Unfortunately, his temp then started dropping (although it only took a few hours to get the bg stable, it set off a low temp cascade) & he was in the NICU for 9 days because of it. (at 38.5 weeks & 7 lb 3 oz it shouldn't have been a "preemie" issue but the pediatrician said that sometimes diabetic babies need those final weeks to get their temp regulating systems in place).HVShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05643496443110391440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114050942344404214.post-72581147578099955562011-12-12T17:20:50.850-05:002011-12-12T17:20:50.850-05:00I vote for moving to Texas!!

The reason I am commenting on this post is the med/surg rotation. My wife is an RN and works in the NICU, she has also been an OR nurse. When she started nursing she did two years of Med/surg and while she did not like the work, she swears it made her a much better nurse because she was exposed to a little bit of everything. Her advice to new nurses is to start in med/surg in a busy hospital and go from there.

You don't have the be at your PC to see how your basal rates, boluses etc are affecting your BG levels.<br /><br />The screen on the Animas Ping pump is by far the east to read that I have ever seen. (I have poor eyesight, so this was important to me).<br /><br />....JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114050942344404214.post-74300209993682404352009-08-11T20:51:11.090-04:002009-08-11T20:51:11.090-04:00Thanks for the info. about the Ping.

Not much of a change, but enough to really foul up your BG's...as I found out after doing the exact same thing you did (enter my Cozmo paramaters into the Ping). <br /><br />I'm not saying that's the SOLE cause, but it's one contributing factor. Since I couldn't use the exact same I:C ratio, I ended up using 1:7 instead of 1:6.5, and decreased my basal rate slightly, to compensate. <br /><br />Basal rates on the Ping can be increased or decreased by .005 units...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114050942344404214.post-83116778631217645432009-08-11T10:03:28.576-04:002009-08-11T10:03:28.576-04:00I've wondered about the omnipod too, now I'...I've wondered about the omnipod too, now I'm not so sure about it.

It was a $49 offer for current Cozmo users to switch to the OmniPod, receiving a brand new first generation PDM and a box of 10 pods. Sadly however, the deal ended today. You MIGHT be able to call and fax in the paperwork super quick though. They said that as long as you have the file started by today at the latest (meaning at least one of the forms in to them), you are grandfathered in for the deal. You would just have to call and see if you can still fax in something to get the deal.
