Leigh commented on Leigh's group 'Diabetic Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome'"I had another episode a couple of weeks ago. I guess this is the last one since my last post in Aug/Oct of 2012. It started in the morning, I called my husband home from work by noon, and we were at the ER by 1pm. It was pretty awful. My blood…"
Leigh commented on Rob's group 'Dexcom Users'"I just got approved for the Dexcom. Yay! I'm changing from the mini-med CGM. I am a mac user. I understand that this only works with a PC. Is this true? Are there any mac users out there that can plug in the unit and download data to show…"

Leigh replied to E. Louise's discussion 'Any Minimed and Dexcom G4 users?' in the group Dexcom Users"By "combination" you mean the Paradigm and the Dexcom?"
Leigh commented on Rob's group 'Dexcom Users'"Hello! I am new to this group. I don't have a Dexcom yet. I'm in the process of seeing if I get approved by my insurance. But I had lots of frustrations with my sensor from Minimed, and my doctor uses a Dexcom and really likes it. So I was…"

I am finally coming out of my shell here on tudiabetes. The real reason I joined a long time ago, but held back from telling my story. I'm shy. Here goes:
I've been throwing up a lot and it's put me in the hospital quite a bit over the last 2 years. No doctor wanted to diagnose anything. They did minimal tests and ignored figuring it out, and only wanted to get me to stop throwing up and get me out of there.

- Was checking out the Inked forum and saw your post. I see that you're a roller girl...I work with a lady who does some stuff with the roller girls here in St. Louis, and she's been wanting me to try it out. Do you find it hard to keep yourself under control when you're doing it? Just curious. Thanks! =)
