I would be hesitant, in your shoes, to proceed with a pregnancy knowing that your creatinine numbers are not what they could be, since you are right that the strain…"

Here we Go!!
Well I went to Womens College Hospital in Toronto on June 1 and had my tubal reversal surgery.Some of you may remember, I was originally supposed to have my surgery back in March but was bumped two days prior to surgery..we were so upset and angry...anyways, I digress. ;)Surgery took about 2.5 hours and according to my surgeon, went very well. He flushed me with blue dye to check the tubes and they flowed great! (I was also peeing blue/green for a couple days after)He went in through my…See More
trinsmum replied to trinsmum's discussion 'Square Bolus' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"thanks very much Yadie. I will be sure to check out that video... I also find that I cannot eat plain chips in the evening without being really high in the morning after.. should I be combo bolusing for those as well do you think?"
dxclancy replied to trinsmum's discussion 'Square Bolus' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Combo boluses (Bolusi?) can help with certain foods, but I've found them to be very much trial and error. You have to figure out what works for you. It helps a lot to have a CGM like dexcom. it also takes some trust.
I've noticed that…"

trinsmum commented on samsmom's blog post 'Number 3 on the Autoimmune Countdown: Vitiligo'"I hear you...my daughter Trinity; 12 yrs old. Type 1, on the pump, hypothyroidism, as well as celiac disease...good times.. Not. Shes a tough little girl but sometimes I just ask "how much can one kid take" what else are you going to pile…"
Yadie replied to trinsmum's discussion 'Square Bolus' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I use the combo bolus for when I eat pizza but I actually learned how to get it right by the video on this page by Gary Scheiner.

jrtpup replied to trinsmum's discussion 'Square Bolus' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Hi trinsmum. Glad your control is so good! I love my pump.
I assume you have a Ping. The percentages in the combo bolus are to input how much insulin you want immediately, and how much you want spread out over the time period you specify. Have…"

Well, as some of you know, I got married in September. We paid off the wedding and just had our honeymoon in the Mayan Riviera. Although it was our honeymoon, it was more like a group vacation since our 12 year old daughter (also type 1) came with us, as well as my maid of honour, her daughter, my other bridesmaid and my mum and step dad...yes, it was a party and a fantastic time. Pics to come soon.
I noticed that my sites were only lasting a day..they started peeling off. I used a…
Just new to this...got a few questions.

Hello, Im a 40 year old who has had type 1 for 35 years. I have a 12 year old type 1 daughter who's had it for 10 years.
We both pump. She's on the Medtronic and I went with the Animas Ping. Im relatively new to pumping (since this past July) so far so good.
Just started the referral process to do IVF with my husband.
I had a great pregnancy with my daughter, but Im not 28 any more...nervous but excited about this next step in life.
Anyone been through a 40+… Continue

Your wedding photos are beautiful! I wanted to ask you about your daughter --- how has she been coping with things? Does she talk about having diabetes? My daughter has just been diagnosed with all these conditions in the past year. She's 15 & she's pretty quiet about it all. Doesn't want to test around friends or talk about it. Really has only had one melt-down. I think she may blow sometime!

Welcome home trinsmum.....fellow Canadian!
This is a great place to share, to learn, and to grow...all the while meeting new people world wide, and making friends ♥
Take a peek at some the groups when you get a chance. Just go to the top of your page, and click on "Groups". Once in, you can either peruse the wide array of available groups....or simply type a specific interest in the space provided. Take in some of the blogs/discussions and take a look at the Canada Embassy page as well, by going to the headings in the aqua coloured box in the upper left hand of the home page. Click on "DHF Grassroots". Once you're in scroll down, click on "Canada embassy", and voilà! The house in the photo is where Dr. Frederick Banting lived and had his medical practice in London, Ontario, Canada...before going to the University of Toronto to work on diabetes research, and ultimately the discovery of Insulin.
