"The biggest reason NASA uses what is considered outdated technology is because it all has to go through flight-certification testing (i.e. vibration testing, rad-testing, etc.) years before actually being flown. By the time things get up to the ISS…"

Kimberly replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod UsersKimberly replied to nevada's discussion 'Does Dexcom have a competitor?' in the group Dexcom Users"I used the Medtronic sensor a while back. My personal experience with that was pretty bad. Very inaccurate, huge insertion needle (making me bleed every. single. time.) and the transmitter does not have any adhesive on it causing it to flop about…"
Kimberly replied to Kenneth Kellner's discussion 'Omnipod leaking?' in the group OmniPod Users"I don't have this problem, but possible causes. It's possible you could have an allergy to the cannula material. I believe most, if not all, of the pump companies use Teflon for their canullas. If that's the case, you will either have…"
Kimberly replied to danadoll63's discussion 'Moving to Houston! Need to find new Endo/doctor'"Joslin has a couple of clinics in the area. Looks like one of them is in NW Houston. I love my endo, but I'm in the Clear Lake area which is totally opposite of where you'll be living."
Kimberly replied to JennC's discussion 'G4 Dex USB Charging Port Broken' in the group Dexcom Users"This totally explains how one of my cat's hairs got into the 7+. That was bugging me for months. I thought it was a crack until I noticed the tipping on the hair."

Kimberly replied to meh_mtl's discussion 'Air Travel' in the group OmniPod Users"They are removing the x-ray backscatter full body scanners. The millimeter wave full-body scanners are staying, and the backscatters being removed will be replaced by these."
Kimberly replied to MikeU's discussion 'Rx for every 3 days or 2 days for 90-day supply?' in the group OmniPod Users"I started off with a 2-day script back in late 2009, which led to me cancelling auto-refill sometime back in October of last year, I think. I've still got enough pods to get me through June, which means I'll have to wait for the new small…"

- hi kimberly but my friend was already embarassed and in a bad way and I dont think insisting that she cause a scence would have been the best option right then and there . I think we did the best thing we could in the choice to go home and try another flight in a couple of days . well for the trips from now on we will just do Mdi s which is what I do cause I cannot afford a pump . so the best option we figure is that since no one has bothered to return her phone call . thanks for your weighing in though appreciated very much .

Craig said… - Too cool! I wanted to be a robotic engineer when I grew up, but somehow I became an artist instead. Now I am moving back into the technology field once again. Where once tech'y stuff was a hobby and art was my job, I am almost done switching those both around, heh.
