How do you make love with an insulin pump in you? (I have diabetes)?
96308
When you have a pump, there is a stint that stays in you like with an IV, but the pump and tube itself can be removed if you're going to be active. You won't need insulin during love-making or any other physical activity. The stint is small and you can place it wherever you think is more comfortable - even your backside. When your activity is finished, you can just replace the tube in the stint and you're good to go.

I work with many patients who have used traditional insulin pumps from companies such as Animas, Minimed, & Smiths Medical.  Most folks who have read about or tried the OmniPod system are excited about the ease of use.  It's still early, since the OmniPod is fairly new, but it seems quite promising.\n\n***Be sure to consult your endocrinologist with any specific medical questions regarding your diabetes or insulin regimen!

you need to see both an endocrinologist and a certified diabetes educator.  Diabetes does not "sort itself out".  It takes dedication on the part of the patient and the practitioner (doctor, PA, or NP).  could be you need to get started on insulin.  Have you been, or are you resistant to "needles"?  insulin is not the end of the world; it CAN be a life-extender and life-saver!  The 16 hrs of sleep/day makes me want to ? other things, like: are you depressed, anemic, low thyroid, getting "quality" sleep?  all of these things can cause excessive drowsiness.  good luck.

Check out the product website for starters or read the direction / instructions that came with your Accucheck meter. (There should have been a pamphlet or booklet in the box.)\n\nIf you prefer a more hands-on approach, take the meter to your doctor's office and ask one of the nurses there to assist you. OR, another option would be to go to your local health department. Many health departments have a diabetes program in place, dedicately solely to assisting those in the communities with the disease. Someone there would be glad to help you...\n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Lots of rubbish answers here, sorry Mr/Mrs Asker.\n\nIf the answerers actually read the question - the asker isn't looking for what to do normally to keep his health in check - but wants to know what to do on the occasions it goes a bit AWOL, as happens to all of us now and again.\n\nI'm type 1, so can't help you here (it seems a lot easier to deal with short term probs like this when you're on injections), but it seems you'll be better off speaking to your doc as people don't seem to be able or willing to answer.

Hi.  I have had diabetes since I was 9 and I am 35 now.  That is a lot of shots, since I have to take them 3 times a day.  I alternate my injection site every time to decrease scar tissue and tissue damage, and to minimize pain.  I use my upper arm, back of my arms, legs, stomach, and both butt cheeks.  Since I am right handed it is easier to take the injection in my left cheek, but I still manage to use both sides.  I keep the injections in my butt higher up but have used a lot of the general area.  I have never had any problems of any sort when using my backside for injections.  The buttock is listed in most literature as one of many possible and safe injection sites.  There are many great books, Internet sites, and magazines out today that you might be interested in.  You can find some good information on any Diabetes issues you may have.  Of course, you can always speak to your physician if you are having a lot of pain or are concerned about causing yourself problems.  Check out this article and look around the site.  Hope this helps.  http://www.bddiabetes.com/us/yourinsulin/howto_injection.asp

In men\n\n      Long-term diabetes can cause damage to the nervous system, which is involved in the complex process of erection.\n\n      This means men with diabetes may suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) and be unable to get or maintain an erection. As many as a third of men with diabetes experience ED.\n\n      \n      Term watch\n      Erectile dysfunction is another name for impotence.\n      Some men only discover they have diabetes when they seek treatment for their erectile dysfunction.\n\n      Once diabetes has been regulated through diet, pills or insulin injections, sexual problems usually disappear and the ability to get an erection is restored.\n\n      In women\n\n      A number of women with diabetes may suffer from recurring vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina), which is usually due to yeast infection. This makes sex painful. You may suffer itching or burning sensations.\n\n      Women with diabetes may also get recurring cystitis.\n\n      There is also some suggestion that women with diabetes have problems with arousal, and just as the penis fails to become erect in the man, the clitoris in a woman may not respond to stimulation in the normal way.\n\nCan you make your sex life work when you have diabetes?\n\nIf you feel diabetes is causing problems with your sex life, talk to your doctor.\n\nWhile no-one relishes talking about sexual problems with a doctor, these issues can only be addressed if you seek help.\n\nYour doctor will try to find out whether sexual problems are caused by defects in the nervous or circulatory system as a result of the diabetes, or whether they are of a more psychological nature. Often this distinction is difficult to make.\n\nIn any case, when sexual dysfunction begins to happen on a regular basis it tends to get worse unless it is properly treated, so the psychological element inevitably builds up.\n\nAn increasing number of men who have diabetes and ED are being helped by medicines such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).\n\nIf tests confirm that your nervous system hasn't been damaged by diabetes, and there are no associated circulatory problems, there's no reason why your sex life shouldn't recover.\n\nSometimes a little help and support from your partner and doctor is all that's needed.\n\nWhat can be done about sexual problems that are not caused by diabetes?\n\nThis is a sensitive issue, but help is available.\n\nGenerally the most useful first port of call is your family doctor, who can refer you (and your partner) to a psychosexual therapist - or marriage guidance counsellor if this is more appropriate.\n\nTry not to dwell on the fact diabetes can cause sexual problems - just because it can, doesn't mean it will.\n\nAnd if you do experience difficulties, be reassured that nowadays there is a lot of help available.

I agree with the previous poster.  I love my pump.  As far as "restricting oral intake"- as long as you count carbs accurately, you can really eat whatever you want.  I take 1 unit to 22 grams, and if I count carbs well, I can eat 100 grams and still end up in range.  It's great.\n\nI have one rate I usually use, and temporary rates for background insulin I can set if I am being active.  This really helps prevent lows.  It's great.\n\nI also like being able to set different amounds of insulin for different times of day.  I used to wake up low all the time, not anymore!\n\nOverall, it works well.\n\nA few links from the post before mine don't work.  The links for the pump companies are:\n\nhttp://www.minimed.com\nhttp://www.cozmore.com\nhttp://www.animascorp.com

Throw it out. \n\nIt's true that many medications can be used beyond their expiration date, and in fact they are often shipped to third world countries where they are sorely needed.\n\nUnfortunately, insulin loses its potency more quickly than most drugs. If it isn't potent enough to control your blood glucose you could potentially end up in the hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis.\n\nPlay it safe. Get some fresh insulin. You and your health are worth the effort.

It depends on your needs.  Some are very compact, others have the insulin strip inside it in a cartridge, other read fast, others can be download right into you PC.  Basically they are all good, see what your insurance covers because not all insurance companies cover all of them.\n\nAfter you figure out which one you want to get call the company that manufactures them often they will send you one for free.  Or you can call around and find out which companies will give you one for free if you don't have insurance or it won't be fully covered.  My husband has gotten many free pumps.  Sometimes we get a letter asking will a list of the different pumps made from a certain company and we get to pick.  One came in the mail out of the blue from Accu-chek at Christmas time.\n\nMy husbands favorite is the Freestyle.  When I first asked him he said he has liked them all it just depends on what you are looking for :)! He has tried them all .. lol!  Right now he is using the pump and has a meter connected to it.

If you are talking about a pump to increase the size of your penis.... be careful.  When used incorrectly, you could seriously hurt yourself.  Follow the manufacturor's instructions.

I have a diabetic dog, so I know what you're going through. The answer "put it out of it's misery" was pretty thoughtless.\n\nWe use type N insulin from a regular pharmacy. I suspect you could also use a "people" insulin.\nThe dose should probably be carefully increased.\nAs with people, there's no maximum dose for insulin.\n\nAlso, your cat should be on prescription diabetic cat food. I favor Hill's Science Diet. \n\nHopefully, as the blood sugar decreases, your cat's energy and activity level will increase.\n\nGood luck!
