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 am aware that Tradjenta is not an insulin. It was a pill that he was taking for about 6 weeks, but despite seeing improvement, the endo is...
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...
Thank you everyone. Her ketones have stayed down at 0.4 or 0.3 since yesterday. She's eating again but I'm not bolusing for food, only correcting...
She hasn't eaten anything since dinner yesterday. I gave her gatorade with 15g CHO about 2 hours ago. Her blood sugar is 150 and her ketones are...
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,...
He says he just took 40 units at 8pm after dinner. His blood sugar was 344 though. He's been out of Lantus completely for a week.
No, this is just what the doctor prescribed probably because he was still having a lot of highs on a Lantus dose that high. I'm actually surprised...
That helps a lot. So as long as he always splits the dose and doesn't try to do one shot a day, it should work fairly similarly to Lantus then?...
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...
Longer story-- I'm going out of town and my kids will be with my family. I will be gone long enough that Charlotte will need one site change while...
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...
My dad called to say his blood sugar was 180-something! It's the first number under 200 we've seen! Yay!! He's giving himself 70 units-- 35 in the...
Thank you for both of your replies. GChick, after reading your comment I realized that if his Lantus dose is based on him snacking during the...
There's probably nobody reading this still, but if anyone is/does and wants to offer insight... Since starting my dad on insulin, we've been...
It happens at home sometimes too. But more often at school.
What kind of tape are you guys putting over it?
Interesting. She's wearing a Tally Gear TummieTote. Most of her clothes don't have pockets, so that's not an option anyway. How does the dryer...
I'm glad I'm not the only one! (although I wish this wasn't a recurring problem for everyone!) We started out just using IV prep with the 7...
