SarahB replied to Josephine A Ni Dhomhnaill's discussion 'Flu Vaccine'"My mom used to INSIST I get flu shots every year. I always got sick. Since being an adult and making those decisions for myself, I've stopped getting them, and I've also stopped getting sick."
SarahB replied to Dkinsey's discussion 'What should your A1C levels be when you are thinking of getting pregnant?' in the group Diabetes and Women"Different doctors will tell you different things, but mine has told me it needs to be at 7 or below. One girl I know had her doctor tell her 6. Somewhere between 6 and 7 would be my best guess."
SarahB replied to SarahB's discussion 'New Pump!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I LOVE the Ping. Love it.
The only two problems of note I've come across are that I once got my arm caught in the tubing and pulled it right out (which, you know, was my fault, but at least it didn't hurt like the Medtronic did!) and…"
Howiewho replied to SarahB's discussion 'New Pump!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Congrats to You and Chandler, SarahB . I'm just wondering how you as a new user really likes your Ping . I myself am going to be "hooked up" on the 24 of this month and have been studying so I know as much as possible about the pump.…"
SarahB replied to Krystle's discussion 'Diabetes Retreat in Chicago August 17-19th! *Are you going?' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"I'm going to check into travel accomodations. This sounds really interesting! Is there somewhere that says when things start and end, for flight-planning purposes?"
SarahB replied to Krystle's discussion 'Diabetes Retreat in Chicago August 17-19th! *Are you going?' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"That's. . .kind of amazing.
I'm 27. Am I too old? :0)"
SarahB replied to Krystle's discussion 'Diabetes Retreat in Chicago August 17-19th! *Are you going?' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"It includes accomodations? Does that mean they're paying for people to stay there?"
SarahB replied to KML's discussion 'I'm too OLD! :0(' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"I pulled out my first gray hair at 16.
Just sayin'. :0)"
Barbara replied to SarahB's discussion 'New Pump!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"My AC1 numbers run between 10 and 11. This is great encouragment. Thank you!"
Barbara replied to SarahB's discussion 'New Pump!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Thanks for thinking of me. One of the things I'm worried about is taking my nightly shot of Lantis! I've been in the habit of taking my Lantis before going to bed. I have to get used to always having the pump on me. I know that once I see…"
Brian Wittman replied to SarahB's discussion 'New Pump!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"You are doing well, Sarah. I knew you would. Keep it up!
Brian Wittman"
Brian Wittman replied to SarahB's discussion 'New Pump!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"How are the first few hours of pumping going, Barbara? I remember when I got mine, I kept thinking that I should be taking a shot. I also thought i would be sick from either being high or low, because the initial calculations would be off. I…"
SarahB replied to SarahB's discussion 'New Pump!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I think the greatest encouragement I can give is the A1c numbers I got from my doctor's office yesterday. Three months ago, I was at 10.2, and the number from yesterday was 7.7!
The pump's not a magic cure, you have to work at it, but it…"
Barbara replied to SarahB's discussion 'New Pump!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Hope you are doing great with your pump. I am scheduled for my pump training tomorrow. I find I am very nervous. Just afraid I will be overwhelmed. Would love to get support and be able to share and receive and give encouragement. I do know any Type…"
SarahB replied to A. Kelsey Metcalf's discussion 'Leaving Medtronic' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"I also jumped ship from Medtronic after 12 years. . .thank God!
I went with Animus (the OneTouch Ping) and I really believe that company is everything Medtronic should be. I love my Ping, and since tubing doesn't bother me, I'd definitely…"
