Saw my Endo today and my a1C was 8.2 which has the doctor worried as I average about 135-140 units of insulin a day even on an insulin pump. As he said "I have never seen someone's a1C so bad on a pump. That was encouraging to hear. Me too.He is trying to determine where my insulin resistance is coming from. He wants this blood test included in my next round of tests including c-peptide.Depending upon my results he may try metforim(sp?) again as I tried this before starting insulin shots many…See More

Frozen Shoulder - Looking for Advice
Posted on June 3, 2012 at 3:32am 10 Comments 0 Likes
Initial diagnosis was 11/2010. I got a cortisone shot and took roughly 18 PT sessions. All got better by March 2011. May 2011 the pain returned and my ROM was decreasing rapdily again. I got another cortisone shot but no more PT per doctor. Early August 2010 no improvement what so ever so a 3rd cortisone shot. No good so I changed doctors for another opinion. I went on a NSAID for 6 weeks. Initially, the pain was greatly reduced by my ROM was still poor.
Mid-October 2011, I had…

Glad I can give you my experience using Symlin. I started on it in early October 2009 and I take 3 shots a day before each meal. I can say it has really helped me get control of my diabetes. It just one of the components that has helped me go from a 12.4 to 6.7 in about 15 month.s
In particular, Symlin has greatly reduced the amount of food I intake on a daily basis. What I found is that my food cravings between meals has been basically eliminated. I normally eat three (3) meals a… Continue

I saw your post about the trouble with AA. I did a quick search, and I found a discussion on Juvenation in which someone commented saying they are a flight attendant and wear an Omnipod. If you aren't a member of that community, maybe you can join, and contact the person, username united90. here is a link to the thread:

Much luck getting this issue resolved!

- Hi Marty -
Good luck today. Have you read Jason's tips on Symlin? http://tudiabetes.com/profile/oneless - scroll down to the bottom. There are 3 guides. I copied them in to Word and printed them out. Very helpful. The "literature" is less than helpful.
Thankfully, I have yet to experience any nausea, but then I tend to have a cast iron stomach.
To me, it's all about timing with Symlin. In the past week, since I've been on it, I've been most successful when I've waited about an hour to bolus - and then by half.
