  • Life Insurance and Diabetes

    Here’s a warning to those of you who have your life insurance billed to your credit cards etc..

    I thought of myself as pretty darn lucky b/c i had secured life insurance a few years back, before i ran into the whole diabetes things and cardiac issues these past few years have held. However, my life insurance co switched from allowing bills to a credit card and notified customers by mail..unfortunately, we had moved and i did not receive this notice. So, in switiching credit card companies i just discovered that my life insurance policy had lapsed….

    i am hoping to get it reinstated with minimal research into recent health events and by back paying..but word to the wise..

    if you move, contact your life insurance company..because your health story can change so quickly…

    and if you are auto billed to a card or bank acct..make sure that you still see that bill being deducted….:eek:

  • pod and the hot tub…

    We keep our hot tub at 97…while you can wear the pod in the shower easier than a pump..how bout the hot tub? doesn’t it "overheat" the insulin? Just curious as I trial this awesome device..
  • need a chat:)

    hey guys i am trialling the pump idea and am dying to talk to others pumpers and non-alike..azz..i will pour the drinks:)
  • all i need…

    is a PDM that has cell phone capacity and I am sooooo in..

    trialling the demo omnipod..and i think i could fall in love…

    could have placed it better a bit on my right above the waist line so it looks like a lopsided love handle..

    the first hour was itchy…

    but even without running insulin through it i am so psyched at the possibilities..lived vicariously with every snack i looked at etc…

    wow..no wonder you guys love your pumps…

    and i haven’t even been at the mdi routine all that long comparatively speaking…

    what a silly rush…!

  • Casey Johnson???

    Why is this bothering me? Is it because it’s a rich person with medical world at her fingertips..and she ends up dead at a young age. i truley hope to god it’s not because of diabetes..i think this might depress me!
  • Naive Drug Question

    Can our insulin syringes be used by an addict? The 50 u type?
  • So I’m reading Pumping Insulin

    It’s probably about time!

    Now that I’m sold on the mechanics..and with the idea of tubeless pumping..i’m just trying to get my head around the costs.

    Anyone know where Obama stands on pumps?
