I was 15 when my mother had an elderly type 2 friend explain his diabetes complications (amputed foot, nearly blind, heart trouble, etc.) Then...
They told me today that my pump fell out of warranty last month (wasn't expecting that until Nov.; I mixed up the dates), and I was told that...
I was told that my pump is not to be used, that the piston is either over or under priming the cartridge. (Or a little bit of both) I've got...
It's a matter of perspective and depends on the purpose for which the information is used. If it's just an extra poke, just for "fun" or to...
The simple answer, at least from my perspective as an adult with type 1, is that you treat sex as exercise and test/alter insulin accordingly. In...
I'm not too keen on Animas customer service. They didn't believe me at all when I told them that there was an issue with basal delivery (I could...
This is what I do. It's usuallly a few months on MDI, then a few months on the pump. The last several A1cs have all been within 6.5-7.2, and so...
