No more shots!

Is there anyone out there interested in corresponding with me about using both a Continuous Glucose Monitoring system and an insulin pump or pod? I've been using the DexCom CGM system for about 14 months, and an OmnoPod insulin pod since July 2007, and I'd love to be in touch with others who use two separate systems. I'm a Type 1...

Yummy stuff

It seems so easy to focus on what we shouldn't eat that it's hard to focus on the good stuff. I for one just love Fannie May vanilla butter creams and know I shouldn't make a habit of eating them. Rather than telling myself I can't eat these I will occasionally stop when passing by and buy just two of them.... Read more Chevron
