Kari, I used to feel like you do. I spent about 2 years completely absorbed in diabetes and all the emotions that go with it. The good part was...
We used to get all of our supplies directly from Smiths Medical. Now I have a long list of other suppliers to choose from and I know nothing about...
Aw, you're just trying to butter her up! :p (I saw that and just HAD to interject! :D)
We just got back from 3 days at Disneyland and CA Adventure. She wore the Navigator and I wore the receiver with her SPIbelt. We didn't take it...
Wow, that is great! I wish I could have read this earlier. I am extremely frustrated with our Navigator. Emily's readings are frequently WAY off...
It IS worthless! During the study, we were told that the battery indicator only tells you how long a battery has been in place, not really how...
So how did the breakfast at McD's with the temp rate go?
Some people need 400% more insulin with steroids! I had to take Prednisone for 2 weeks after an encounter with poison ivy. My non-D BG's were...

No kidding! I just wore a sensor for 5 days and I have a reddened area with several layers of skin missing where the sweat probe lies. UGH!!...
We have to stop at 10 days because the sweat probe begins to irritate her skin badly!
I spoke to an Abbott rep at a local diabetes event recently and asked about the Cozmonitor and Navigator requiring Freestyle coded strips while...
KRenee is right about exercising with BG over 250--it can cause higher numbers and ketones. You've received some good advice here from...
Edited--I posted a dumb question that was already answered earlier in the thread! We have good success with extended boluses for high-fat...
Please tell us about your experience! My daughter was in a study at Stanford for a year, using the Navigator before it was FDA approved. I'd love...
