do your emotions fluctuate with your blood sugar?
Anger and extreme irritability are the prevailing emotions that people see when I'm high (although can be when I'm low too). My husband knows, and sometimes he'll ask ask me if I need to test, which…

Injecting through clothing?
Just bring a little bottle of hydrogen peroxide for the blood stains, it fizzes up and *poof*, you'll be good to go! Pre-pump I always injected through clothing. When questioned by those who cared a…

Do you always bring backup supplies for your pump?
I almost always bring back up supplies with me as part of my kit. I keep limited extra supplies in my kit - insulin, syringe, and infusion set in addition to the meter and strips. I also keep back up…

Magic said… - Hi
Thanks for the input, I have reduced the nph, and also the short acting humalog, my feeling is that the infection that I ve been dealing with was at one time over powering in my body , is now fading as a result of the IV therapy Im taking, thus the amount of insulin needed is not the same for when the infection was kicking my butt, so Im just reducing doses across the board and watching my sugars closely

- Hi Jamie
I see that you have a wide range of information on using different pumps, I ve been a type 1 for 26 years, and well would always look to new ways that would give me tighter control, Im currently taking humalog and Nph which require seperate shots, as they do not mix, so Im taking 6, 7 shots a day, unfortunately my insurance only covers insulin, not the pump, any suggestions to get on pump therapy, one solution is I can try and qualify for a pell grant , as a benefit of the grant they provide insurance which I think would cover the pump, any input is appreciated..

We so many of them. I love old telephones and have been collecting candlestick phones for a while. I have been thinking about the same thing but don't have much room!!!

FatCatAnna said… - I hear you on the learning curve with the Animas. I had originally been on on the Medtronic Paradigm 522, but was only test driving. After 4 months of learning how to use the pump (all on my own - no English educators here in Montreal) - I told them I was going on holidays (cruise). They asked for the pump back - toot sweet. After 4 months I was addicted to the pump (40 years of MDI was so not cool for me anymore ). So, I called up Animas, told them of my decision, and within 3 days had a pump to take on my holidays 2 days later. I had to LEARN how to use it during my holidays, but I found it very easy compared to the MM (find the Animas screen easier on my eyes). Oops, just noticed the darn pic I took from photobucket below is now gone. Not liking Photobucket lately for pictures - you post them - then BING - gone in 20 seconds (isn't there a movie of that title).

Hey Jamie - just commented to a blog of yours about your endo troubles. Came to your page to see abit more about you - and you're an Animas pumper like myself. That is one thing you are very lucky to have in Ontario - is the pumping program. This is one of my reasons for moving back to Ontario when I retire (7 years) - as currently here in QC - unless you have private work insurance - you pay for a pump out of your pocket. I have quite a few friends in the Ottawa area that are now on pumps due to your program as well (I grew up in Ottawa).
Anyway, hang in there, and hope your new job is going well. It's always that first 3 months at a new job, where we "try" not to take any time off for medical appointments.
