"Go for it! I am a bit confused about how to navigate that site. I posted something in events a long time ago and never heard anything back."
Bob replied to Ruth's discussion 'Western Mass Meetup?' in the group New England Diabetes"Do you think we should post something on the new Glu site? Seemed like there might be a few more Massachusetts people there."

Just responding to bump this up in discussions to see if anyone else might be interested in a meet up!

Bob replied to Ruth's discussion 'Western Mass Meetup?' in the group New England Diabetes"Did you ever get a group to meet up in Western MA? I'd be interested, though it looks like your attempt was awhile ago. I'd be coming from the far west (Monterey, MA) but could travel as far as the Pioneer Valley to meet other folks to…"
"Any interest in a Western Mass meeting out there?"

TS said… - Ruth, just saw your question about symlin in the pump. Don't know how long ago you posted it! I did try it in the second pump, and it worked fine. The very low basal required had no effect, and a "7u" bolus (if I remember right) worked fine with a meal.
But, i found having 2 pumps hanging off my belt to be a PITB, so I stopped. I might try it again, as I keep forgetting to carry those stupid pens with me.

Helmut said… - I always wondered whether it was as important to avoid lows as it is to avoid highs. It seems like erring on the side of low is the better choice.

- Oh, but my doctor did write a letter of medical necessity to HPHC prior the approval. Perhaps you could request that from your Dr? It cannot hurt to try, right? I have heard great things about HPHC and their coverage for CGMS.

- Hi!
I do not think that my HPHC plan is the independence plan. That term does not sound familiar to me. I am sorry ;o(
