JiMMy replied to Ahmad's discussion 'Protein Shakes anyone!?' in the group TuDiabetes Weight Loss Team"At GNC and the Vitamin Shoppe I've found good Protein powders. I don't remember the brands but several have very low to no carbs.
After a workout it's I've read (and done myself) to have about 15g of Protein and 10g of carbs. I…"
Timothy replied to JiMMy's discussion 'What length of tubing for my pump - new user' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"I definitely prefer the short tubing. It prevents the pump from hitting the ground if you drop it, and I just end up having to wind the excess tubing around my pump.I am 6'3 and still prefer the short ones. I have never had a need for longer…"
JiMMy left a comment for sherims1"This is my first pump. I was on injections before. But wanted to go to the pump because I travel so much and have started increasing my mileage running as well. On injections I was having too many lows and hard to manage. Now on the pump I'm so…"
JiMMy replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"I ordered the black one and received it last week. I really like it. But be careful on removing it as the plastic can stretch a bit. But the good news is I bent it back into shape a bit and all is good. Everybody wants me to remove it when they find…"
JiMMy replied to Amy's discussion 'In order for medicaid to pay for the G4, I have to go through a test' in the group Dexcom Users"Hi Amy. I had to do the same thing as well with the PCIP Insurance.

flipper replied to JiMMy's discussion 'What do I need now that I'm getting the pump???' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"Hi Jimmy, I just started on my t:Slim about three days ago. It seems to be easily programmed and easy to bolus. I've been pumping for a long time and am on my 5th pump. You probably using much less insulin now that you're on the pump. I…"
JiMMy replied to Amy M's discussion 'Dexcom G4 Training' in the group Dexcom Users"I just read the instructions. It was very simple as far as I'm concerned. But it all depends on who you are as well. I'm a techie guy. So I just dove right in and got going on it. But if it was someone like my mother she would need direct…"
JiMMy replied to Libby's discussion 'G4 Sensor failure' in the group Dexcom Users"I would restart it as well. I've had it fail on me on the old Dex7 version. And a restart worked almost every time.

sherims1 replied to JiMMy's discussion 'What do I need now that I'm getting the pump???' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"Also, my ratio is a bit low than most. I am 1 unit nuvolog per 15 carbs. Is the TSLIM still a good choice?"
sherims1 replied to JiMMy's discussion 'What do I need now that I'm getting the pump???' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"How are you liking your TSLIM? I am to get it next week. ;)"
JiMMy commented on Jigga's group 'Tandem T:Slim Users'"brandi - It's about $5600 I think from when I asked earlier in the year. That's the pump and supplies for the first 90 days."

Magic said… - Hi Jimmy
I ideally morning readings should be between 80-100 a little higher isnt the end of the world, the best way to get those down is maybe some early morning cardio, as nothing beats getting your metabolsim boosted, but maybe a little more long acting insulin the previous night, you are on some pretty hefty doasges so take it slow maybe a unit or two at a time --- good luck with your endo, I just went to a new one this week the first time in 4 years I get to see someone not employed by the BOP to treat me , and she made me feel like I was back inside... yikes ,
