I don't believe lows are as bad a problem with a pump as with MDI but my understanding is that you can go into DKA fairly quickly while on a pump if you should stop receiving the insulin due to a bad site or a kink in the tubing.  I can't wait to get my son on a pump. He;'s got an endo appointment at the end of the month.  You should check out the ADA's pumping forum, it's called Pump It up.  Lots of good info there.  The link is below.  Happy pumping and good A1Cs to ya!

Please do not take this response as the 'right' response. I am going to assume you are talking type 2. My 2 year old is a type 1 so things are a little different but when it comes to BG we all want the same target #'s: 80-120 is perfect. My son uses Humalog insulin which is fast acting but takes three hours to have its full affect. I am not sure what meds/insulin you are using but I am assuming that the reaction time is going to make a huge difference. \n\nThis website (the ADA) has been a godsend for us: http://www.diabetes.org/about-diabetes.jsp\nthis link will take you right to the begining and will explain a lot. There are also message boards for every type of diabetic and they are great support systems. It is nice to talk w/ someone who knows just what you are going through.

This depends on a lot- what type of insulin, why you are changing, what times he eats.  Talk to your vet.

I have prescription coverage, and I still mail-order all my stuff. Insulin, test strips, infusion sets for my pump... i get a three month supply delivered to my front door. And, it is cheaper to get stuff that way. I'd check out the company, and then go for it.

Recumbant bikes are great!  They provide a very low impact aerobic workout that you can do while you watch tv, read a book, use a lap top computer, etc.  My mom and brother have feet problems and we also have family history of diabetes.  They both love the recumbant bikes they bought.  My mom says she can work out at a higher heart rate than on her treadmill.  If you like walking maybe you could change the way you are doing it.  Interval training is great for boosting your metabolism.  Walk as fast as you can for 30 seconds and then rest-walk for 30 seconds.  Repeat this 12 times (12 mins) and then finish your workout/walk as usual.  Pushing your body and then giving it recovery time will help to kick up your metabolism and thus your weight loss.  Losing just 10% (30lbs) of your current body weight will drop your risk for diabetes.  Your first victory was starting to exercise.  Reward yourself as you continue on your journey with non-food items.  New piece of jewlery, book, an hour to yourself for a bubble bath, a friend of mine put $100 in the bank for every 10 lbs she lost and at the end of her 100 lbs journey she took her husband on a cruise!  Stay motivated, keep moving, & good luck!

Two great recipients would be your local or state chapter of the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org) and the Joslin Diabetes Clinic in Boston (www.joslin.org) - Joslin is the leading diabetes research and treatment organization in the country.\n\nHelpful suggestion - make sure you figure this out BEFORE your fundraiser, because it's illegal to do such a fundraiser without being able to tell contributors where their money will go.\n\nGood luck!

if your doing this for school you can contact Bayer Corp. diagnostic division 800.331.4536 or lifescan.com both company's have programs to educate people about preventing and managing diabetes.They can get you in touch with a local rep who can provide a monitor, testing strips,research info and even presentation items.These companys spend millions each year to educate. why not take them at their word? Good luck.

HI, I wish there was an easy answer for this question! Apparently we are getting closer to a cure, there have certainly been a lot of medical advances made in recent years. Diabetes can be an incredibly frustrating and debilitating disease to live with. I know exactly how you feel as my 6 year old daughter has it. Not a single day goes by that I don't wish it was me and not her that had to live with this thing. Has your boyfriend considered an insulin pump?? They are fantastic for allowing a lot more freedom and flexibility when living with type 1 diabetes. He is very lucky to have someone who cares so much about him! Best wishes.

I assume that you are speaking of a child with type 1 diabetes in which case the only treatment is insulin often in the form of an insulin pump.  Diabetes is not fun but beginning about 5 years ago really good insulins have become available.  We now have nearly ideal basal insulin (to control fasting glucose) and truly rapid acting insulins (to control after meal glucose).  There are a variety of pen systems and pumps available.  All of the machines to test for blood glucose are equally good.  Joslin in Boston has a nice website.  Type in Joslin Diabetes and click Search.
