TIPS AND IDEAS

Tricia’s New Product Pick

Melissa and I, along with our families, had the pleasure of attending the Friends for Life Conference last week. Children with Diabetes puts on the event every year in Orlando, Florida and it is truly worth your time.

There were many new products that debuted at the conference. My top pick for the best new product was the Cleo90 infusion set by Cozmore. My two girls have yet to do their own sites, even though they are 11 and 13. The Cleo is going to make that an issue of the past. The girls will easily be able to put their own sites on, even in hard to reach spots. You do not have to use the Cozmore pump to use the Cleo90 infusion set. It will work with most of the insulin pumps currently available.

The Cleo90 automatically inserts the canula, but it also retracts the needle as well! You can watch a demo of the Cleo90 at Cleo Infusion Sets. Cozmore is offering a FREE sample pack of three sites if you fill out their form and have it signed by your endocrinologist.

I was anxious to get started with the trial sites so I called them directly at 800-826-9703. They offered to fill out the short form with me over the phone and then fax it to my endo themselves. Then my endo will fax it back to Cozmore. Considering my hectic schedule, having Cozmore do the legwork was best for me so I took them up on their offer. (Plus, I knew I would never remember to take Cozmore’s form with me to the endo two months from now.)

However you choose to get your free trial pack, get on it today. The Cleo90 has opened the door to the next generation of infusion sets.

PRODUCT UPDATES

FINALLY! Our Toddler Tank customers have their products. We sincerely appreciate your patience with us as we worked to make them just right. For those of you that may not have had the faith, we have all of our Toddler Tank sizes in stock, 2T – 5T. We hope the extra sizes will prove to be useful to our toddler sized customers.

Some of our new product samples came back from our manufacturer. It will be more like early 2009 before we have a new product to add to our line of clothing. Honestly, we keep our manufacturing in the United States so that we can easily communicate our ideas, but sometimes we feel like we must be speaking Martian with the samples we get back. Maybe it’s not that bad, but seriously we have some ground to cover before we are on the same page with our concepts. Once we are though, we believe you will be thrilled with what we are bringing out next. Stay tuned.

 

DIABETES WORLD SEARCH
 

Six Until Me

We know that living with diabetes is a daily journey. There is not one perfect path or set of guidelines that apply to everyone. Even when you think you found what works for you, a month may go by and suddenly you are back at square one.

When those moments of utter frustration set in, it is important to remember that you are not alone. The internet provides people an opportunity to connect with others going through similar challenges. Take some time to build your support group with others that know what you are living with.

Six Until Me is a very open and honest blog devoted to highlighting the life experiences of Kerri Morrone Sparling, a Type 1 diabetic for almost 22 years. We had the pleasure of meeting Kerri at the Friends for Life Conference and she is as genuine in person as she is on her blog. Her blog is a great first step in developing your personal, online support system.
