[Diabetes-talk] Shingles vaccine and immune suppression.

Wed May 11 20:04:31 UTC 2016

Hi everyone!
Oh yes. I was a bit stuck there because it's a live vaccine and if you are immune compromised or suppressed, you can't take it. So nothing for it but to live through it. Glad I had such an easy way to adjust my basal rates though.

Hi Veronica, 

So sorry to hear you’re not feeling well.  Your message reminds me that I need to redress the issue of getting the shingles vaccine with my doctor.  I had a titer test done last year and it showed I have no immunity to the chickenpox virus.  My doc tells me I can wait until I’m 60, but I think I’d rather be vaccinated to protect against anything to do with chickenpox.  I’ve heard it from others that it’s misery to live with.

Feel better soon.

Eileen

Oh yay!
As soon as I come up with a BG log full of lies, I'll join in making recommendations as well. Thanks so much for letting us know.
In addition, my using the Dexcom will be delayed till I get off of all these pain meds. Man, I can't believe it. I am in my second week of living with Singles. All those TV ads are right! It's brutal! I actually had to raise my basal rates 15 per cent just to accommodate what the pain was doing to my blood sugar levels. The whole right side of my body is affected and it's just miserable! It would be a good time to have a working CGM though.

Hello Listers,

I don’t know if you remember I posted a while back on thee surprising accessibility of the DexCom G5 Mobile system for iOS. I am proud to say that the developer of the app for the iPhone has been taking my suggestions to heart and has  made the application more accessible with one of the most recent updates to the app. VoiceOver now reads what the blood sugar is doing i.e.. slowly rising, constant, slowly falling, etc. 

They have also been making small improvements to the app to make it more responsive.

Thanks,

Ed Worrell
