Hi, Sam I noticed from the Animas group that you started on your pump right around the time that I did. How do you like it so far? I'm happy with it but am starting to get annoyed with the smaller 200unit insulin cartridges. Medtronic/mini med has 300 unit pumps. I have to refill every two days. How about you?

Sam,
Is your trainer working with you?

Those BG's sound really low. Sounds like maybe they need to cut back a little on your basel dose.

Are you eating a snack before bed?

So far, the lowest I have seen is 75 after exercising and missing breakfast and lunch...My own fault. The past two weeks I have leveled off and I am seeing beautiful BG as well as intense energy!

After feeling 90 years old for so long it is wonderful to feel so good. My house sure appreicates all the attention, I am now giving to it.

Take care and good luck....Hope to hear soon that you too have leveled off.

Sam,
Wishing you as great of luck with the Ping as I have had. I too am new. I started on the Ping almost three weeks ago. My trainer played with the basal doses until she got them right where she wanted them. Not only are the shots gone but I am finding energy, I have not felt in many years. My family laughs and says maybe we all need one! You will have questions. Ask your trainer and the rest of us..Welcome to the Ping Family..
