Mud 5k
Started this discussion. Last reply by MKSSS yesterday. 7 Replies 0 Likes
So I'm really excited. I signed up for my first 5k EVER! It's a "Go Dirty Girl" mud race/obstacle course. I have a few months to prepare, but I've been hitting the gym 4x a week since last summer…Continue

My youngest daughter (pictured as a newborn in my profile pic) just turned three this week and it's also sort of a milestone for me as well. I (who had no diabetes in my family ANYWHERE) was…Continue

ger19wmu replied to MKSSS's discussion 'Mud 5k'"Just found this thread and wanted to add a bit...If you're talking a regular mud run then you are probably good with the aquapac deal and carrying it where you want...(I just ordered one not long ago and have to test it out soon) Big thing is…"
MKSSS replied to AliciaM's discussion 'My not so diagnosis' in the group LADA Diabetics"Yes. I would think that even if they weren't knowledgeable about LADA they would have enough sense to at least know such high bs readings are NOT normal and then refer to endocrinology. Craziness!!!"
MKSSS replied to AliciaM's discussion 'My not so diagnosis' in the group LADA Diabetics"I don't think 144-196 bs after meals is good! Can you get yourself to a Endocrinologist?"
MKSSS replied to jlw62987's discussion 'Help! Experiencing intense hunger after switching from Lantus to basal on pump' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I recently switched to a pump in March and I took/take less lantus/basal insulin than you, but I experienced the same thing when I started the pump. I was afraid I was going to gain 500 lbs that first week! It did subside though after about a week…"
MKSSS replied to Mari_in_France's discussion 'Temporary Basals' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I use mine for exercise. I do hour-long classes at the Y so that makes it simple. About 15 min. prior I set my basal below 50% for an hour or hour and a half. Seems to work great. I still haven't tried square wave or dual bolus yet!"
"I've had the minimed paradigm 722 for 2 years, and I can't live without it, when it failed once, I almost has a meltdown from having to switch back to 7+ shots a day. I always wondered why so many people had trouble adjusting, but then I…"
MKSSS replied to MKSSS's discussion 'New Pump User' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"It mostly is a CDE working with me. She is good, but she is very slow. I think she is used to working mainly with older patients who maybe want a slower-paced training. Sometimes I want to just scream "okay! I get it already!!!" but then…"
Pumper1994 replied to MKSSS's discussion 'New Pump User' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Sounds like you are getting a lot of training! I am not sure why so much by your doctor. Usually MM has a CDE train you for a few hours and gets you setup with changing your sets, setup your basil rates and bolus ratios and go from there.
It may…"
ukikawasaki replied to MKSSS's discussion 'New Pump User' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"The pump will make your life SO much easier and flexible when you get the hang of it ... do be nervous ... on the contrary .... it will make you feel much better and healthier ! .... once you get it ... check out my tutorials on youtube on how to…"
MKSSS replied to MKSSS's discussion 'Square Wave bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I need to better at giving my insulin before I eat. I didn't realize it could take up to 25 min for the insulin to work before I started pumping so I already developed habits giving myself injections. Plus I am usually the one putting the…"
Mari_in_France replied to MKSSS's discussion 'Square Wave bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Those are all good ideas. I use the dual wave when I'm invited out to dinner then I don't forget to bolus, or have to bolus in front of everyone. Maybe it's a little risky not knowing exactly when and what you're going to eat but…"
MKSSS replied to MKSSS's discussion 'Square Wave bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I will try it with pancakes. I do know I've been high 2 hours after eating those."
MKSSS replied to MKSSS's discussion 'Square Wave bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"That sounds delicious!"
MKSSS replied to MKSSS's discussion 'Square Wave bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Thanks Everyone!"

concerning your post on minimed:
just give your body some time to get used to its new BG. I find that with lower blood sugars, I feel less hungry...
good luck!
