There are videos of people putting them in numerous areas, one guy actually rated how the different areas did in accuracy. I usually put Libre on my upper butt/hip, because my Dexcom is on my arm and my pump is on my stomach. When I only wore a Libre I used to wear it on my arm. I have always...

@barbarapreston Impressive 70 years!!! Here's to it being 75!

The newer Medtronic, Tandem and the Omnipod 5 will make correction decisions, based on predicted higher or lower trends/readings from the CGM you wear. But they are limited on how much extra they can give, so I'm not sure they can fully deal with high high numbers and that varies per brand of...

@JemQuijano43 Unfortunately being too high can cause complications down the road. It really is about counting carbs and giving the right dose for those carbs. Timing, prebolusing helps too. Some people are better at it than others for whatever reason. But I am wondering, how about a loop...

A book, sorry! I have site issues with the Omnipod, but don't want to switch to a tubed pump because I swim for hours at a time and need reduced but some insulin or my numbers skyrocket after about an hour. I use my abdomen for my pods, most of the time. My arms for my Dexcom. I have to use...

They certainly sound good! I had to look them up!

Hi @Cumberland Good to see you!!!!! @hopeful I am doing most things with my wrist, I am still not supposed to lift over 5 pounds, and no leaning on it! I can tell the difference when I go to lift something heavier, it sort of objects and lets me know. I grabbed the Dobie and pulled back on her...

@mab1402 My HBa1c is 34 right now and it's usually between 32-34. My endo doesn't care because my TIR is excellent. She never says anything bad, that I'm doing great! You consistently hear of doctors saying a persons HBa1c is too low. But it depends on the doctor, what they know and I...

@Jaylee We have wondered about airports lol............ Half the time I am going to a different line anyway because of my back and my Omnipod. That full body x ray should show the obvious!!!!! @becca59 I am not supposed to do "physical activity" yet, It takes 8, possibly 10 weeks for the...

Well my wrist seems to be healing well. I have good mobility, it still needs some work and I am still going to be going to physical therapy for another month. I seem to be the most limited on bending my hand/wrist inward. But I can make fists, grab things pretty easily, but still have...

@mia_davis A couple of things to always remember. As an adult when you get type 1, for years your blood sugars are very erractic. Called the Honeymoon period. You still make some insulin for a while and some days more and some days less. So it can be harder to keep your blood sugars under...

Chocolate Muffin! Mini lol!!!!! Coffee 1/2 soymilk, 1/2 coffee with chocolate stevia drops. Can you tell I like chocolate! Prebolused and it worked out almost perfectly. I have a tendency when I eat mashed potatoes to probably eat more gravy than potato! Like a small soup bowl with mashed...

@RoughcutAU It just depends on your endo, your TIR, and your lows. In the US, it seems to be more about the percent of lows being under 4% and preferably under 3%.

@cdpm I use Skin Tac when I know I'm going swimming, it gives it extra adhesion. Also I never put them directly on the side of my arm, I used to always knock them off.

Hi Everyone! Well, I had started to feel better so I was doing more odds and ends of things. We have all these floor rugs down because we have a interlocking wooden floor and the dogs slip on it. I really like it because we can wash the rugs or replace them easily if needed. But the larger ones...

@Etenc I think teenagers are known to have the worse control. It's a time where you are trying to fit in and find out what you like etc and you have this extra "burden" you have to deal with. It would probably be helpful if there were any meetings she could go to and meet some other type1's...

Oh @alison2006 I so feel for you. I was misdiagnosed as a type 2 for years. To this day there is still such a misunderstanding amongst some in the medical field. When you get it older it takes time to totally lose the production of insulin, but that varies per person, it can be weeks or years...

Finally this past week I feel I have made a major step forward. Sleeping straight for 6-7 hours and not that much pain when I get up and I have started on my exercise bike again and it's not hurting. Going a lot slower on it and only doing 2-5 miles at a time, but it makes me feel better that I...

Lantus notoriously can cause lows. But I also want to say steroids can be an issue. I really really react to them, they work great but even a small amount and my BG level shoots up and requires a lot more insulin. I avoid them as much as possible but sometimes they are needed. Last time I was...
