Oh my! Did she say the “f” word?!

Over the last week my tonsils were giving me heck.  So I stopped by my CF clinic yesterday to get some good ol’ Levoquin (antibiotic).  As tradition goes, as with any clinic visit, I did the typical blow into the machine and it spits out a number thing.  To my surprise it seemed really easy.  [...]

Blood sugar and memory

Over the past, oh year and a half or so, I have noticed a severe decrese in my mental ability to remember things.  Mostly affecting my short term memory, repeating things, asking the same questions over and over, not able to remember what tasks I am doing, or have completed… the list goes on.  I [...]

Emotional Rant

As usual at this time of year I tend to get a bit overly emotional.  To blame, at least partially, is the lack of sunshine in my life both literally and figuratively.  As the end of the year closes it is hard not to reflect back on the passing time.  This year has definitely been [...]

HAHA yes the back of the arm. I have a wiggle I got at 41 but its an empty wiggle!

I had trouble with the infusions sets also I switched to the 6mm sure T it is helping I can even angle it if I need to, but i tend to use the bent needle for angle shallow sites. The needles work so much better me then the plastic cannula I always blow them not enough fat tissue to hold them so they bump up against un-fat stuff :)

I have to stay way from my stomach endo's orders so I am gonna try around my hips. I just seem to bump it there alot.

Anyway email me your phone we can chat...or if you have gmail we can chat also.
:)
Be loved

I was giving myself shots at least 4 times a day plus had a pretty dramatic swing in highs/lows. The pump has helped me stabilize things a bit. I'm glad it's working well for you too. I'm in the process of implementing a GGM for my treatment. What do you think of yours? ...... Thanks Sweet & Salty :)

Hey I noticed you are a new pump user. I recently started using the minimed 722. What do you think so far?

Hey Salty! Just wondering if you've met Kimberly. I notice you're both into robots. May even be a good business contact.

Sorry to hear about your detergent. I guess you've discovered a new variant on the old "when life hands you lemons" routine. When life splatters soap all over your laundry room, make a bubble bath. ;-)

Sorry to hear about your issues with the CGM... I hope everything works out.
