Let's be honest! What's your Pump's name and how did you come up with it?
When I first began Pump therapy I giggled when the pump trainer encouraged me to name my pump. I figure, sure alright I mean I name my car, my teddy bears and have nicknames for my fiance... so sure I can name an insulin pump. My first pump was Xander he was a blue Medtronic Paradigm and his name came from the Greek name Alexander that means "Helper of Mankind".
My new pump is Gracie, she is a pink Ping and her name is a reminder that by God's grace alone have I been able to receive and finance my new pump therapy. So how about you all? I need fuel to prove that I'm not insane LOL.

The best name I have heard is Kermit - for a green ping pump. I usually name things....like my car etc....my CGM is 'football' because of the shape and my husband calls it that....but my pump.....mine is green too....well green but covered with a black case......maybe one day a name will come to me....I picked green for the healing color of nature. Enjoy the day!

Ooooh I was so close to getting the green one too, Kermit would have been a given :) When I told Jason (my fiance) that there were 5 colors to chose from, he said that he could guess before I said anything... he said "pink" I said no, "dusty rose" LOL I couldn't let him be right ;) As for the CGM... I'm trying to avoid that, how's that working for you?
