Skye replied to Jen's discussion 'Infusion set allergy'"Ugh, this sounds like my story too, except I dont get hives (yet?), and my sites hurt more than they itch, but the rest of it... unexplained and inconsistent highs, irritated but not infected sites, and it doesn't seem to be the adhesive…"
Skye replied to kristenstep23's discussion 'Medtronic Customer Service. (poor experience)'"I'm sorry you also got their lousy service, but I'm a little bit glad to not be the only one! Over the last 10 years, I'd racked up such a set of ridiculous customer service experiences that I was just about convinced I had bad…"

A group for diabetics who have had this disease for numerous years, who have had enough and are in need of support. This group is for anyone who is becoming burnt out from having to deal with the day to day struggles of living with diabetes.

Maybe if I could eat just a little it would work out okay, but I want half the loaf, and that DOESNT work okay. Giant muffins from the high-brow coffee shop, especially the chocolate…"
Skye replied to dino's discussion 'Are you the chosen one? ... Type 1, that is.'"First, only, and 20 year later, still the only! Not even any known 2s in my family, extended out on either side.
All the cousins on my dad's side have wild allergies- milk, eggs, wheat, beef, pork, shellfish.... And the women on my mom's…"
Skye replied to Heather's discussion 'Help?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"MM and I never got along very well, so for me, the t-slim was a good move. HOWEVER, I was mentally prepared to learn new buttons, not new everything else (refill system, new infusion sets, etc) and so my first few weeks were a little... less than…"
Skye replied to TracyUNCC's discussion 'Any advice on the issues we are having with the TSlim?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"I've only got a few weeks of experience, but here's my 2 cents:
