iBG Star?
Started this discussion. Last reply by acidrock23 Nov 3, 2012. 2 Replies 0 Likes
Is anyone using the iBGstar? I saw a demo at a conference last month and was really intrigued. I have stuck with the Medtronic pump in part because it integrates with my meter, but I think the ease…Continue

Has anyone noticed trouble logging on to the ADA boards. I am a very infrequent poster there, but did want to post something. I am getting a message that authorization failed. I probably haven't…Continue

Does anyone know what happened to udiabetes.com? It was a great resource and I miss it. :(

Kim replied to Bobby's discussion 'What is the longest distance you have walked?'"The longest without stopping was a half marathon last fall (13.1 miles). I set my pump at 10% basal but still kept going low. I brought a backpack with lots of glucose tabs and a couple of apples. I also had some Gu that they were giving away. This…"
Kim replied to Marge's discussion 'Unusal Alarm on Medtronic MM Revel pump'"I agree with Karen. Medtronic's customer service personnel are always very helpful. They will probably be able to solve your problem immediately, and if not will most likely send a new pump."
Kim replied to Stephanie's discussion 'Flying!'"I don't use liquids for my hypos, so I just take several tubes of glucose tabs. Much smaller and less bulky for me. I put my pump supplies, lancets, insulin, etc. in a small cosmetics case which I remove from my carry on and send through xray…"
Kim replied to Christel's discussion 'White House Petition to Standardize TSA Screenings For Diabetic Persons Wearing Devices'"So, in asking that the White House standardize TSA screeinings for diabetic persons wearing devices, are we requesting a new set of standards, or are we asking that all TSA officers follow the current standards as written?"
Kim replied to Zoe's discussion 'Test Happy Doctors'"I forgot to add that the anesthesiologist let me wear my pump during the procedure. I called my endocrinologist's office around the time I scheduled the colonoscopy, and they gave me guidance about adjusting my basals prep day and night and the…"
Kim replied to Zoe's discussion 'Test Happy Doctors'"Michael Jackson--interesting reference! I'm sure you'll talk with your anesthesiologist/CRNA beforehand, and that he or she will make sure that your IV has no dextrose. I made him aware of my starting blood sugar and he promised to check…"
Kim replied to Zoe's discussion 'Test Happy Doctors'"I've had three colonoscopies with different preps each time. Everyone is different, but I prefer a combination of liquid and pills. I mixed the liquid with Diet Sprite once and Crystal Light the other time. I don't like either of those,…"
Kim replied to Benjamin McLaughlin's discussion 'Basal Rate Differentiation'"12AM=.3U/hr; 3AM=.45U/hr; 7AM=.25U/hr; 4PM=.35U/hr, so not a lot of variability but it certainly makes a difference. I have an exercise pattern which is approximately 50% basal. Depending on the exercise, I normally run that basal from 1-2 hours…"
Kim replied to Annabella's discussion 'How do you uncoil your tubing?'"Me too. I have the Medtronic."
Kim replied to tyler's discussion 'Chic -Fil -A problem ??'"I cannot eat anything fried, no matter how much insulin I take. Fortunately, I have never been a big fan of fried food."
Kim replied to Zoe's discussion 'Good News for Apidra Users'"Does anyone out there use Apidra in their pump?"
Kim replied to Lil d's discussion 'Type one diagnosis after age 40?'"Type 1 at age 49 with a strong family history of Type 1 (including a couple diagnosed in their 30's),but no Type 2. I really thought I was too old, but fortunately my primary care doctor knew better, and started me on insulin right away. I feel…"
Kim replied to LiL MaMa's discussion 'Insulin Pumps- How long have you worn one? Malfunction risk?'"I've had Medtronic pumps since 2008, no malfunctions."
Kim replied to elizabeth.redman178's discussion 'Not eating everything.'"Glucose tablets work for me when I feel too full but know I have to eat something to prevent a low."
acidrock23 replied to Kim's discussion 'iBG Star?'"I was sort of miffed when I learned that the CGM didn't use the linked meter but it didn't take me that long to get used to not using it. I like the idea of having a meter linked to something that will interpret the data a bit more than…"
