Kirby at 1/26/2010 10:23 AM My granddaughter is 14 years old and was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes at age 7. She has utilized the pump for insulin for several years and tried to move to the continuous monitor last year. The pain is too much for her. With the more advanced research, surely inserting a continuous monitoring site should not be so painful. Any suggestions. Posted by Jan at 1/26/2010 10:09 AM My niece has had D since the age of 8, is a Minimed pumper and has used Minimed's and now, Dexcom's cgms. I welcome more computeried input to help us with basal adjustments, like the idea of the pump discontinuing insulin administration for a few hours when very low, but I just read you are using EXISTING Dexcom technology in the AP project and you feel that it is "good enough." I beg to differ. Two readings in the 34 to 36 range (the first two in years) while trusting Dexcom sensor which read 126 and 88 respectively. Low alarms which I mistakenly trusted and treated with juice without testing only to wake at a very high number. How will you make the AP safe given these types of readings? Posted by James Kempton at 1/25/2010 8:50 PM I've been a Type 1 for 43 years. I haqv been using a pump with a glucose monitoring sensor added for the past 2 years. The weakness of this system for me is the lag time from the monitoring sensor back to the pump readout screen also cost. Posted by Rosi at 1/25/2010 1:44 PM There is so many types of db equipment (meters, pumps, etc). We want what is best for our children, family, and friends. Let's focus our moneys and skills to this. Let us make it accessible to all. This diabetes is truly out of hand. I am excited about the technology but do not let the price choose who can benefit from this. Any thoughts? Posted by Beth at 1/21/2010 7:05 PM My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes one year ago at age 9. She is doing a great job taking 3-4 insulin shots a day but is getting lazy with taking her blood sugar. i have been following the Artifial pancreas Project online and am very excited for this to come. THANK YOU for doing all yuo can to help everyone with diabetes. With your efforts, you will make my daughters life a lot better.
