Trudy replied to Danboy's discussion 'Pump Start Help' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"Hi Danboy. A lot of good info here. I do think that a temporary lower basal would probably solve the problem. Whoever helps you get started should be able to set it and at the same time show you how to use when you need it."
jrtpup replied to Danboy's discussion 'Pump Start Help' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"I second Scott's wise words. If you are a T1, IMO you should definitely take your lantus, even if it means delaying starting pumping - they can always give you saline so you can start Tuesday am without risk."
Scott E replied to Danboy's discussion 'Pump Start Help' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"I must say, I'm a bit concerned that your doctor didn't give you any direction on this.

jeffojeda replied to Danboy's discussion 'What 1st Pump to choose?'"I got an Animas Ping a week ago. I have to say, it's done wonders. Love it. I don't think i'd go back to DMI if asked and I really like having the remote and meter all in one. That is so helpful."
Cody Turner replied to Danboy's discussion 'What 1st Pump to choose?'"Alot of it depends on how much fat you have and what areas you want to use it on. The more fat the longer the infusion set. I would as you rep what she would recommend for your body type."
olu Oog replied to Danboy's discussion 'What 1st Pump to choose?'"My dexcom rep just wrote me this morning that they approved my 1st pump and she is sending one; an Animas Ping was my choice. She asked me questions like size of Infusion set and if i want 3 months order of infusion and reservoir. Since i havent had…"
Danboy replied to Danboy's discussion 'What 1st Pump to choose?'"I am concerned about reliability and costs but I am leaning towards the Omnipod. I have reps coming in May from Animas and Omni. Dan"
acidrock23 replied to Danboy's discussion 'What 1st Pump to choose?'"Wow! Three months to play with it is great! You could sort of arrange that around a race, see if you like it and turn it back in?
