Jason Casey commented on Robert Yancey's group 'Type1 for 30 Plus Years'"To Spanishrose9668, I check my BG 10-13 times a day and it is a bit annoying. My best response to 'painful fingers' is use the side of the individual finger, not the tip, and use the outside, left-side on left hand / right-side on right…"
Jason Casey commented on Julie Ann h's blog post 'PDX Diabetes Expo Feb. 11, 2012'"Happy New Year Julie Ann! It is great to hear from you. I am doing well, enjoying my insulin pump and I can really say "I'm enjoying life" too. This lil' black machine (medtrinix insulin pump) is AWESOME! And they fixed my eyes.…"
Jason Casey replied to pryde's discussion 'Getting a Vitrectomy' in the group Diabetics With Eye Problems""All I know is the bleeding won't stop" meant MY eye would not stop bleeding, or become clear enough for vision without my vitrectomy. So far I have noticed none of those horrible "black" spots. During the procedure I…"

It was the best decision in my life because I can SEE. Laser's stooped the bleeding in my right eye. The only issue with the surgery was the side effect of the vitrectomy was a cataract.

Char Berss replied to Jason Casey's discussion 'Best Anxiety Meds?' in the group Diabetics With Anxiety"I have never actually taken anything for my anxiety. I'm on Pristiq for depression, and i think i try to stick with homeopathic remedies for anxiety. In my case, i get an upset stomach with anxiety. If i ever feel a little weird tummy-ness, i…"
Jason Casey replied to Jackie's discussion 'Training?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I was diagnosed in '82, and I've had so many severe low's I can't even count the times I've had 20's or 30's, since Dec. 21 2011 I have not felt I was "getting low", passed out, or met any EMT's.…"
Jason Casey replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'My doctor wants me to switch from the Omnipod to the Revel- anyone else done this?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"My first pump choice was an Omni, but the insurance allowed the Revel and it has been awesome since Dec. 21, 2010, with the exception of 1 occlusion since then. The 'infusion kits' are a bit cumbersome but the freedom and time I have since…"
