After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of Dr Akhigbe total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com} He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service.

I recently read a blog post titled "A Day in the Life of a Diabetic Child." It was written by an American who moved to Melbourne with her family--that's how I found her blog originally. A few months ago her young daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The post was quite eye opening. I hope you get things figured out for him very soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022613004406528874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641151777695044916.post-44824879993160841942013-06-26T05:07:05.553-07:002013-06-26T05:07:05.553-07:00Hi Nikki!

I chose the Animas Ping due to the small increments that you could adjust basal rates by. Another bonus is it's waterproof-ness. Joe does swim with his on. LOVED the remote option for bolusing when he was younger...or even still when we are out to dinner and he'd prefer me to bolus. With all of this being said...we are switching pumps next Monday 7/1. We are switching to the Omnipod. Joe really wants to go tubeless. He has been hooked to tubing for soooo many years and he is ready to try something new. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions. xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641151777695044916.post-4789073020099587412013-06-25T17:22:19.039-07:002013-06-25T17:22:19.039-07:00I wonder about the vaccinations too.

She stayed sick off and on and by November she was in DKA and we figured out she had T1D :( My other kids have all had their vaccinations and are okay though. I did get nervous last year when my youngest got his Kindergarten shots though, but so far so good.

The insurance covered those two 100%, so we took home the brochures and poured over them. In the end we went with Animas because it could give smaller doses of insulin, it was waterproof, and it came with the meter/remote. We use the remote to bolus our daughter 99% of the time. We live in Arizona and running thru a random sprinkler is common for us, I didn't want to have to worry about if the pump would get wet sometime. Usually for swimming she takes the pump off though. Our warranty will be up next year. I have asked my daughter if she'd like to try the omnipod and go tubeless, she has seen kids with the pod at camp and she says no, she doesn't like it (she says it looks like a big marshmallow on their arm). She did demo a pod that we got at a JDRF walk and she didn't like it. She likes the look of a T-Slim, but I think it's too fragile. We will most likely stick with Animas again when our warranty expires. My advice is to see what your insurance covers and go from there and ask your kid for his opinion too.

So if you were doing a shot of 6 units for pizza, you'd give 3 up front and 3 a few hours after.

My son would not survive on that diet.LOL It takes everything I have to get him to eat a little bit of fruit and veggies every day. Since Andrew is only on fast acting insulin at this time, he's not eligible for a pump yet. Could you please email me some of your menus that you feed your son. I'd be very interested to see if maybe it would be doable. Your sister-in-Christ!

We eat a Paleo diet. My son aged 13 was diagnosed type 1, 3 months ago. We started eating this way the day he was discharged from hospital and it is easy to maintain normal BGs. We don't believe he has had a honeymoon period as we think he had diabetes for a long time before we noticed something was wrong. He is on an insulin pump which I think is a little more similar to a pancreas which also makes the whole process a bit easier. Good luck with your son - it's not an easy journey, that's for sure. By the way, I am also a Christian!
