THIS MONTH:  April 12th meeting

WHEN:  Monday, April 12th from 6:45 till 8:00pm

TOPIC:  Open Discussion

THIS MONTH:  Open Discussion We continue to hold our Pumpers meetings via ZOOM in 2021. Bring your questions, issues and comments. 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: Shores Salter, Omnipod Territory Manager, and Lauren Weiler CDE, Clinical Services Manager, gave a comprehensive presentation of the Omnipod pump. The Omnipod is currently available with the Euros or Dash controller. The 3rd generation Euros uses radio waves and the 4th generation Dash uses Bluetooth technology. To check out an Omnipod contact Shores to request the Promise Program, a 45 day trial. The Omnipod PDM includes the Calorie King for help with carb counting and, with the Dash, can share data with up to 12 people. The Omnipod 5 is expected in the near future and will be partnered with the Dexcom CGM. Our website has the contact information for Shores and Lauren.

After the Omnipod presentation we had a brief open discussion where a very important topic was brought up. When filling out the DMV form do you need to answer YES to the question regarding diabetes and health issues? For a detailed answer check out Kriss Halpern's website: diabetesattorney.net.

Kris is a Type 1 lawyer that has discussed this issue at TCOYD events. On his website, scroll down to the end of his home page and you will find Diabetes and DMV articles. Click on the diabetes and license-renewal article to get a legal description of the circumstances required for answering NO to the Health question you think should require a YES. All the DMV articles are very interesting and helpful.

Check the Pump Club Speaker schedule for 2021 at the bottom of the newsletter. John Walsh is our next speaker on May 10th.

T1D Now on C-19 Vaccine Eligibility List

San Diego county has released a document called Eligible High-Risk Medical Conditions and Disabilities. Our favorite condition, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, appears as the very last eligible condition at the bottom of page 2.

To get vaccinated, you first have to try your healthcare provider, then, if that isn't possible, go to the county.

Second, you have to prove you live or work in San Diego county and you have Type 1.

Go to this link for complete details:

Recommended techniques for using Afrezza: Keep your ead upright while angling inhaler down per instructions. Drink a sip of water to prevent coughing and use at room temperature.
