Suzanne, the Neosporin WAS causing me huge skin problems. I should have listened to you! It is still a problem, my hand, but it's not so red any more. No more neosporin for me!

Well the techniques you showed me have been very helpful. I'm giving the links you showed me to my diabetes educator so she can use them to help other parents. Thanks a lot!

Thank you thank you thank you! The new reservoirs should be here tomorrow and we're set up in a meeting with the educator to try this again. Fingers crossed that the problem will be solved.

Thanks so much for linking to that video - I had been told by the Medtronic tech how to degas the vial and had attempted to do so, but the explanation on the vid is so much clearer! I'll try it again once we have our new reservoirs.

Taking Care of Yourself...

Hello everyone!
