Insulin bomb yes or not?

Hello chic@s,
I return from the doctor ... My hemoglobin is more than triggered and its recommendation is to put an insulin bomb.The truth is that it is not the first time that he tells me, but they assault me ​​a thousand doubts ...

Do you notice that you carry it?

How about the exercise?

The day to day ... I don't know ...

I ask you please, to those who take the bomb that "disresusted me" a little.It is true that if we are going forward with the issue of the bomb, they will inform me and explain everything I should know, but I think that better than the users themselves will not advise me.

Thank you very much in advance !!

Hi Sweetie!
Under my experience, which is only 2 months and little, go ahead with the bomb!
It is true that at the beginning it costs a bit to have a hooked apparatus but you see the results, that you do not click, how easy it is to handle the units and time ... They are all advantages.
It depends on where you take her and as you take it as soon as it shows.I almost always carry it on the gutter, hooked on the bra, but there are a lot of sites!
Courage and put it on, you will see what difference!

And to exercise it does not bother ?? And in summer to go to the pool is there to do with noo?
It is that they told me and I told them not because I did competitions with dresses that surely everything was seen and I did not want to and now alomejor if it would hurt to me.
all the best

Man ... Let's see ... It depends on what you wear with clothes, if it is marked ... but as I don't care, because I don't give importance ... where I carry it, on the gutter, too, too, tooIt depends on whether you have a lotAs I hooked her with a clamp the bra, nor flip ... and as for the pool, I have taken it, and since I am not to be much in the water, I have unplugged it, I have given myself the dip andWhen I have returned to the towel I have plugged back ... for what they have told me, I can disconnect 30 minutes if modifying anything, but if you are going to be disconnected longer or all day or something escort, there are guidelinesI think, but I don't know how they work ...

My answer is a resounding.

Thank you very much for your comments !!In 15 days I have a visit again with the endocrine .. I'll tell you!

Intruda, I hope I don't bother you if I'm riding questions !!;) for example ... when sleeping what?I move a lot !!

Prado, I will visit the section.

Thank you very much again !!

Your calm hehehe although I already tell you that my experience is very brief, huh?hahaha
As for sleeping, I put it with the clamp in the pajamas pants (which I used to use pajamas in summer and it is a little what I miss) and without problems.At first I gave me a thing of the pipe that was chafara or bothered the pump a bit, but now I already unconsciously slide through the rubber of the pants at my please ... and nothing happens to the tubit, I assure you ...:)

To sleep there are many solutions, although sometimes it is a bit annoying.We at home do collecting, we go in the same bed, the dadThat that mania is removed, I hide the bomb, but sometimes it achieves it ... even so, with some stretch than another, that is entangled in one foot ... it has never been released, nor has it broken or anything forThe style ...

Before the baby I didn't bothered me too much and before sleeping with my partner even less ... (if not anything) haha.Come on that the comfort of the sleeping pump is inversely proportional to the people in bed: P

hehehe that good tica, I sign it!^:)^

And in summer for the beach you go with her all the time noo?
And with the sand of the beach and that does not spoil a little?
A health and thanks !!!

Campanilla, I haven't tried it yet ... Let's see Tica;)

Sweetie, the main thing you have to be clear about is that the pump is not the panacea, it will not control the glucose on its own, you need that you are very involved in your treatment to function.You have to get 6 daily glucose controls and know the diet well for portions so you can get the whole game.Do not worry about how, or where to take her, you will get used to her quickly and you will not realize that you take her.The important thing is that you have to want to take the reins of your treatment, otherwise it is useless.

Thanks Prado!

I have it clear ..., from the beginning I have taken the reins of my illness and I have learned to count rations, control exercise, etc.But my hemoglobin is like the indomitable Will Hunting ...
The controls already do them now, so it will be nothing new ... Hence what worries me is what I do not know, which is how to take it, where, if it bothers and if it shows, obviously!

Well, on the summer issue and the bomb I am not the one that can best advise you ... I don't just find a good solution.As I do not live on the coast, when I go to the beach I go to Bolis therapy.Last summer I was a week and a half with Lantus and the truth is that for me it is the most comfortable.I have tried to go to the beach with the bomb but I am afraid that I rob me (the same is a bullLeave it at home and the time you are on the beach drive you with ultra fast, it seems to me the least bad option.Even so, the catheter better remove it.I left it several times and ended the super red and a bit hot area (I don't know if there was an infection, but I didn't like anything).So if you go in the morning and in the afternoon, you have to change it to the day twice ... it is not a good idea ... well to see if someone gives you better ideas ...
Now I go two days a week to the pool with the little one and cover the catheter with the topancito it has, without problem ... the bad is the sand and the salt (anyway, I have enough mania to the beach)

My experience:
In November 2012, my 10 -year -old son with DT1, and who was already using this bomb, suffered from an episode of very serious ketoacidosis that could have been worse (10 minutes later and they pass it to intensive therapy to induce the coma) Because of this pump, he was hospitalized for 3 days without water or food, we communicated at the time with the company for advice and they never knew us to be due, after this episode we opted for my son not to use it anymore, last month we received a Public Information email from Medtronic saying this textually:
1. Temporary block of the ventilation holes of infusion equipment, which could cause the administration of an overdose or insulin infradosis.According to the information provided by the company, if insulin or other liquid spills on the top of the reservoir when it is extracted from the transfer protector after filling the reservoir with an insulin vial, the ventilation holes of the ventilation could temporarily blockConnector that allow the correct barley of the pump and administer more or less insulin of the due.
The company is sending a warning note (reference: FA577) to inform, both health professionals and patients who have the affected product, the recommendations to be followed to prevent the blockage of ventilation holes and the update of the update of the update ofThe instructions for use that will include these recommendations.
Same infusion teams that we have.
It should be noted that we have all the necessary evidence and we will gladly facilitate them so that it does not happen to you.

Hello everyone.I see that you have some experience in bombs.Less Victor Q for bad luck, has not been fortunate for his son.
They ask me to put my 33 months son the bomb.The debut last year with 22Meses .... How do you see it?In such a small child that does not stop moving.

Hello.In my case in a season of too many hypoglycemia episodes I was recommended to put the bomb, but as a practical martial arts and mountain career I saw it unfeasible.In fact, whenever they put a continuous glucose meter the measurements last one day, because the second one has already left the catheter or has stopped measuring.Finally, I intensified the control, made a recess of counting of hydrates and decidedIt is not necessary to use a pump and will always remain a future option.

Hello everyone! I carry with the bomb just two months ago and I have been preparing to put it more than 6 months!, and I get into the beach, it is not very full of sand, be careful the only thing, there are people who put even the film around hahaha, in a question of water, I at least use the Animas Vibe pump and immerses itself3.6 meters.
I totally recommend it!)

How do you check that the equipment is well placed?Once it happened to me and I do not detect it until I had the sugar at 500. When removing it I saw that the cannula is in the form of a lush and not why, has it happened to you?

I am only aware of having a well -hooked canula ... I don't pay much attention ... and nothing happened to me
