Charlotte (11yo) has been using the Animas Ping for almost nine years now. She's had a Dex (G4) for the last 5 or 6 years. I don't know much about...
I haven't been here in forever! This month it's been 8 years since T1 happened and Charlotte decided to have donuts to mark the occasion. My...
Charlotte threw up all night and woke up with ketones of 1.7. I gave her extra insulin and a couple hours later they were 0.6. She threw up again,...
This isn't a question for my kid, but this forum gets the most traffic and I need a quick answer... My dad (T2) has just been prescribed...
Long story, short-- how long is insulin good in the reservoir? She uses Apidra, if that makes a difference. I've always changed it out with every...
Charlotte went to retrieve a ball in the pool.... and fell in. I will refrain from ranting about why they can't make the receivers waterproof like...
I have nothing but rave reviews for the G4. It has been so much more accurate than the 7. I love the range. I put it on my nightstand at night and...
My dad is a T2 diabetic and is supposed to be starting insulin this week. Since I'm the insulin expert in the family, he's asked me to help him....
Update 12/16/13 I called Dex and they had me download the Dex information and send it to them. They agreed there was a lot of "out of range" time,...
I need some new eyes on these trends. Today was the 9th day of school. Charlotte gets her lunch bolus at 11am at school. (she's on Apidra) After...
Title says it all. I'm just writing up C's care plan. This is her first year of all day school. She does have a Dex, which makes things easier....
Charlotte jumped into the pool with her pump pouch on the other day. She immediately realized what she'd done and got out. We put the receiver in...
First of all, I know that diabetes complicates everything. I read sixuntilme when she was pregnant and was surprised at all the extra test. I know...
Charlotte's last a1c (5 months ago) was 7.8. It's usually in the 7s, and we've always been happy with that. Yesterday at her appointment her a1c...
This is too weird for words. I've attached the pictures of the 3, 6 and 12 hour Dexcom screens. I put in a new sensor last night before she went...
I've heard this before, and now I'm seeing it again on the school's generic T1D health plans, but I've never understood it. So I thought I'd ask...
Hoping to have a civil conversation about this. But I find this very worrisome. I don't post this to suggest that vaccines cause all T1D because I...
What is yours set at? I'm just looking for other people's experiences to get an idea. I've never done enough testing to tell with my 5 year old,...
So this is a light-hearted vent. I LOVE the school nurse, the nurse's aide, the teacher and principal. Everyone has been fantastic so far....
I need to step it up and fine tune C's basals, especially while she's at school. I'm realizing they are probably way off but right now I need to...
