Missing the CGM

Ok, so after the 3rd day with the cgm Alexis took a shower and the tape was all bunched up and I decide to take it out instead of trying for another 3 days with the same one. Our trainer came over and downloaded all the info. We were able to see Alexis' trends and saw that the basal is working perfectly at .95 units her carb ratio is 1:14 which is working wonderfully for lunch and dinner but not doing anything for her at breakfast. So we changed her breakfast ratio 1:12 but will probably end up… Continue

About Me

Hi, my name is Lovenny, I'm a 34 yr old mother of 3. Danny 12, Alexis & Kristin 11. Alexis was diagnosed with T1 August 8th, 2007. She's been on the Minimed 722 for about a week now and has been on the cgm for about 2 days. So far so good with both. I'm in the technial field for a large law firm which I've been with for the past 7 years. I love the ocean & enjoy dancing : )

Alexis is on the pump : )

After much anticipation, she's finally hooked up! The Medtronic trainer arrived at 10:30 am and I must say did a wonderful job. Alexis loved her. The training took about 2 1/2 hours (we had completed the pump school training last night) so the the training went pretty smooth. Alexis inserted the site herself using the Quick-serter. According to her, she didn't even feel it. She currently is using the 23" (60 cm) tubing with 6 mm cannula but the trainer suggested we switch to the 9mm one. The onl… Continue

Wow! February has been a busy month for all of you.

Did you see the two announcements this week? The FreeStyle Navigator CGM has been approved AND they're starting trials (very early stage ones) for a possible type 1 cure.

I posted on both of these yesterday:

We are doing good. I know it is great and once you get the hang of it, it is even better.

I read that Alexis got on the pump. Hope she likes it as much as karolynn does.

I can understand the seizures. I had quite a few of them when I was younger, very few and far between now, but I remeber how much my head hurt and what light would do to me after I had one.
Keep going day by day. Since you have been dealing withthe diabetes for about 6 months, it is not going to be a real huge change with the pump, but a pleasent one for sure. I have had just a few problems but hey, I'm dealing with a disease ya know.

When you plan to go to Pocono, take the whole day, you'll need it. LOL The atmosphere around the track and the people, just increadable! And then there is the race! :) (Wear something Orange and you got it made. hehe)

I wish you well

Hello. My daughter was recently dx in June 2007. She is three and I look forward to going to the pump when she gets a little older. Judging by your pictures, it looks like you have a very supportive and fun family. Best Wishes!
