I'd love to hear ideas/tips from those of you wearing a pump and have achieved weight loss. I was diagnosed in 97 and since then can't seem to lose weight successfully. Any…Continue

JohnG replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"There's a possibility you can get it to work if you have the high end 32 bit version
of Win7 buy running in the XP virtual mode but your computer will need to have a chip
that can run in the virtual mode and you will need to be verycomputer…"
educatedfarmwife replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"I have carelink...but have a new laptop with windows 7 and it doesn't work yet on windows 7....do you know anything about a patch or upgrade from Minimed??"
JohnG replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"The ratio is calculated on a regular balanced diet if your low carbing your basal side
will almost always be higher than the bolus side of your ratio. If your pump is working good and
no more than about 10% of you bolus insulin is used for…"
Elizabeth S. replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"I'm in the same situation as most of you on this discussion. Trying to lose weight, balancing insulin, food, exercise, etc...a lot of work for us! I am on the pump and thankfully it stores a lot of information in that little guy. I use between…"
JohnG replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"I assume your using a MM pump. If you go to utility's and daily totals you will see what your
ratio is for every day. Also in your Carelink reports your TDD is broken down in two category's
basal and bolus showing the ratio.
My basal…"
educatedfarmwife replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"Gerrri,
I've noticed that when I have pro. shake (11 carbs) or a snack of cheese cubes, my bg's go up a while after eating. Do you know the time factor it takes for a body to break down protein? Trying to figure out a good setting for my…"
educatedfarmwife replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"I'd like to know more about the pump settings 50%/50% too....can you share? If I low carb, what is a good ratio of bolus to basal?"
"So, if I cut down on my carb intake, the insulin I take will work better?
Also what is this 50/50 % you mentioned. I'm not aware of this.
Weight watchers is a good plan?
Loving all this information and help."
Emily F replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"Hey Educated,
I have a Weight Watchers program at my work, and it has worked SUPER well for me. I think the regular rules for weight loss (like for non-diabetic people) still apply, but the reduction of total insulin is huge for us. What really…"
"Good information, thanks."
Gerri replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"Hi Bek,
About 58% of protein turns to glucose, but at a slower rate than carbs, of course. A small percentage of fat also eventually turns to glucose. As cells in the body break down (a constant occurrence), additional glucose enters the blood…"
Bek replied to educatedfarmwife's discussion 'Weight Loss, Type I, on a pump'"I hear a lot of people praising low-carb diets for helping to control BS levels and insulin intake, and I do agree that it can be helpful if done right, but if you try that route, be cautious. Listen to how your body reacts because it knows better…"
