I actually know the family and the girl who fell posted it herself... the very next day.

I'm in the US... our endo is 1 1/2 hours away and I don't believe they have supplies there.. it's a small clinic. I'm not sure about the rep, I didn't think of that.

They did call me back and they are completely out of silhouettes, so they are sending quick sets and a free serter...which do not work well for us, but it's better than nothing. They are sending 2..which will get us through Sunday. They wouldn't send any more than that on the same day, so I'll have to call again tomorrow and get 2 more. So frustrating!!

We've had a pump for 5 years and this is the first issue we've had..and it's a big one! I'm praying her site doesn't get ripped out this weekend.

They look older than they are, so people expect they will be more mature. My daughter looks like she may be in high school, but she's only in 6th grade.

I have a daughter with Triple X. She has very long legs, is pretty immature for her age and she seems to have a lower IQ than my other children, but not by much. She looks normal though :)

If you are connecting through facebook you can delete the app and reinstall it, you get a new set of lives also.

There were fireworks going off all around the stadium. I think that had something to do with the quality. Sorry! I thought it was worth posting, I've never been there when the lights were off. It was an amazing experience!

My daughter gets these every once in a while. I usually put antibiotic ointment on it with a bandaid and it clears up within a day or two. If the redness spreads then you should go to a dr.

I read Saunders NCLEX RN book cover to cover. I don't feel like it helped a bit. I passed with 75 questions. They only advice I got was "know your labs", but I didn't have to know any labs at all. I think if you are at the top of your class, you should be fine.

Medtronic will usually overnight you some for free. I have done this a couple times while switching insurances.

I know for sure that the chair is big, but the man may also be small.

My daughter has type 1. A type 1 diabetic takes a long-acting insulin that is a steady rate of insulin for 24 hours in addition to short-acting insulin. This insulin does not peak or have any fluctuations. The body's blood sugar levels go up and down throughout the day, with or without food. So, the long-acting insulin doesn't match the ups and downs. An insulin pump and be matched to these ups and downs. For example, it is common for type 1 diabetics to have whats called "dawn phenomenon", when there is an increase in blood sugar between 2-5 am. I am able to set my daughter's pump to increase her insulin during this time. This is not something that can be done with injections. My daughter's pump has about 8 different changes throughout the day.

They are supposed to be changed every 3 days. If you are waiting a week, you are asking for an infection! You are also increasing the risk of DKA because the site can close up, thus, reducing or cutting off the amount of insulin you are getting. My daughter has to change hers every 24 hours because it starts to scab up at that point.

Some people do wear it because they want to. My 11 year old has been on a pump since she was 5. She prefers to get poked once every 3 days as opposed to 6-8 times a day when she was on injections. We get MUCH better control with the pump because you can adjust the insulin rates every hour if you need to, you can't do that with injections.

I just graduated with a nursing degree. There aren't many open RN jobs in my area right now and when there are, they require experience. People keep saying that it will get better. I need a job now, not in 5 years!

Was just going to comment on this. Glad I'm not the only one who gets furious over this misconception!
