Pumping!
Hi All,
I am now a pumper! I got and was trained how to use my Medtronic 722 on Tuesday, I also have a CGM working too. So far its been great a few little mess ups and all my fault (over calibration of the CGM - not funny) and not sleeping due to thinking the alarm is going to go off and dozing off and then it does!; but all in all its attached and working.

- Hi Steve -
Thanks for the offer. We are still trying to decide whether or not to do the trip. Matt has a cousin who, along with his partner, own a bed and breakfast in Queenstown, NZ. We've designed out trip so that we spend a majority of our time in NZ with their B&B as our base and about one week in Syndey. I'll let you know if it all comes together.
I just recently found an endocrinologist who has a terrific Nurse Practitioner who used to work for Medtronic. She has taught me how to better utilize the features on my pump and I'm starting to see my A1C come down from the low nines...(ouch!).

Daena said… - Hey Steve, nice to 'meet' you! That's cool...you lived and survived Singapore for three years. Despite the crazy weather (it's so humid now!). I'd say my biggest temptation here is the food. Not particularly good for a diabetic, I'd say.

How do the pumps in the UK compare to the ones in the States? Are the models available?

- I noticed on one of your post that you are trying to get funding for a pump. Is the pump or pump supplies covered by insurance in the UK?
