Lost without my CGMS.......
I recently had a few sensors on my CGMS that went kaput.....since I normally reorder with 2 sensors left, I didn't have any more in stock, and have been the last 2 days without it. Having been on a Dexcom for around 2 years, I always knew that I depended on it but I didn't realize how much. The data I get every 5 minutes really helps me in keeping my diabetes in check. I didn't realize that the last 2 years I had become so dependent on that information and that it truly has been a huge help and blessing in improving the management and the confidence I have in my daily diabetes control. Hurry up Fedex.......
If you don't already have a cgms, I would tell you to ask for one for Christmas.....
Keep going, Peace, Bob

Just an odd Q for you. Do you know if there is any research or books out on the risk of chidren born from mothers who had gestational diabetes (how mine got onset) and the risk factor of them (child in utero at time of gest. diab.) developing type 1? I know its an odd question. But I figure if anyone knows you would.
Thanks
Joy
PS Happy new year!
From what I read, there seems to be the potential for increased heart/stroke risk and potential for language delays. I don't know personally know anyone whose children have had issues but I would say that the Children with Diabetes forum probably would be a great place to get answers straight from the mothers with Gestational diabetes. JDRF probably also would have a lot of data on this as there are a lot of mothers involved in this group. I hope this helps....
Happy 2009 to you and yours...
