As for the Pod, I have to say that I have returned to my old "workhorse" the Medtronics Paradigm...

Max Thames replied to Max Thames's discussion 'Charcot, Marie, Tooth Disease'"I'm sorry to hear that you're facing amputation but there are days that I wonder if that [amputation] might provide more relief than keeping feet that are so painful in so many ways. Mine burn, feel like they are going to explode, feel…"
Max Thames replied to Max Thames's discussion 'Charcot, Marie, Tooth Disease'"It's a pretty miserable affliction. I'm disabled now and on Social Security. Charcot's is very debilitating. My right foot has totally collapsed and my left is always in jeopardy. All the bones in my right are broken and a couple of…"

Katsz replied to Max Thames's discussion 'Charcot, Marie, Tooth Disease'"OOps...sorry not anything to do with teeth! Just googled it!!!"
Jaclyn replied to Max Thames's discussion 'Charcot, Marie, Tooth Disease'"It's actually a form of neuropathy, and the "Tooth" in the name is after the name of a person, not your teeth.

Katsz replied to Max Thames's discussion 'Charcot, Marie, Tooth Disease'"What is it? My 15 yr. old has braces and is lousy at remembering to brush his teeth... he is great at taking care of his diabetes...just not his teeth. They just gave him a perscription for a mouth rinse cuz his gums are getting bad."

I have Charcot's and I would be happy to talk to anyone that may be suffering as I am..... Sometimes it's nice to speak to someone who is in your "shoes" l.o.l. But seriously folks, I'm not making light of a terrible complication of diabetes. However, a sense of humor is essential to dealing with diabetes or it's associated complications."honk if you have Charcot's"MaxSee More
Avanti replied to Max Thames's discussion 'OmniPod System'"I hope they do as it is not as much about getting extra 4 hrs, but the convenience that will help create a fixed routine. We are trying to stick to 8:00 AM, 4:00 PM, and Midnight schedule as much as possible.
We always end up wasting 20 - 30 units…"
Lorraine replied to Max Thames's discussion 'OmniPod System'"When we first started (over 2 years ago), we were told by an Insulet rep that new Pods would have a 12 hour grace period. That has never happened, but perhaps the new release that we keep hearing about will have it."

Never let things come between yourself and your brothers and sisters. Nothing is more important than their companionship and love. I wish I had taken the aforementioned advice with my brothers.
My relationship with my my late wife of 35 years caused the separation and coupled with the passing of our mom, we went our separate ways. Now my oldest brother is 68, my middle brother is 62, and I am 58. I should have worked harder to settle things so that I could have had more good years… Continue
