Just a reminder that even private schools who take any federal money (e.g. Title 1, Title 2, USDA) must follow section 504. And the Americans with...
Goal 2 seems to be missing the implied, "because if your a1c were to be higher than x, you would stop being completely awesome".
I'm a developmental psychologist and parent of a 12-year-old w/Type 1. I get it, and want to recommend a specific type of therapy that has been...
Dexom has template 405 plans Go to the school nurse tutorial here http://dexcom.com/sites/dexcom.com/files/education/nurse/story.html and click...
When I read this, I thought: Wow, it would be great to have one understanding person to help with with this pile of failed pods I have to call in....
Hhmm... I wonder what you were told the "proper foods" were. We were taught how different food affected blood sugar to help decide when and how...
I was 3 months pregnant, and had been in therapy for about a year for depression at diagnosis. I had started antidepressants, but quit them when I...
Thanks. This approach - listening, validating, empathy - works for us. I'll keep thinking about what might help as she gets older. Thanks for posting.
The theme of the grief of diagnosis coming and going is common here, and my husband and I really get that. For one, it's like real grief, so we...
My dd is in puberty, and we routinely pre-bolus (at home, not at school) 8 - 10 units - but not if there is insulin on board. A year ago, we might...
For what it's worth, my 11 year old really did not want to go to any sleepaway camp last year, and this year very much did want to go. In fact,...
To get a sensor to transmit to 2 receivers, do you just start a sensor one one receiver and then repeat the "start sensor" procedure on the second...
The CDE asked us what our ratios were before pump start, then set them once when we started the pump. As soon as we left the office, we started...
Same here. My DD was dx'd at 9. Scariness and painfulness isn't an issue. But less noticeable, less stuff to carry, and more personalizable would...
Thanks for posting. It's worth reading no matter where you're located. It discusses in nice clear language why policies that limit insulin and...
We just started on the Dexcom and I'm surprised it isn't louder. We have to be pretty close to it to hear it. Maybe we just have a noisy house (3...
Same here with my 10 year old. We've done 2 things. Run temp basals for 12 hours at a time (the max you can go without resetting on omnipod)...
Sounds like a stomach virus. We just went through something similar. We were having such a hard time with lows, even with basal and bolus doses at...
Same here! Today is the first day at school with the G4. Amazing how different things are from dx a year ago.
We haven't had problems for awhile, but when we were it was the same for DD. She can change her own pods and surprised us by restarting a dead PDM...
