RyanD commented on Todd Carey's blog post 'Help, changed my omnipod and have a big lump where it was......'"I recently had a similar problem after taking out my infusion port and it turned out to be cellulitis. I needed antibiotics, and was happy to get them because it resolved the problem in just a few days. I would recommend getting your arm looked at…"
RyanD replied to ambee's discussion 'Should I just not eat carbs at all since my blood sugar always rises high?'"Wow, lots of good questions. I just read "Think Like A Pancreas" and he answers all of these questions and more. But it takes him about 260 pages to do so, so I will not attempt to summarize here. He also has a couple of web sights that…"
RyanD replied to Tikicristi's discussion 'Low-carb diet working but need some advice on dealing w/lows'"Strong work loosing the weight, that's awesome. I agree with Maurie, it sounds like a basal adjustment might need to be made. Your dinner bolus should be gone in 4 hrs so if you are going low after that it most likely is too much basal. That…"
RyanD replied to Tikicristi's discussion 'Losing weight with Type 1'"I have type 1 and pump and have always been very active but was about 25 lbs overweight and couldn't understand why. I exercised more than most I knew but would just build muscle and never loose weight. Then I asked the guy who ran the gym I…"
RyanD replied to Spock's discussion 'Pump Protocal at TSA Screening--what do you do?'"I take my pump off and place it in my carry on.

RyanD replied to Benjamin McLaughlin's discussion 'Problems with ???' in the group Dexcom Users"I have noticed moisture under the transmitter when I get the ???. My first step is to take the transmitter off, wipe the bottom of it with an alcohol swab, and click it back into place. This usually cures the problem."
RyanD replied to Alice Rose's discussion 'Dexcom way off?' in the group Dexcom Users"I recently have had the same experience at night and I think it is related to when I lay on top of the transmitter. My receiver will freak out "LOW" and show a steady line with one outlier down in the teens. When I check my sugar, it is…"
RyanD replied to cyndibug's discussion 'Probably a Silly Question, But....' in the group Dexcom Users"In the dexcom user guide, p. 54 chapter 3.9, they state that when in the start-up period, we should "check every so often to make sure the antenna symbol is in the lower right corner of the trend graphs". This strongly suggests that the…"
RyanD replied to Jigga's discussion 'A.....delecate question...'"Do what works best for you, but understand that that can change. I was a die hard needler, now I use a pump. The real problem is our families. My wife just baked home made chocolate chip cookies for guests, and it is all I can do not to just grab my…"
RyanD replied to Stever's discussion 'Pumps, Medtronic v. Animas'"I have had both the Medtronic and the Animas. The difference for me is the continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The CGM for the medtronic, at least when I had it, was about a quarter sized sea shell that was heavy and flopped around causing all kinds…"
