Great news, thanks Rosemary. I was speaking to an Animas pump rep on Saturday who reckoned they'd be launching a new pump integrated with Dexcom CGMS in the UK next year. I use Medtronic CGMS and pump at the moment, but it's always nice to have so...

Sami, Thank you for the response, I really appreciate it. Here is a photo of my backup insulin (Lantus). Look close, do you see anything wrong with this picture? I have never used Lantus, so even if I had a new bottle, it would have been a guessi...

New endo and surprise

I had an appointment with my new endocrinologist last Tuesday and unlike so many other appointments I have had over the past two years, this one was quite pleasant. She didn't argue over type or treatment, was happy with the results in my bg logs -- and didn't question their authenticity (really, I had one doctor who didn't think the computer-generated print-out could be real because it wasn't a traditional bg log!). Generally, I was fairly pleased with her.

She didn't take the time to examine… Continue

I SHOULD BE OKAY WITHOUT INSULIN FOR 24 HOURS , RIGHT?

Quick blog...

Early Thursday, I phoned my pharmacy to refill my Novolog insulin. The lab technician replied that I had no more refills and they would have to fax my doctor to get his approval. "Okay, no problem I will be picking this up over the weekend." Not a big deal, right? Today (Sunday) comes along, I cruise through the drive through pick up window, ring the service bell, the Pharmacist comes to the window and I say "I am here to pick up my Novolog insulin that I phoned in on Thursday." T… Continue

Information about Stem Cell Therapy

I'm posting the link to this excellent website with information about Stem Cells.
http://www.isscr.org/public/index.htm

From November 12- 14th I was lucky to attend the International Symposium on Stem Cell Research at Buenos Aires , Argentina.

Loads of data I'll sort out and post here for the community.

Help Cure Childhood Diabetes



Ten years ago this January 31st, my son, Westin, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes. He was two years old and we have zero type 1 diabetes in our families. I remember, after being admitted into the hospital that Monday night, all the doctors and interns… Continue

I Couldn't be Anymore Thankful...

Hello everyone. I hope y'all are doing well. Here I sit in the aftermath of World Diabetes Day, worn out and so blissfully happy. I was able to attend the lighting ceremony of the Austin City Hall (did anyone else in the Austin area think that other than the Radisson, it was the prettiest blue monument in Austin?). I was able to participate in the Big Blue Test, I even got my mother to do it with me. My sister in law would have as well but she wasn't feeling well at the time. I got my Dad, who d… Continue

Score one for the good guys!

Just got a letter from Anthem. They have reversed their decision about Eric's insulin pump. I'm at once thrilled and annoyed. It's not that I didn't think they would—I mean, the medical necessity was obvious, and there was no way they could deny that in the face of all the documentation we provided. I'm annoyed that the extra effort was necessary, though.

It came at a good time, however — we've spent the whole week cosseting little boys sick with swine flu. Just as I feared, the virus got to my… Continue
