Be on the lookout for a fake website.  Googling “san diego insulin pumpers” gets you several hits with fake names.

• Valid: www.sdinsulinpumpers.blogspot.com

• FAKE: www.sdinsulinpumpers.com

The fake site hijacked our name and contains old content lifted from our site.  Don't give them any information!! Before going to a site, first check for our valid name, or better yet, Bookmark our site.

Please let us know of upcoming Zoom meetings or forums so we can include them in upcoming newsletters.  Distance doesn't matter.  If you think we can get helpful, knowledgeable, factual information,  let us know!

There is also a wealth of Diabetes and Pumping information on the TCOYD website on the page Online Resources under Video Vault at this address - https://sdinsulinpumpers.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=10bf3478ca168b1633b80832c&id=b3aa7c36bb&e=7210f09b7c. Dr Edelman and Dr Pettus have put several new videos up to help you improve your blood sugars or help you cope with diabetes.  There are also videos from previous online conferences. Whatever your question, you will probably find a video that addresses it.

Zoom Meeting Agenda

1. Introductions  We will have 2-3 minutes per person. We encourage you to write down and prioritize what you would like to say leaving out extraneous details: How you are coping, your stress levels, if you need supplies, etc.

2.  Tom will present his 2 minute tip

3.  Evening presentation

4.  After the presentation, if time permits, we will then answer questions brought up.  Because we have limited time, please limit your answers again to 3-5 minutes so we have enough time as some members have to leave at the stated end time.

Some members may be available after the meeting (like in person) so you can get more clarification then.

Meeting Etiquette

Be respectful of person speaking, we will MUTE those that interrupt! Side conversations can be held while someone is speaking via a text chat window. There is a feedback window on the bottom bar. Click on the Clap icon or Thumbs Up icon to give speaker feedback.  Depending on which method you use to join the meeting, the window may look different.
