MiniMed Paradigm pump supplies

I just wanted to add a quick post to the diabetic world with type 1 diabetes and pump users that I am selling my MiniMed Paradigm pump supplies. I switched to an Animas pump early this year and have no use for these Minimed supplies now.

Great results! Treating neuropathy naturally...

In December of 2002 I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic. As most people who encounter type 1 diabetes later in their life, you go through several months of shock and denial. Those first few months were quite hard but it did not take long before my blood sugar was under control. The following year I discovered the insulin pump. It is a great tool and a huge blessing.

Almost went into diabetic coma yesterday

Yesterday was pretty normal for the most part. My blood
sugars were doing fair and my activity was normal.

Yesterday afternoon we decided to take my daughter ice skating since the
weather was nice (45 F). I have ice skated before, my wife hasn't, so I was
excited to show my daughter the ice.

About 15 minutes into ice skating I started to feel low but thought nothing of
it. I was cold, moving at a snails pace holding up my daughter, and feet
hurting a bit. I thought my senses might have been off. So we went around a few
more times.
