    Hi e/o!

    Whenever I do the slightest excercise it effects my numbers very rapidly, Just a 10 min quick walk will send me shooting down if my number was good to begin with…Is this at all the norm, or I should really appreciate having a quick way to get my numbers down?? (as if when I’m high and headachee I have patience for a good walk, but that’s besides the point…;) )

    allsg8,csilver; that’s not true the cgm can get really accurate if you know how to use it properly, calibrate and insert at the right times etc.

    and the dexcom’s device is pretty big, about the size of a cell phone which has to stay in range(up to 4 ft i think) of the sensor stuck to ur body, that’s pretty difficult for a kid who doesn’t carry a pocketbook with them all day….and it’s enough having to deal with hiding the pump itself

    regarding shabbos i also used to press the buttons with my knuckles thought that was a good shinui and then i got enlightened when R’ Meisels said it’s not neccessary

    cofeefan; u really don’t use it?!

    where did u come up with that from?

    HI everyone!

    good to catch up, haven’t popped in for a while…

    csilver; I have the medtronic and know many ppl on the animas that r dying to switch over because of the features such as CGM wehre the BG numbers go directly to the pump!

    under dresses/jumpers there’s the audio bolus that e/o’s talking about, it basically once u find/know ur way aroundthe pump, you can feel it under a dress and make out the right buttons and e/ time u press a specific button it’ll vibrate let’s say one vibration per unit so u’ll know how much ur inserting

    neother q’s or concerns, feel free to ask!

    hope this helps somewhat

    That’s what was so strange, I thought as the day goes by the body needs less…but I was on the same temporary basal throughout the whole fast!

    yup, .80 is like one of my highest rates (it goes as low as .55) I take less than 20 units for my total basal

    How was it for those of you who fasted?

    I decided to give it a try for once, bh worked out ok!

    But, please clue me in how my body can work on .20 units of insulin per hr??? (as opposed to the usual avrg of .80)

    I know it’s because of fastinge but technically how does it work?

    How about swimming, has anyone been doing any lately?

    I’m trying to make sense of it, here’s what i did; made sure i was a bit higher before sunspended the pump, was on no insulin for the hr- 1 1/2 hrs of swimming and 1/2 hr drying off/tanning,

    I was wearing a sensor and saw that right after i came out of the pool i was at 79; pretty good, but it was straight up from there!

    any ideas? mayb a higher temp basal for few hrs after? Has anyone else seen this trend?

    any insights would be helpful, Thanks!

    cofeefan; know exactly what u feel like, had a massive burn last week and it’s only just beginning to go away!

    So I’ve tried a variety of different things ranging from some aloecaine spray from the local pharmacy, vaseline, moisturizer….I’ve found that pure aloe vera was the best! It soothes and COOLS it off right when u apply

    At this point the BURNING is gone and I’m left with itchy peeling skin:(

    Best of Luck dealing with it, I ttly know what it feels like; ooowwwwwwww!!!!

    and next time b sure to apply TONS of suntan lotion like i’ve done this wk
