the only way we can REALLY eliminate the spike after breakfast, meaning keeping it in single digit and not compromising on food choices is to do...
Hi there! My son is 3 yo, pumping with apidra for over a year now. We switched from Humalog for the same reason: crazy post meal spikes. Worked...
1. How old is your child and when did they get diagnosed with T1D? 9 months old 2. What has been the most substantial adjustment you have...
thank you so much everyone for your help! I see the improvement after bringing up his target to 140. We actually haven't had a low for the last...
thank you so much, everyone! I think he is acting up when in is in range too, but he is def. miserable when low or high. And he is always...
you are right! His target is 5(100) during the day and 6 (120) at night. Is it too low? How did I find out that he was diabetic? Well, it was...
thank you so much, Kristen! We do use Apidra and love it. But still get spikes especially after breakfast. Our Dteam says he must be just super...
Thank you! That's what our endo suggests too - to loosen control for a little while. But its hard to accept an a1c of 7.6 after 6.2 I guess. I...

My 2 y.o. T1 is a "baby from hell", as someone described him once after watching him for a day. On top of being an extremely picky eater, he is...
My little boy is 2. Dx-ed at 9 m.o and "omnipodding" since 17 m.o. In my opinion its a great system especially for wee ones. No tubing, no manual...
My little boy was diagnosed at 9 months old and started pumping at 17 month. We went with Omnipod so he wouldn't pull on the tubing and press...
thats terrible...
Sorry, Christopher, I seriously doubt that....;)
That's not what I meant at all. While I admire Dr. Faustman for being a true altruist working hard on a cure, my comment was obviously directed to...
I used to get excited about these stories, now it's like: meh, ... this is a multi billion dollar industry with millions of jobs, why would they...
I love this! Heather, I am going to print your post and keep it for the future. I have two boys, they are still very young, but I am already...
Sorry for being sceptical, but until there is a faster acting / faster out of your system insulin and more accurate cgm (much more accurate then...
what swellman said. my son is 21 months old. our last a1c is 6.0, the one before 6.2. We keep him between 4-8, meaning really tight control with...
