
"The problem with Paula Deen coming out 2 years after her diagnosis is that she's made no alterations to her cooking which doesn't make her a good advocate. She has two sons who cook and promote healthy lifestyles and she does not. I hope…"
JRod replied to Muragaki's discussion 'TSA strikes again, Los Angeles International!'"You are absolutely correct. She should have declared her pump. Every bit of literature that comes with your pump says so. I am not defending TSA in the least, they are known idiots but yes she should have told the agent she was wearing a pump."
JRod replied to Sharon Fung's discussion 'Breastfeeding and High Blood Glucose Levels' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I would pump and dump while sugars are that high and use formula just until it's back in a decent range. Babies don't break down sugars as well as adults and it's extra calories for her. Are you able to pump and possibly store some…"
JRod replied to Brianna's discussion 'a1c before/during pregnancy?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I couldn't answer this when it was asked because I was about to take a new A1C but when I got pregnant, my A1C was a whopping 9.7 - yikes!! When I found out I was pregnant, I soon decided to get on an insulin pump because I struggled so much…"
JRod replied to Sharon Fung's discussion 'Natural Birth, Big Baby and Diabetes' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"My best friend had two nearly 11 pound babies she delivered naturally too. However because she does not have diabetes, they were not macrosomic with larger chests like my post diabetes baby. I've had both a vaginal and c-section delivery.…"
JRod replied to JRod's discussion 'Tegaderm or IV3000? I use with medtronic minilink' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"The DME company says it's not covered because it's considered a "wound care" product, not a diabetes product."
hfw replied to JRod's discussion 'Tegaderm or IV3000? I use with medtronic minilink' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"I'm using the IV3000 because my skin reacts horribly to lots of adhesives, even using barrier wipes, but not to this. If your skin isn't particularly sensitive, there are quite a few similar dressings that cost considerably less. Did your…"
JRod replied to Sharon Fung's discussion 'Béibhinn (貝 恆 Bèi Héng) Elaine Chan Fung' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Congratulations! Beautiful healthy baby and what a lovely name!"
mrsksis replied to JRod's discussion 'Tegaderm or IV3000? I use with medtronic minilink' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"I am using the Nextcare/3M tegaderm film. I was able to find them online; 3 boxes of 8 for $29."
