If you use a pump, what pump model do you use?: Medtronic Minimed Paradigm 515

How did you find out about us? What were you searching for?: information on continuous glucose monitoring systems--Can I get into a trial study?
I found Diabetes Mine, diabetties.org, and then this site

I think both of those are hereditary, diabetic or not. I work for the best allergist/immunologist~wish you were a little closer so your son could see him. Many of his patients are asthmatic and all sing his praises. As far as the acid reducer, I am on Protonix (and Reglan) for gastroparesis (neuropathy of the digestive system) and it is the best I've tried.
Thanks so much for the encouragement and advice! Talk to you soon. K

At 3:55pm on March 13th, 2008, Kristin said…: Hi Andrea! I'm glad that you liked Budapest! I fell in love here with the language, the lifestyle, and most importantly my husband! I came here after finishing college in the USA and have been here since... Which means 4 of my 5 years as a diabetic. As of this year, I am in the Hungarian national health care system-- so I will start getting my pump supplies here with a 90% discount from the state. Until now I have imported my supplies in suitcases :) Even insulin. But as I am really settling here now, I have figured out how to get everything here, which is a relief. It is cheaper (because all is state subsidized), but at least a few steps behind the US market (pumps just emerged- medtronic, animas, and disentronic) and no sign of CGMS yet. So there is good and bad in everything!

At 10:44am on March 10th, 2008, Joe said…: hi Andrea, I was in Utah one summer. My buddie was vacationing and I scraped enough money together to spend a few weeks out there. LOVED the mountains. I was in Salt Lake for only a few days and then went up to Sun Valley Idaho. almost 2 weeks of hiking all those ski trails and a little rock climbing and I took a few lessons in a asmall airplane. Time of my life!!

Yes I was in Az., Sedona and the Grand Canyon with my lovely wife, Lisa on our honeymoon. We both really like the beautiful mountain ranges and we had a great time.... err.... excpet for the hot air baloon ride that ended in disaster and travesty! =)

So you've been to my neighborhood! Cool! I actually live in Denville nextdoor to Rockaway and just north of Morristown. What a small world!

Take care and thanks for writing back!
Joe
