THIS MONTH: Chloe Diez from Mannkind updates us on the latest on Afrezza inhaled insulin. If time permits, we will have a short Open Discussion after the presentation. For Pumpers having blood sugar or other pump issues, please take a screen shot of your pump/BG issue for sharing with the group.
LAST MONTH: A festive December meeting included 14 Pumpers in holiday attire. Topics included managing heart and kidney disease, appreciation of diabetes technology, alternate locations for sensors, and basal rates for exercise. We also learned that new information on prescription drug interactions with CGM sensors is now included in the sensor instructions. Finally, a pumper told us about a website, EDC Solutions, where you can buy an insulin pump holster: https://sdinsulinpumpers.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=10bf3478ca168b1633b80832c&id=0409907b71&e=7210f09b7c.

Zoom Meeting Agenda
1. Introductions We will have 2-3 minutes per person. We encourage you 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 presntation 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 before 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.
Bear with us; we are all learning. We will figure this out. We have tried to anticipate and mitigate problems that could arise. I'm sure there will still be some!!
PLASE READ PAST THE FIRST PAGE TO LEARN ABOUT FUTURE PROGRAMS. Details of studies and other diabetes information of interest will now be on our website ^^^^^sdinsulinpumpers.blogspot.com).^^^^^
