@qtcassie220 Hello, I was just wondering how you manage recording all your results,Activities,Exercises in general isn't stressfull? I'm fifteen and I was just diagnosed with type one Diabetes a year ago and I've already given up.. :S Maybe it's the fact that I don't know any Diabetics and the ones I've met Drink coke..etc and get as high as twenty and take Insulin afterwards!! :S Hello from London, England. :)

@RakeyRaker Well, keeping a record of everything just became a habit for me and I think it's important, especially if you see a doctor regularly. And those who drink soda and are diabetic aren't doing what is best for their bodies. You want to be careful when it comes to sugary foods. I try to just stay away from them and I suggest that for every diabetic. And I hope that you are checking your blood sugar several times a day. That is crucial for a diabetic. Oh, and my sister is in England! :D

Do you wear your pump while you exercise?

[qtcassie220]

@MrVenebi I don't wear it while I exercise. First of all, it just gets in the way and second sometimes my glucose will go low so for me it's better not to wear it.

excellent video !! very helpful and gives a good idea of what supplies I should consider keeping with me. I travel a lot between Toronto, Montreal, Minnesota and California, so it was cool to hear about how your rates slightly change, never thought of that. good thing to bring up to my doctor :D I'm switching to a pump, animas onetouch Ping, in April so it's very good to see what others do with their pump and supplies Thanks for the information :D

My son has his "D" bag as we call it. Goes with him everywhere, everyday no matter what!

Pokey thing! Love it! Keeping a good log is always a good idea. I never got into the habit of doing it, so I don't do it. Most of the time, w/ exception of my pump clipped to me all the time, i try to forget I have diabetes. If I hadn't ust seen my monitor wen digging thru a pile in my room, I probably wouldn't be able to tell you wherei t was.
