Figuring things out, sorry everyone, it's not that I've been ignoring you, I've just been very preoccupied

I have actually. I do believe it would give me more incentive to test before I eat and since I can bolus from there it would improve my bolus timing. But then it comes back down to wanting a pump that holds more insulin and future prospects from t...

Have you considered upgrading to the Ping? I find it's really easy to bolus for meals.. since I almost always test before I eat (the exception is only when getting seconds, or having dessert, etc), and you can bolus right from the meter-remote wit...

How did you find out about us? What were you searching for?
A friend sent me the link so I thought why not check it out. I'm type 1 induced by steroids that I have to take post kidney transplant (circa 2001 lol), I'm 26, I love tattoos (I have 6), my dogs Minion and Igor are my children, and Reeses peanut butter cups are my secret sin. I'm just looking to connect with people, I am the only diabetic in my family and none of my friends have any experience with it so I am basically alone when it comes to the frustrating life of checking my blood sugar levels, counting carbs, and connecting myself to my pump (Gidgette).
Who referred you? (if anyone)

What do you do for a living?

Interesting

Medtronic CEO talking about new patch pump...

I saw the new nurse practitioner that is now working under my endocrinologist the other day, I didn't get an A1C result back because the lab was slow about getting their results in but I'm pretty sure it hasn't improved yet. I guess my biggest problem is bolusing. I have a bad habit of not bolusing before I eat so I need to work on that and my carb counting. I'… Continue

Survey

I think I may have done something like this before but oh well, lol.

2. I was diagnosed with it in the year: 2001

3. But I had symptoms since: I never had symptoms, at least not that I was aware of before I was diagnosed

4. The biggest adjustment I've had to make is: Remembering to check my bg levels, bolus accordingly, and calculating what I eat

5. Most people assume: Suger will be the death of me

6. The hardest part about mornings are: I don… Continue

Good News!

So my results came back from the biopsy. The small lesions they saw on my MRI were just a small build up of fatty tissue, it's not a tumor or anything cancerous (this just confirms that they would have wanted to do a biopsy anyway). It is causing a very mild inflammation of my liver but nothing serious, it's not cirrhosis. I just need to maintain a healthy weight and not drink a lot of alcohol, which I really don't, I only drink on occasions. My regular physician will follow up on it as time goe… Continue

Home Sweet Home

Well now that our vacation is over I have been on a continuous run around to figure out what is wrong with my body. Apparently it appeared on my ultra sound that there is an abnormal appearance of my liver. They wanted to do a CT Scan with contrast which I did not want to do but it was needed so they called my doctor to see which type of contrast should be used (there's a kind you ingest and a kind they give you through an IV). My doctor responded by saying I shouldn't have contrast because of m… Continue
