just switched to Highmark BCBS - they also cover my CGMS
I'm left handed, so I put it on my right arm
what about protein shakes? I'm not sure if children can have them, but it may be worth a try.
Buy a tubeguard. I use it all the time. Some things are worth the extra research :)
Tamiflu is evil.
I had to take the Tamiflu, and it raised my blood sugars in the 300's while under the treatment. I even had to hike my basal up 180%.
My IV3000 is covered 100%.
I have a documented latex allergy and adhesive allergy, so they cover my IV3000 or Tegaderm HP (depending on what Medtronic has in stock) 100%.
I'm sorry, I forgot to post this! :) here it is, long overdue!
I am a type 1 diabetic. All women on my mother's side are type 1 diabetics.
Mic is in Kingston, ON (Ontario), Canada
between Toronto and Ottawa Ontario.
I am posting on her behalf as she's at work. :) I know Mic personally.
This is my favorite too Robyn! :)

this is one reason I stopped going for the 4's. Mid 5's are much more comfortable.
I wear a CGMS and test 18-20 times a day if not wearing a CGMS - if I wear a cgms I test 12ish times. I am also an insulin pumper.
Just because I am a type 1 diabetic, does not mean I need to eat low carb. It just means I need to be smarter about...
4.7 previously. Strict diet, exercise and followed my dosages to the T.
Here is my thread A1C and diet
I frequented lows quite a bit, my a1c right now at 5.3 is perfect.
visit the group geeks with diabetes, I already addressed this in one of my threads there, I'm on my cell right now so I can't quite get the link to come out right, but its there. If no one has answered by the time I get home, I will see if I can l...
In cold weather my insulin needs double.
In hot weather my insulin needs are decreased by half.
In both cases, my insulin to carb ratio and basal are affected by 50%
I don't have bruises from the sensor - I'm using the MM sensor
