"A month ago today, in fact I was preparing to go to the airport for a 5 day trip. I was a new pump routine and took the the most conservative option to assure I wouldn't likely go low while checking in and going through TSA. Didn't feel…"

NorCal T1 replied to Zoe's discussion 'Contact Detach' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"When I was in the endo's office recently, the nurse was checking for scar tissue, found some sites and had me feel them. She said, feel that? Yeah, I said "frozen peas". She smiled and agreed that's what they feel like. Just have…"
NorCal T1 replied to Zoe's discussion 'Contact Detach' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"No it doesn't always happen Zoe, but it is not uncommon for me. I do have to be careful since I have some scar tissue development in less than a year of pumping (I know, oh joy!). If I get a clean spot, 3 days aren't a problem.…"
NorCal T1 replied to Zoe's discussion 'Contact Detach' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"No need for the fill the canula step. One item to note, Zoe. My CDE has advised to change out the Contact/Detach after two days, instead of three. While it doesn't make sense that the steel needle would cause a problem sooner, it can. I'm…"
NorCal T1 replied to Jeff Dempsey's discussion 'Animas Ping Release date guesses for USA' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"If we're talking about the Vibe, I had a meeting with the Animas Sr. Nurse consultant several weeks ago and the subject came up. She told me it is likely to come out in the first six months of 2014 in the US."
NorCal T1 replied to Zoe's discussion 'Meet Dulce!'"Not only both in northern California and type 1's, but cat people too! After years without a cat in the house, I've had two (brother and sister) for just over 10 years now. They were a feral pair, so it took time to get them to adjust to…"

NorCal T1 commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Animas Insulin Pump Users'"My rule of thumb is to order when you open your last box. That way you'll have about a month +/- to work it out if there are any problems. Wishing you better luck in the morning."
NorCal T1 replied to awg0681's discussion 'Infusion Set Changes'"That's right and I just changed 4 hours ago and no discomfort at all. I share your concern that it would be a problem, but I haven't experienced many problems at all."
NorCal T1 replied to awg0681's discussion 'Infusion Set Changes'"I'm a relative newby having been pumping now for 4 months. I started off with the Inset and the first few times worked fine. Then my numbers started to skyrocket and I was changing sets and self doubting my decision. I decided to request the…"
NorCal T1 replied to Kelly's discussion 'Eating healthy on the go!'"My CDE told me to be really boring and stay close to home for the first week or so when adjusting to the pump. It takes some time to see how your body reacts to the pump as opposed to MDI. Use good judgement and keep close tabs on your carb counts…"
NorCal T1 replied to Mama Kate's discussion 'looking for someone like me'"I'm 57 and nearly 9 months into this new life style. If I've learned anything it's you need to take every little bit of information as to how your body reacts to food, insulin, activity, etc. and then use that only as a guide for the…"
NorCal T1 replied to Zoe's discussion 'My Lula'"From a fellow northern CA cat person to another, my thoughts are with you. It's amazing the love and companionship that cats give us. As other have said, take your time to morn and adjust. You've told her story beautifully and know that…"
NorCal T1 replied to Spock's discussion 'Pump Protocal at TSA Screening--what do you do?'"Zoe, pretty much anything you hand to a TSA agent will be run through the xray machine. While I'm certainly not a fan of the "pat down", it's the only option we've got to keep our equipment safe."
