She is currently training about 2-3 hours a day 2-3 days a week. The training is very intense and her OmniPod keeps falling off when she perspires, runs, jumps, lunges. We have tried taping it down using medical tape, using tegaderm, using sticky wipes, even ace bandages. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions for a different pump that would work better with a high level of exercise? Or maybe a way we can make this one stay on? As she progresses in her sport the training will only become more intense. We need to find a solution. </p> http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/topic/soccer-trouble-with-lows#post-113 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:47:24 +0000 chicago Real Estate 113@http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/ <p>Your Question is not important you Just Feel happy Because Spain Have Won the World cup foot ball 2010 with Exuberance and style. so many people in Holland crying on the defeat of their Country. </p> http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/topic/welcome-3#post-112 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:44:57 +0000 chicago Real Estate 112@http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/ <p>Hi my name is Nasir Ghaffar Student of MBA age 25.

My 20 year old son recently started Jiu Jitsu and is getting incredibly frustrated. His insertion site falls out daily. At present he is using Skin Tac, Torbot Cement and (2) IV 3000. I&#39;ll definitely look into the Tegaderm Film and suggesting he move the site (he only switches from left/right side of stomach).

Under the Sports Medicine category, I&#39;m only finding Orthopedic doctors, but that&#39;s not what I need.</p> <p>Unfortunately, my endocrinologist doesn&#39;t get it. She tries to &quot;treat&quot; me like the rest of her patients.

Sadly I didn&#39;t get to finish the MdS, but it was NOT because of the diabetes. It was due to salt, or more specifically, a severe electrolyte imbalance. If you remember the iconic image of the lady in the 1996 olympics women&#39;s marathon, wobbling all of the place, well that was me 3 times during the MdS. However I have learned from the experience and intend doing the event again in 2014.</p> <p>I have started writing a story about my experiences in the event and have posted the fist part here - <a href="http://www.train2gain.biz/My_Sahara_Stroll_2010/images/marathon_des_sables_2010_-_the_story_-_1st_part.doc" rel="nofollow">http://www.train2gain.biz/My_Sahara_Stroll_2010/images/marathon_des_sables_2010_-_the_story_-_1st_part.doc</a> . There&#39;s still a lot kore to the story as we got caught up in the results of the Icelandic volcanoe and ended up travelling from Marrakesh to the Lakes District of England across country. It became a second endurance event.</p> <p>Alex of Oz </p> http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/topic/mt-kilimanjaro#post-86 Thu, 13 May 2010 15:55:19 +0000 Louise Arkle 86@http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/ <p>Hello Barbara,</p> <p>I hope my account of Kilimanjaro is of some use to you! </p> <p>I, too, use a Medtronic Paradigm 722 pump and a Medtronic Contour link BG meter. As well, however, I often use a Precision Xtra BG meter. I took both with me to Kilimanjaro. (I turned 49 the week after we climbed Kilimanjaro.)</p> <p>No, I did not use any control liquids to evaluate the validity of my BG readings. That may be a good idea, but I just trusted the meter&#39;s readings. I found that I likely ate more than I normally would as I believed leaving camp with a slightly high BG was preferable to going hypoglycemic while hiking. I always had snacks with me and paid attention to any low BG symptoms. I was advised that I might want to reduce (by half) my basal rates above 10,000 ft (3500 meters) so I watched my BG very closely the first couple of days at higher altitude. However, my readings stayed consistent, so I did not adjust my basal rate. This is something you might want to consider. My HA1C results, taken shortly after I returned, were good, so I believe my BG control was reasonable throughout the time on Kili.</p> <p>My pump worked absolutely normally throughout the climb. As my meter always gives error readings if it is too cold, I insured that I kept my meter warm - carrying it next to my body, but also, warming it up under my arm before I tested. I also put my meter in my sleeping bag at night. </p> <p>Another piece of advice I have (that maybe you already know and is not diabetes related) is, stay well hydrated, especially at altitude. I think that makes a significant difference!</p> <p>Best of luck on your climb! I hope and believe it will go very well for you! </p> <p>Louise </p> http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/topic/boston-regional-desa-conference#post-85 Tue, 11 May 2010 23:35:14 +0000 Florian 85@http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/ <p>Hi Everyone,<br /> Show of hands please, how many DESA members, athletes, and sportsmen, in the Boston area or beyond are signed up for the Regional DESA Conference on June 12 at the Joslin Diabetes Center? The local Boston Chapter of DESA has been working hard to put together a good program of speakers, topics, workshops,that will be of interest to all. I am personally looking forward to meeting, seeing, and hearing Kris Freeman the Olympic X-Country Skier talk about his training and experience in the recent Olympic X-Country races. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Kris is a Type 1<br /> Its time to register if you haven&#39;t already done so. Hope to see you there.</p> <p>Florian<br /> Boston Chapter Member </p> http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/topic/mt-kilimanjaro#post-84 Tue, 11 May 2010 08:17:40 +0000 bwagner 84@http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/ <p>Dear Loiuse!</p> <p>I am a pump user also an want to climb Kilimanjaro this August with my husband and a organised group. What insulin-pump did you use and what BG meter? I use a Medtronic Paradigm 722-pump and a Medtronic Contour link BG-meter. Did you use controll-liquids to insure that the BG-controlls are valid. Did you notice any deviation from the regular function of pump and BG-meter? Do you have any other usefull advice for me?</p> <p>Im am 47 years old, femal and diabetic since almost 30 years and live in Vienna/Austria/Europe. My english is not so fluently, excuse me.</p> <p>Thankyou for your advices an your impressions from climbing Kilimanjaro.
