Yeah - I got the same email today about the 15% - I just put my order in ... the day before - but managed to use the discount from Tu and they were offering free shipping. I ordered up a few, one for my nephew as well, he's going on a Disney cruise next week, and the package is being shipped to his home in Kissimee (Orlando) - he's going to be so excited - as it's flame red. When I see him next month, we'll be able to show off our Spibelt (mine with the pump - his with a wad of chewing gum and change). Even my husband now is saying - "why didn't you order me one". Duhhh. Another time, when we make a trip to the USA (we have friends closer then FL - that are only 5 hours drive west of us in Rochester, NY - I sent alot of packages to them - many of them D related - e.g. SoloPump/Omnipod - due to those types of medical devices being sent to Canada as they're not approved here. Silly Canada - they've got their reason for not allowing all the cool stuff you get in the USA. I have ways of getting things tho' ;)
Hey Cassie - thanks for the "code" for the Spibelt. I want to order 2, and being a Montreal Fasionista, having the most difficult (LOL) time figuring out - which colour to get. I'll hopefully make my decision today, so I can send off the order, and have it waiting for me at my sis-in-laws in Kissimmee. What I like about this is, when I snorkel/swim, it'll be up tight against me! Also, like you say, going to the loo will be so much easier instead of having the pump clipped to my waist band! Have a great day!
Cassie - I am going to the States next month - and having things shipped to my sis-in-law that I can't get delivered to Canada (sometimes it's due to the outrageous posteage American companies charge). Anyway, I'm wanting to order up some of the Spibelt's - and you were saying we Tudiabetes members (have been one since April) get a discount. Many thanks if you see this in time before I order.

Typically I will drink a big glass of water first thing int he a.m. with my supplements. Then I will blend up a green drink with variable ingredients, but the mainstays will be fresh nopal cactus and bitter melon. I will sometimes add spirulina. For a snack I might have some raw cacao hot in almond mylk or some seaweed snacks. For lunch I will usually have a large salad with homemade dressing or just a simple vinegrette. I might add some nuts and seeds to the salad if I want more protein. For dinner I try to keep it light and have some veggies or lettuce wraps. I guess the main thing is just trying to make sure everything I eat has good nutritional value, mostly is green, and low glycemic. I lso try to make sure I don't get too hungry during the day because then its harder to stick with the raw diet. I am satisfied and feel good on the diet though. I drink tea between my meals and water and sometimes lemonade made with fresh lemons and water and stevia. I only use stevia to sweeten things. I will also chew xylitol gum if I feel it. It doesn't raise my sugars. I don't want to start another riot on this site...but between you and me and whoever else is interested...smoking some herb really seems to lower my sugars, and I smoke before bed. So...a day in the life of my belly. There you go, hope it helps.
My pleasure Cassie! I do think we're on the same page. It seems unwise to me for a person to take antidepressants when there are real reasons to be depressed. That said, I know there are circumstances where people get so down that they have to look up to see bottom, and I suppose you need to at least get in a better place where you’re capable of helping yourself……
Hey Cassie, how are you? And thanks! We must have excellent taste in music. :) I know, it's really surprising that the arm site hardly hurt at all inserting. Will definitely be trying it again now that I know. I was expecting it to hurt like crazy lol. The absorption worked out pretty well too. It seemed that my fasting numbers were a lot more steady with it there and my numbers became a bit more predictable in general... All in all it's nice to have another location for sites. I was very pleased I tried it. And I really appreciated your feedback about it! Made me less freaked out knowing it could be done with that tubing length. I hope you have a great weekend! :0)
Yes,Cathy I do know where Allentown is. I often travel pass it on my way to Harrisburg. It is a real nice area,alot warmer than the Poconos. Some of my friends golf there in Oct..and Nov. of the yr.Well,I have never been in Kansas,so I can't comment. PA. is nice but in my area the winters are brutal.Do you ever travel to northeastern PA? It is truely beautiful in late September,when the leaves begin to change colors.Till next time,take care,PA Pete
