Matthew Yarbrough commented on cherie's blog post 'Allergic to all Diabetic Medicne'"Sorry to hear about your allergy issues. Have you really tired every diabetes drug? There are so many not sure some one could really go thru them all in 6 years. Have you tried porcine or bovine insulin (from pig or cow)? Have you been allergy…"

Dexcom Users
For users of a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring ("CGM") deviceJust as a reminder with the recent release of the new Dexcom G4 to the US market--it is NOT okay to post about previous models or older sensors as being 'for sale' on this site.It is a violation of the Terms of Use because it is a prescription device, and any such efforts will unfortunately be removed.We encourage you to donate supplies to non-profits such as the Charles Ray III Diabetes Association (…See More
Matthew Yarbrough replied to jaredsmom's discussion 'Recommendations on Pump?'"Hi, I have used both Minimed (722) and Omnipod. I am currently using the Omnipod. The biggest argument I hear against the omnipod is the pod failure rate. All pump brands fail how ever Insult (the company that produces omnipod) produces well over a…"
Matthew Yarbrough replied to Rae's discussion 'Jury Duty ugh....'"Contact the court clerk and talk to them. If you are on a pump, the noise and distraction may preclude from serving. It is really up to the judge and what he or she is willing allow in the room. So contact the clerks office to see."

During my last Endo visit I asked for an antibody test just because I was curious and I wanted to know before my daughter was born (spent week in ICU , Fall of 2006, with DKA when I was dxed and there was never an antibody test run). Well this morning I go the results I have antibodies and I have left the T2 camp. I had always hoped that with enough exercise and weight loss that my diabetes would go into remission for a while maybe even years. Now I know that will not happen. I am worried for… Continue
If you change your spark plugs (in the mode of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie)

If you decide to change your spark plugs then you must go and buy the plugs and wires,
Once you buy the plugs and wires you will find you need to remove the intake manifold and throttle body assembly.
As you remover the intake manifold you will need to remove the vacuum hoses.
Once you remover the vacuum hoses you will find some are dry rotted or have been chewed by rodents.
So back to the parts store for new hoses and vacuum fittings…
