Anyone switch CGMS "brands"?
I had this lost reception issue once (coincidentally, my OmniPod had a kink in the cannula and was leaking insulin. I woke up in the middle of the night, threw up, tested, and was at 361). I had my...

Anyone switch CGMS "brands"?
I did a MM trial with my doctor's office and hated it. Needle/sensor hurt like hell going in and coming out, plus they had to put a giant shower patch over it so it wouldn't get knocked off or get ...

lane jaeckle santos said… - Hello-
We started a new Pennsylvania specific group (http://tudiabetes.com/group/pennsylvaniadiabetics)
And- I was thinking that eventually we should have a philly meet up for all us at TuD.
Maybe Bowling for Blood Sugars? Get together, socialize, test, and try to see who can most closely match blood sugar value with bowling score. Winner gets... something to be determined.
Happy Wednesday, guys- I hope your sugars behave today.

conor sheehan said… - Hi Faye, hows everything with you? I hope you're doing well with the diabetes. Ijust joined yesterday and that was the first time i heard of the pod. I think we're way behind here in Ireland. Im using the pens and i know a few people here who still have to carry the bottles of needles and the big old syringes.

Danny said… - Hi Faye, Yes I bet it was hard going back east after getig married in Newport. I have been to one weeding (on a boat) in Newport and thought it was truly amazing. My sister lived in that area for 20 years so it's like a second home to me.
Hey, in your last picture.... your husband is wearing a pod? I am assuming he has type 1 diabetes as well?

Stacey said… - Hi Faye thanks for your comment....when you spoke with them were you speaking as an HMO or PPO/POS client?
I'm wondering if bc I'm on the HMO they say no bc Dexcom is "out of network" and MM bc they have a contract are "in network"
But if there is any way I can get my Dex covered I'd be so happy...I'm not particularly excited about MM's CGMS and I LOVE my Dex.

CMGS insurance update

an update on life (totally rambling here)
Moving here has been a challenge, to say the least. We live in a 320-square-foot studio (temporarily, for a year), and it's basically a glorified dorm room. I'm talkin' mini-fridge, two-burner stove, no oven, tiny sink with no garbage disposal, etc. It's been especially a challenge for me because I L… Continue

from saline to insulin
I did a pod change over the weekend (saline), and surprisingly, it didn't take me too long. It took about 3 minutes (this was while doing a "demo" for my mom and boyfriend). My squeamish-around-needles boyfriend heard the click of the needle retracting and near… Continue

OmniPod & saline
I have to be honest though, I did NOT know what to expect when I slapped the real thing on the back of my arm. I started getting anxious because I didn't know… Continue

Prescription mix-up makes woman sick
St. Petersburg, Florida – Greta Wiggins still feels horrible Friday afternoon after spending hours in the emergency room Thursday night.
“My head's been hurting and my body feels weak,” says Wiggins from her St. Petersburg home.
Wiggins, who has diabetes, suffered an insulin reaction and she blames that on the wrong kind of insulin and a CVS pharmacy.
On Tuesday, Wiggins picked up her usual prescription for a type of insulin called Humulin. She thought she took home two b… Continue
