Sherri replied to John Smith's discussion 'How do you sleep at night?'"I had the CGM on for 6 days, along with my pump on the other side. Honestly I didnt even notice the CGM. I am a crazy sleeper (i have woken up with my infusion set out) and mostly sleep on my sides and stomach. I didnt have a problem at all with it."
Sherri replied to Michael Chappell's discussion 'How long does it take to get used to pumping?'"I am also extremely impatient! I got my pump in april, and found it much easier and less stressful than shots. I love it. I adjusted very well to my with a exception of one day trying on a million outfits and felt like nothing looked good with my…"

Suzanne replied to Sherri's discussion 'Anxiety and Diabetes'"Definitely sounds like some cognitive behavior therapy could help with those thoughts and fears you are having. It is amazing how our brains tell us things that totally freak us out!"
Sherri replied to Sherri's discussion 'Anxiety and Diabetes'"Yep I have tried it... I found that works for me is the Nirivam...but it more helps at that moment..im hopeing when I go on the pump I will have less attacks because they are mostly brought on because I give myself a shot and I feel like "what…"

There is a learning curve to the pump - but once you get past all that and understand the importance of really diligent carb counting - you will be fine!

- Hey there - we used to live in Charlotte, My DH uses the OmniPod and our DD uses the Animas Ping. We are loving the freedom so far - although she is 8 so your experiences may be different. But she loves no more shots. And I love being able to bolus her without have her stop to take the pump out of her little belly band. We are already seeing much improvement in her control. And she loves the ability to snack whenever she wants!!
Hope you love it!
