"Thanks everyone for letting me know what works for you. The other thing I'm wondering about is the tubing...how do you keep it out of the way?"

lisa c replied to etta amy's discussion 'Yoga with a CGM...and a pump' in the group Yoga with a CGM"i just keep pump clipped on side in pant and move it as needed. The CGM sits alongside my mat. I often leve it in my bag if its one of those alarm crazy days."
"In the past, I did what swedishfish does, put my pump in a baby sock and pinned it in my sports bra. Now, I wear my Animas clipped to my pants. I do inversions, twists, backbends, everything with it there. I do move it around depending on what we…"
swedishfish replied to etta amy's discussion 'Yoga with a CGM...and a pump' in the group Yoga with a CGM"I always tuck my pump into a toddler sock and then put it in my exercise bra. That way it is not in the way when you are doing any twisting or bending poses."

etta amy replied to Jaybear's discussion 'Where have you tried the sensor other than the abdomen?' in the group Dexcom Users"It's important not to put it where you'll be sleeping on it. The pressure messes up the readings."
etta amy replied to Jaybear's discussion 'Where have you tried the sensor other than the abdomen?' in the group Dexcom Users"I really like the arm too. I usually put it halfway between my armpit and my elbow cause there's a little more "meat" there. I just go from one arm to the other."
etta amy replied to Tobiwan's discussion 'problem with confidence in Contour readings (or lack of)' in the group Bayer ContourUSB Users"I totally agree. My prior insurer required that I use a Bayer brand meter. In the past, my insurer covered One Touch strips and they were way more accurate. I am very diligent about hand washing before finger sticking. Despite that, I get widely…"

Marilyn said… - I'll be traveling to Seattle, WA in the coming week from California with very little money and I'm not too familiar with Washington. I'm trying to find free or cheap places to sleep. Does anyone want to make some new friends? Could you let us couch surf? Me and my husband are very open minded, friendly, fun. We will be forever grateful. We are leaving on the greyhound bus on December 2nd. I've been a type 1 diabetic since I was 9 years old..taking lots of insulin along with me. I'm also learning to play drums! Also, any recommendations on places we should visit? Thanks

- I love how the article says "great rock-n-roll dance music from the 50's to the 80's--- a play list that stretched from Elvis Presley to Elvis Costello." This is exactly the niche of music I have listened to my entire life.
Thank you for sharing the article with me :)

- Wow, you are right. I do not find many folks that know who The Jam are (unless they are from England of course). They are one of my favorite bands.
Hope you are having a wonderful start to your week!

- Thanks for the add Etta. Looks like you and I have a lot in common. Both of us were diagnosed during the 1980's and both use the Dexcom system! :)

FatCatAnna said… - Etta - Just read your response to "How Many Carbs Do You Eat ...". You wrote exactly what I was thinking as I went thru' some of the thread of the discussion. We are all different! BTW, I'm a Type 1 diabetic of 42 years, and I'm hoping to one day be part of Dr. Faustmans Research guinea pigs! Anything to help in figuring out how to stop diabetes - I'll be a part of!
Take care - and stay healthy!

Rich De Vries said… - Hi Etta,
My endo is Dr K. Gross at the Polyclinic on Broadway. He was previously at VMMC but left about two years ago. I have been very pleased working with him and the support he gives.
I have also been a part of the original DCCT study and the continuing follow-up study EDIC. I have occassionally met with Dr Hirsch at UW but my main Dr is Dr Gross.

Gerri said… - Thanks for passing on the Dr. F virtual hug. I've seen interviews. What an incredible woman!. She's charming & delightful, in addition to her brains & conviction.

- Glad you didn't tell anyone I wrote it. Don't want to be a plagiarizer:)
Agree with you about Dr. Faustman. She's a pure scientist & certainly not involved for money, though I hope fame & fortune are hers for her efforts. She'd get my vote for a Nobel Prize. What's so exciting & hopeful is that it is an existing, safe & tested drug. My comments & others in that discussion were directed at those who don't want a cure to keep us as cash cows.
Wish I could meet Dr. F to hug her for her work.
