Complications The longer my tenure with diabetes goes, the more I think about the point when it’s all going to catch up to me. Besides the finger pricks, highs/lows, Endo visits and pump/syringes, I’ve led a pretty normal last 13 years or so with diabetes. I haven’t let this disease take away anything that I’ve […]…………………………………………………………… I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support. This blog is better because of you.

Don’t Wait As Long As Me To Double Up
OneTouch UltraLink x2 Call me lazy, but I needed to have a second OneTouch UltraLink. The benefit this meter has is that it communicates via wireless to my Medtronic Pump (715). This is key because I use my pump to upload data to Medtronic’s CareLink site for reporting to my doctor and my own analysis.

Opposite of a Diabetes Sick Day
Illness(es) The last 5 weeks have been as close to what I imagine hell to really be like. I exaggerate, but probably not by much. As of late yesterday, my youngest daughter was fever free for the first time since around March 22. Seriously. The past 5 weeks have looked like this: Stomach virus went […]…………………………………………………………… I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support. This blog is better because of you.

Don’t Throw Out Your Glucagon Just Yet
Expired Glucagon I had a second thought that was probably a no-brainer to you, but didn’t occur to me until after I posted last week about the Glucagon. My Earth shattering idea is that since the Glucagon expires after only a year or so, chances are you dispose of them often. Here’s a novel idea.

Don’t Be An Idiot Like Me – Glucagon
Don’t Be Like Me Yesterday I went to my doctor for my regular diabetes check up and A1c test. I made it a goal a week or so ago to get a new prescription for Glucagon. Why? Because the address of the pharmacy on the kit I have is from Richmond, VA where I use […]…………………………………………………………… I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support.

Diabetes Management: Medtronic’s Carelink Reviewed
Medtronic CareLink Effective this past Monday I learned that Medtronic’s Carelink (Diabetes Management System) was going to be supported on a Mac operating system/Safari (browser).

IV Prep Recall and the Unexpected
Recall I mentioned on twitter and facebook about the Avery – Smith & Nephew IV Prep recall. I would venture to say that this recall affects most of those with diabetes on an insulin pump. I’m not even sure there is a substitute. I use these pads with each new infusion set without fail. Not […]…………………………………………………………… I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support.
