Diabetes Day of Reckoning

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.

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.

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.  […]…………………………………………………………… I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support.

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).  I haven’t uploaded my data in quite some time because of compatibility issues and getting a new iMac last fall.  So hearing this news rekindled my drive for better reporting […]…………………………………………………………… I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support.

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.
