jlg0521 asked: This is Anonymous from before, thank you so much for those who have posted ideas. I'm hoping to have it together before this weekend; I think I'm going to try to find some stickers and bumper stickers of video games and bands and stuff that he likes that he could put on there if he wants to. Keep the ideas coming, they're so helpful! You guys are awesome.
No, you’re awesome!
Special awesome sibling of a diabetic hi-5.
emmyofrel asked: To the super cute anon wanting to make a "Diabetes Tool Box" for her brother, I'd also say. A place for glucose tabs/juice boxes/candy. A carb cheat-sheet (I don't know how big this box is, but it can be index card sized if need-be). And that's all I can add. That is a super sweet and cute idea and good luck and prayers to both of you!
skyes-sky asked: For the asker who wants Ideas for the manly diabetic took kit. I keep all of my things in a larger zippered pencil case. It holds everything (except my meter and pricker). But it's great! It is easily transported from backpack to wherever else he may need to take it. I love it because it holds all my syringes, extra pump sites and resivoirs, an extra strip case, insulin vile, glucagon kit, and almost everything else I need. It's small enough that it's easy to transport! I can send a picifyouneed
Anonymous asked: My little brother is 16 years old, and plays varsity football. He was also diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes last night after a trip to the hospital- his blood sugar was over 580. I would really like to make him a "Diabetic Tool Box"- a super manly large tool box that has things like compartments for his lancets, monitor, etc along with snacks like juice boxes, glucerna, and such if he gets low. I would really appreciate any ideas of things to include for him to show my support, thank you so much!
kajshfkjahdsdkjah THAT IS THE CUTEST THING EVER
ahem

that’s all I can think of at the moment, followers?

AHHHH Naoms and I have been busy with school. I’m going to try a new layout at some point this weekend. For some reason tumblr likes screwing with ours.

Anonymous asked: re: infusion set scars question. I use austrailian tree tea oil (you can get it at most pharmacies) and it helps a lot with scars--it's also great for finger tips and keeping them soft/healthy. a lot of people use it for stretch marks, too.
Ooh…I’m going to try this.
fromgirltosteel asked: The last time I flew with my pump, they were super paranoid about messing it up and getting sued, I guess. I had a security check ticket and everything, and they just searched my bag and waved the wand around me. they didn't want me to touch the pump at all. It was kind of strange, they wouldn't let me take it off.
I guess it all depends on the airport. Usually they just swab my hands, especially now that they have those weird cylindrical x-ray things.
type1diabeticblog asked: Hi :) I've started a type 1 diabetes blog, and would like some followers. Would you mind posting my blog so people can follow me? I'll do the same for you as I get more followers. :)

shannonnashleyyys asked: how do you get rid of infusion set scars? I realllllly want to get rid of them for bikini season :/
You could try scar treatment cream like Mederma.
How often do you change your site? And what brand do you use/what size is it?
If you change it more frequently and can use a smaller one, scarring shouldn’t be as big of an issue.
