Does anyone out there have an idea for how to protect the pump and meter from splashing water? Recently, my 12 year old daughter played at a splash pad with her cousins (while with grandparents, not with me) and forgot until it was too late that she was wearing electronic equipment. Thankfully, the pump...

Well Karen, I know with my Animas 2020 I wear it all the time when I'm at the beach/floating in the ocean (lucky you), but that's because it's waterproof. The only prob is sand getting into the battery cap area - but that doesn't seem to effect how it works. The only thing I could suggest...

I am very annoyed. Because of the few inches of snow that had to come today, my first reed-making class was cancelled. Grrrrrr! My other bassoon friend and I were practically counting down the seconds 'til we were supposed to have it, and now we have to wait 3 whole weeks!!!! So yeah, my supposed...

Hello again. I hate homework, particularly anything to do with weathering and granite, quartz, and feldspar. But anyways...today was a not hydrated day. Did I really only drink 16 oz. of milk? I'm not sure how I survive with this rate of water intake. As for numbers: 73 96 94 90 66 150 116 99 100...

Alright, my first blog post ever on Juvenation. Sorry for it to be short, but I have to go do a set change and go to bed because of *gasp* school tomorrow. For the Water Experiment: Today was a very dehydrated day. I had maybe 10 oz. of water and 16 oz. of milk. Very bad, I know, but I'm working...

The Water Experiment: Day 7/Alyssa: DEHYDRATED So, I see it’s been a week J Yes, another dehydrated day for me. But only because I planned on drinking water and actually forgot in the chaous of the day. I’m working on submitting some writing so that’s got me pretty tied up at the moment...

The Water Experiment: Day 6/Alyssa: DEHYDRATED So this if the sixth day for me, and at least the third day for dehydrated. This may or may not turn out to be extra data; I'll have to see how many 'hydrated' days I end up having. Anyway, today's blood sugars in mg/dL have been: 260 210...

The Water Experiment: Day 4/Alyssa: DEHYDRATED M'kay fellas :) I'm posting an hour earlier than I did last night, so I have at least a little bit of time I can waste being random whilst I blog about Day 4 :) So, today was a "dehydrated" day for me... About 20 oz. of water, 8 oz. of...

Okay, so I have decided to do one day non-water, two days water, one day non, two days, etc., etc., etc. Today's Blood Sugars: 7:15 AM-132 9:00 AM-121 12:00 PM-95 2:30 PM-43 :( 5:00 PM-132 9:30 PM-96 11:15 PM-110 Average=104!!! :) To quote Ruth, "Yay H2O!!" :) Goodnight...I must be off...

The Water Experiment: Day 1/Alyssa: HYDRATED I've got to write this one up quick, I've got school in the morning and have to get to bed :) There have been a few questions about how long this experiment will run. As of tonight, I plan to watch my blood sugars 2 days hydrated and 2 days with less...

The Water Experiment: Day 1/Alyssa: HYDRATED Everyone participating in The Water Experiment can track their results however they prefer; I, however, have decided to post mine in my blog. I have also divided my results into two categories: weekend and weekday. This is because during the weekday, I am...

Alyssa, We've been told that the water after/during a high is to help with the keytones, not the sugars (though, that may help too). You've hit the nail on the head, though, in that getting your water is healthy for everyone, not just people living with D and not just when you're high! Beemer...
