Our first package from Aplus came 2 Saturdays ago when it was 102 degrees outside. It was sent via 2-day with one ice pack and was very warm to...
I was told by our endo and pediatrician to expect my daughters to start around the same age I started, regardless of diabetes.
I agree with the others, all of the pumps are wonderful. We narrowed it down to Animas & Cozmo for the smaller basal increments for our daughter,...
Beautiful video. I cried more for this one than the last, but it was a good cry. Thank you for taking the time for this.
Wonderful video, thanks for taking the time to do this! :)
The only shot we had a problem with was the booster for chicken pox. She had swelling and a fever from it and that caused her blood sugars to go...
Tegaderm is the other brand of IV3000. Some people have better luck with it. For us, both of those retain water, so if we don't get out and...

Thanks for sharing this info. I hadn't heard of her until I read the Cheating Destiny book that so many parents recommended on this site. Very...
Our CDE also recommended the one with the needle left in (Rapid-D in our case, we are not using Minimed), at least to start with. With all of the...
Same here!
We do not leave site change supplies at school, as I would not have our health aid insert a new site if it failed. In the two or three times...
Sorry, we haven't had any issues and have mail-ordered all insulin for 2 years. I hope you find the cause.
Our endo recommended that we wait a couple months after diagnosis for doing this baseline exam to give her eyes to adjust to normal glucose...
