What is this thing called blogging that all these people are doing?  It’s been so long, I almost forgot how to blog!  Well I am back now, it has been an intense two weeks, a lot of things going on, working on a lot of great events that I will let you all know about shortly.

I have successfully gone a full week with the CGMS and I love it.  I don’t have it on today, but I do love it, however I have a few more questions for all of you.  I was giving these things when I received my supplies, I don’t remember their name, but it is something sort of like a transmitter adhesive patch.  But it came with no directions and I have no idea what it is used for at all.  It has stickiness on both sides, so that confuses the heck out of me.  I have just been using the IV Prep 3000 to cover it and that has seemed to be working fine.  My question about that is this, what should I use to get the stickiness off of my skin, you know the dark colored sticky stuff that stays on your skin after you take it off?

My next question is actually about the infusion set side of it, I wear the quick set.  The IV prep 3000 is good to put over the infusion set if I am, lets say going down to the Phillies – Marlins game on a Sunday afternoon at 1:30 to watch my defending World Series Champs (that’s this Sunday by the way), and it is hot and my infusion set may fall out (which happened at last year’s game).  I wouldn’t have any reason to disconnect the infusion set, so the IV Prep is fine, but is there something out there like the Iv 3000, but it has a circle cut out in it, so I can just put it over the infusion set and still be abl to connect / disconnect the tubing whenever I wanted?

All in all the CGMS was great.  I loved just pulling out my pump to see what my sugar was, and the calibration was surprisingly perfect!

I look forward to hearing answers to everything, and I appreciate it.

Thanks.
