Biedronk replied to Melissa Price's discussion 'Minimum Basal Level still too much' in the group OmniPod Users"What you describe sounds like MODY type3: mild, passed through generation but usually easy to control and very responsive to sulfonylurea. I am not a fan of sulfonulurea in general but in this group of patients it hits the target as it seems that…"
Melissa Price replied to Melissa Price's discussion 'Minimum Basal Level still too much' in the group OmniPod Users"Thank you so much for your post. I was on NPH 2x/day(intermediate act) when pregnant and after pregnancy, I was switched to Lantus (long) act. I did not like it, since I thought there was a definite peak where I would go love (but I could never…"
Melissa Price replied to Melissa Price's discussion 'Minimum Basal Level still too much' in the group OmniPod Users"I tried this, but it did not seem to work since i was not able to reduce the minimum basal rate. Every hour (unless I suspend all together), a minimum of .05 units is given and it will not give less. I think the OmniPod is a truly amazing pump. I…"
Biedronk replied to Melissa Price's discussion 'Minimum Basal Level still too much' in the group OmniPod Users"I was hoping that by now you will have way more answers and there will be no point of me posting. First of all one would question your diagnosis. I even don’t want to go there. Let’s assume that this is well confirmed, you may have one…"
FHS replied to Melissa Price's discussion 'Minimum Basal Level still too much' in the group OmniPod Users"Can you clarify something?
Your minimum basal rate is less that .05 u/hr continuously over 24 hours? In other words, if you basal test over 24 hours, you'll program in .05 u/hr for any given block of time and still go low 1 to 3 hours later?"
jla replied to Melissa Price's discussion 'Minimum Basal Level still too much' in the group OmniPod Users"Have you tried using temporary basal and reducing the basal rate by up to about -90%? I'm not sure that would work but it might be worth a try. I would be greatly unhappy to go back to anything else than my O'pod."
Melissa Price added a discussion to the group OmniPod Users
Minimum Basal Level still too much
Hi - Two years ago, I was taken off my OmniPod after 2 1/2 great years of use. I refuse to go on a pump with tubes, but the minimum .05/hr basal rate is too much for me (i have LADA or MODY with secondary insulin function). Some of the pumps with tubes have .025/hr basal rate, but I do not want to use one of those! I have been doing MDI for the past 20 months. Ugh is all I can say. I am busy with work and raising my three young boys. Does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the basal level…See More

ajbaum replied to Melissa Price's discussion 'Accutane and Type 1 Diabetes'"I took Accutane in the mid nineties. 94 or 95 I think when I was 16 or 17. I developed LADA when I was 32. No real family history of diabetes, just a few distant relatives with T1, Great Aunts on each side of my family so the predisposition may have…"
JLemon replied to Melissa Price's discussion 'Accutane and Type 1 Diabetes'"Just came across this post as I was Googling connections between Accutane and Type 1 diabetes. I cannot believe the number of people that have been diagnosed with Type 1 after taking this medication. I took Accutane for six months, starting Dec.…"
Melissa Price replied to Kelly Collins's discussion 'US revealed Twins' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Congrats on the twins! I actually did not reduce carbs (but cut out chaos carbs) and I ate and ate and ate and took insulin, as much as I needed to take through my pump throughout my entire pregnancy. I had a good contact with another T1 who had had…"
Melissa Price replied to Kelly Collins's discussion 'More misinformation by the general public' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"hi - technically, we have T1 with increased insulin resistance during pregnancy so it is a time when you have T1 with gestational T2 diabetes at the same time! I was initially diagnosed as GD in my first pregnancy, then told a week later (after GAD…"

MelissaBL said… - Hey, Melissa. (Great name, btw.) I noticed that you're still using the default "welcome - upload your photo" hand image as your profile image. If you'd like to add some kind of picture to be your profile photo, look for the "Settings" link in the upper right portion of each page (next to the little silver gears). The very first option in Settings will walk you through changing your profile image. Good luck!

Margaret said… - Hi Melissa,
I am also a member of this group and a Type 1 Diabetic. I thought you might be interested in meeting other Type 1s and wanted to let you know that I am the organizer of a meetup group called G.A.T.E.-Gastroparesis And Type1 Diabetes Exchange.
It is for Type 1s as well as for those with Gastroparesis and their caregivers. You can have either condition separately and don't need to have both to join. It is a support and activities group for people with similar conditions to interact, network, participate in discussions, ask questions, share experiences, or to vent frustrations. I will also have guest speakers periodically.
This is a new group that will meet in Union City on the third Sunday of each month starting May 17. If you would like to learn more, please check us out
G.A.T.E. website:
http://www.meetup.com/Type1Diabetes-GP-SupportGroup/
I hope you will consider joining us for a future meeting.
Thanks,
Margaret
