Certainly, I think its very…"

Tamagno replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'Tamagno replied to Robyn's discussion 'How many Test Strips do you use in 1 month? Just Curious.'"My prescription is written for six times a day, but as we all know you test a lot more after hypos, so I probably get closer to that 10 times a day many days."
Tamagno replied to hello123's discussion 'does exercise also raise blood sugar in diabetes ?'"I have this pretty regularly, especially after leg workouts. Seems to be more the lifting than cardio that does it. Lately I often have hypos about 4-5 hours later. Spike after lifting is rarely more than 10-20 points, however. My workouts are…"
Tamagno replied to Amy's discussion 'Running the G4 program on a mac?' in the group Dexcom Users"Ditto with the Mac. I bought a small Windows laptop when I got my Omnipod to run their software. Next month I'm getting a G4, but now find it also will not run on Windows 8.
Might try running Win 7 on the laptop that currently has Win 8, but I…"

Tamagno replied to aimeeh2oski's discussion 'What Omnipod reports do you use for your endo appts? Any tips for running reports?' in the group OmniPod Users"I use the Abbott software with the Omnipod extension. It reads the PDM and will generate several reports including the "Logbook" report that pretty much covers everything. In order to e-mail them you've got to save as a PDF file and…"

Tamagno posted a status"It's fascinating to see how many share these problems. It does indeed make me wonder about medicine in general. My state of health was reall"
PatientX commented on Tamagno's blog post 'What is it, really?'"Do you take Lipitor or any statins? I had some of your symptoms and as I pulled back on how much statins I was taking some of those symptoms disappeared. Kidney issues and neuropathy got better. Maybe medicine side effects?"
David (dns) commented on Tamagno's blog post 'Two Years'"Riva Greenberg, who is also a tuD member and who gave an excellent video chat last Friday, has also written extensively on the emotional side of dealing with this disease.

It's been nearly two years now since my original diagnosis.
That story is much like others' replete with the usual misdiagnoses, terrible weight loss and diabetic complications.
At present, my glucose is largely under control thanks to the Omnipod pump that I've been using for about a month.
