Kat1997 replied to joefcole's discussion 'Insulin Pump Recommendations – Personal Reviews/ Recos?'"I have used Animas, my first pump. I used Omnipod and loved it until all the failures in a row with the pods, not the pdm. I tried Minimed Revel and hated it and the cgm. I have the t:slim and Dexcom G4 and love them both. The t:slim is smaller than…"

Charging can be…"

Kat1997 commented on Jigga's group 'Tandem T:Slim Users'"all is going great with my t:slim, how is everyone else doing?

Kat1997 commented on Sara_Louise's blog post 'i just need to tell someone'"I think it would be helpful if you talk with your parents about your feelings and concerns.

Kat1997 replied to DiabeticMic's discussion 'Motivate Me Please!!!'"my motivation was when i watched my uncle that had type 1 not care about himself enough to take care of his diabetes, sorry if this sound gross, but its true.

Kat1997 commented on Jigga's group 'Tandem T:Slim Users'"I am the first one is our area to be on the t:slim and my team doesnt really know what all the new t:slim supplies are yet. I have the cleo90's and they rotate also, really small and stick very well. I also have to pry them off, with the…"
Kat1997 commented on Jigga's group 'Tandem T:Slim Users'"Janice, ask away. from what i understand the Orbit had a steel cannula, I use the cleo90 with the plastic cannula and i was informed there are only two differences. steel cannula and blue tubing. my butter section in the door holds my insulin…"
Kat1997 commented on Jigga's group 'Tandem T:Slim Users'"Jigga, have u noticed air bubbles while filling the tubing? I have and just make sure that I hold the tubing end up and i dont see them after. How are u doing with the humalog? I am working through some of the faults the pump has and loving it more…"
Kat1997 commented on Jigga's group 'Tandem T:Slim Users'"Jigga: that is just not right, for everyone to use a pump they should test all insulin's due to everyone being different and not everyone can use Humalog/Novalog. Glad the pump is working for you, I will have my questions answered on the 13th."

Open to suggestions for sinus issues, tired of suffering
Posted on March 1, 2012 at 5:26am 8 Comments 0 Likes
Any suggestions for severe allergies? Right now I'm so tired of the itchy watery eyes, major headaches, runny nose, plugged ears, coughing and gagging. The doctors keep telling me to take over the counter crap. I have been for 15 years with no help, how do I control my sugars when I am always so sick?
Any suggestions welcome, I have also tried the tea pot sinus thing and nothing helps.
Stuck in a rut, any suggestions?

Last year my two kids were in an auto accident and my son was killed, i have done everything i can to stay busy. Tons of question keep running through my mind and i…
