I wish I had known what bad customer service Animas had before we purchased the pump in March. The local rep was great, but once the sale was made...
Obviously my comment would not apply to someone who is of normal weight. When someone tells me they can cure themselves of a disease by simply...
It is awesome that you are trying to make this change. I agree with the previous posts that the names used in the example are a bit much, but...
We have asked the restaurant weigh the fries. As long as they aren't too busy, they don't mind.
Where is she getting money to buy junk food?
Very cool video, thanks for sharing. FYI, Sony Ericsson does not make iPhones. It wouldn't make sense to use an iPhone either. Apple is...
Yes, she does use diluted insulin. Using it in the pump would be a great idea. Does that work? Do you have experience with that?
Thank you. "untethered" is exactly the buzzword I needed. When I suggested pump + long acting, the pump educator thought it was impossible and a...
We met with an endocrinologist last month and he agreed that our daughter should start using a pump as soon as we can. So we took the required...
I agree with others. The student health centers are BS. They are staffed with physicians assistants who are a shame on the medical industry. I...
My thought process is really just the simple question of why don't we use commercial grade meters? The test strips say the control value should...
Thanks for the answers. I think the general idea is to keep glucose values within 75% of the target. That seems like it will be difficult if the...
I am not sure, that is why I am asking. I assume most T1Ds need to check their BG at each meal regardless of the location. Some of them are AC...
Why do we use these small glucose meters? Does anyone here use a commercial lab grade meter? The ones that I have looked at use a bit more blood,...
It seems to be a common pattern for medical professionals to drop the ball on diabetes and other autoimmune diagnosis. I had to endure an inguinal...
We were told to treat any 2 am lows that were over 300. The only difference is to half the number of units. We are using diluted insulin too....
Thank you for posting this article. I enjoy these research studies as someone who has dealt with an autoimmune disease my whole life. The first...
I don't specifically distrust the endo, but we have only seen him once. In general, I distrust the whole pediatric hospital. It is a topic for a...
Thanks for the answers. Once yearly doesn't seem like it is often as I would have imagined, but these kind of labs move slower in children. Have...
Other than glucose, a1c, and keytones, how often does your child have lab work done? What labs are done and what are they looking for?
