What Color?

I am going to be getting the new Revel pump from Medtronic and I am wondering what color your pump is? Is there another color you wish you had gotten? Any regrets of colors? I think the choices of my…Continue

M replied to KNelson's discussion 'Honemooners!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"diagnosed in February this year. on a pump/CGM since April.
honeymooning in a very sporadic way, good/bad days, difficult to tell them apart.
in the DiaPep277 study... so, who knows?
basal .175 u/h
but i use about 1/3 - 1/2 of the insulin as i did…"
Kristin replied to KNelson's discussion 'Honemooners!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"It's hard to compare basal rates as it is so different from person to person before and after the honeymoon phase. My rates are still less that 1 unit per hour throughout the day, but they used to be a lot lower during the honeymoon phase. I…"
Kate's Mom replied to KNelson's discussion 'Honemooners!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"My daughter was dx's Dec. 2010 and we have not been told that she is out of her honeymoon stage. She's been on the pump since May 2011. Her basal rates are 1 unit or less throughout the day.
Pump and cgm have definitely helped!"
Kristin replied to KNelson's discussion 'Honemooners!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I think that the length of the honeymoon partly depends on how you were diagnosed (and probably on a lot of other factors). I was diagnosed in the ER, probably after almost a year of having high blood sugars and not realizing it. So my honeymoon…"
SatansValet replied to KNelson's discussion 'Honemooners!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've been a type 1 for 2 years and on the pump for 9 months, my basal was .6 of Humalog an hour, which just recently went up to .65 an hour. My last blood work showed my insulin production to be juuuuust outside normal range (on the low side,…"

Honemooners!!
I'm still in the Honeymoon stage and I am in the process of getting the pump for the second time. I know one other person who is still in this stage and on the pump. I am wondering how long have you been honeymooning? Or how long DID you honeymoon? What were your basal rates? Did the pump help you elongate your honeymoon stage? I know there is no definite way of knowing that, but did you think it helped you adjust more to your body and diabetic needs?Thanks! KatieSee More
KNelson replied to Keef's discussion 'Medical Equipment Hacks' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've heard a lot about this and somewhere on this site there is another post saying that medtronic is seriously investigating this. I've read that it's only been possible to suspend the pump (still dangerous but not as bad) and that…"
KNelson replied to T1Forever's discussion 'How often do you visit your Endo or CDE?'"Can I ask why the Endo assists with the low bone density? I recently hurt my foot and the Doc said that I had low bone density and I am at a lost for what to do about it. I'm lactose intolerant and have been for 6 years so I think that may have…"
KNelson replied to T1Forever's discussion 'How often do you visit your Endo or CDE?'"I was diagnosed in December and on Insulin in February (I was misdiagnosed by my PCP for the first few months). I started going to the Endo in February and I am in love with the education and the support so I go about every month, sometimes more for…"
