It also proposes a tax on the users of new medical devices..A pretty hefty tax.
This is normal, baby girl. Diabetes is so hard on the body, and the fact of the matter is: people who don't have it don't understand what it's like.
Wow. I hear you. I am at year 23 with T1 also diagnosed at age 12. You're not whining - I feel the same way a lot of the time. I often think, wouldn't it be great to go to diabetes rehab and just "kick it"? :) The celiac suggestion is a good one, ...
I am at year #37 and YES, I go through times like that. I withhold complaining most of the time, but when I do, my husband and daughter are understanding and helpful. A suggestion though... I used to think feeling yucky and headachy and stuff was ...
I have had t1 for 25 years now. I was 12 when I was diagnosed. I now have the normal problems. Neuropathy, Hypo unaware, some kidney damage..
All in all I think that I handle it pretty well but here is my dilemma. I am soooo tired of feeling yuck...
This group is for people out there who were born with or close to born with diabetes and have had it for a long time. I have had it for about 21yrs now and it's very hard to find people and talk to others who are dealing with the same issues I am.

Insulin holds onto fat. It is an ugly cycle. The more fat you gain the more insulin you have to do the more insulin you do the more fat you gain.
Have you reached out in your community to see if there are other teenage diabetics that may not go to your school. I was diagnosed when I was 12 and I was the only one at my school also. However there were others in my area. Making friends with th...
The great thing about an Omnipod is you can wear it so many places without tubing. I had the same concerns when I first got a tubed pump years ago. I got over those issues but can definitely say a pod is easier. I prefer to wear my pod on the back...
There are several reasons for Dexcom Sensor failures. If you contact them they will ask you to download your info to them so they can see what is going on and then they will ask you to send them the failed sensor after they replace it. My first fa...
What a cute idea. I saw a tshirt that said my pancreas is retarded. I would love a little sticker that said that to wear on my pod when I have it on my arm.
My first sensor went something like that also, but after that my dexcom and finger sticks are almost always within 10 points of each other. The one thing I didnt know because of course I didnt read the entire book was not to take tylenol. That cau...
Dexcom is out of network for me as well so they set me up with Edgepark and I order through them. Their number is 800 321 0591. They are in network so I am covered at 100%.
I have been using the Dexcom for a few months now and love it. At first I was concerned about the accuracy but I have found it to be very close to my meter.
