As a 40-year resident of Arizona, I especially appreciated this one. Tom

Today, in snail mail, I received a tri-fold brochure from Joslin Clinic, about the Sensor Logic CGM Program. It appears to be a training course for those already using a CGM, and requires a $150 fee to cover supplies, meals and teaching materials. But no date or location is shown! Does someone have more details?

Brice, Since you are just starting the Navigator, you are allowed to gush! I'm sure you will like it. I have been using each Nav sensor for 10 days usually, and occasionally for 15. There is a specific technique that must be used to restart the sensor when it reaches the 5-day limit, and unfortunately you have to go through another 10-hour startup

Brice, You expressed the opinion "The Freestyle Navigator is pretty close to perfect". I've been using a Navigator for 10 months and have been pleased with how it has improved my control, beyond the pump. But I disagree that it is pretty close to perfect. I have always bolused before meals, and there have been quite a few times when the

Brice, You would probably be interested in the research being done at Joslin by George King, M.D. , their director of research. Joslin has records on all the type 1s who have received 50-year medals, and Dr. King, along with his research associate, Hillary Keenan, Ph.D. , have been studying the 50-year medalists who are still living. After much testing

Hi Josh, The responses to your posts have included a lot of good advise. I can't beat Janet's story of the 97-year old bicyclist, but I have been riding a bicycle for 30 years, and about a year ago my bicycle logs showed that I had accumulated 100,000 miles (over 30 years). So naturally I believe that the exercise has been good for me. I was

On Saturday, May 9, 2009, there was a meeting of 50-Year Medalists at Joslin. Dr. George King talked to us for about a half hour. One thing he told us was that he can identify the medalists in a crowd of people if he is told that there are one or more medalists in the crowd. After his talk, Dr. King passed the microphone to each medalist, in alphabetic

Back in 1986, at the age of 53, I was offered an early retirement package. It came as a surprise, but I decided to accept it, along with about 300 other people. I figured it would allow me more time for riding my bicycle, and that turned out to be true. Fortunately the retirement package included a continuation of medical insurance, and that covered

Sometimes the continuous mode (CM) and the BG will only differ by a couple of points, and other times there will be 30 or 40 points difference, and either one can be the higher. It's more useful to watch how the CM is changing, whether it's going up, or down. I have modified the hard plastic case that comes with the Navigator, so the case is

As an outsider, being male, a pump will give you much better control of your BG levels, and that has got to be important in the success of a pregnancy. I switched from injections to a pump after 52 years of injections, and didn't find it difficult.
