And I was so angry. How does this happen? Did I eat the wrong thing? Take a shallow bolus? Is the pump ferning with me? Could the insulin have spoiled? Did I just lose track of everything and my numb...

I received my demo kit of the Solo tubeless insulin pumping system the other day. That’s the would-be competitor to OmniPod which was acquired by Roche Diabetes last month. It’s not yet on the market — in fact, not slated to be available until 2012, but you can order a free sample [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3529960 Tue, 04 May 2010 13:00:13 +0100 3529960 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3189334&cid=t_404179_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2010%2F01%2Fanother-commercial-partnership-jdrf-and-bd-join-forces-to-improve-insulin-pumping.html I know, I know, I had the same reaction: What the heck?! Just on the heels of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)’s big artificial pancreas announcement last week that brings the non-profit into a commercial partnership with J&J, yesterday they released news of a new commercial partnership with Becton Dickinson (BD). The goal of [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3189334 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:00:27 +0100 3189334 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2876292&cid=t_404179_134_f&fid=35187&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FDiabetesDaily%2F%7E3%2F9akNz4_8A1Q%2Fset-change-struggles.php I am all for pumping.  It allows me to deal with my dawn phenomenon, where at 3:00 AM my body needs 50% more insulin than normal. It allows me to be very precise with my insulin doses, does all the math for me, and keeps an eye out for insulin on board that might trip me up later.  It allows me to adjust my insulin before, during, and after exercise, rather than having to eat.  But, even with all of those wonderful things pumping makes possible, there are a few things that drive me up a wall.  Dealing with infusion set changes every few days is one of them.It's not really the set change that bothers me.  It is the disruption in the flow of insulin that gets me.  Today is a fine example.  I woke up around 8:00 AM, tested 123 mg/dl.  I changed my infus...
