Gary,

I would advise you to ask your Diabetic Educator or doctor about this.  This is a major change to your insulin regime that only they can professionally advise you on how to manage correctly.

Hello Jane, 
This is Mary. I am a current Mobi pumper. I had been using the Tandem T-slim for two years and a variety of pumps for the past 28 using multiple work arounds. This Mobi with my SE3 iPhone is the most useable one for me, thus far. 
Along with Patricia, friends and colleagues from both list serves, the Mobi and Omnipod Five are getting very rave reviews as far as usability.  Fill free to reach out and I am just an email away. 
Take care? 
Mary

I am not aware that Dexcom will calculate long-acting insulin doses. I know
there are some smart pens that do calculations but I think even they only
deal with short-acting insulin. This would kind of make sense as the
long-acting doses are usually prescribed without changing very often. It's
the short-acting that vary in responses to food and other circumstances.
Let's just hope you get your Omnipod 5 stuff soon.
Veronica

Message-ID: <59752483.2.1736275474117@localhost>

Hi, folks. I have been asked to do two things that involve you good people on the list. First, I want your suggestions for agenda items for our Knowledge is Sweet Seminar May 16 and 17 at our Jernigan Institute. Please tell us what you want to hear about enough to come to the seminar, and if you have ideas about where we can get a presenter about that topic, this would be good to know.

Second, I have been asked to get a presenter to talk about the importance of exercise. It will be good if that someone has a title suggesting they know about the topic from more than an anecdotal perspective; I'd like someone with credentials and a title. Again, I will appreciate any suggestions and if you have a relationship that will make you persuasive in getting them.

Thanks for considering this and helping me if you can.

Warmly,

Gary

On the iPhone Dexcom app there is the history tab where you can add events, including long  and short, acting insulin taken, food eaten, other medication?s taken, etc. However, I do not think that the Dexcom app does any kind of calculations or recommendations but just allows you to enter these events which would then show up on more detailed reports that are of course, a bit difficult for blind folks to access and analyze, but Health professionals often can use this information to make recommendations at medical appointments. Most insulin pumps nowadays do have built in calculators that will recommend a bolus dose for a meal or a correction based on blood glucose level, carbohydrates eaten, insulin sensitivity factor, etc. in order for the algorithm to compute insulin needed. The user has to enter into the system various aspects of their insulin requirements as everyone is different.

This is only a suggestion. For the importance of exercise. Is there a local
YMCA in the area? The trainer might be willing to come out. I do not know
when in that area. Unfortunately, I do not think the one I know in the
Warrensville, Ohio area will travel.
Good luck

Hi, folks. I have been asked to do two things that involve you good people
on the list. First, I want your suggestions for agenda items for our
Knowledge is Sweet Seminar May 16 and 17 at our Jernigan Institute. Please
tell us what you want to hear about enough to come to the seminar, and if
you have ideas about where we can get a presenter about that topic, this
would be good to know.

Second, I have been asked to get a presenter to talk about the importance of
exercise. It will be good if that someone has a title suggesting they know
about the topic from more than an anecdotal perspective; I'd like someone
with credentials and a title. Again, I will appreciate any suggestions and
if you have a relationship that will make you persuasive in getting them.

Thanks for considering this and helping me if you can.

Warmly,

I believe this is correct.
I'm on MDI and use this feature to make a note of what time I took my shot.
It's not a good feeling when you're busy and take a shot... only later you
aren't sure what time, or even if you did in fact take that shot. lol

This way I can easily look up what time I took the shot, so I have a good
idea on how it should be hitting.

Patricia is exactly right. The Dexcom ap does not calculate or recommend insulin changes. The ap allows information to be noted for you and your physician.

?
On the iPhone Dexcom app there is the history tab where you can add events, including long  and short, acting insulin taken, food eaten, other medication?s taken, etc. However, I do not think that the Dexcom app does any kind of calculations or recommendations but just allows you to enter these events which would then show up on more detailed reports that are of course, a bit difficult for blind folks to access and analyze, but Health professionals often can use this information to make recommendations at medical appointments. Most insulin pumps nowadays do have built in calculators that will recommend a bolus dose for a meal or a correction based on blood glucose level, carbohydrates eaten, insulin sensitivity factor, etc. in order for the algorithm to compute insulin needed. The user has to enter into the system various aspects of their insulin requirements as everyone is different.

Gary-
Pumps and CGM(s) are always points of interest to almost any diabetic
seminars attended these days because the results from using them greatly
slow down diabetic complications. 
Like last time, these trainers can almost always make presentations where
the seminars are held, as some of the reps and trainers did make sincere
offers to do so, last year. 
As mentioned continuously on the list serve, the 3 top pump companies are
still Tandem (Mobi), Insulet (Omnipod 5)and Medtronic (I don't give much
attention any more to this one). 
The CGM companies are still Dexcom and Libre. 

The companies let you know who the rep is in that specific area. Reps have
mentioned that they are happy to demonstrate and answer questions in seminar
settings which seems advantageous for a group of blind consumers gathered. 
List serve members post awesome questions continuously about these tools and
it seems like these are some of your largest participants at your seminar? 
Sincerely and warmly, 
Mary

I will check the resource in Baltimore. One concern is that I want them to
know something about diabetes and the effect of exercise on slowing,
stopping, or even reversing certain aspects of the disease. What does
exercise do to the immune system, and can it in any way counteract what
diabetes does in slowing our healing? When it reduces blood sugar, for how
long does this last, and what amount of exercise is required to make a real
difference? Do all types of exercise, both aerobic and anaerobic, reduce
blood sugar? What other issues might someone wise in the way of exercise
address that I don't know enough to ask. The issue for me is whether anyone
from the YMCA will know any of these things as a result of their work there.
I'll check this out. Your suggestion puts you at the top of my list. Thanks.

One other question for the group: if we can find answers to these and other
questions we may generate, how important is it for someone with a title to
address them. Suppose we get our board member Mark F to thoroughly research
this topic. Is a presentation from him as acceptable as someone with college
courses or time in the career?

Hi Gary and all,
I would want someone in the field to address these issues. Also would like
to have someone talk about side effects of medications and alternatives to
using medications to manage.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Diabetes-Talk] Planning our Knowledge is Sweet Seminar

I will check the resource in Baltimore. One concern is that I want them to
know something about diabetes and the effect of exercise on slowing,
stopping, or even reversing certain aspects of the disease. What does
exercise do to the immune system, and can it in any way counteract what
diabetes does in slowing our healing? When it reduces blood sugar, for how
long does this last, and what amount of exercise is required to make a real
difference? Do all types of exercise, both aerobic and anaerobic, reduce
blood sugar? What other issues might someone wise in the way of exercise
address that I don't know enough to ask. The issue for me is whether anyone
from the YMCA will know any of these things as a result of their work there.
I'll check this out. Your suggestion puts you at the top of my list. Thanks.

One other question for the group: if we can find answers to these and other
questions we may generate, how important is it for someone with a title to
address them. Suppose we get our board member Mark F to thoroughly research
this topic. Is a presentation from him as acceptable as someone with college
courses or time in the career?

This is only a suggestion. For the importance of exercise. Is there a local
YMCA in the area? The trainer might be willing to come out. I do not know
when in that area. Unfortunately, I do not think the one I know in the
Warrensville, Ohio area will travel.
Good luck

Hi, folks. I have been asked to do two things that involve you good people
on the list. First, I want your suggestions for agenda items for our
Knowledge is Sweet Seminar May 16 and 17 at our Jernigan Institute. Please
tell us what you want to hear about enough to come to the seminar, and if
you have ideas about where we can get a presenter about that topic, this
would be good to know.

Second, I have been asked to get a presenter to talk about the importance of
exercise. It will be good if that someone has a title suggesting they know
about the topic from more than an anecdotal perspective; I'd like someone
with credentials and a title. Again, I will appreciate any suggestions and
if you have a relationship that will make you persuasive in getting them.

Thanks for considering this and helping me if you can.

Warmly,

Gary

Hello Gary, 
Not sure if the last one went through, but
Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD) is a professional group and
excellent resource providing zoom presentations. One of their upcoming
seminars include beginning aspects of exercise for Type 1 and Type 2
diabetes. 

You might be interested in them. 
Mary

Ok, Gary. Good luck. A few years ago I took a class at my local Y. Although
it was a diabetes preventative class. I thought it was helpful and I know
that there are other resources that partner with the Y. Or should I say
provide programs to the Y. 
Thanks

?This is a great idea to reach out to someone who works in the diabetes prevention program offered nationwide by CDC as they have classes in communities throughout the United States, as well as virtual programs and have experts on all the areas of diabetes management that are trained in the same protocol. it could also be good to have a professional speaker for part of the time and then form a panel that also included two or three members of the group to share what has worked for them. You can just Google CDC diabetes prevention program and it will find the site where you can put in any ZIP Code and find out what programs are available in that particular area.

?This is a great idea to reach out to someone who works in the diabetes prevention program offered nationwide by CDC as they have classes in communities throughout the United States, as well as virtual programs and have experts on all the areas of diabetes management that are trained in the same protocol. it could also be good to have a professional speaker for part of the time and then form a panel that also included two or three members of the group to share what has worked for them. You can just Google CDC diabetes prevention program and it will find the site where you can put in any ZIP Code and find out what programs are available in that particular area.

Hi everyone!

I got some incredible news yesterday. I had blood work done yesterday for a doctors appointment I have tomorrow.

When I got the results, I immediately checked my A1C and was blown away to find out it is down to 4.9! That?s the lowest I can remember it being since I was diagnosed in 2007! I must be doing something right, so I?ll just keep on doing it!

Hi All, 

Does anyone have any Smoothy recipes that a diabetic could use and not run up their sugar numbers?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve
I found this on line
I usually make green smoothies every morning using things like Kale, Way protein powder, half a granny smith apple, ginger root, spinach and other veggies like beet and a little fresh pineapple
I change it up daily to give me some variety.
For example Way has cookie N cream protein powder with very low carbs and maybe 1 or 2 grams of sugar

But for now, here is something that may help:

Find healthy, delicious diabetes-friendly smoothie recipes, from the food and nutrition experts at EatingWell. Read More: https://www.eatingwell.com/diabetes-friendly-smoothie-recipes-7185721?utm_source=emailshare&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shareurlbuttons

Hi Rowina!  Thanks for creating this group.  I am not sure if it is just me, but I have not been able to use Facebook on my iPhone for about a month now.  I am not sure what settings I need to change, but navigating Facebook and Messenger has become nearly impossible now.  Any suggestions for how I can change whatever is wrong with my settings is greatly appreciated.  


I am running the latest version of IOS on a newer iPhone SE.

			Jamie

Hello everyone,

Trust all is well with you and those around you.

Lately, I am facing some issues when testing my blood sugar using blood test strips and Prodigy Voice. I may need more than one blood test strip due to the quantity of blood sample needed to do the reading of my sugar. I do get the following message from my machine: "Blood Sample not enough" or something on those lines. When that happened, I need to use a new blood test strip and sometimes painfully prick myself again.

Additionally, I do wash my hands with warm water, squeeze my hand and fingers before pricking myself. Also, I do squeeze my finger after pricking it and use the test strip at an angle to collect the blood sample.

Having said that and facing the problem again and again, I will run out of my test strips earlier than expected and the only way to get more of blood test strips is to buy them from my own pocket, I believe. So far, I did not go that extreme.

Please let me know if you or you know someone who is facing the same problem with Prodigy Voice and Blood Test Strips and how you are handling it.

Thank you so very much.

Have a nice day.

AB

If living in the United States, you should get a prescription from your doctor then  apply for your insurance company to pay for those test strips.
Sometimes walking around with your hands above your heart can help blood flow.  Also, drink water about a half hour before trying to do a blood sugar test.

I bought my own. Insurance companies do not understand this is why we hate
testing with strips. I have done the trick of putting an elastic tightly
around the finger and that helps puff out the place where I will prick, but
there is no good way to guarantee that we get enough blood on the strip.

Hi
Yes, now that I use the Libre 3+, I have to pay for my own strips but I get mine through Amazon for about $12 for 50 strips. So I only use them for emergencies when my Libre goes a bit wonky, LOL

I have found that if I just rub the end of the strip with my finger, it usually does the trick, or until I hear "testing" on my Prodigy Voice.
That trick is to get it on that spot.

If I prick my index finger, I take the middle finger and at times the ring finger just to feel where I need to go and then I go backwards, using my fingers, giving me a better feel on where I can dab the edge of the strip.

The Prodigy Voice doesn't take much blood to work but I understand the frustration of getting blood where it needs to go for it to say "testing"

Hang in there and I hope it works out.

Warmly,

Sugar

People will forget what you did....

Hi AB,

One thing that may be happening is that you are dehydrated. I complained 
about having to use a larger lancet so that I didn't stick myself and 
cause bruises all the time when I was getting blood work once. The lady 
taking my blood mentioned that it could be due to dehydration.

So, try getting more fluids and/or try using a lower gauge lancet. You 
can purchase 26 and 28 gauge lancets at walmart for a very cheap price 
if you want to just get a single box to try.

Hope this helps,
Cindy S.

Hello 
Your Prodigy meter might need new batteries? The test strips do not need
much of the blood droplet. 
Just a friendly thought.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Prodigy Voice and Blood Test Strips Question please

Hello everyone,

Trust all is well with you and those around you.

Lately, I am facing some issues when testing my blood sugar using blood test
strips and Prodigy Voice. I may need more than one blood test strip due to
the quantity of blood sample needed to do the reading of my sugar. I do get
the following message from my machine: "Blood Sample not enough" or
something on those lines. When that happened, I need to use a new blood test
strip and sometimes painfully prick myself again.

Additionally, I do wash my hands with warm water, squeeze my hand and
fingers before pricking myself. Also, I do squeeze my finger after pricking
it and use the test strip at an angle to collect the blood sample.

Having said that and facing the problem again and again, I will run out of
my test strips earlier than expected and the only way to get more of blood
test strips is to buy them from my own pocket, I believe. So far, I did not
go that extreme.

Please let me know if you or you know someone who is facing the same problem
with Prodigy Voice and Blood Test Strips and how you are handling it.

Thank you so very much.

Have a nice day.

AB

Prodigy recommends range testing with control solution once a week.  Whether you need low control solution medium control solution or high control solution depends on  what level your diabetes is at now.
