]]> Comment on Going wireless with diabetes treatment by Parth A. Leach http://diabeteslivingtoday.com/2011/11/30/going-wireless-with-diabetes-treatment/comment-page-1/#comment-207742 Parth A. Leach Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:41:25 +0000 http://diabeteslivingtoday.com/?p=1497#comment-207742 My daughter uses the Animas Ping with the One Touch meter remote. A friend of mine has the Medtronic Paradigm with the One Touch meter that sends the blood sugar to the pump. I know other families that use the OmniPod. As the parent of a child using an insulin pump, I like the meter remote because I don't have to have her come to me to administer her insulin dose. I like that I can send her to school with a meter other than the Ping remote, and she can take out her pump to bolus (give insulin). Those with the OmniPod MUST send their child to school with the ONLY device that will control their pump. If that device is lost, there is no way to get the Pod to deliver insulin. If I were the person using the insulin pump, I would consider either the Animas Ping or the Medtronic. Either way, you would have to have some sort of object in your hand in order to administer the bolus, be it the meter or the pump. If you loose either meter, you can still enter your blood sugar manually after using a different meter. The features of the pump itself should be the determining factor as to which pump you choose. The Animas has a "full color" screen, this makes it VERY easy to see the pump screen in dark rooms and at night. There are sites out there that compare and contrast the features of the various pumps. There is an online community called Type 1 Parents that can be a great source of information, as well as support. The name leads one to believe that you have to be the parent of a child with Type 1, this is not true. We have adults with Type 1, as well.

For example I didnt know that after exercise the muscles are at optimum conditions to absorb sugar/glucouse . I had thought to eat beforehand to burn it off -boy was I wrong. Also I was shocked at the amount of calories you quoted for a Thanksgiving day meal that is typical in consumption.Add to that the info that white potatoes can be harmful to diabetics. I remember a while back about a year a fella named Oscar called and asked "what do you do?" what have you accomplished? etc. I for one can say you have saved a lot of lives and made us a lot healthier. I had called awhile back with questions and you gave me more info than my doctor ever shared with me. I also wish to say you are an example for all us with your courage. God Bless. dan Kitty,
