Jennifer replied to JGM in SJ MI's discussion 'How do you use the square wave or dual wave for pizza?'"It is a very YDMV type of thing (your diabetes may vary). I dual wave for things like pasta, pizza, etc. Pizza - I have narrowed it down to a 50/50 dual wave over 1 1/5 hours. It is a lot of trial and error and finding out what works best for you."
Emily Coles replied to Jennifer's discussion 'Airport Full Body Scanners and Insulin Pumps'"I always ask for a pat-down instead, just to be safe. So far my experiences with these have been fine and respectful."
PedsRN replied to Jennifer's discussion 'Airport Full Body Scanners and Insulin Pumps'"i just returned from a trip out west and left out of Vegas.

Jennifer replied to savage810's discussion 'What is your personal record for wearing a Dexcom sensor?' in the group Dexcom Users"18 days. I always seitch out at 14 now - because it is usually going to go soon after that."
Jennifer replied to ceraeh13's discussion 'Tonight! Tonight! It's coming Tonight! Tonight! Tonight! Tonight! Hot D@mn, Tonight!' in the group Dexcom Users"Always test before dosing, either for food or correction. Never bolus off of a Dex reading. It can bite you in the a@@. Be patient. There is a big learning curve."
xerox2k2 replied to Jennifer's discussion 'Airport Full Body Scanners and Insulin Pumps'"i have a computer science degree and a background in microelectronics, you are always taught when writing specs to give yourself lots of leeway and never make claims you are not absolutely 100% sure of.
lets say medtronic/animas says it's safe…"
Jennifer replied to Daniel W's discussion 'Bleeding with Dexcom'"Not with Dex, but this did happen when I removed a Silouette set and exactly the same thing happened..I was bleeding a lot and didnt realize it. I was left with an enormous bruise for about four weeks."
Jennifer replied to Chadd's discussion 'Issues with Medtronic MiniMed 723' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"No - no issues. Have been pumping with them for over 2 years now, and not one issue with my 723."

Jennifer replied to Tom's discussion 'Let's educate me about ALCOHOL'"I make sure I have a full stomach when I drink. I do not bolus for any alcohol, craft beer being my choicce beverage.

Hi, Jennifer. I saw your question about the alert limits set for Dexcom, good one! I also read many answers. My doctor told me to set it at 70 - 240. But I changed mine to 90-240 because at 70 I start to feel drowsy. Now I will change my high to 180-200 because it goes up faster.
