Pumping!

Posted on November 1, 2007 at 8:02am 2 Comments

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. Still getting used to it and today is atill only day 2.5 :o) . The trainer said that most pumpers name their pump's to give it…

Where to wear a pump at night ?

Posted on August 21, 2007 at 12:41am 4 Comments

I know everyone on a pump has to decide this and I may have to too (hopefully) but where does everyone wear or do with their pump at night, I’ve heard put under the pillow, leave it to find a place or buy a waste holder (haven’t found one on the net yet) any suggestions, advice would be welcomed …

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!).

Hi Steve -
Enjoyed your photos. My partner and I may be visiting NZ and Syndey in February. I am competely new to this site. It looks like you have been a member for a couple of years. Has it been of value? - Bob

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.

Hi Steve,
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?
