Hello all - I am interesting in buying one of those Fitbit fitness monitors that transmits information about your exercise to a smartphone. Does anyone who wears a Medtronic pump and CGM also wear a Fitbit? I am wondering if the devices will somehow interfere with each other....See More

swedishfish commented on MevsDiabetes's blog post 'The Most Valuable Lesson I’ve Learned about Managing Type 1 Diabetes'"This is a very powerful post. Thank you - I know it's true but it is hard to accept, especially when you are diagnosed at 45 and have to change how you have thought about food your whole life. I will try to think more about curve balls and not…"
swedishfish replied to Jodil's discussion 'Checking blood sugar in public'"I often check in public - at a restaurant, in exercise class or at work. I usually ask at the table if it is okay with everyone if I check my sugar and take my injection - no one has ever said no!"
Brian (bsc) replied to swedishfish's discussion 'Have any T1s tried the Dukan Diet? If so, what have been your experiences with it?'"Well, I prefer protein-power. Elizabeth Edelman appears to be trying it because she is a self-proclaimed "carb addict" and doesn't want to give up carbs in the long-term. The diet basically starts you off with the "attack"…"
swedishfish replied to swedishfish's discussion 'Have any T1s tried the Dukan Diet? If so, what have been your experiences with it?'"I guess someone from Diabetes Daily is going to try this diet: http://www.diabetesdaily.com/simplycooking/author/Elizabeth/
I will be interested to see how she does! I need to do something....!"
