How much should a 9 year old know?

I think you meant to say "I would NOT go into great deal right now". Oops!

What were you Grateful for today?

I am grateful for my blood sugar meter, because it helps me be my best. I am grateful to not be on beef/pork insulin like I was when I started. I am grateful for the sight I still have. I have trou...

MedicAlert vs. other medical ID bracelets?

No one has answered your question yet. Since you are on the pump, the paramedics/doctors will know immediately that you are type 1 diabetic. That is the main concern. I also like that MedicAlert ha...

Does the pump (or diabetes in general) affect your sex life?

I always check my blood sugar before, and sometimes during. I make sure I have something like juice handy, just in case. Checking during spoils the mood, but a decent guy would want you to enjoy yo...

Tanya (Baby Tee) replied to Jim Huck's discussion 'Anyone heard of the Weimar Center of Health and Education?'
My grandfather went there for 6 weeks about 25 years ago. They said he needed a triple bypass surgery before he went. His medical insurance company paid for it. He came back walking about 5 miles a day and eating healthfully. He is still alive and...

Tanya (Baby Tee) replied to SANTI's discussion 'Correcting after a meal?'
Sometimes I check. I will correct, but I will usually check it like a half hour later, and consider the insulin on board. I am not sure it differs with a pump, but for me approx the following amount of humalog is left after injection: 1 hour 90% ...

Tanya (Baby Tee) replied to Kelly's discussion 'How high would you go?'
I eat about 40-50 g of carbs and it probably ranges between 350 and 450 2 hours after a meal. I get checked annually for that thyroiditis you said you had. I have no idea how Canadian healthcare works, I see you are from Calgary, but I would see ...

Tanya (Baby Tee) replied to Kathleen Smith's discussion 'Thanksgiving'
Hey Fellow Type 1 Sacramentan, Definitely take extra insulin if you eat extra carbs. Don't forget, though, with extra protein and fat, it may take the carbs longer to peak. So, keep something (without fat) to raise your sugar quickly, in case you...

Tanya (Baby Tee) replied to Jessie's discussion 'Non-Pumpers'
D for 26 years. I was afraid of: 1. Infection 2. Ripping out the infusion set (I'm a klutz) 3. Malfunction computer. I trust a syringe and vial more than I do the computer to dose me. Now I think: 1. Better blood sugar control. (therefore fewer ...

Navigator Warm Up
For the 10 hour warm up, does that whole time have to be nearly constant blood sugar level? How constant does the blood sugar have to be during the warm up period? I have heard that the blood sugar has to be stable while these sensors warm up. I ...

Tanya (Baby Tee) replied to Cassy's discussion 'Humalog Prices! Insulin shouldnt be this expensive!'
Actually, there are different FDA regulations for patents on biological pharmaceuticals. The examples you sited are not biological drugs. I don't know why they are different, because I don't work in that industry, but they are classified with vacc...

Tanya (Baby Tee) replied to Maria's discussion 'My Vitamin D levels'
I was watching the Dr Oz show, and he said that vitamin D deficiency is caused by us avoiding the sun. He said that getting 10 min of sun 3 days a week is sufficient if you are like Sally Field's complexion. She was on the show and he used her as ...

Dori S replied to Tanya (Baby Tee)'s discussion 'Hot Chocolate Recipe?????'
Tanya, this has been a problem with me because I love a cup of hot chocolate before bed in the winter. If you like almonds I have found that 8 ozs of almond milk with 1 tbs cocoa and 1 tbs sweetner makes a great low carb/low calorie bedtime treat ...

Tanya (Baby Tee) replied to Jack's discussion 'Altitiude Adjustments?' in the group US - Northern California Diabetes
Jack, I don't have a pump, so I can't comment on that. Not sure if you are there in Tahoe yet or not (you said it would be about a year.). I live in Sacto and still have family up in Tahoe. I think insulin seems to work more efficiently, at leas...

Hollie replied to Tanya (Baby Tee)'s discussion 'When do you check your blood sugar?'
I basically check before breakfast. lunch. basketball practice. dinner. bedtime. and if I get to feeling low or high, or if my parents, teachers, or friends tell me too if I start acting funny. I guess I sound like your typical teenager.
