Pump Sighting/Olive Garden
I was at Olive Garden today in Bolingbrook, IL and my husband saw one of the waiter's with a pump attached to his belt at his lower back. I never see fellow pumper's but my husband can find them. I said are you sure it is not a pager, he said nope it is a pump.
I saw him later running around, happy as could be, with his medtronic pump on his lower back.
He was so thin, but very healthy looking and ran around like he did not worry about lows (I struggle big time with any movement.) I of course wondered what his basal setting was at, and was very jealous of his happiness and how thin he was. :)
Who thought I could ever be jealous of a fellow pumper, ha!!
I bet he does not eat the food he is serving. Ooooo and men have such options with where they can put their pumps. Women don't tuck in their shirts much.

Yesterday, I was sitting in the waiting area at a tire store in Gainesville - Florida... There was this little boy and girl running around, the boy was wearing an insulin pump! Next time he wizzed by my seat, I had my pump pulled out and I flashed to him.... He ran over to his mother, pointing at me - yelling "He has buttons too!!!"
This was my first ever meeting with someone who is also using an insulin pump.
It also turns out that we had been trained by the same EXCELLENT trainer from the manufacturer!
Sometimes its a small world :)
Take care everyone!
