Nicole Olie replied to Kiminee's discussion 'Infusion problems after exercise' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I used to have that problem with a silhouette style set when I used it in my thigh. I found that if the cannula went in too deep so that it rested in a muscle, it would kink like that when I would run. Sometimes the kink was so restrictive to the…"

Infusion problems after exercise
Anyone have problems with their infusion set after an exercise class like turbo kick boxing, or a lot of ab work? 2 time this week my sugars were running high after cardio classes( which never happens) and I changed the set and the cannula was bent. Thanks KimSee More
Romanova replied to Kiminee's discussion 'CGM Settings' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Yeah, I have my low set to 90 since it runs about 20 minutes behind. That has worked really well for me."
Scott E replied to Kiminee's discussion 'CGM Settings' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"My high alarm is set for 170 during the day and 140 overnight. My theory is that I shouldn't have any postprandial spikes overnight so my BG should stay below 140. My low alarm is set for 80 all the time.
High repeat is set to 1 hour, low…"
Linda B replied to Kiminee's discussion 'CGM Settings' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I have my high alarm set at 160. I do not always correct when I see the alarm. I make a decision based on how long it's been since I ate and what I ate. If the 160 seems like the peak of the high based on the graph I won't do anything. If…"

Question for the CGM users. What to you set your high glucose alarm at and how long for the snooze. I think I might have my settings to low and then I tend to over correctand bottoming out. just wondering what most people set their snooze and high settings at on the CGM. Thanks KimSee More

Kiminee replied to Suzi M's discussion 'Any Type 1 CrossFitters who Wear Pumps?' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Im not crossfitting right now but have in the past. I would not recommend taking off your pump because later you'll not have enough insulin on board. Weight lifting tends to raise bs vs cardio seems to make it drop. There are many belts/cases…"
Sweet Lady replied to Kiminee's discussion 'vacations and water activities' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"After many years of shots, I got my first pump about 10 years ago. I ruined 3 of them on vacations before I made the decision not to wear a pump in water. Instead, I bring a small ice pack to put in my beach bag. Then I remove the pump and put it…"
Cher replied to Kiminee's discussion 'vacations and water activities' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Hi

Kate's Mom replied to Kiminee's discussion 'vacations and water activities' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Funny you should ask! We are planning a trip to the Bahamas and will be staying at a resort with water park etc. My T1 daughter wants to do everything and I am trying to figure out how to manage it all. First, we will go CGM free part of the trip so…"
David C Weisberg replied to Kiminee's discussion 'vacations and water activities' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Last time i went snorkeling, i left my pump suspended on tne dive boat for two hours with no problem.

Samantha RIley replied to Kiminee's discussion 'vacations and water activities' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Happy to see this posted because I was just wondering the same thing. I just switched from Omniod to MM...I definitely love my MM, but with the tube I have the water issue too. I haven't experimented with injecting my basals, I'm afraid I…"
Heather replied to Kiminee's discussion 'vacations and water activities' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Hi Kim, I struggled with this too while on my honeymoon in Hawaii. I would take a small bolus before I disconnected to go in the water. If I knew I would be out for 1 hr, 2hrs or whatnot I would bolus just about what my basal amount would be for…"
