San Diego Insulin Pumpers
Mutual Support - General Discussion - Expert Speakers All pumpers, companions, and friends welcome!

Don't Miss the MAY meeting of the San Diego Insulin Pumpers!!!

THIS MONTH: OPEN DISCUSSION
MEETING TIME:  Monday, May 8th, 7:00-8:30pm
LOCATION:  Sharp Medical Facility
8695 Spectrum Centre Blvd, Room 186

THIS MONTH:  Bring your issues and questions and get answers and support from the group.

LAST MONTH:  The meeting was a lively discussion on our favorite foods to raise low Blood Sugars. Most of the group preferred a food item versus glucose tablets. Some of the favorite food items are regular Coke, OJ or Kerns juice, granola or power bars and a variety of candy from jelly beans, tootsie roll midgets, and Hot Tamales.

Glucose tabs are available at most drugstores and even at the Target pharmacy for a low price of $3.99 a bottle.  For those of you that like the Glucolift tablets and thought they were out of business, we have good news. They are still making their tasty glucose tablets and selling directly to the public on their website glucolift.com.

Pre-Meeting Dinner (Souplantation): Several of us get together about 5:30 before each meeting for dinner, and all are welcome!  Anyone who would like a bite of dinner before the meeting can join us at the Souplantation Restaurant in Kearny Mesa, 7095 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard (just east of 805), 858-715-6824.

Please be ready to leave the restaurant by 6:45 and proceed to Sharp so that our speakers and non-dining members are not delayed.

As always, significant others and any friends and family supporters are always welcome at the meeting.  Our meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month.
