juliannaergrl replied to Deborah's discussion 'at the movies'"Just a FYI. My brother and sister in law have worked at several theaters- and they both told me you can ask them to pop the popcorn without butter entirely and almost all of them will. They just don't advertise it."

palomino left a comment for juliannaergrl"I am doing well right now. Life has been a little crazy- lots of personal drama on top of working long hours. Having a hard time balancing diabetes and exercise. Hard to get into a regular routine :/ Hope you get into the school you want to go to."
bojibridge replied to juliannaergrl's discussion 'Health Insurance Changes'"I'm a grad student, we have Aetna. It absolutely covered all diabetes supplies and care, including my pump that I got a year ago. The on campus clinic is great, but I got a referral to a doctor at a nearby clinic that specializes in diabetes…"
Don replied to juliannaergrl's discussion 'Health Insurance Changes'"Thank you for the link, Christel. I am encouraged to see "Health insurance companies can't refuse to cover you or charge you more just because you have a chronic or pre-existing condition." I guess the plans can vary greatly according…"
Christel replied to juliannaergrl's discussion 'Health Insurance Changes'"Congratulations on going back to finish school! I wish I had better news for you about insurance. I haven't found a company who is willing to take a Type 1 diabetic on for private comprehensive insurance covering pumps and supplies;…"
juliannaergrl replied to juliannaergrl's discussion 'Health Insurance Changes'"It would be Aetna Student Health Insurance... But I am still not sure if they cover pre-exsisting conditions like other group policies would have to? The website say it does then it doesn't then it depends, so I have no idea!
Also, I am not…"
Brian (bsc) replied to juliannaergrl's discussion 'Health Insurance Changes'"I have to tell you, the first thing you need to do is figure out what plan your school offers. You may be pleasantly surprised. For instance, my daughter is a senior at a private school which get's their health insurance from…"
juliannaergrl posted a discussionHealth Insurance Changes
I currently have health insurance through my employer but I am getting ready to go part time in order to finish school. I'm type 1 on a pump. My question is, if I buy private insurance will they cover me? And/or if I elected the schools group insurance plan, will it cover my ore existing condition?And finally, I have researched the AHCA extensively, but there's very little non opinionated info out there. Where are the minimum requirements for health insurance? Where do I find info on high risk…See More
Mike replied to juliannaergrl's discussion 'Animas Pump- No Delivery'"Hi juliannaergrl (hope I spelled that right),
Sounds like a look cap for the insulin reservoir. Whenever I get that alarm and I know that I'm not out of insulin, it has ALWAYS been a loose cap. I just snug it down tight, go into the prime…"
Annabella replied to juliannaergrl's discussion 'Animas Pump- No Delivery'"That's a general message meaning for some reason the pump thinks there is a problem & stops delivery. Look in the history menu & select Alarm to see if you missed an Alarm. That is the 1st place I look whenever the pump does anything…"
Terry replied to juliannaergrl's discussion 'Animas Pump- No Delivery'"I have had this situation occur also. When I called the Animas help line they told me that if the screw on insulin chamber cap is loose at all, then it will result in a "no delivery, pump not primed alarm." Now I make doubly sure that this…"

Bravo on being a featured member Julianna...

Oh, good luck! I still really want the Omnipod- except the size is just a bit large. I know they are working on getting a smaller version out to current users, but it's been in the works for years so who knows when it is coming out. The Ping is my second choice of the three main ones.
Part of me wants a pump, the other part is still going, "WTF, you have diabetes?"
Oh well! Let me know how the Ping goes, or I'll watch for a post from you on the forums!
