t.clayton replied to casey300's discussion 'Athletes in need of help'"I was going to suggest looking at Triabetes but it appears they are through the link provided by acidrock. There is also Team Type 1 & 2, but some of the higher level members of the cycling team are not diabetics."
t.clayton replied to LiL MaMa's discussion 'How many units of basal insulin do you take per day?'"I also started on oral medications, diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago, shots was 6u, pump is around 5.1u per day with all the different rates."

t.clayton replied to jrtpup's discussion 'The D food graveyard - what's in yours?'"Pretty much just cereal and toasted bread, like toast, waffles, garlic bread, the spikes are too crazy no matter what I tried. Generally avoid ice cream as well unless it's novelties, have a hard time getting portion sizes correct.
A lot of the…"
tom b replied to t.clayton's discussion 'Belt recommendations for carrying insulin pump.' in the group Cycling Diabetics"I've been T1 since 1942 and pumping since 1995. I have had 4 different pumps, and I have worn each of them clipped to the waist band of my bike shorts, with 100 mm tubing tucked inside the shorts. I have never felt the need to have a belt for…"
t.clayton replied to Dianne's discussion 'New Type 1 (LADA)'"I was two months before my 30th birthday on diagnosis, 499 b.s. 13.9 A1C, was LADA as well. I was about 12-15 lbs below my normail weight since high school, around 123 lbs as opposed to 135-140 lbs. I didn't start insulin right away as I went…"
t.clayton replied to Gerhart Friedel's discussion 'Insurance Problem with Pump Supplies'"I don't have BCBS but I live in Michigan and get my supplies through Airway Oxygen, could see if they accept it. 616-247-1312 is the number I use to order my supplies."
muchow replied to t.clayton's discussion 'Belt recommendations for carrying insulin pump.' in the group Cycling Diabetics"SPI belt, Amphipod, and FlipBelt all are good but differ. SPI belt and Amphipod have adjustable cinches to tighten how close they hold to your body, so they don't bounce. FlipBelt is sold in different waist sizes. FlipBelt and Amphipod have…"
t.clayton replied to cyborg mom's discussion 'basal set up'"My ping does .025 increments, are you confusing the decimal place, I wouldn't think you'd need a smaller basal increment than that."
t.clayton replied to marleneseven's discussion 'Need help with making sure I don't stack insulin.'"As mentioned yes the Ping tracks the IOB and will list it, but if you bolus for the snack using ezCarb wizard it won't deduct the IOB from the insulin needed to cover the carbs in the snack."

t.clayton replied to orbiter7's discussion 'Insurance charges triple the usual 30-day copay if quantity exceeds 31 days'"If your doctors are decent, just call them and cite insurance issues and have them issue a new script for the closest unit per day that gives a full vial over 31 days. I've done it a couple times, once with pens and once when I started pumping."
t.clayton replied to adam nash's discussion '$15 test strip copay anybody?'"For my strips it's $45 for a 3 month supply, I had to look-up the brand my insurance qualifies as generic, in my case it's One Touch, get 600 for $45."

- You will love the pump once you start on it.It offers a less stringent regime.You can get away with the odd piece of pie or birthday cake as long as you bolus for the correct carbs.What I was really wondering is if I am working 7 days a week when would I be able to do basal testing?
