The best diabetes bags on the planet

I recently was given a Mountainsmith bag to do a product review on my blog. This bag was so awesome that I asked the company if they could set up a discount for diabetics purchasing their products. They agreed and gave me the code "TDC20" when you check out. This gets you 20% off your purchase. The website is…See More

The Diabetic Camper replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Off the system' in the group OmniPod Users
"Brooklyn the treated me the exact same way. I switched back to my old animas ir1200 because I did not know if a box of pods had 10 bad pods in it or 1 bad pod in it and I paid the same no matter what."

The Diabetic Camper replied to Ellie's discussion 'Liberty Medical Supply?' in the group OmniPod Users
"I have to use them to get my pump supplies. They are horrible. Omnipod does not allow you to turn in bad pods that were purchased from a third party vendor such as insulet. I have switched from omnipod to my old animas ir1200 pump because I have had…"

The Diabetic Camper replied to Adub013's discussion 'RUDE PEOPLE AND RUDE QUESTIONS' in the group OmniPod Users
"I love when people ask me about my pod. When I wear it on my arm I put it on as low as possible just so people will see it. I guess it is the only visible sign of my disease and I love that people don't know what it is. I guess it is my visual…"

The Diabetic Camper replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Off the system' in the group OmniPod Users
"I had bad issues as well with insulet. Since my insurance company is Cigna and I have to use a third party vendor for my pump and pump supplies, Insulet does not warrant their supplies if they have been purchased through a third party vendor. I have…"

The Diabetic Camper commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'
"Ok so I know I am an angry pod user. And I am real hard on insulet and wish for unreasonable customer support and quality product. For a moment I did think I was alone until I looked at the topics for omnipod. Here are the topics of the masses and I…"

The Diabetic Camper commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'
"Jojo in my example the testing is every hour and the problem is that when the bg's doubled they went up fast because for the previous hours you were able to control them with the exercise. And tell me altitude sickness does not come on fast and…"

The Diabetic Camper commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'
"Ok so you test and lets say you are 120. You start gaining elevation and drinking only small amounts of water. You test again in an hour and you are 180 so you take what you think is insulin but is nothing. You planned on a snack but you of course…"

I am a 37 year old kid. Recently I posted about my obsession with a game I created called: "Car Fishing." This car fishing is me getting pictures of odd or even super cars. Dallas has alot of money in it so this game is alot easier than when I was a kid growing up in Oklahoma and just played the pre-cell phone camera game…
