I called them after I wrote that post and they gave me the first set of instructions that you wrote. I'm still taking a break because I realize if I hook that pump back up, I'll be wasting a whole big ol' vial of Lantus.…"

one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
