Homeschooling and Diabetes
Are you a Homeschooling parent and have a child with diabetes? Or perhaps you are a Homeschooled student or Parent with Diabetes. Here is a place to share your sorrows and joys of the ups and downs of not only homeschooling, but homeschooling with diabetes!
MarysMom commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"Hi Dooie, I used to use the Decom for my daughter until we switched her to the Medtronic. I liked the Dexcom much, much better for her because you don't have to change the sensor as frequently, and it was much easier to insert. As far as…"
MarysMom replied to PaulK's discussion 'I Think I'm Finally Getting a Pump' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"Hi Paul, Wonderful for you. My daughter was diagnosed 5 years ago (the day after Christmas). We started off with shots and worked our way to a pump. We never regret that move. My husband's brother has been a T1 for about 30 years also. He was…"

MarysMom replied to Cher's discussion 'Want to get rid of omnipod'"I will NEVER go back to the Omnipod for our daughter. We switched to the minimed because her new insurance would not cover it. What I thought was a disaster and an earth shattering moment turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We love the minimed.…"
MarysMom commented on MarysMom's group 'Homeschooling and Diabetes'"HI everyone! Thanks for your recent posts. It's good to hear from you all. I just posted my first video on Youtube. Mary got a new meter that links to her pump so I put a demonstration on Youtube about it.…"

MarysMom commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"FYI - I just uploaded a video on youtube for our new Contour Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfpN3x0cC4o. You can get an idea of what it looks like and how it compares to the One Touch."
MarysMom commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"I like the color on the screen also - it's a far cry better than the one touch. Try checking your child's sugar at night with a meter that doesn't light up. The Contour Link is well worth it just for that fact alone!"
MarysMom commented on MarysMom's group 'Homeschooling and Diabetes'"Hello everyone. It's been a long while since I posted. We have been back to grind now since mid August. Mary's Oct. 1 A1c reflected a bad report. It was 9.1. NOT good! It was discovered she is not bolusing. The Dr. told me there seems to…"

Mary's A1C report was great this time!
Posted on December 8, 2011 at 10:53am 2 Comments 1 Like
Today Mary had her Endo appt. 3 months ago her A1C was 8.9. Today she was 7.4!! I'm really happy. I attribute a lot of it to switching from Omnipod to Mimimed, but to be fair, she did have some serious lows too. The Doctor made a few small changes to her basals and IC ratio. Other than that she is doing great!!!
