My wife and I are going to be in Italy for about 10 days in a couple of weeks. I haven't been to Europe since I started pumping and wonder how people handle the time change/basal schedule. Do you…Continue

still_young_at_heart replied to Jigga's discussion 'A.....delecate question...'"A pump is a prescription device so I'm pretty sure you can't sell it legally anywhere. If you're just planning on taking a break from it why not put it back in the box until you decide to go back.

"Historically we've been taught that fasting blood sugars should be around 90 and post-meal numbers should be below 140 for non-diabetics, but more recent studies have shown that this isn't always…"

still_young_at_heart replied to lotsofshots's discussion 'The Strangest Thing'"Hi Lotsofshots,
You should eat the number of carbs you want but 30 per meal really isn't that high if you're eating 3 times per day especially if you actually count fiber and green vegetables

still_young_at_heart replied to jolaha's discussion 'Reaching Out for Some Support...'"Hey Johala,
It takes great strength to even get out of the bed in the morning let alone complete a Masters with everything that's happened. Take a moment to feel proud of yourself. I have two suggestions - pretend you were just diagnosed and…"
still_young_at_heart replied to Kelsey's discussion 'Update!'"Glad you're "just" tired and sore. Wish you a quick and easy recovery!!"
still_young_at_heart replied to lotsofshots's discussion 'The Strangest Thing'"Following up on Tim's comments: It can make sense to rebalance basal and bolus insulin but it sounds like you're being asked to participate in a science fair project rather than a medical intervention. Fasting at 120-150 and post meal…"
still_young_at_heart replied to Molly's discussion 'How are you doing?'"Hi Molly,
Treat yourself! If you really would like a small piece of baguette with butter, go ahead. I eat bread every day and don't find it very difficult to dose for. You're doing great but it doesn't sound like you're counting…"
still_young_at_heart replied to DiabeticWarrior's discussion 'dealing with hypo and injection'"I will usuall treat the hypo aiming for 95 (my premeal baseline) and wait 15 minutes and retest basing my dose on the second reading. Sometimes I'll treat the hypo conservatively and strip (almost) all the carbs from meal and skip the insulin.…"
still_young_at_heart replied to pancreaswanted's discussion 'eating only fruits, choclate and yogurt as my carbs'"Hi,
I also eat fruit, chocolate and yogurt every day although I also include some bread and legumes as well. Rice, bread and potatoes don't add anything to your diet that you can't get from other sources and I certainly wouldn't…"
still_young_at_heart replied to Zoe's discussion 'No sets!'"I switch out my sets every three days but my endo has written a prescription for every 2-3 days which means that I can order an extra box every now and then. It's not that I hoard but I like to have 5-6 extras available at all times."

Please check out the New England group here. There's a pumpers group in Woburn, MA that meets every month, a good group of friendly, supportive and informative folks.
