type3mom replied to Amy's discussion 'Anyone used Edgepark diabetics supplier?' in the group Dexcom Users
"We were very unhappy with Edgepark. As you can see in the other responses, we seem to be in the minority. I would never go back to them, but many others seem to like them quite well. Hopefully, the issues we had with them are not common."

type3mom commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Animas Insulin Pump Users'
"We've had some loss of prime alarms after our daughter has been playing rough and likely knocked the pump into something or dropped it on the ground. Animas tech support said that impacts like that will cause the pump to give that alarm. Do you…"

type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"It's always a good idea to handle your child's insulin needs while in the hospital. Everyone is so different and the staff would not be familiar with your child's specific needs. It would take many days of trial and error for anyone…"

type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"By the way, your kitchen sounds like mine. We could probably bond over rising bread. Now on to figuring out how to stabilize your son's blood sugar. Were you able to get an appt. with his Dr. to look into possible celiac?"

type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"Perfect, Shant. I'm so glad to hear this."

type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"Wouldn't it be great if this could be an answer for you? Not great to have celiac, but if you could have a solution!"

type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"This is very good information. My daughter also only has juice when she is low and we've had to completely eliminate cold cereal and milk for breakfast. We've tried all kinds and she goes sky high from all of them. Obviously, Shant's…"

type3mom replied to michelle13's discussion 'recently diagnosed with T1. please help.' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"You are feeling everything you should feel and you are doing everything you should do. It has only been a week. His blood sugar will be all over the place and it will seem as though you aren't dosing correctly. This is only because it is…"

type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"Good point - if they couldn't get him down into normal range in the hospital, how can they try to blame the parent for not getting his BG down? I know that the doctors and social services probably think they are protecting him, but they need to…"

type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"Sounds like you are doing everything right but he just needs more insulin for some reason. Of course you are going to sound defensive when you are defending yourself. I hate when people say that as if it's a sign of guilt. I would be, for sure.…"

type3mom replied to PhDiabetes's discussion 'Thoughts on Screening Siblings?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"We've decided against it. I just can't bare the thought of having my 5 year old son in for blood draws. I spotted my daughter's T1D before she became very ill, so I feel sure that I would do the same with my son and I am not worried…"

type3mom replied to Theo Pella's discussion 'How to deal with Friends and or relatives that mean well, but just don't get it.' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"If you can afford to pay a babysitter, maybe you can find a teenager who has type 1 to babysit. We asked our diabetes center in our local hospital to help match us up with babysitters. Funny thing is that we ended up just happening into finding the…"
