Best of luck. I am on saline for a week and cannot wait to go on to insulin. The pump is great.
congratulations! Welcome to the pump team! :)
Cool! Have fun!
Congratulations Elizabeth! Your initiative and "take charge" actions bodes well for your pump success.
Keep good BG records and closely monitor your situation. Doing so will educate you on how to adjust your insulin delivery so it accommodates yo...
Good for you. I remember how i felt that first day. It was a combination of emotions. Make sure to keep careful records for your educator. I emailed her my downloads every week for the first month and we fine tuned my basals. I also had practical ...
Good luck with your new pump!
Congratulations on starting! Hope it works well for you over thanksgiving :)
Very good luck to you! Happy Holidays.
After I made a few, okay many, phone calls, I was able to get a trainer from Animas that had availablity sooner rather than later and I have my appointment today! I've decided, as I'm going home for the holidays that I'm going to start with insuli...
OK, guess I have to answer this, since I seem to be the only Quick around here
When I got my first Animas pump 4+ years ago they insisted I go through a training session with the area rep before using it on myself. Happened within a week of gettin...

However, once I got my appointment, I did go straight onto insulin via pump...no saline. I couldn't agree more ...
Amen, Joe!
I use an Animas 1250. I had it 3 days before I was jacked in and pumping Apidra. No trial period with distilled water, no class with an Animas rep. I spent 30 minutes with my CDE/PA and away I went.
If you're smart enough to calculate your own in...
I've got a Medtronic pump, and Animas may be a bit different, but I got a video with my pump and a book that went through the basics. I learned how to set boluses, basal rates, etc. It was about three weeks between getting the pump and going to th...
I got mine in a few days after the call that it was approved and then my Endo called me and my trainer called both on the same day to set up a time a week and a half later to start pumping. I started with insulin the first day. Sometimes they make...

Mattie said… - Hey Elizabeth! just wondering if you got thing worked out with your overnight lows. I think that no matter how low I go during daylight hours, somehow a low that wakes me up is always 100 times worse to deal with.
hope all is well for you! (and that your finals are over!!)

Anna Kiff (FatCatAnna) said… - Hey Elizabeth - I was reading about how much you fork out for our legal drugs to stay alive and kicking. Are you serious that your employer fired you because of you being ill with diabetes? Can you not fight that - or am I being naive here? Anyway, hope you are managing alright. BTW, I have family in Kissimmee and visit a few times a year (when it's not hot). Are you close to there?
