Natalie ._c- replied to Kiyel686's discussion 'T1 and pumps'"I've been on the pump for 12 years, and I would never go back to injections if I could help it. I used to leave the house without my insulin all the time, mostly because I thought I would be home for my meal. And then a friend would suggest…"
Kiyel686 replied to Kiyel686's discussion 'T1 and pumps'"I ordered the demo version of the Omnipod and put it on Thursday night and wore it for 3 days like it said to and the site hurt.

Its currently 10.1 but I think I might still wait at least a little while just to be on the safe side. And Jeska,…"

MossDog replied to Kiyel686's discussion 'tattoos and diabetes'"When I got my tattoo my control was anybody's guess since I did not go to the doc and at that point.

Pastelpainter replied to Kiyel686's discussion 'foods that make your blood sugars high'"I can't eat peanuts and I find the 100% peanut butter affects me too. Peanuts are a legume like lentils not a nut."
Kari replied to Kiyel686's discussion 'foods that make your blood sugars high'"With BWW you have to keep in mind that their sauces are very sweet. (Many are around 10 grams of carbs for just one tablespoon of sauce). Their boneless wings are breaded, which adds quite a bit of carbs as well. And their wings are high in protein…"
